Author Description

This book provides an introduction to the inverse eigenvalue problem for graphs (IEP-G) and the related area of zero forcing, propagation, and throttling. The IEP-G grew from the intersection of linear algebra and combinatorics and has given rise to both a rich set of deep problems in that area as well as a breadth of ""ancillary"" problems in related areas. The IEP-G asks a fundamental mathematical question expressed in terms of linear algebra and graph theory
