We determine new upper bounds for the clique numbers of strongly regular graphs in terms of their parameters. These bounds improve on the Delsarte bound for infinitely many feasible parameter tuples for strongly regular graphs, including…
We exhibit infinitely many examples of edge-regular graphs that have regular cliques and that are not strongly regular. This answers a question of Neumaier from 1981.
Dallard, Milani\v{c}, and \v{S}torgel conjectured that for a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$, if there is some function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ such that every graph $G\in \mathcal{G}$ with clique number $\omega(G)$ has treewidth…
In this paper we prove the conjectured upper bound for Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals posed in [23], in the case of chordal graphs. Indeed, we show that the regularity of any chordal graph G is bounded above by the…
The indeque number of a graph is largest set of vertices that induce an independent set of cliques. We study the extremal value of this parameter for the class and subclasses of planar graphs, most notably for forests and graphs of…
We show the application of permutation-invariant quantum circuits to the clique problem. The experiment asks to label a clique through identification of the nodes in a larger subgraph. The permutation-invariant quantum circuit outperforms a…
We prove that for every $t\in \mathbb{N}$ there is a constant $\gamma_t$ such that every graph with twin-width at most $t$ and clique number $\omega$ has chromatic number bounded by $2^{\gamma_t \log^{4t+3} \omega}$. In other words, we…
It is known that any planar graph with diameter D has treewidth O(D), and this fact has been used as the basis for several planar graph algorithms. We investigate the extent to which similar relations hold in other graph families. We show…
We introduce the notion of delineation. A graph class $\mathcal C$ is said delineated if for every hereditary closure $\mathcal D$ of a subclass of $\mathcal C$, it holds that $\mathcal D$ has bounded twin-width if and only if $\mathcal D$…
A statistical network model with overlapping communities can be generated as a superposition of mutually independent random graphs of varying size. The model is parameterized by the number of nodes, the number of communities, and the joint…
Gurski and Wanke showed that a graph class C has bounded tree-width if and only if its associated class of directed line graphs has bounded clique-width. Inevitably -- asking whether this relationship lifts to directed graphs -- we…
Multiple interval graphs are variants of interval graphs where instead of a single interval, each vertex is assigned a set of intervals on the real line. We study the complexity of the MAXIMUM CLIQUE problem in several classes of multiple…
We study cliques in graphs arising from quadratic forms where the vertices are the elements of the module of the quadratic form and two vertices are adjacent if their difference represents some fixed scalar. We determine structural…
A graph is $k$-clique-extendible if there is an ordering of the vertices such that whenever two $k$-sized overlapping cliques $A$ and $B$ have $k-1$ common vertices, and these common vertices appear between the two vertices $a,b\in…
We study the VC-dimension of the set system on the vertex set of some graph which is induced by the family of its $k$-connected subgraphs. In particular, we give tight upper and lower bounds for the VC-dimension. Moreover, we show that…
A graph $H$ is an induced subgraph of a graph $G$ if a graph isomorphic to $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by deleting vertices. Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the unavoidable induced subgraphs for graphs of…
In this paper we introduce the linear clique-width, linear NLC-width, neighbourhood-width, and linear rank-width for directed graphs. We compare these parameters with each other as well as with the previously defined parameters directed…
The ordinary generating function of the number of complete subgraphs (cliques) of $G$, denoted by $C(G,x)$, is called the The clique polynomial of the graph $G$. In this paper, we first introduce some \emph{clique} incidence matrices…
Given an integer $k$, deciding whether a graph has a clique of size $k$ is an NP-complete problem. Wilf's inequality provides a spectral bound for the clique number of simple graphs. Wilf's inequality is stated as follows: $\frac{n}{n -…
An (m,n)-colored mixed graph, or simply, an (m,n)-graph is a graph having m different types of arcs and n different types of edges. A homomorphism of an (m,n)-graph G to another (m,n)-graph H is a vertex mapping that preserves adjacency,…
