Given an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, let $T_k(G)$ denote the random vertex induced subgraph of $G$ generated by ordering $V$ according to a random permutation $\pi$ and including in $T_k(G)$ those vertices with…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is \emph{partitionable} if there exists a partition $\{A, B\}$ of $V$ such that $A$ induces a disjoint union of cliques and $B$ induces a triangle-free graph. In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of…

Let $\mathcal{T}_n$ be the set of all mappings $T:[n]\to[n]$, where $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. The corresponding graph $G_T$ of $T$, called a functional digraph, is a union of disjoint connected components. Each component is a directed cycle…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For some fixed prime $p$, let $\Gamma_p(G)$ be the common divisor graph built on the set of sizes of $p$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$: this is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the class sizes of…

We describe all the trees with the property that the corresponding edge ideal of the square of the tree has a linear resolution. As a consequence, we give a complete characterization of those trees $T$ for which the square is co-chordal,…

Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$ and $I\subset S$ be a squarefree monomial ideal generated in degree $n-2$. Motivated by the remarkable behavior of the powers of $I$ when $I$ admits a linear resolution, as…

For each squarefree monomial ideal $I\subset S = k[x_{1},\ldots, x_{n}] $, we associate a simple graph $G_I$ by using the first linear syzygies of $I$. In cases, where $G_I$ is a cycle or a tree, we show the following are equivalent: (a) $…

Let $G$ be a finite connected simple graph, and let $\mathcal{J}_{K_m,G}$ denote its generalized binomial edge ideal. By investigating the colon ideals of $\mathcal{J}_{K_m,G}$, we derive a formula for the local $\mathrm{v}$-number of…

A decomposition of a graph is a set of subgraphs whose edges partition those of $G$. The 3-decomposition conjecture posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof in 2011 states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a…

In this paper, we study the notion of chordality and cycles in hypergraphs from a commutative algebraic point of view. The corresponding concept of chordality in commutative algebra is having a linear resolution. However, there is no…

Given a 3-uniform hypergraph H, its 2-intersection graph G has for vertex set the hyperedges of H and ee' is an edge of G whenever e and e' have exactly two common vertices in H. Di Marco et al. prove that deciding wether a graph G is the…

Let $G$ be a finite graph and $\kappa(G)$ the vertex connectivity of $G$. A chordal graph $G$ is called chordal$^*$ if no vertex of $G$ is adjacent to all other vertices of $G$. Using the syzygy theory in commutative algebra, it is proved…

In this paper, we study toric ideals associated with multichains of posets. It is shown that the comparability graph of a poset is chordal if and only if there exists a quadratic Gr\"obner basis of the toric ideal of the poset. Strong…

A central question in liaison theory asks whether every Cohen-Macaulay, graded ideal of a standard graded K-algebra belongs to the same G-liaison class of a complete intersection. In this paper we answer this question positively for toric…

A graph G is dually chordal if there is a spanning tree T of G such that any maximal clique of G induces a subtree in T. This paper investigates the Colourability problem on dually chordal graphs. It will show that it is NP-complete in case…

Given a vertex-weighted oriented graph, we can associate to it a set of monomials. We consider the toric ideal whose defining map is given by these monomials. We find a generating set for the toric ideal for certain classes of graphs which…

In this work we continue the investigation launched in [FHR16] of the structural properties of the structural properties of the Layers model, a dependent percolation model. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, let…

We study the maximum number of edges in an $n$ vertex graph with Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter no more than $t$. We conjecture that for every integer $t$, if $G$ is a graph with at least $t$ vertices and Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter at…

A connected nontrivial graph $G$ is {\it matching covered} if every edge of $G$ is contained in some perfect matching of $G$. A matching covered graph $G$ is {\it minimal} if $G-e$ is not matching covered for each edge $e$ of $G$. A graph…

Learning properties of large graphs from samples has been an important problem in statistical network analysis since the early work of Goodman \cite{Goodman1949} and Frank \cite{Frank1978}. We revisit a problem formulated by Frank…
