U.S.R.Murty (1996)

Uppaluri Siva Ramachandra Murty,[1][2] (23 December 1940 – 13 May 2025) was a professor of the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.[3][4]

U. S. R. Murty received his Ph.D. in 1967 from the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, with a thesis on extremal graph theory;[5] his advisor was C. R. Rao.[6] Murty is well known for his work in matroid theory and graph theory, and mainly for being a co-author with J. A. Bondy of a textbook on graph theory. Murty has served as a managing editor and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B.[7] He died in Toronto, Ontario on 13 May 2025.[8][9]
