The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph $G$ is equivalent to…

We claimed that there is a polynomial algorithm to test if two graphs are isomorphic. But the algorithm is wrong. It only tests if the adjacency matrices of two graphs have the same eigenvalues. There is a counterexample of two…

For each integer $\ell \geq 4$, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a graph contains an induced cycle with length at least $\ell$ and even

A graph is circle if its vertices are in correspondence with a family of chords in a circle in such a way that every two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding chords have nonempty intersection. Even though there…

We prove that there is an algorithm to determine if a given finite graph is an induced subgraph of a given curve graph.

Given a graph $G$, the maximal induced subgraphs problem asks to enumerate all maximal induced subgraphs of $G$ that belong to a certain hereditary graph class. While its optimization version, known as the minimum vertex deletion problem in…

The $3$-admissibility of a graph is a promising measure to identify real-world networks that have an algorithmically favourable structure. We design an algorithm that decides whether the $3$-admissibility of an input graph~$G$ is at…

A network embedding is a representation of a large graph in a low-dimensional space, where vertices are modeled as vectors. The objective of a good embedding is to preserve the proximity between vertices in the original graph. This way,…

For all integers $k\geq 3$, we give an $O(n^4)$ time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph $G$ of girth at least $k$ together with $k$ vertices and whose question is "Does $G$ contains an induced subgraph containing the $k$…

An added edge to a graph is called an inset edge. Predicting k inset edges which minimize the average distance of a graph is known to be NP-Hard. When k = 1 the complexity of the problem is polynomial. In this paper, we further find the…

Multi-layer graphs consist of several graphs (layers) over the same vertex set. They are motivated by real-world problems where entities (vertices) are associated via multiple types of relationships (edges in different layers). We chart the…

Graph is an important data representation ubiquitously existing in the real world. However, analyzing the graph data is computationally difficult due to its non-Euclidean nature. Graph embedding is a powerful tool to solve the graph…

A graph is a path graph if it is the intersection graph of a family of subpaths of a tree. In 1970, Renz asked for a characterizaton of path graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. Here we answer this question by listing all graphs that are…

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E' of E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by…

The Johnson graph J(n,N) is defined as the graph whose vertices are the n-subsets of the set {1,2,...,N}, where two vertices are adjacent if they share exactly n - 1 elements. Unlike Johnson graphs, induced subgraphs of Johnson graphs (JIS…

We define an algorithm k which takes a connected graph G on a totally ordered vertex set and returns an increasing tree R (which is not necessarily a subtree of G). We characterize the set of graphs G such that k(G)=R. Because this set has…

The paper shows that almost every $n$-vertex graph is such that the multiset of its induced subgraphs on $3 \log_2{n}$ vertices is sufficient to determine it up to isomorphism. Therefore, for checking the isomorphism of a pair of $n$-vertex…

A graph $H$ is said to be an induced minor of a graph $G$ if $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by a sequence of vertex deletions and edge contractions. Equivalently, $H$ is an induced minor of $G$ if there exists an induced minor model of $H$ in…

In this paper, we show the existence of a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for all graphs excluding graphs that are locally trianglefree. This particular class of graphs allows to divide the graph into neighbourhood sub-graph…

The status of a vertex $v$ in a connected graph is the sum of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices. The status sequence of a connected graph is the list of the statuses of all the vertices of the graph. In this paper we investigate…
