In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
We investigate the following problem: Given two embeddings G_1 and G_2 of the same abstract graph G on an orientable surface S, decide whether G_1 and G_2 are isotopic; in other words, whether there exists a continuous family of embeddings…
The graph bisection problem is the problem of partitioning the vertex set of a graph into two sets of given sizes such that the sum of weights of edges joining these two sets is optimized. We present a semidefinite programming relaxation…
We claimed that there is a polynomial algorithm to test if two graphs are isomorphic. But the algorithm is wrong. It only tests if the adjacency matrices of two graphs have the same eigenvalues. There is a counterexample of two…
We consider the following two algorithmic problems: given a graph $G$ and a subgraph $H\subseteq G$, decide whether $H$ is an isometric or a geodesically convex subgraph of $G$. It is relatively easy to see that the problems can be solved…
We describe algorithms based on invariant theory to solve problems on the geometry of curves, mainly those of genus 2, 3 and 4. New theoretical results building on the first author's PhD thesis are also included.
The metric dimension of non-component graph, associated to a finite vector space, is determined. It is proved that the exchange property holds for resolving sets of the graph, except a special case. Some results are also related to an…
It is well-known that the graph isomorphism problem can be posed as an equivalent problem of determining whether an auxiliary graph structure contains a clique of specific order. However, the algorithms that have been developed so far for…
In this paper we formulate and study the problem of representing groups on graphs. We show that with respect to polynomial time turing reducibility, both abelian and solvable group representability are all equivalent to graph isomorphism,…
Let $G$ be a finite insoluble group with soluble radical $ R(G)$. The solubility graph $\Gamma_{\rm S}(G)$ of $G$ is a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of $G\setminus R(G) $ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if…
This work studies certain aspects of graphs embedded on surfaces. Initially, a colored graph model for a map of a graph on a surface is developed. Then, a concept analogous to (and extending) planar graph is introduced in the same spirit as…
The edge isoperimetric problem for a graph $G$ is to determine, for each $n$, the minimum number of edges leaving any set of $n$ vertices. In general this problem is NP-hard, but exact solutions are known in some special cases, for example…
We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…
We introduce two novel evolutionary formulations of the problem of coloring the nodes of a graph. The first formulation is based on the relationship that exists between a graph's chromatic number and its acyclic orientations. It views such…
We show that a nontrivial graph isomorphism problem of two undirected graphs, and more generally, the permutation similarity of two given $n\times n$ matrices, is equivalent to equalities of volumes of the induced three convex bounded…
The presented work focuses on problems from determinant theory, set theory and topology. The term graph is the binding element that connects these problems. Graphs are distinguished by their geometrical simplicity, which helps in showing…
In this paper, we introduce a graph matching method that can account for constraints of arbitrary order, with arbitrary potential functions. Unlike previous decomposition approaches that rely on the graph structures, we introduce a…
A message-passing procedure for solving the graph isomorphism problem is proposed. The procedure resembles the belief-propagation algorithm in the context of graphical models inference and LDPC decoding. To enable the algorithm, the input…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected finite graph. We study a system of non-Abelian multiple vortex equations on $G$. We established a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the non-Abelian multiple…
Fractional graph isomorphism is the linear relaxation of an integer programming formulation of graph isomorphism. It preserves some invariants of graphs, like degree sequences and equitable partitions, but it does not preserve others like…
