Many real-world networks evolve over time, that is, new contacts appear and old contacts may disappear. They can be modeled as temporal graphs where interactions between vertices (which represent people in the case of social networks) are…

We propose an unsupervised approach for learning vertex orderings for the maximum clique problem by framing it within a permutation-based framework. We transform the combinatorial constraints into geometric relationships such that the…

A novel approach to complex problems has been previously applied to graph classification and the graph equivalence problem. Here we apply it to the NP complete problem of finding the largest perfect clique within a graph $G$.

Given an undirected graph and $0\le\epsilon\le1$, a set of nodes is called $\epsilon$-near clique if all but an $\epsilon$ fraction of the pairs of nodes in the set have a link between them. In this paper we present a fast synchronous…

We consider problems of finding a maximum size/weight $t$-matching without forbidden subgraphs in an undirected graph $G$ with the maximum degree bounded by $t+1$, where $t$ is an integer greater than $2$. Depending on the variant forbidden…

A geometric intersection graph is constructed over a set of geometric objects, where each vertex represents a distinct object and an edge connects two vertices if and only if the corresponding objects intersect. We examine the problem of…

We present a new approach, called a lazy matching, to the problem of on-line matching on bipartite graphs. Imagine that one side of a graph is given and the vertices of the other side are arriving on-line. Originally, incoming vertex is…

A grounded 1-bend string graph is an intersection graph of a set of polygonal lines, each with one bend, such that the lines lie above a common horizontal line $\ell$ and have exactly one endpoint on $\ell$. We show that the problem of…

In graph theory, the objective of the k-centre problem is to find a set of $k$ vertices for which the largest distance of any vertex to its closest vertex in the $k$-set is minimised. In this paper, we introduce the $k$-centre problem for…

Large real-world graphs tend to be sparse, but they often contain many densely connected subgraphs and exhibit high clustering coefficients. While recent random graph models can capture this sparsity, they ignore the local density, or vice…

The concept of $k$-defective clique, a relaxation of clique by allowing up-to $k$ missing edges, has been receiving increasing interests recently. Although the problem of finding the maximum $k$-defective clique is NP-hard, several…

Finding a maximum clique in a given graph is one of the fundamental NP-hard problems. We compare two multi-core thread-parallel adaptations of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for the maximum clique problem, and provide a novel…

If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…
