We present quantum algorithms for various problems related to graph connectivity. We give simple and query-optimal algorithms for cycle detection and odd-length cycle detection (bipartiteness) using a reduction to st-connectivity.…
Graph clustering is an important algorithmic technique for analysing massive graphs, and has been widely applied in many research fields of data science. While the objective of most graph clustering algorithms is to find a vertex set of low…

We consider the problem of detecting a cycle in a directed graph that grows by arc insertions, and the related problems of maintaining a topological order and the strong components of such a graph. For these problems, we give two…
Graph association rule mining is a data mining technique used for discovering regularities in graph data. In this study, we propose a novel concept, {\it path association rule mining}, to discover the correlations of path patterns that…

Finding Hamitonian Cycles in square grid graphs is a well studied and important questions. More recent work has extended these results to triangular and hexagonal grids, as well as further restricted versions. In this paper, we examine a…
An odd hole in a graph is a induced cycle with odd length greater than 3. In an earlier paper (with Sophie Spirkl), solving a longstanding open problem, we gave a polynomial-time algorithm to test if a graph has an odd hole. We subsequently…
A chordless cycle (induced cycle) $C$ of a graph is a cycle without any chord, meaning that there is no edge outside the cycle connecting two vertices of the cycle. A chordless path is defined similarly. In this paper, we consider the…
In this note we prove that every closed graph $G$ is up to isomorphism a proper interval graph. As a consequence we obtain that there exist linear-time algorithms for closed graph recognition.
In the \emph{incremental cycle detection} problem arcs are added to a directed acyclic graph and the algorithm has to report if the new arc closes a cycle. One seeks to minimize the total time to process the entire sequence of arc…
We consider the NP-complete problem of tracking paths in a graph, first introduced by Banik et. al. [3]. Given an undirected graph with a source $s$ and a destination $t$, find the smallest subset of vertices whose intersection with any…
Techniques for the evaluation of complex polynomials with one and two variables are introduced. Polynomials arise in may areas such as control systems, image and signal processing, coding theory, electrical networks, etc., and their…
The $k$-th power of the adjacency matrix of a simple undirected graph represents the number of walks with length $k$ between pairs of nodes. As a walk where no node repeats, a path is a walk where each node is only visited once. The set of…
We present an algorithm to solve a system of diagonal polynomial equations over finite fields when the number of variables is greater than some fixed polynomial of the number of equations whose degree depends only on the degree of the…
A graph is an opposition graph, respectively, a coalition graph, if it admits an acyclic orientation which puts the two end-edges of every chordless 4-vertex path in opposition, respectively, in the same direction. Opposition and coalition…
A new algorithm for exactly sampling from the set of proper colorings of a graph is presented. This is the first such algorithm that has an expected running time that is guaranteed to be linear in the size of a graph with maximum degree \(…
Graph searching is one of the simplest and most widely used tools in graph algorithms. Every graph search method is defined using some particular selection rule, and the analysis of the corresponding vertex orderings can aid greatly in…
It is known that a graph isomorphism testing algorithm is polynomially equivalent to a detecting of a graph non-trivial automorphism algorithm. The polynomiality of the latter algorithm, is obtained by consideration of symmetry properties…
We devise an algorithm that approximately computes the number of paths of length $k$ in a given directed graph with $n$ vertices up to a multiplicative error of $1 \pm \varepsilon$. Our algorithm runs in time $\varepsilon^{-2} 4^k(n+m)…
