Graph Theory and Additive Combinatorics
Exploring Structure and Randomness

'This impeccable book should quickly become a classic text in discrete maths. A huge selection of topics is treated elegantly, with beautiful illustrations, and in just the `right' amount of detail to arouse the interest of the reader and leave them well placed to find out more. In particular, the second half of the book is a superb introduction to additive combinatorics, which I will happily recommend to any student in this area.' Ben Green, Oxford University

'This charming text gives an accessible introduction to the connected topics of extremal graph theory and modern additive combinatorics. The focus is very strongly on presenting intuition and restricting attention to the simplest possible instances of methods or classes of results, rather than aiming for maximal generality or the strongest statements; instead, references are given for further reading, or for the proofs of important theorems that are only stated here. Being highly suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students, it fills a niche that is currently not occupied by other texts in these highly active areas of current mathematical research.' Terry Tao, University of California, Los Angeles

'A valuable and readable unified treatment of a fast-moving area of combinatorics from one of the world's experts - sure to become a standard resource.' Jordan Ellenberg, University of Wisconsin-Madison

'Yufei Zhao's book is a wonderful book about graph theory, additive combinatorics, and their surprising connections, involving a major theme of modern mathematics: the interplay between structure and randomness. In both areas, the book can take the curious reader, whether an advanced undergraduate or a professional mathematician, on a joyous journey from the very basics to state-of-the-art research. Yufei Zhao himself is a major player in modern research in both these areas and his presentation is a tour de force.' Gil Kalai, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Reichman University

'This is a beautiful treatment of extremal graph theory and additive combinatorics, focusing on the fruitful interplay between the two. The book covers the classical results as well as recent developments in this active area. It is a fascinating manuscript that would appeal to students and researchers with an interest in discrete mathematics, theoretical computer number theory, and related areas.' Noga Alon, Princeton University

'This is a wonderful, well-written account of additive combinatorics from the graph theoretic perspective. Zhao skillfully ties in this approach to the usual statements and gives a thorough development of the subject. This book is indispensable for any serious researcher in this area. Beginners will find a thorough account of the subject with plenty of motivation. The more experienced reader will appreciate the authors' insights and elegant development of some difficult ideas.' Andrew Granville, University of Montréal
