In this paper we discuss an operation on halving edges graph that we call fission. Fission replaces each point in a given configuration with a small cluster of k points. The operation interacts nicely with halving edges, so we examine its…
In the classic Minimum Bisection problem we are given as input a graph $G$ and an integer $k$. The task is to determine whether there is a partition of $V(G)$ into two parts $A$ and $B$ such that $||A|-|B|| \leq 1$ and there are at most $k$…
This paper revisits the classical Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph $G$ and a set of terminal pairs $P$ and asks whether $G$ contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal…
A graph $G$ with vertex set $\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n\}$ is an intersection graph of segments if there are segments $s_1,\ldots,s_n$ in the plane such that $s_i$ and $s_j$ have a common point if and only if $\{v_i,v_j\}$ is an edge of~$G$. In…
In a strongly connected graph $G = (V,E)$, a cut arc (also called strong bridge) is an arc $e \in E$ whose removal makes the graph no longer strongly connected. Equivalently, there exist $u,v \in V$, such that all $u$-$v$ walks contain $e$.…
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of straight-line segments in the plane, potentially crossing, and let $c$ be a positive integer. We denote by $P$ the union of the endpoints of the straight-line segments of $\mathcal{D}$ and of the intersection…
We give a characterization of the effect of sequences of pivot operations on a graph by relating it to determinants of adjacency matrices. This allows us to deduce that two sequences of pivot operations are equivalent iff they contain the…
Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…
A path separator of a graph $G$ is a set of paths $\mathcal{P}=\{P_1,\ldots,P_t\}$ such that for every pair of edges $e,f\in E(G)$, there exist paths $P_e,P_f\in\mathcal{P}$ such that $e\in E(P_e)$, $f\not\in E(P_e)$, $e\not\in E(P_f)$ and…
As two fundamental problems, graph cuts and graph matching have been investigated over decades, resulting in vast literature in these two topics respectively. However the way of jointly applying and solving graph cuts and matching receives…
To solve many problems on graphs, graph traversals are used, the usual variants of which are the depth-first search and the breadth-first search. Implementing a graph traversal we consequently reach all vertices of the graph that belong to…
Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…
A geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in general position in the plane and its edges are straight line segments joining these points. In this paper we give an $O(n^2 \log n)$ algorithm to compute the number of pairs of…
Consider a plane graph G, drawn with straight lines. For every pair a,b of vertices of G, we compare the shortest-path distance between a and b in G (with Euclidean edge lengths) to their actual distance in the plane. The worst-case ratio…
This paper develops a structural theory of unique shortest paths in real-weighted graphs. Our main goal is to characterize exactly which sets of node sequences, which we call path systems, can be realized as unique shortest paths in a graph…
Graphs are a natural representation of data from various contexts, such as social connections, the web, road networks, and many more. In the last decades, many of these networks have become enormous, requiring efficient algorithms to cut…
This paper studies graphs that have two tree decompositions with the property that every bag from the first decomposition has a bounded-size intersection with every bag from the second decomposition. We show that every graph in each of the…
We prove that in any $n$-vertex complete graph there is a collection $\mathcal{P}$ of $(1 + o(1))n$ paths that strongly separates any pair of distinct edges $e, f$, meaning that there is a path in $\mathcal{P}$ which contains $e$ but not…
We introduce Graph Neural Processes (GNP), inspired by the recent work in conditional and latent neural processes. A Graph Neural Process is defined as a Conditional Neural Process that operates on arbitrary graph data. It takes features of…
A graph is a structure composed of a set of vertices (i.e.nodes, dots) connected to one another by a set of edges (i.e.links, lines). The concept of a graph has been around since the late 19$^\text{th}$ century, however, only in recent…
