Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graph and hypergraph theory is one of the most rapidly evolving fields of theoretical aspects of the study of discrete structures, and its applications are widely expanded in various areas, including computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, statistical physics, and chemistry. Symmetry is a basic attribute of aesthetic appreciation. A number of different symmetric measurements for networks and graphs have been developed and analyzed, becoming an important criterion that illustrates the structure and properties of graphs. The differences are due in part to the fact that symmetry can be interpreted in different ways, e.g., by means of knot theory or the automorphism group of a graph. Recently, symmetric measurements have been applied in many disciplines. Based on vertex orbits, it has long been used to define measures of the structural complexity of graphs and hypergraphs. Algebraic graph theory is a classical field where symmetry has been investigated extensively and the role of symmetry in network aesthetics attracts much more attention. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit your original research on the theory and applications of symmetry in graph and hypergraph theory.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Graph and hypergraph;
- Networks;
- Coloring and labeling;
- Partition and cover;
- Ramsey theory;
- Caylay graph and symmetric graph;
- Extreme value problems;
- Topological indices;
- Graph algorithms;
- Algebraic tools for graphs and hypergraphs.
