Fractional graph theory

the long version

Fractional Graph Theory explores the various ways in which integer-valued graph theory concepts can be modified to derive nonintegral values. Based on the authors' extensive review of the literature, it provides a unified treatment of the most important results in the study of fractional graph concepts. Supplemented with many challenging exercises in each chapter as well as an abundance of references and bibliographic material, Fractional Graph Theory is a comprehensive reference for researchers and an excellent graduate-level text for students of graph theory and linear programming.
