Solvability of Cubic Graphs - From Four Color Theorem to NP-Complete

Similar to Euclidean geometry, graph theory is a science that studies figures that consist of points and lines. The core of Euclidean geometry is the parallel postulate, which provides the basis of the geometric invariant that the sum of the angles in every triangle equals π and Cramer’s rule for solving simultaneous linear equations. Since the counterpart of parallel postulate in graph theory ...

  Background & Aims: Intussusception is one of the most common causes of bowel obstruction in young children ultrasonography (US) is considered a reliable method for diagnosis. The primary treatment is hydrostatic radiologic reduction, but this should never be used in children with necrotic or perforated bowel. Clinical and radiologic prediction of intestinal necrosis is difficult. Color Dopple...

Collapse results for query languages in database theory

This is a survey of collapse results obtained mainly by members of the Tver State University seminar on the theoretical foundations of computer science. Attention is focused on the relative isolation and pseudo-finite homogeneity properties and universes without the independence property. The Baldwin–Benedikt reducibility theorem is proved for these universes. The Dudakov boundedness theorem is...

On Uniform Relationships between Combinatorial Problems

The enterprise of comparing mathematical theorems according to their logical strength is an active area in mathematical logic, with one of the most common frameworks for doing so being reverse mathematics. In this setting, one investigates which theorems provably imply which others in a weak formal theory roughly corresponding to computable mathematics. Since the proofs of such implications tak...

A formal proof of the four color theorem

A formal proof has not been found for the four color theorem since 1852 when Francis Guthrie first conjectured the four color theorem. Why? A bad idea, we think, directed people to a rough road. Using a similar method to that for the formal proof of the five color theorem, a formal proof is proposed in this paper of the four color theorem, namely, every planar graph is four-colorable. The forma...
