In a recent article, mathematicians explain the use of tools from the branch of mathematics called graph theory to systematically analyze Sudoku puzzles. They also find that analyzing Sudokus leads to ...

This research topic explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of graph labeling and coloring problems, both of which are central to modern combinatorics and computer science.

The study of graph colouring has long been a central topic in discrete mathematics, with a prominent focus on optimising the assignment of labels or colours to vertices such that adjacent vertices are ...

Color-by-numbers apps are really popular on the App Store right now, with four different apps rising to the top of the free apps chart. The apps have a combined 3.2 million downloads over the past ...

A theorem for coloring a large class of “perfect” mathematical networks could ease the way for a long-sought general coloring proof. Four years ago, the mathematician Maria Chudnovsky faced an all-too ...

In just three pages, a Russian mathematician has presented a better way to color certain types of networks than many experts thought possible. A paper posted online last month has disproved a ...
