Orbits of graphs under the operation edge local complementation (ELC) are defined. We show that the ELC orbit of a bipartite graph corresponds to the equivalence class of a binary linear code. The information sets and the minimum distance…
Graph states form a large family of quantum states that are in one-to-one correspondence with mathematical graphs. Graph states are used in many applications, such as measurement-based quantum computation, as multipartite entangled…
The local complement G*i of a simple graph G at one of its vertices i is obtained by complementing the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of i and leaving the rest of the graph unchanged. If e={i,j} is an edge of G then G*e=((G*i)*j)*i is…
Local complement is a graph operation formalized by Bouchet which replaces the neighborhood of a chosen vertex with its edge-complement. This operation induces an equivalence relation on graphs; determining the size of the resulting…
A 2-edge-coloured graph $G$ is called {\bf locally complete} if for each vertex $v$, the vertices adjacent to $v$ through edges of the same colour induce a complete subgraph in $G$. Locally complete 2-edge-coloured graphs have nice…
An edge cut $C$ of a graph $G$ is {\it tight} if $|C \cap M|=1$ for every perfect matching $M$ of $G$.~Barrier cuts and 2-separation cuts are called {\it ELP-cuts}, which are two important types of tight cuts in matching covered…
We study the notions of continuous orbit equivalence and eventual one-sided conjugacy of finitely-aligned higher-rank graphs and two-sided conjugacy of row-finite higher-rank graphs with finitely many vertices and no sinks or sources. We…
In this paper, we propose to enhance the performance of the sum-product algorithm (SPA) by interleaving SPA iterations with a random local graph update rule. This rule is known as edge local complementation (ELC), and has the effect of…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
Local complementation of a graph $G$ on vertex $v$ is an operation that results in a new graph $G*v$, where the neighborhood of $v$ is complemented. Two graph are locally equivalent if on can be reached from the other one through local…
We initiate the study of computational complexity of graph coverings, aka locally bijective graph homomorphisms, for {\em graphs with semi-edges}. The notion of graph covering is a discretization of coverings between surfaces or topological…
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…
An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. These codes have been widely studied for over two decades. We give an improvement…
A perfect code in a graph is an independent set of the graph such that every vertex outside the set is adjacent to exactly one vertex in the set. A circulant graph is a Cayley graph of a cyclic group. In this paper we study perfect codes in…
In this paper, we construct Error-Correcting Graph Codes. An error-correcting graph code of distance $\delta$ is a family $C$ of graphs on a common vertex set of size $n$, such that if we start with any graph in $C$, we would have to modify…
An edge cut C of a graph G is tight if |C \M| = 1 for every perfect matching M of G. Barrier-cuts and 2-separation cuts, also referred to as ELP-cuts, are two important types of tight cuts in matching covered graphs. Edmonds, Lovasz and…
We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We…
There are local operators on (labeled) graphs $G$ with labels $(g_{ij})$ coming from a finite field. If the filed is binary, in other words, if the graph is ordinary, the operation is just the local complementation. That is, to choose a…
In [Phys. Rev. A 69, 022316 (2004)] we presented a description of the action of local Clifford operations on graph states in terms of a graph transformation rule, known in graph theory as \emph{local complementation}. It was shown that two…
In Cayley graphs on the additive group of a small vector space over GF$(q)$, $q=2,3$, we look for completely regular (CR) codes whose parameters are new in Hamming graphs over the same field. The existence of a CR code in such Cayley graph…
