Raphael "Raphy" Yuster (Hebrew: רפאל יוסטר) is an Israeli mathematician specializing in combinatorics and graph theory. He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Haifa. He is a recipient of the Nerode Prize for his work on color-coding,[1][A] and is also known for the Alon–Yuster conjecture relating the chromatic numbers of graphs to the number of disjoint copies of a smaller graph that can be found in a larger one, later proven by János Komlós, Gábor N. Sárközy, and Endre Szemerédi.[2][B]

Education and career

[edit | edit source]

Yuster was a student at Tel Aviv University, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1989, a master's degree in 1991, and a Ph.D. in 1995.[3] His doctoral dissertation, Non Constructive Graph Theoretic Proofs and Their Algorithmic Aspects, was supervised by Noga Alon.[4]

He has been a faculty member at the University of Haifa since 2004.[5]

Recognition

[edit | edit source]

With Noga Alon and Uri Zwick, Yuster was a recipient of the 2019 Nerode Prize, given for their work on color coding, an application of the probabilistic method to subgraph isomorphism.[1][A]

His work with Zwick on sparse matrix multiplication received the 2023 European Symposium on Algorithms Test-of-Time Award.[6][C]
