András Gyárfás
(Redirected from Andras Gyarfas)
András Gyárfás (born 1945) is a Hungarian mathematician who specializes in the study of graph theory. He is famous for two conjectures:
- Together with Paul Erdős he conjectured what is now called the Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture which states that any graph with minimum degree 3 contains a simple cycle whose length is a power of two.
- He and David Sumner independently formulated the Gyárfás–Sumner conjecture[1] according to which, for every tree T, the T-free graphs are χ-bounded.
Gyárfás began working as a researcher for the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1968. He earned a candidate degree in 1980, and a doctorate (Dr. Math. Sci.) in 1992. He won the Géza Grünwald Commemorative Prize for young researchers of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society in 1978.[2][3] He was co-author with Paul Erdős on 15 papers, and thus has Erdős number one.[4]
