The Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is defined for integers $n$ and $k$ with $n \geq 2k$ as the graph whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ where two such sets are adjacent if they are disjoint. A classical result of Lov\'asz…
The GRAPH MOTIF problem asks whether a given multiset of colors appears on a connected subgraph of a vertex-colored graph. The fastest known parameterized algorithm for this problem is based on a reduction to the $k$-Multilinear Detection…
We consider the target set selection problem. In this problem, a vertex is active either if it belongs to a set of initially activated vertices or if at some point it has at least $k$ active neighbors ($k$ is identical for all vertices of…
A code design problem for memory devises with restricted state transitions is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem that is called a subgraph domatic partition (subDP) problem. If any neighbor set of a given state transition…
A graph vertex-subset problem defines which subsets of the vertices of an input graph are feasible solutions. We view a feasible solution as a set of tokens placed on the vertices of the graph. A reconfiguration variant of a vertex-subset…
The \emph{Undecided-State Dynamics} is a well-known protocol for distributed consensus. We analyze it in the parallel \pull\ communication model on the complete graph for the \emph{binary} case (every node can either support one of…
Consider a graph $G = (V, E)$ and, for each vertex $v \in V$, a subset $\Sigma(v)$ of neighbors of $v$. A $\Sigma$-coloring is a coloring of the elements of $V$ so that vertices appearing together in some $\Sigma(v)$ receive pairwise…
A notion of degree-coloring is introduced; it captures some, but not all properties of standard edge-coloring. We conjecture that the smallest number of colors needed for degree-coloring of a multigraph $G$ [the degree-coloring index…
Signed networks, i.e., networks with positive and negative edges, commonly arise in various domains from social media to epidemiology. Modeling signed networks has many practical applications, including the creation of synthetic data sets…
One formulation of the Erdos-Szekeres monotone subsequence theorem states that for any red/blue coloring of the edge set of the complete graph on $\{1, 2, \ldots, N\}$, there exists a monochromatic red $s$-clique or a monochromatic blue…
In a connected simple graph G = (V,E), each vertex of V is colored by a color from the set of colors C={c1, c2,..., c_{\alpha}}$. We take a subset S of V, such that for every vertex v in V\S, at least one vertex of the same color is present…
For a well-studied family of domination-type problems, in bounded-treewidth graphs, we investigate whether it is possible to find faster algorithms. For sets $\sigma,\rho$ of non-negative integers, a $(\sigma,\rho)$-set of a graph $G$ is a…
Inductive $k$-independent graphs generalize chordal graphs and have recently been advocated in the context of interference-avoiding wireless communication scheduling. The NP-hard problem of finding maximum-weight induced $c$-colorable…
For a graph $G$ and an integer-valued function $\tau$ on its vertex set, a dynamic monopoly is a set of vertices of $G$ such that iteratively adding to it vertices $u$ of $G$ that have at least $\tau(u)$ neighbors in it eventually yields…
Modeling dynamical systems is crucial for a wide range of tasks, but it remains challenging due to complex nonlinear dynamics, limited observations, or lack of prior knowledge. Recently, data-driven approaches such as Neural Ordinary…
We investigate a special case of hereditary property that we refer to as {\em robustness}. A property is {\em robust} in a given graph if it is inherited by all connected spanning subgraphs of this graph. We motivate this definition in…
We consider a framework for clustering edge-colored hypergraphs, where the goal is to cluster (equivalently, to color) objects based on the primary type of multiway interactions they participate in. One well-studied objective is to color…
We consider the Threshold Activation Problem (TAP): given social network $G$ and positive threshold $T$, find a minimum-size seed set $A$ that can trigger expected activation of at least $T$. We introduce the first scalable, parallelizable…
This paper studies the problem of selecting input nodes (leaders) to make networks strong structurally controllable despite misbehaving nodes and edges. We utilize a graph-based characterization of network strong structural controllability…
In the graph exploration problem, a team of mobile computational entities, called agents, arbitrarily positioned at some nodes of a graph, must cooperate so that each node is eventually visited by at least one agent. In the literature, the…
