Revision as of 22:44, 2 June 2017

Researchers: Max Black and Carissa Babcock

Mentor: Dr. Kim A.S. Factor

Background

Cohen, in 1968, began modeling ecosystems with competition graphs. Consequently, mathematicians began developing the theory of competition graphs. Competition graphs are, essentially, graphs

Objectives

    During this project, we will examine and explore the following:
  1. Previous research regarding competition graphs and (1,2)-step competition graphs of food webs
  2. Competition graphs and (1,2)-step competition graphs of a specific food web
    Additionally, we will further previous research by doing the following:
  1. Furthering research on (i,j)-step competition graphs by exploring new theory and computation
  2. Applying competition graphs and (i,j)-step competition graphs in new areas
    A brief overview of our goals for this 10 week process are listed below. For a complete list of our goals, click here.
