This is an expository paper. A $1$-cycle in a graph is a set $C$ of edges such that every vertex is contained in an even number of edges from $C$. E.g., a cycle in the sense of graph theory is a $1$-cycle, but not vice versa. It is easy to…

Let $G = (V,E,\ell)$ be a $n$-node $m$-edge weighted undirected graph, where $\ell: E \rightarrow (0,\infty)$ is a real \emph{length} function defined on its edges, and let $g$ denote the girth of $G$, i.e., the length of its shortest…

We consider the parameterised $k,e$-Long Cycle problem, in which you are given an $n$-vertex undirected graph $G$, a specified edge $e$ in $G$, and a positive integer $k$, and are asked to decide if the graph $G$ has a simple cycle through…

A recently posed question of Haggkvist and Scott's asked whether or not there exists a constant c such that if G is a graph of minimum degree ck then G contains cycles of k consecutive even lengths. In this paper we answer the question by…

We apply in this article (non rigorous) statistical mechanics methods to the problem of counting long circuits in graphs. The outcomes of this approach have two complementary flavours. On the algorithmic side, we propose an approximate…

We introduce an algorithm which estimates the number of circuits in a graph as a function of their length. This approach provides analytical results for the typical entropy of circuits in sparse random graphs. When applied to real-world…

Listing copies of small subgraphs (such as triangles, $4$-cycles, small cliques) in the input graph is an important and well-studied problem in algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we give a simple algorithm that lists $t$ (non-induced)…

Message passing neural networks have shown a lot of success on graph-structured data. However, there are many instances where message passing can lead to over-smoothing or fail when neighboring nodes belong to different classes. In this…
