      Methods of Algebraic Topology in Graph Theory

      IntroductionCurrently the problem of transferring results of algebraic topology to discrete objects and, in particular, to various categories of digraphs and graphs, is widely investigated. The main technical tools are given by the homotopy theory and various homology theories. We present the basic methods of algebraic topology in graph theory and describe relations between continious and discr...
