Abstract: Algorithmic Graph Theory and Perfect Graphs, first published in 1980, has become the classic introduction to the field. This new Annals edition continues to convey the message that intersection graph models are a necessary and important tool for solving real-world problems. It remains a stepping stone from which the reader may embark on one of many fascinating research trails. The past twenty years have been an amazingly fruitful period of research in algorithmic graph theory and structured families of graphs. Especially important have been the theory and applications of new intersection graph models such as generalizations of permutation graphs and interval graphs. These have lead to new families of perfect graphs and many algorithmic results. These are surveyed in the new Epilogue chapter in this second edition. New edition of the "Classic" book on the topic Wonderful introduction to a rich research area Leading author in the field of algorithmic graph theory Beautifully written for the new mathematician or computer scientist Comprehensive treatment
TL;DR: In a beautiful but unpublished thesis written in 1972, Patton as discussed by the authors proved the corresponding results for all the groups SL(n, q), as well as for Sp(2m, q) with 2 odd.
TL;DR: The Romberg integration algorithm has been used with great success by many groups [1, 2], and appears to be among the most generally reliable quadrature methods available.

The procedure random is supposed to supply a random element from a large population of real numbers uniformly distributed over the open unit interval 0 < r < 1. The array a is declared to be integer but actually it suffices for its type to agree with that of the variable b (in the procedure body); integer i, j; real b; for i := n step-1 until 2 do begin 3" := entier (i X random-~ 1); b := a[i]; a[i] := a~']; a[]] := b end loop i end SHUFFLE Note. Numbers in brackets following Algorithm titles indicate the subject category for the algorithm, based on the Modified SHARE Classification listing given in the 1Viarch, 1964 issue of the Communications of the ACM. The Romberg integration algorithm has been used with great success by many groups [1, 2], and appears to be among the most generally reliable quadrature methods available. It is, therefore, worth pointing out that it is not entirely foolproof, and that a significant class of integrands exists for which the extrapolated values are poorer estimates of the integral than the corresponding trapezoidal sums. The validity of the Romberg procedure depends upon the possibility of expanding the error of the trapezoidal rule in powers of h 2, where h is the stepsize. One expansion of this type is the Euler-Maclaurin sum formula. An alternative expression may be obtained from the Fourier series expansion. The coefficients of h 2" …
