Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students understand advanced graph theoretic methods to model and solve combinatorial problems and see their applications. They understand the structures of different graph classes and use this to construct efficient procedures. They can analyze the algorithms and apply them to solve practical problems. In addition, they can critically assess the possibilities and limitations of the use of these algorithms. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to reproduce and explain them. In particular, they can outline the conditions and assumptions that are necessary for the validity of the statements.

By solving the given exercise problems, they have gained a precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and methods of the lecture. In addition, they have learnt to apply the methods to new problems, analyze them and develop solution strategies independently or ba team work.
