Sommario/riassunto

This reference on cluster physics in materials science draws upon the author's unrivalled experience in plasma science. He covers in detail electromagnetic effects, cluster motion and growth, as well as aerosols, providing the knowledge instrumental for an understanding of nanostructure formation.Around 400 case studies enable readers to directly relate the methods to their own individual tasks or projects.

Sommario/riassunto

"Written by world authorities on graph theory, this book features many new advances and applications in graph edge coloring, describes how the results are interconnected, and provides historial context throughout. Chapter coverage includes an introduction to coloring preliminaries and lower and upper bounds; the Vizing fan; the Kierstead path; simple graphs and line graphs of multigraphs; the Tashkinov tree; Goldberg's conjecture; extreme graphs; generalized edge coloring; and open problems. It serves as a reference for researchers interested in discrete mathematics, graph theory, operations research, theoretical computer science, and combinatorial optimization, as well as a graduate-level course book for students of mathematics, optimization, and computer science"--
