Flipped SO(10) is a theoretical framework in particle physics that extends the standard model of particle physics, particularly in the context of grand unified theories (GUTs). It is a variant of the SO(10) model, which is one of the simplest GUTs that unifies all of the known fundamental forces and particles by combining them under a single gauge group.
Graph drawing is a field of study in computer science and mathematics that focuses on the visualization of graphs, which are mathematical structures made up of vertices (or nodes) connected by edges. The goal of graph drawing is to represent these graphs in a visually comprehensible and aesthetically pleasing manner, using geometric layouts.
The Bron–Kerbosch algorithm is a classic recursive backtracking algorithm used to find all maximal cliques in an undirected graph. A **maximal clique** is a subset of vertices such that every two vertices in the subset are adjacent (forming a complete subgraph) and cannot be extended by including one more adjacent vertex. ### Key Concepts: - **Clique**: A subset of vertices that forms a complete graph. In a clique, every pair of vertices is connected by an edge.
The Georgi–Glashow model, proposed by Howard Georgi and Sheldon Glashow in the early 1970s, is a theoretical framework in particle physics that attempts to unify the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces into a single gauge theory. This model is one of the earliest examples of Grand Unified Theories (GUTs).
Tree-depth is a concept related to graph theory, specifically in the study of the structure of graphs. It refers to the minimum depth of a rooted tree that can represent a given graph.
Borůvka's algorithm is a greedy algorithm used to find the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) of a connected, weighted graph. Named after Czech mathematician Otakar Borůvka, the algorithm operates in the following manner: ### Steps of Borůvka's Algorithm: 1. **Initialization**: Start with each vertex in the graph as its own separate component (or tree).
The Clique Percolation Method (CPM) is a technique used in network analysis to identify and extract overlapping communities within a graph. This method is particularly useful for detecting structures that are not only connected but also share common vertices in a complex network, which is a common characteristic of many real-world networks such as social networks, biological networks, and information networks.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
