How People Read Graphs

The graph layout problem has long been a major concern for effectiveness of conveying information. To propose user-centred aesthetic criteria for a “good” layout, it is important to have knowledge on how people read graphs; how a particular graph layout characteristic can affect people’s reading performance. On the other hand, despite the increasingly wide use of graphs in everyday life, yet we...

How to Read the Decomposition Matrices

For a fixed characteristic p and a fixed simple group G, various bicyclic extensions m.G.a may occur, where G.a is a subgroup of the automorphism group of G and m is a cyclic factor of the Schur multiplier of G.a. For each such group G.a, the information about all bicyclic extensions m.G.a that occur in the ATLAS of Finite Groups is shown together in one document. Each file starts with the name...
