Abstract: The minimum rank problem for a (simple) graph $G$ is to determine the smallest possible rank over all real symmetric matrices whose $ij$th entry (for $ieqj$) is nonzero whenever $i,j$ is an edge in $G$ and is zero otherwise. This paper surveys the many developments on the (standard) minimum rank problem and its variants since the survey paper cite{FH}. In particular, positive semidefinite minimum rank, zero forcing parameters, and minimum rank problems for patterns are discussed.
