Recent Advancements in Graph Theory (Mathematical Engineering, Manufacturing, and Management Sciences)

Graph Theory is a branch of discrete mathematics. It has many applications to many different areas of Science and Engineering. This book provides the most up-to-date research findings and applications in Graph Theory.

This book focuses on the latest research in Graph Theory. It provides recent findings that are occurring in the field, offers insights on an international and transnational levels, identifies the gaps in the results, and includes forthcoming international studies and research, along with its applications in Networking, Computer Science, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences, etc.

The book is written with researchers and post graduate students in mind.

Dr. N. P. Shrimali joined the Department of Mathematics, Gujarat University as a lecturer on 16th January, 1998. Presently, he is working as an associate professor in the same department. He did his Ph.D. in point-set topology in the year 2013 from Saurashtra University, Rajkot. Four research papers were published during his Ph.D. Presently, he is working in the area of graph theory especially in graph labeling. Three students completed their M.Phil. under his supervision. Five Ph.D. students are registered under his supervision. Four students are doing research in graph labeling and one student doing in point-set topology. He has published 12 research papers in graph labeling in national as well as international joumals. He has presented 7 research papers in national as well as international conferences. He is involved in preparing various syllabi in his department. He is a life member of Gujarat Ganit Mandal, Indian Mathematical Society, Academy of Discrete Mathematics & its Applications (ADMA) and Gwalior Academy of Mathematical Sciences (GAMS). He also serves as the convener of P C Vaidya Sanman Nidhi Trust. This trust publishes a joumal titled Mathematics Today.
