Definition
Rosa M. Miró‑Roig is a Spanish mathematician and academic researcher known for her contributions to graph theory, combinatorial optimization, and discrete mathematics.
Overview
Miró‑Roig holds a professorial position in the Department of Mathematics at the University of the Balearic Islands (Universitat d'Illes Balears, UIB) in Spain. Her research focuses on domination theory in graphs, graph labeling, and the study of graph invariants. She has published numerous peer‑reviewed articles in international journals, contributed chapters to edited volumes, and authored several monographs on domination in graphs and related topics. In addition to her research activities, Miró‑Roig has supervised doctoral theses and participated in organizing conferences and workshops in the field of discrete mathematics.
Etymology/Origin
The surname “Miró‑Roig” combines two Catalan family names: “Miró,” derived from the given name “Miro” (itself originating from the Latin mirare, meaning “to admire” or “to wonder”), and “Roig,” meaning “red” in Catalan. The use of the initial “M.” typically denotes a middle name, though the full middle name is not widely documented in public sources.
