Incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge from graph theory, information theory, measurement theory, and statistical techniques, it covers a wide range of quantitative graph-theoretical concepts and methods, including those pertaining to random graphs. Through its broad coverage, the book fills a gap in the contemporary literature of discrete and applied mathematics, computer science, systems biology, and related disciplines ER -
