Algebraic properties of chromatic polynomials, 2
My paper with Kerri Morgan on algebraic properties of chromatic roots (described here) has just appeared in the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics: you can find it here. I won’t say any more about it, except to pose a challenge which … Continue reading

Algebraic properties of chromatic roots
It has been a long time coming. I wrote back in 2011 about the work Kerri Morgan and I were doing on algebraic properties of chromatic roots. A paper has just gone on the arXiv. I will just recap here, … Continue reading
Advanced Combinatorics: the St Andrews lectures
Three years ago, when I joined the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews, it was suggested that I might like to give a final year MMath module on “Advanced Combinatorics”. No compulsion. Well, of course … Continue reading
