Levenshtein first introduced the sequence reconstruction problem in $2001$. In the realm of combinatorics, the sequence reconstruction problem is equivalent to determining the value of $N(n,d,t)$, which represents the maximum size of the…

The question whether there exists a hypergraph whose degrees are equal to a given sequence of integers is a well-known reconstruction problem in graph theory, which is motivated by discrete tomography. In this paper we approach the problem…

We consider the problem of reconstructing a function $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ given phase-less samples of its Gabor transform, which is defined by $$\mathcal{G} f(x,\omega) := 2^{\frac14} \int_{\mathbb{R}} f(t) e^{-\pi (t-x)^2} e^{-2\pi i y…

In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing a hidden weighted hypergraph of constant rank using additive queries. We prove the following: Let $G$ be a weighted hidden hypergraph of constant rank with n vertices and $m$…

In 1981 Jackson showed that the diregular bipartite tournament (a complete bipartite graph whose edges are oriented so that every vertex has the same in- and outdegree) contains a Hamilton cycle, and conjectured that in fact the edge set of…

Many degree sequences can only be realised in graphs that contain a `ds-completable card', defined as a vertex-deleted subgraph in which the erstwhile neighbours of the deleted vertex can be identified from their degrees, if one knows the…

In this work, for a given oriented graph $D$, we study its interval and hull numbers, respectively, in the oriented geodetic, P3 and P3* convexities. This last one, we believe to be formally defined and first studied in this paper, although…

Random graph matching refers to recovering the underlying vertex correspondence between two random graphs with correlated edges; a prominent example is when the two random graphs are given by Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs $G(n,\frac{d}{n})$.…

We extend the list of tournaments $S$ for which the complete structural description for tournaments excluding $S$ as a subtournament is known. Specifically, let $\Delta(1, 2, 2)$ be a tournament on five vertices obtained from a cyclic…

Structured prediction can be thought of as a simultaneous prediction of multiple labels. This is often done by maximizing a score function on the space of labels, which decomposes as a sum of pairwise and unary potentials. The above is…

We say that a digraph $D$ is $(i,j)$-step competitive if any two vertices have an $(i,j)$-step common out-neighbor in $D$ and that a graph $G$ is $(i,j)$-step competitively orientable if there exists an $(i,j)$-step competitive orientation…

Coloring graphs is an important algorithmic problem in combinatorics with many applications in computer science. In this paper we study coloring tournaments. A chromatic number of a random tournament is of order $\Omega(\frac{n}{\log(n)})$.…

For a given graph G and integers b,f >= 0, let S be a subset of vertices of G of size b+1 such that the subgraph of G induced by S is connected and S can be separated from other vertices of G by removing f vertices. We prove that every…

An oriented graph $H$ is Tur\'anable (resp. tileable) if there exist $n_0 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every semi-regular near-tournament on $n \ge n_0$ vertices contains a copy of $H$ (resp. a perfect $H$-tiling). We disprove a conjectured…

The graph projection of a hypergraph is a simple graph with the same vertex set and with an edge between each pair of vertices that appear in a hyperedge. We consider the problem of reconstructing a random $d$-uniform hypergraph from its…

Over 50 years ago, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai conjectured that the edges of every graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. Among other results, Conlon, Fox and Sudakov recently proved that this holds for the random…

A {\em bipartite tournament} is a directed graph $T:=(A \cup B, E)$ such that every pair of vertices $(a,b), a\in A,b\in B$ are connected by an arc, and no arc connects two vertices of $A$ or two vertices of $B$. A {\em feedback vertex set}…

We consider the problem of inferring an unknown ranking of $n$ items from a random tournament on $n$ vertices whose edge directions are correlated with the ranking. We establish, in terms of the strength of these correlations, the…

We prove Seymour's Second Neighborhood Conjecture when the missing graph is disjoint stars under some conditions. Weaker conditions are required when n=2 or 3. In some cases, we exhibit two vertices with the desired property.

An arc-coloured digraph $D$ is said to be \emph{rainbow connected} if for every two vertices $u$ and $v$ there is an $uv$-path all whose arcs have different colours. The minimun number of colours required to make the digraph rainbow…
