Findings
MCS algorithms can generate graphs in minutes
Counter-examples to spectral graph conjectures are found using MCS
The approach is efficient and effective for testing conjectures
Abstract
We demonstrate how Monte Carlo Search (MCS) algorithms, namely Nested Monte Carlo Search (NMCS) and Nested Rollout Policy Adaptation (NRPA), can be used to build graphs and find counter-examples to spectral graph theory conjectures in minutes.
