… Zoekresultaten As it turns out, Dutch windmills are not just national icons. They also hold a unique position in the mathematical landscape. “I find mathematics extremely challenging and intensely creative.” Partial ID Although eigenvalues don’t hold all the keys, they do contain important structural information about the graph they represent. For example, the number of eigenvalues corresponds to the … five nodes, they are clearly different. The center node of the left graph has no connections, while the center node of the right graph is connected to every other node. However, their eigenvalues - the row of numbers on the bottom - are the same. Mathematical landmarks So far so good – back to the windmill. Abiad: “Dutch windmills have their own graph. It’s obvious to see why the graph has that name. But this graph is actually quite special, since it is completely recognizable* from its …
