The first book devoted exclusively to quantitative graph theory, Quantitative Graph Theory: Mathematical Foundations and Applications presents and demonstrates existing and novel methods for analyzing graphs quantitatively. Incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge from graph theory, information theory, measurement theory, and statistical techniques, this book covers a wide range of quantitative-graph theoretical concepts and methods, including those pertaining to real and random graphs such as:

Comparative approaches (graph similarity or distance)

Graph measures to characterize graphs quantitatively

Applications of graph measures in social network analysis and other disciplines

Metrical properties of graphs and measures

Mathematical properties of quantitative methods or measures in graph theory

Network complexity measures and other topological indices

Quantitative approaches to graphs using machine learning (e.g., clustering)

Graph measures and statistics

Information-theoretic methods to analyze graphs quantitatively (e.g., entropy)

Through its broad coverage, Quantitative Graph Theory: Mathematical Foundations and Applications fills a gap in the contemporary literature of discrete and applied mathematics, computer science, systems biology, and related disciplines. It is intended for researchers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of mathematics, computer science, mathematical chemistry, cheminformatics, physics, bioinformatics, and systems biology.

Matthias Dehmer studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Siegen, Germany, and earned his Ph.D in computer science from the Darmstadt University of Technology. He held research positions at the University of Rostock (Germany), Vienna Bio Center (Austria), Vienna Technical University (Austria), and University of Coimbra (Portugal), and obtained his habilitation in applied discrete mathematics from the Vienna University of Technology. His research focuses on investigating network-based methods in the context of systems biology, structural graph theory, operations research, and information theory. He has over 180 peer-reviewed publications, is an editor of a book series and a member of multiple editorial boards, and has co/organized several scientific conferences. Frank Emmert-Streib studied physics at the University of Siegen, Germany, and earned his Ph.D in theoretical physics from the University of Bremen. After postdoc positions in the United States, he joined the Center for Cancer Research and Cell Biology at the Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom), where he is currently an associate professor (senior lecturer) leading the Computational Biology and Machine Learning Laboratory. His research interests are in the fields of computational biology, biostatistics, and network medicine and are focused on the development and application of methods from statistics and machine learning for the analysis of high-dimensional data from genomics experiments.
