Good Books or Free Resources for Geometric Graph Theory

In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of Geometric Graph Theory and the speaker's search for more comprehensive resources. They mention finding some Wikipedia articles and lecture notes, but are looking for a book or website for a more complete understanding. The other person suggests checking out Diestel's website, which the speaker is already familiar with.

I've been doing some light reading on Geometric Graph Theory, and it seem interesting to me. However, at the moment I've only managed to find a few Wikipedia articles and one .PDF of lecture notes.

I'm looking for something which is more complete, such as a book or a website for example. Please bear in mind, I'm a student and don't have much money.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know about "geometric" graph theory, but are you aware of Diestel?

I learned everything I know about graph theory from it long ago. He seems not to have the full version of the book available anymore, but it's probably most of it. I haven't looked at it recently.

I've already got that book, but thanks for replying :wink:
 

1. What is geometric graph theory?

Geometric graph theory is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties and applications of graphs that are embedded in a geometric space, such as the plane or higher-dimensional spaces.

2. What makes a good book or resource for learning about geometric graph theory?

A good book or resource for learning about geometric graph theory should provide clear explanations, relevant examples, and exercises for practice. It should also cover a wide range of topics and applications in the field.

3. Are there any free resources available for learning about geometric graph theory?

Yes, there are several free resources available for learning about geometric graph theory, such as online lectures, video tutorials, and open-access textbooks. These resources can be found through a simple internet search.

4. What are some recommended books for studying geometric graph theory?

Some recommended books for studying geometric graph theory include "Geometric Graph Theory" by János Pach and Pankaj K. Agarwal, "Graph Theory and Its Applications" by Jonathan L. Gross and Jay Yellen, and "Introduction to Graph Theory" by Douglas B. West.

5. How can I apply geometric graph theory in my research or work?

Geometric graph theory has various applications in fields such as computer science, engineering, and physics.
