A reference on graph classes, containing a survey of some 200 classes of graphs. Information is organized by types of properties used to define and characterize classes, with key theorems and literature references cited for each class. Emphasis is on the algorithmic point of view. Results are stated without proof, providing readers with easy access to far more key theorems than are commonly found in other mathematical texts. Interconnections between graph classes are also provided. For anyone who works with special classes of graphs in understanding, refereeing, and writing mathematical papers. Annotation c.
