Declining or Waning
- Classical Graph Coloring Problems:
Traditional coloring problems, while still relevant, appear to be receiving less emphasis compared to newer, more complex variations of graph coloring and dynamic coloring methods. - Elementary Graph Algorithms:
Basic algorithms for fundamental graph problems are becoming less frequently published, potentially overshadowed by more sophisticated approaches and applications in computational complexity. - Basic Extremal Graph Theory:
Foundational extremal graph theory topics, such as simple Turán problems, are less prominent as researchers explore more complex and nuanced variations of these problems. - Geometric Graph Theory:
Research focused on geometric aspects of graphs, such as intersection graphs and geometric representations, has seen a decrease in popularity, possibly due to a shift towards abstract combinatorial approaches.
