Talk. Eulerian graphs and Elizabethan embroidery
Jane Butterfield
Abstract: Blackwork embroidery was the height of fashion in 17th century England, and is popular again in this century. It also has some very interesting mathematical properties! Together we'll explore some "embroiderable" patterns, and model these patterns as a special type of Eulerian circuit through a special type of multgraph. Using this graph theory model will lead us to a remarkably simple characterization of embroiderable patterns (originally proved by Holden 2005).
No previous knowledge of embroidery or graph theory is necessary.
