Declining or Waning
- Classical Graph Theory:
While still relevant, traditional topics in graph theory such as basic connectivity and classical properties have seen reduced attention as new, more complex graph structures and properties gain traction. - Elementary Combinatorial Identities:
Research focused on basic counting principles and elementary identities appears to be waning, potentially overshadowed by more sophisticated algebraic approaches and computational techniques. - Basic Combinatorial Geometry:
Studies in classical combinatorial geometry, such as those concerning simple geometric configurations and arrangements, are less frequently published as the focus shifts to more abstract and higher-dimensional settings. - Standard Partitions and Simple Sequence Problems:
There is a noticeable decline in papers addressing standard partition theory and basic sequence problems, as researchers increasingly explore more complex and generalized forms of these topics.
