We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs from a computational point of view. A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is a graph $G$ where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative; $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$ denotes the set of negative edges.…

The purpose of this article is to show that even the most elementary problems in asymptotic extremal graph theory can be highly non-trivial. We study linear inequalities between graph homomorphism densities. In the language of quantum…

In some applications of matching, the structural or hierarchical properties of the two graphs being aligned must be maintained. The hierarchical properties are induced by the direction of the edges in the two directed graphs. These…

Many problems and conjectures in extremal combinatorics concern polynomial inequalities between homomorphism densities of graphs where we allow edges to have real weights. Using the theory of graph limits, we can equivalently evaluate…

The P versus NP problem asks whether every language verifiable in polynomial time can also be decided in deterministic polynomial time. In this paper, we present a constructive proof that P = NP by introducing a universal, graph-based…

The $\mathcal{H}$-coloring problem for undirected simple graphs is a computational problem from a huge class of the constraint satisfaction problems (CSP): an $\mathcal{H}$-coloring of a graph $\mathcal{G}$ is just a homomorphism from…

We investigate the computational complexity of the graph primality testing problem with respect to the direct product (also known as Kronecker, cardinal or tensor product). In [1] Imrich proves that both primality testing and a unique prime…

We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for symmetric complex-weighted Boolean #CSP when the constraint graph of the input must be planar. The problems that are #P-hard over general graphs but tractable over planar graphs are precisely…

We prove two dichotomy results for detecting long paths as patterns in a given graph. The NP-hard problem Longest Induced Path is to determine the longest induced path in a graph. The NP-hard problem Longest Path Contractibility is to…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices with adjacency matrix $A$, and let $\mathbf{1}$ be the all-ones vector. We call $G$ controllable if the set of vectors $\mathbf{1}, A\mathbf{1}, \dots, A^{n-1}\mathbf{1}$ spans the whole space…

A graph $G$ is said to be a `set graph' if it admits an acyclic orientation that is also `extensional', in the sense that the out-neighborhoods of its vertices are pairwise distinct. Equivalently, a set graph is the underlying graph of the…

A disconnected cut of a connected graph is a vertex cut that itself also induces a disconnected subgraph. The decision problem whether a graph has a disconnected cut is called Disconnected Cut. This problem is closely related to several…

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least one neighbor in the set. The problem of counting dominating sets is #P-complete for chordal graphs but solvable in polynomial time for its…

The CSP dichotomy conjecture has been recently established, but a number of other dichotomy questions remain open, including the dichotomy classification of list homomorphism problems for signed graphs. Signed graphs arise naturally in many…
