Declining or Waning
- Classical Graph Theory:
Topics centered on traditional aspects of graph theory, such as basic graph properties and simpler algorithms, have seen a decline as more complex and applied theories gain prominence. - Elementary Combinatorial Results:
Basic combinatorial results and theorems that do not involve advanced techniques or applications are becoming less frequent, reflecting a trend toward more sophisticated and applicable research. - Static Optimization Problems:
Research focused on static or single-objective optimization problems is less common, as the trend shifts towards dynamic, multi-objective, and real-time optimization approaches.
