Václav Chvátal-Research-Chvátal first learned of graph theory in 1964, on finding a book by Claude Berge in a Pilsen bookstore and much of his research involves graph theory: His first mathematical publication, at the age of 19, concerned directed graphs that cannot be mapped to themselves by any nontrivial graph homom...

Václav Chvátal-Research-A 1972 paper relating Hamiltonian cycles to connectivity and maximum independent set size of a graph, earned Chvátal his Erdős number of 1. Specifically, if there exists an s such that a given graph is s-vertex-connected and has no (s + 1)-vertex independent set, the graph must be Hamiltonian. A...

Václav Chvátal-Research-In a 1972 conjecture that Erdős called "surprising" and "beautiful", and that remains open (with a $10 prize offered by Chvátal for its solution) he suggested that, in any family of sets closed under the operation of taking subsets, the largest pairwise-intersecting subfamily may always be found...

Václav Chvátal-Research-In 1979, he studied a weighted version of the set cover problem, and proved that a greedy algorithm provides good approximations to the optimal solution, generalizing previous unweighted results by David S. Johnson (J. Comp. Sys. Sci. 1974) and László Lovász (Discrete Math. 1975).Chvátal first b...
