Ebadollah S. Mahmoodian (born 18 May 1943 in Zanjan, Iran) is a retired professor of mathematics at the Mathematical Sciences Department of Sharif University of Technology. [1]

Contents

He received his Bachelor of Science in 1965 at University of Tehran and his master's degree in 1968 at Shiraz University. He got a Master's and a PhD degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971 and 1975, respectively. His thesis advisor were Albert Nijenhuis and Herbert Wilf. He was a professor of mathematics at the Mathematical Sciences Department of Sharif University of Technology since 1983. [1] [2] He co-edited Combinatorics Advances. [3]

Mahmoodian has contributions in graph theory, in particular graph colouring. [4] He has also worked on combinatorial designs, in particular, defining sets, and the relations between all those areas. [5] Mahmoodian is also known for mentoring and research collaborations with Maryam Mirzakhani during her studies at Sharif University.

Mehdi Behzad is an Iranian mathematician specializing in graph theory. He introduced his total coloring theory during his Ph.D. studies in 1965. Despite the active work during the last 50 years this conjecture remains as challenging as it is open. In fact, Behzad's conjecture now belongs to mathematics’ classic open problems.

A Euclidean graph is periodic if there exists a basis of that Euclidean space whose corresponding translations induce symmetries of that graph. Equivalently, a periodic Euclidean graph is a periodic realization of an abelian covering graph over a finite graph. A Euclidean graph is uniformly discrete if there is a minimal distance between any two vertices. Periodic graphs are closely related to tessellations of space and the geometry of their symmetry groups, hence to geometric group theory, as well as to discrete geometry and the theory of polytopes, and similar areas.
