Aim: The main aim of this course is to present to the students some basic results and proof techniques in graph theory, in particular in connection with graph theoretic algorithms and with electrical networks.
Contents: Basic graph theory. Network flow theory which constitute the foundation of combinatorial optimization with applications in e. g. operations research. Description and complexity of algorithms (shortest paths, spanning trees of minimal weight, the Chinese Postman's problem, sorting) of interest in computer science. The mathematical foundation of electrical networks. Random walks.
