Perfect Graphs
The theory of perfect graphs was born out of a conjecture about graph colouring made by Claude Berge in 1960. That conjecture remains unsolved, but has generated an important area of research in combinatorics. This book: * Includes an introduction by Claude Berge, the founder of perfect graph theory * Discusses the most recent developments in the field of perfect graph theory * Provides a thorough historical overview of the subject * Internationally respected authors highlight the new directions, seminal results and the links the field has with other subjects * Discusses how semi-definite programming evolved out of perfect graph theory The early developments of the theory are included to lay the groundwork for the later chapters. The most recent developments of perfect graph theory are discussed in detail, highlighting seminal results, new directions, and links to other areas of mathematics and their applications. These applications include frequency assignment for telecommunication systems, integer programming and optimisation.
The Diophantine Frobenius Problem
During the early part of the last century, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (1849-1917) raised he following problem, known as the Frobenius Problem (FP): given relatively prime positive integers a1,...,an, find the largest natural number (called the Frobenius number and denoted by g(a1,...,an) that is not representable as a nonnegative integer combination of a1,...,an, . At first glance FP may look deceptively specialized. Nevertheless it crops up again and again in the most unexpected places and has been extremely useful in investigating many different problems. A number of methods, from several areas of mathematics, have been used in the hope of finding a formula giving the Frobenius number and algorithms to calculate it. The main intention of this book is to highlight such methods, ideas, viewpoints and applications to a broader audience.
Graph Theory in Paris
In July 2004, a conference on graph theory was held in Paris in memory of Claude Berge, one of the pioneers of the field. The event brought together many prominent specialists on topics such as perfect graphs and matching theory, upon which Claude Berge's work has had a major impact. This volume includes contributions to these and other topics from many of the participants.

Computing the Continuous Discretely
This textbook illuminates the field of discrete mathematics with examples, theory, and applications of the discrete volume of a polytope. The authors have weaved a unifying thread through basic yet deep ideas in discrete geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. We encounter here a friendly invitation to the field of "counting integer points in polytopes", and its various connections to elementary finite Fourier analysis, generating functions, the Frobenius coin-exchange problem, solid angles, magic squares, Dedekind sums, computational geometry, and more. With 250 exercises and open problems, the reader feels like an active participant.
