Second Edition
By
Martin Golumbic, University of Haifa, Isreal.
Included in series
Adhesion Science and Engineering, 57
Annals of Discrete Mathematics,
Description
Algorithmic Graph Theory and Perfect Graphs, first published in 1980, has become the classic introduction to the field. This new Annals
edition continues to convey the message that intersection graph models are a necessary and important tool for solving real-world problems.
It remains a stepping stone from which the reader may embark on one of many fascinating research trails.
The past twenty years have
been an amazingly fruitful period of research in algorithmic graph theory and structured families of graphs. Especially important have
been the theory and applications of new intersection graph models such as generalizations of permutation graphs and interval graphs.
These have lead to new families of perfect graphs and many algorithmic results. These are surveyed in the new Epilogue chapter in this
second edition.
Audience
Mathematic and Computing Libraries, and Graduate Students.

Algorithmic Graph Theory and Perfect Graphs, first published in 1980, has become the classic introduction to the field. This new Annals

The past twenty years have
been an amazingly fruitful period of research in algorithmic graph theory and structured families of graphs. Especially important have
been the theory and applications of new intersection graph models such as generalizations of permutation graphs and interval graphs.
These have lead to new families of perfect graphs and many algorithmic results.
A new Epilogue chapter in this second edition surveys
many of the recent results in the area. It also gives pointers for further study. The book has served to unify the topic and to act
as a spring board for researchers, and especially graduate students, to pursue new directions of investigation. The book is also suitable
as the text for a seminar or special topics course in graph theory and combinatorial mathematics.
The book covers many applications
associated with classes of perfect graphs, including scheduling problems and resource. The important classes of interval graphs and permutation
graphs are studied, as well as comparability graph and chordal graphs. Coloring problems on perfect graphs in polynomial time is especially
important in scheduling applications.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment and includes proofs of the major results. It remains
is very timely in the development of the field, and the unified approach presented should be very useful for those learning and working
in graph theory.
