A graph G is intrinsically S^1-linked if for every embedding of the vertices of G into S^1, vertices that form the endpoints of two disjoint edges in G form a non-split link in the embedding. We show that a graph is intrinsically S^1-linked…

The definition of $1$-planar graphs naturally extends graph planarity, namely a graph is $1$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. Unfortunately, while testing graph planarity is solvable in linear time,…

A linkage $\mathcal{L}$ consists of a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an edge-length function $\ell$. Deciding whether $\mathcal{L}$ can be realized as a planar straight-line embedding in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with edge length $\ell(e)$ for all $e \in E$ is…

We introduce and study the $\textit{OrthoSEFE}-k$ problem: Given $k$ planar graphs each with maximum degree 4 and the same vertex set, do they admit an OrthoSEFE, that is, is there an assignment of the vertices to grid points and of the…

The restricted edge-connectivity of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\lambda^{\prime}(G)$, if it exists, is the minimum cardinality of a set of edges whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected and each component with at least 2 vertices. It…

Let $G=(V,E)$ and $H$ be two graphs. Packing problem is to find in $G$ the largest number of independent subgraphs each of which is isomorphic to $H$. Let $U\subset{V}$. If the graph $G-U$ has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, $U$ is a cover…

Are the embeddings of a graph's degenerate core stable? What happens to the embeddings of nodes in the degenerate core as we systematically remove periphery nodes (by repeated peeling off $k$-cores)? We discover three patterns w.r.t.…

Exact pattern matching in labeled graphs is the problem of searching paths of a graph $G=(V,E)$ that spell the same string as the pattern $P[1..m]$. This basic problem can be found at the heart of more complex operations on variation graphs…

A path in an(a) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of its edges(vertices). An(A) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{conflict-free (vertex-)connected} if there is…

Recently, a new way of avoiding crossings in straight-line drawings of non-planar graphs has been investigated. The idea of partial edge drawings (PED) is to drop the middle part of edges and rely on the remaining edge parts called stubs.…

Dense subgraph discovery is an important graph-mining primitive with a variety of real-world applications. One of the most well-studied optimization problems for dense subgraph discovery is the densest subgraph problem, where given an…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph is \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-subgraph-free} if it has no subgraph isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{F}$. We present a fixed-parameter linear-time algorithm that decides whether a planar graph can…

Given a graph, we associate each edge with the transposition which exchanges the endvertices. Fixing a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of the vertices. D\'enes proved that the permutation is a full cyclic permutation…

Fitch graphs $G=(X,E)$ are digraphs that are explained by $\{\emptyset, 1\}$-edge-labeled rooted trees $T$ with leaf set $X$: there is an arc $(x,y) \in E$ if and only if the unique path in $T$ that connects the last common ancestor…

An edge-colored graph is said to be balanced if it has an equal number of edges of each color. Given a graph $G$ whose edges are colored using two colors and a positive integer $k$, the objective in the Edge Balanced Connected Subgraph…

A weak deletion sequence is a sequence $(G_1,\ldots,G_n)$ of graphs so that for each $i\in[n-1]$ either $G_i$ is isomorphic to a subgraph of $G_{i+1}$, or vice versa: $G_{i+1}$ is isomorphic to a subgraph of $G_i$. We prove that determining…

In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…

The 2-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph Problem (2ECSS) is a fundamental problem in survivable network design. Given an undirected $2$-edge-connected graph, the goal is to find a $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph with the minimum number…

In Partition Into Complementary Subgraphs (Comp-Sub) we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$, and an edge set property $\Pi$, and asked whether $G$ can be decomposed into two graphs, $H$ and its complement $\overline{H}$, for some graph $H$, in such…

We consider the problem of simultaneous embedding of planar graphs. There are two variants of this problem, one in which the mapping between the vertices of the two graphs is given and another where the mapping is not given. In particular,…
