2) = 1 / 2 n(n − 1) dimensions, and allows one to interpret the differential of a 1-vector field as its infinitesimal rotations. Only in 3 dimensions (or trivially in 0 dimensions) we have n = 1 / 2 n(n − 1), which is the most elegant and common case. In 2 dimensions the curl of a vector field is not a vector field but a ...
C: curl, G: gradient, L: Laplacian, CC: curl of curl. Each arrow is labeled with the result of an identity, specifically, the result of applying the operator at the arrow's tail to the operator at its head. The blue circle in the middle means curl of curl exists, whereas the other two red circles (dashed) mean that DD and GG do not exist.
When the degree is less than or equal to 2 or the diameter is less than or equal to 1, the problem becomes trivial, solved by the cycle graph and complete graph respectively. In graph theory, the degree diameter problem is the problem of finding the largest possible graph G (in terms of the size of its vertex set V) of diameter k such that the ...
A seven-coloring of the plane, and a four-chromatic unit distance graph in the plane (the Moser spindle), proving that the chromatic number of a plane is bounded above by 7 and below by 4 The Golomb graph, Solomon W. Golomb's ten-vertex four-chromatic unit distance graph. In geometric graph theory, the Hadwiger–Nelson problem, named after ...
The Helmholtz decomposition in three dimensions was first described in 1849 [9] by George Gabriel Stokes for a theory of diffraction. Hermann von Helmholtz published his paper on some hydrodynamic basic equations in 1858, [10] [11] which was part of his research on the Helmholtz's theorems describing the motion of fluid in the vicinity of vortex lines.

Erdős on Graphs: His Legacy of Unsolved Problems is a book on unsolved problems in mathematics collected by Paul Erdős in the area of graph theory. It was written by Fan Chung and Ronald Graham, based on a 1997 survey paper by Chung, [1] and published in 1998 by A K Peters. A softcover edition with some updates and corrections followed in 1999.
Locally finite graphs, which are graphs where every vertex has finite degree. The question of reconstructibility for locally finite infinite trees (the Harary-Schwenk-Scott conjecture from 1972) was a longstanding open problem until 2017, when a non-reconstructible tree of maximum degree 3 was found by Bowler et al. [18]
In graph theory, a minimum cut or min-cut of a graph is a cut (a partition of the vertices of a graph into two disjoint subsets) that is minimal in some metric. Variations of the minimum cut problem consider weighted graphs, directed graphs, terminals, and partitioning the vertices into more than two sets.
