That is, I almost have a paper on graph coloring, because while I have
everything worked out as far as I can tell, I have no idea how to put
it together in order to submit it for publication.
What I need now is probably someone who has actually published
something on graph theory and is willing to coauthor this paper with
me.
If you "have everything worked out", then the paper is written, and it has
one author -- you. It would be inappropriate of anyone else to claim to be
"author" of a paper to which he or she has not contributed scientific ideas.
Yes, I know it happens all the time. But in mathematics the practice is
mostly frowned upon and (hence) not all that common. Most common
exceptions probably involve thesis advisors who "practically wrote that
paper themselves", but I'll bet it's at least as oommon for an advisor
(and true coauthor) to insist on NOT taking published credit for the
paper, so as to help out his or her student professionally.
To the OP: find a journal in which comparable papers have appeared.
(You _have_ started reading papers before trying to publish one, right?)
In the front matter or endmatter of the journal you will find instructions
to authors, telling you what to do with your magnum opus. It's common
to take the paper on the road, so to speak, delivering a summary of it
in a seminar talk somewhere; at such an occasion you will get helpful
feedback, and can ask someone for assistance.
You can also "publish" your paper at arXiv.org .
You (the OP) should write up the paper in TeX (or LaTeX), which are
typesetting languages suitable for mathematical expressions. If you are
working independently and using Windows, you can use MiKTeX (
http://www.miktex.org/ ) or some similar program.
You didn't state what your graph-coloring result is. (If it's the Four
Color Theorem, you won't find many takers.) Is it new? Have you
searched the literature for your result?
Chris: Tell Matt why he won't find many takers?
He already knew that when he posted.
Usenet Rule #37 (Faisal Nameer Jawdat): Read the thread from the
beginning, or else.
I have my own ideas and
none are flattering to the mathematical community!
Because there are enough details that allow a refutation. Matt has yet
to provide full details, so I can't *yet* pinpoint the location of any
error that may exist there.
