Books for Applied Extremal Combinatorics
The following books contain material related to the course.
I'd be interested in hearing about other useful references.
- Algebraic Graph Theory, by Norman Biggs,
- Algebraic Combinatorics, by Chriss Godsil,
- Spectral Graph Theory, by Fan R. K. Chung,
- The Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, by MacWilliams and Sloane,
- Introduction to Coding Theory, by J. H. van Lint,
- A Course in Combinatorics, by van Lint and Wilson,
- Combinatorics: Topics, Techniques, Algorithms, by P. J. Cameron,
- Spectra of Graphs: theory and application, by Cvetkovic, Doob, and
Sachs,
- Eigenspaces of Graphs, by Cvetkovic, Rowlinson, and Simic,
Less central to the course, but of interest are:
- Variational methods for eigenvalue problems, by S. H. Gould.
This is a Dover paperback!
