Graph Theory (4th, Paperback)

This standard textbook of modern graph theory, now in its fourth edition, combines the authority of a classic with the engaging freshness of style that Is the hallmark of active mathematics, It covers the core material of the subject with concise yet reliably complete proofs, while offering glimpses of more advanced methods in each field by one or two deeper results, again with proofs given In full detail.The book can be used as a reliable text for an introductory course, as a graduate text, and for self-study.The fourth edition of this standard textbook of modern graph theory has been carefully revised, updated, and substantially extended. Covering all its major recent developments it can be used both as a reliable textbook for an introductory course and as a graduate text: on each topic it covers all the basic material in full detail, and adds one or two deeper results (again with detailed proofs) to illustrate the more advanced methods of that field.electronic edition: diestel-graph-theory.comFrom the reviews of the first two editions (1997, 2000):"This outstanding book cannot be substituted with any other book on the present textbook market. It has every chance of becoming the standard textbook for graph theory."Acta Scientiarum Mathematiciarum"The book has received a very enthusiastic reception, which it amply deserves. A masterly elucidation of modern graph theory."Bulletin of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications"A highlight of the book is what is by far the best account in print of the Seymour-Robertson theory of graph minors."
