The Journal of Graph Theory is a mathematics journal specializing in graph theory

Graph theory

In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. A "graph" in this context refers to a collection of vertices or 'nodes' and a collection of edges that connect pairs of...

 and related areas, such as other branches of combinatorics

Combinatorics

Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics concerning the study of finite or countable discrete structures. Aspects of combinatorics include counting the structures of a given kind and size , deciding when certain criteria can be met, and constructing and analyzing objects meeting the criteria ,...

 and the interaction of graph theory with other mathematical sciences. It is published by John Wiley & Sons

, such as structural results about graphs, graph algorithms with theoretical emphasis, and discrete optimization

Discrete optimization

Discrete optimization is a branch of optimization in applied mathematics and computer science.As opposed to continuous optimization, the variables used in the mathematical program are restricted to assume only discrete values, such as the integers.Two notable branches of discrete optimization...
