A particular case of Caccetta-H\"{a}ggkvist conjecture, says that a digraph of order $n$ with minimum out-degree at least $1/3n$ contains a directed cycle of length at most 3. Recently, Kral, Hladky and Norine proved that a digraph of order…

Grid graphs, and, more generally, $k\times r$ grid graphs, form one of the most basic classes of geometric graphs. Over the past few decades, a large body of works studied the (in)tractability of various computational problems on grid…

A doubly group-labeled graph is an oriented graph with its edges labeled by elements of the direct sum of two groups $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$. A cycle in a doubly group-labeled graph is $(\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2)$-non-zero if it is non-zero in both…

There has been recent growing interest in graph theoretical properties known as r- and (r,s)-robustness. These properties serve as sufficient conditions guaranteeing the success of certain consensus algorithms in networks with misbehaving…

Many well-known NP-hard algorithmic problems on directed graphs resist efficient parametrisations with most known width measures for directed graphs, such as directed treewidth, DAG-width, Kelly-width and many others. While these focus on…

Extending work of Foster, Doyle, and others, we show how the Foster Theorems, a family of results concerning effective resistances on finite graphs, can in certain cases be extended to infinite graphs. A family of sum rules is then…

We define the graph minor category and prove that the category of contravariant representations of the graph minor category over a Noetherian ring is locally Noetherian. This can be regarded as a categorification of the Robertson--Seymour…

Given a set of sources and a set of sinks as points in the Euclidean plane, a directed network is a directed graph drawn in the plane with a directed path from each source to each sink. Such a network may contain nodes other than the given…

Distance well-defined graphs consist of connected undirected graphs, strongly connected directed graphs and strongly connected mixed graphs. Let $G$ be a distance well-defined graph, and let ${\sf D}(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$.…

One of the classical topics in graph Ramsey theory is the study of which $n$-vertex graphs have Ramsey numbers that are linear in $n$. In this paper, we consider this problem in the context of directed graphs. The oriented Ramsey number of…

For every $r \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\theta_r$ denote the graph with two vertices and $r$ parallel edges. The $\theta_r$-girth of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges of a subgraph of $G$ that can be contracted to $\theta_r$. This…

In 1985, Mader conjectured the existence of a function $f$ such that every digraph with minimum out-degree at least $f(k)$ contains a subdivision of the transitive tournament of order $k$. This conjecture is still completely open, as the…

The graphical notion of effective resistance has found wide-ranging applications in many areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and control theory. By the nature of its construction, effective resistance can only be computed in…

The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa theorem states that every undirected graph that does not admit a family of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles contains a feedback vertex set (a set of vertices hitting all cycles in the graph) of size $O(k \log k)$.…

Graphical domination was first introduced in [1] in the context of combinatorial threshold-linear networks (CTLNs). There it was shown that when a domination relationship exists between a pair of vertices in a graph, certain fixed points in…

We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

Directed graphs occur throughout statistical modeling of networks, and exchangeability is a natural assumption when the ordering of vertices does not matter. There is a deep structural theory for exchangeable undirected graphs, which…

Among various distance functions for graphs, graph and subgraph edit distances (GED and SED respectively) are two of the most popular and expressive measures. Unfortunately, exact computations for both are NP-hard. To overcome this…

A longstanding conjecture of Seymour states that in every oriented graph there is a vertex whose second outneighbourhood is at least as large as its outneighbourhood. In this short note we show that, for any fixed $p\in[0,1/2)$, a.a.s.…
