We will review some of the major results in random graphs and some of the more challenging open problems. We will cover algorithmic and structural questions. We will touch on newer models, including those related to the WWW.

Random graphs

Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics that takes inspiration from the self-organized behaviors of social animals. Through simple rules and local interactions, swarm robotics aims at designing robust, scalable, and flexible collective behaviors for the coordination of large numbers of robots. In this paper, we analyze the literature from the point of view of swarm engineering: we focus mainly on ideas and concepts that contribute to the advancement of swarm robotics as an engineering field and that could be relevant to tackle real-world applications. Swarm engineering is an emerging discipline that aims at defining systematic and well founded procedures for modeling, designing, realizing, verifying, validating, operating, and maintaining a swarm robotics system. We propose two taxonomies: in the first taxonomy, we classify works that deal with design and analysis methods; in the second taxonomy, we classify works according to the collective behavior studied. We conclude with a discussion of the current limits of swarm robotics as an engineering discipline and with suggestions for future research directions.

Graph Coloring Problems

: Significant progress has been made with solution of location problems and in preprocessing and decomposition for discrete optimization. There has also been research on the application of techniques from combinational optimization to nonlinear problems.

Group connectivity in line graphs

On 3-edge-connected supereulerian graphs in graph family C (l,k)

Unique graph homomorphisms onto odd cycles, II

Multigraphic degree sequences and supereulerian graphs, disjoint spanning trees

A graph G is supereulerian if G has a spanning eulerian subgraph. Boesch et al. [J. Graph Theory, 1, 79–84 (1977)] proposed the problem of characterizing supereulerian graphs. In this paper, we prove that any 3-edge-connected graph with at most 11 edge-cuts of size 3 is supereulerian if and only if it cannot be contractible to the Petersen graph. This extends a former result of Catlin and Lai [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B, 66, 123–139 (1996)].
