Due to their capacity to encode rich structural information, labeled graphs are often used for modeling various kinds of objects such as images, molecules, and chemical compounds. If pattern recognition problems such as clustering and…
The graph edit distance (GED) measures the dissimilarity between two graphs as the minimal cost of a sequence of elementary operations transforming one graph into another. This measure is fundamental in many areas such as structural pattern…
In well-studied graph modification problems, adding and deleting vertices and edges are used as graph editing operations. We propose a model for graph modification on geometric intersection graphs called Geometric Graph Edit Distance that…
Graph Edit Distance (GED) is a widely used metric for measuring similarity between two graphs. Computing the optimal GED is NP-hard, leading to the development of various neural and non-neural heuristics. While neural methods have achieved…
For a connected graph $G$ and $\alpha\in [0,1)$, the distance $\alpha$-spectral radius of $G$ is the spectral radius of the matrix $D_{\alpha}(G)$ defined as $D_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha T(G)+(1-\alpha)D(G)$, where $T(G)$ is a diagonal matrix of…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ with diameter $d$. Remoteness $\rho$ of $G$ is the maximum average distance from a vertex to all others and $\partial_1\geq\cdots\geq \partial_n$ are the distance eigenvalues of $G$. In \cite{AH},…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity and remoteness of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum,…
A graph is distance-hereditary if for any pair of vertices, their distance in every connected induced subgraph containing both vertices is the same as their distance in the original graph. The Distance-Hereditary Vertex Deletion problem…
A graph $H$ is an \emph{isometric} subgraph of $G$ if $d_H(u,v)= d_G(u,v)$, for every pair~$u,v\in V(H)$. A graph is \emph{distance preserving} if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A graph is \emph{sequentially distance…
We consider the setting of Reeb graphs of piecewise linear functions and study distances between them that are stable, meaning that functions which are similar in the supremum norm ought to have similar Reeb graphs. We define an edit…
Finding the graphs that are most similar to a query graph in a large database is a common task with various applications. A widely-used similarity measure is the graph edit distance, which provides an intuitive notion of similarity and…
A graph is said to be distance-hereditary if the distance function in every connected induced subgraph is the same as in the graph itself. We prove that the ordinary Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm correctly tests the isomorphism of any two…
Edit distance, also known as Levenshtein distance, is an essential way to compare two strings that proved to be particularly useful in the analysis of genetic sequences and natural language processing. However, edit distance is a discrete…

Graph similarity search is a common and fundamental operation in graph databases. One of the most popular graph similarity measures is the Graph Edit Distance (GED) mainly because of its broad applicability and high interpretability.…
The Discrepancy of a hypergraph is the minimum attainable value, over two-colorings of its vertices, of the maximum absolute imbalance of any hyperedge. The Hereditary Discrepancy of a hypergraph, defined as the maximum discrepancy of a…

We show that if the degree sequence of a graph $G$ is close in $\ell_1$-distance to a given realizable degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$, then $G$ is close in edit distance to a graph with degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$. We then use this…
