Gabriel Andrew Dirac
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriel Andrew Dirac (March 13, 1925 – July 20, 1984) was a mathematician who mainly worked in graph theory. He stated a sufficient condition for a graph to contain a Hamiltonian circuit.
Dirac received his Ph.D. in 1952 from the University of London.[1]
Dirac was professor of mathematics in the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and was also Erasmus Smith's Professor of Mathematics (1962) at Trinity College Dublin in the mid-1960s. He was the stepson of Paul Dirac and nephew of Eugene Wigner.
