Preprints since 1995 - Douglas B. West

Additional information appears on my home page, list of abstracts (ps pdf), and publication list (ps pdf). Papers before 1995 may eventually be scanned to complete this list, if I can find or recreate the preprints (many are in groff or have obsolete tex macros).

  • Miscellaneous earlier papers

    I will add versions of some of the earlier papers as I am able to. It may be possible to make some old files still run under groff. For very old papers, I may post some scans. In particular, I occasionally receive requests for my old papers on interval number of graphs: #42,34,21,18,15,13,5. Except for #42, these are available only as pdf scans, posted below.
