I was wondering how can I learn how to model problems using some classical models in graph theory (graph coloring, vertex cover, matching, maximum cliques, independent sets and so on)
For example, I want to learn how to model the following problems :



  1. Can we "cut" without lifting the pencil every edge in the following figure. We must pass once and only once through each edge ? (Hint : use a graph model) FIG 1


  2. Mr. Dupont wants to rent his apartment for a given period. She received several offers. Every proposition has a price and a period. Model this problem using a graph structure.


  3. Chess : How to place 8 queens on a chess board so that no two queens threaten each other? How many queens do we need so that they control all of the squares? Can a knight run throw all of the squares while passing from each square once and only once?


  4. Schedule : Assume we have $k$ teams ($k$ is an even number). Each team must play with each other team twice ( $2 times (k-1) = 2k-2$ parties)
    How to determine a valid affectation (using a graph-based model).
    How to modify the problem to respect the following constraint : Some parties cannot occur simultaneously**


  5. Frequencies : A phone operator wants to dynamically allocate frequencies to users.
    If two users are using the same frequency in the same zone, we could have some technical issues.
    How to allocate frequencies in a way such that a third user cannot be in the same zone as two users with the same frequency. We want to minimize the number of frequencies used.
    We assume that users don't move.


N.B: I am not looking for answers to those questions, I am looking for references(books/ online courses; lecture notes etc.) that can teach me how to model similar problems using graph structures and classic models

    I would say that these problems are classic and well-studied, so almost every good book on graph theory would be appropriate. Personally, I recommend you two books: "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen for studying algorithms on graphs and Graph theory by F. Harary for non-algorithmic part of graph theory.
