ScienceA proof links graph theory and the Fourier transform
Quanta Magazine reports an advance on a decades-old problem about waves, as mathematicians work to understand the Fourier transform’s fundamental properties.
TLDR
Quanta Magazine reports that a proof reveals a surprising link between graph theory and the Fourier transform. What it could make possible remains uncertain. The magazine quotes Tom Sanders of the University of Oxford: “It’s not clear ahead of time what this is going to open up.”
