Subgraph isomorphism is a well-known NP-hard problem which is widely used in many applications, such as social network analysis and knowledge graph query. Its performance is often limited by the inherent hardness. Several insightful works…
Combinatorial optimization problems are pervasive across science and industry. Modern deep learning tools are poised to solve these problems at unprecedented scales, but a unifying framework that incorporates insights from statistical…
In line with the recent development in topological graph theory, we are considering undirected graphs that are allowed to contain {\em multiple edges}, {\em loops}, and {\em semi-edges}. A graph is called {\em simple} if it contains no…
Two major milestones on the road to the full complexity dichotomy for finite-domain constraint satisfaction problems were Bulatov's proof of the dichotomy for conservative templates, and the structural dichotomy for smooth digraphs of…
In this note, we consider the following problem: given a connected graph $G$, can we reduce the domination number of $G$ by using only one edge contraction? We show that the problem is polynomial-time solvable on $P_3+kP_2$-free graphs for…
We study the complexity of graph problems on graphs defined on groups, especially power graphs. We observe that an isomorphism invariant problem, such as Hamiltonian Path, Partition into Cliques, Feedback Vertex Set, Subgraph Isomorphism,…
In this paper, we consider the following problem: given a connected graph $G$, can we reduce the domination number of $G$ by one by using only one edge contraction? We show that the problem is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard when restricted to…
We introduce a new method for decomposing the edge set of a graph, and use it to replace the Regularity lemma of Szemer\'edi in some graph embedding problems. An algorithmic version is also given.
We view the determinant and permanent as functions on directed weighted graphs and introduce their analogues for the undirected graphs. We prove that the task of computing the undirected determinants as well as permanents for planar graphs,…
We prove a complete complexity classification theorem for the planar eight-vertex model. For every parameter setting in ${\mathbb C}$ for the eight-vertex model, the partition function is either (1) computable in P-time for every graph, or…
Diagrammatic techniques to compute perturbatively the spectral properties of Euclidean Random Matrices in the high-density regime are introduced and discussed in detail. Such techniques are developed in two alternative and very different…
Notions of graph similarity provide alternative perspective on the graph isomorphism problem and vice-versa. In this paper, we consider measures of similarity arising from mismatch norms as studied in Gervens and Grohe: the edit distance…
Let G=(V,E) be a graph. Let k < |V| be an integer. Let O_k be the number of edge induced subgraphs of G having k vertices and an odd number of edges. Let E_k be the number of edge induced subgraphs of G having k vertices and an even number…
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…
Given an arbitrary hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, we may glue to $\mathcal{H}$ a family of hypergraphs to get a new hypergraph $\mathcal{H}'$ having $\mathcal{H}$ as an induced subhypergraph. In this paper, we introduce three gluing techniques…
Consider a graph drawn on a surface (for example, the plane minus a finite set of obstacle points), possibly with crossings. We provide an algorithm to decide whether such a drawing can be untangled, namely, if one can slide the vertices…
The graph isomorphism problem is a main problem which has numerous applications in different fields. Thus, finding an efficient and easy to implement method to discriminate non-isomorphic graphs is valuable. In this paper, a new method is…
The $H$-Free Edge Deletion problem asks, for a given graph $G$ and an integer $k$, whether it is possible to delete at most $k$ edges from $G$ to make it $H$-free, that is, not containing $H$ as an induced subgraph. The $H$-Free Edge…
Bipartite graphs are a fundamental concept in graph theory with diverse applications. A graph is bipartite iff it contains no odd cycles, a characteristic that has many implications in diverse fields ranging from matching problems to the…
Averbouch, Godlin and Makowsky define the edge elimination polynomial of a graph by a recurrence relation with respect to the deletion, contraction and extraction of an edge. It generalizes some well-known graph polynomials such as the…
