I think that implementing combinatorial algorithms to meet needs like Paul's and
Herve's below would make a good addition to [math]. Starting with clean room
implementations of algorithms to meet specific practical needs would be a better way
to go than translating or porting existing libraries, IMHO.
Can you guys provide a little more detail on what your application needs are?

Subject: Re: [math] Graph theory
I've always thought something similar to the boost graph library
(http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/index.html) would be useful. Now that
Java has generics as well it might be an easier first-cut translation...
