Course content
1. Basic notions of graph theory: graph, subgraph, important classes of graphs, walks, trails and paths, connectivity, degree sequences. 2. Trees: characterization of trees, spanning tree and the problem of the minimal spanning tree. 3. Eulerian and Hamiltonian graphs: Eulerian graphs and their characterization, sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian graphs. 4. Graph colorings: vertex coloring, edge coloring, generalized colorings, bounds for chromatic invariants. 5. Planar graphs: Euler's formula and its consequences, Platonic solids, characterization of planar graphs, vertex coloring of planar graphs. 6. Planar graphs: Euler's formula and its consequences, Platonic solids, characterization of planar graphs, vertex coloring of planar graphs. 7. The shortest path problem in digraphs: Dijkstra's algorithm. 8. Selected problems in graph theory: matchings in bipartite graphs, extremal combinatorics, Ramsey numbers and their estimations.
