The partial representation extension problem is a recently introduced generalization of the recognition problem. A circle graph is an intersection graph of chords of a circle. We study the partial representation extension problem for circle…
Compact and I/O-efficient data representations play an important role in efficient algorithm design, as memory bandwidth and latency can present a significant performance bottleneck, slowing the computation by orders of magnitude. While…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
Rooted phylogenetic networks are used by biologists to infer and represent complex evolutionary relationships between species that cannot be accurately explained by a phylogenetic tree. Tree-child networks are a particular class of rooted…
We study the problem of connecting the parts of a multipartite graph using a minimum number of edges under a matching constraint. We introduce interconnection trees, defined as matchings whose projections onto the quotient graph form a…
Graph similarity computation aims to predict a similarity score between one pair of graphs to facilitate downstream applications, such as finding the most similar chemical compounds similar to a query compound or Fewshot 3D Action…
The inference of the evolutionary history of a collection of organisms is a problem of fundamental importance in evolutionary biology. The abundance of DNA sequence data arising from genome sequencing projects has led to significant…
An $H$-graph is an intersection graph of connected subgraphs of a suitable subdivision of a fixed graph $H$. Many important classes of graphs, including interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, and chordal graphs, can be expressed as…
Simple drawings are drawings of graphs in which any two edges intersect at most once (either at a common endpoint or a proper crossing), and no edge intersects itself. We analyze several characteristics of simple drawings of complete…
Property $(P)$, introduced in recent work and rooted in the classical theory of Parter vertices, concerns the existence of a nonsingular matrix $A\in S(G)$ for which every vertex of $G$ is a $P$-vertex. Previous investigations have fully…
A longstanding open question of Archdeacon and Craft asks whether every complete graph has a minimum genus embedding with at most one nontriangular face. We exhibit such an embedding for each complete graph except $K_8$, the complete graph…
Computing maximum independent sets in graphs is an important problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop an evolutionary algorithm to tackle the problem. The core innovations of the algorithm are very natural combine operations…
The odd-red bipartite perfect matching problem asks to find a perfect matching containing an odd number of red edges in a given red-blue edge-colored bipartite graph. While this problem lies in $\mathsf{P}$, its polyhedral structure remains…
We prove several results about chordal graphs and weighted chordal graphs by focusing on exposed edges. These are edges that are properly contained in a single maximal complete subgraph. This leads to a characterization of chordal graphs…
Due to their elegant and simple nature, unitary Cayley graphs have been an active research topic in the literature. These graphs are naturally connected to several branches of mathematics, including number theory, finite algebra,…
Recently, there has been interest in the question of whether a partial matrix in which many of the fully defined principal submatrices are PSD is approximately PSD completable. These questions are related to graph theory because we can…
A recent paper \cite{CaeCaeSchBar06} proposed a provably optimal, polynomial time method for performing near-isometric point pattern matching by means of exact probabilistic inference in a chordal graphical model. Their fundamental result…
Graphs are a fundamental data structure used to represent relationships in domains as diverse as the social sciences, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, the Internet, and more. One of the central observations in network science is that…
In a directed graph, a kernel is a subset of vertices that is both stable and absorbing. Not all digraphs have a kernel, but a theorem due to Boros and Gurvich guarantees the existence of a kernel in every clique-acyclic orientation of a…
In this paper we study some variants of Dirac-type problems in hypergraphs. First, we show that for $k\ge 3$, if $H$ is a $k$-graph on $n\in k\mathbb N$ vertices with independence number at most $n/p$ and minimum codegree at least…
