An obstacle representation of a plane graph G is V(G) together with a set of opaque polygonal obstacles such that G is the visibility graph on V(G) determined by the obstacles. We investigate the problem of computing an obstacle…
Unit disk graphs are intersection graphs of circles of unit radius in the plane. We present simple and provably good heuristics for a number of classical NP-hard optimization problems on unit disk graphs. The problems considered include…
We prove that triangulated IC-planar and NIC-planar graphs can be recognized in cubic time. A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. A drawing is IC-planar if, in addition, each vertex is…
A graph G is a (Euclidean) unit disk graph if it is the intersection graph of unit disks in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Recognizing them is known to be $\exists\mathbb{R}$-complete, i.e., as hard as solving a system of polynomial…
Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…
Geometric graphs are a special kind of graph with geometric features, which are vital to model many scientific problems. Unlike generic graphs, geometric graphs often exhibit physical symmetries of translations, rotations, and reflections,…
For a connected graph $G$ and $X\subseteq V(G)$, we say that two vertices $u$, $v$ are $X$-visible if there is a shortest $u,v$-path $P$ with $V(P)\cap X \subseteq \{u,v\}$. If every two vertices from $X$ are $X$-visible, then $X$ is a…
The intersection graph of ideals associated with a commutative unitary ring $R$ is the graph $G(R)$ whose vertices all non-trivial ideals of $R$ and there exists an edge between distinct vertices if and only if the intersection of them is…
Given an ordered partition $\Pi =\{P_1,P_2, ...,P_t\}$ of the vertex set $V$ of a connected graph $G=(V,E)$, the \emph{partition representation} of a vertex $v\in V$ with respect to the partition $\Pi$ is the vector…
A graph $G$ is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG, for short) if it admits a tuple $(T,w, d_{\min},d_{\max})$ of a tree $T$ whose leaf set is equal to the vertex set of $G$, a non-negative edge weight $w$, and two non-negative reals…
We study graphs that are formed by independently-positioned needles (i.e., line segments) in the unit square. To mathematically characterize the graph structure, we derive the probability that two line segments intersect and determine…
Image Representation Learning is an important problem in Computer Vision. Traditionally, images were processed as grids, using Convolutional Neural Networks or as a sequence of visual tokens, using Vision Transformers. Recently, Vision…
Vector graphics (VG) have been ubiquitous in our daily life with vast applications in engineering, architecture, designs, etc. The VG recognition process of most existing methods is to first render the VG into raster graphics (RG) and then…
This work addresses a modification of the random geometric graph (RGG) model by considering a set of points uniformly and independently distributed on the surface of a $(d-1)$-sphere with radius $r$ in a $d-$dimensional Euclidean space,…
We study the distributional properties of horizontal visibility graphs associated with random restrictive growth sequences and random set partitions of size $n.$ Our main results are formulas expressing the expected degree of graph nodes in…
Given a plane graph $G$ (i.e., a planar graph with a fixed planar embedding) and a simple cycle $C$ in $G$ whose vertices are mapped to a convex polygon, we consider the question whether this drawing can be extended to a planar…
A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of disks of equal radii in the plane. The class of unit disk graphs is hereditary, and therefore admits a characterization in terms of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In spite of quite active…
B$_0$-VPG graphs are intersection graphs of vertical and horizontal line segments on a plane. Cohen, Golumbic, Trotter, and Wang [Order, 2016] pose the question of characterizing B$_0$-VPG permutation graphs. We respond here by…
A derangement $k$-representation of a graph $G$ is a map $\pi$ of $V(G)$ to the symmetric group $S_k$, such that for any two vertices $v$ and $u$ of $V(G)$, $v $ and $u$ are adjacent if and only if $\pi(v)(i) \neq \pi(u)(i)$ for each $i \in…
Observability of an array of identical LTI systems with incommensurable output matrices is studied, where an array is called observable when identically zero relative outputs imply synchronized solutions for the individual systems. It is…
