Graph invariants provide a powerful analytical tool for investigation of abstract structures of graphs. They, combined in convenient relations, carry global and general information about a graph and its various substructures such as cycle…

The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper we study convex graph invariants, which are graph invariants…

For a given graph $G$, we aim to determine the possible realizable spectra for a generalized (or sometimes referred to as a weighted) Laplacian matrix associated with $G$. This new specialized inverse eigenvalue problem is considered for…

We consider intrinsic linking and knotting in the context of directed graphs. We construct an example of a directed graph that contains a consistently oriented knotted cycle in every embedding. We also construct examples of intrinsically…

We define the notions of Reidemeister torsion and analytic torsion for directed graphs by means of the path homology theory introduced by the authors in \cite{Grigoryan-Lin-Muranov-Yau2013, Grigoryan-Lin-Muranov-Yau2014,…

We describe recent achievements in the theory of weight systems, which are functions on chord diagrams satisfying so-called $4$-term relations. Our main attention is devoted to constructions of weight systems. The two main sources of these…

Graph packing problem is one of the central problems in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. The famous Steiner tree packing problem in undirected graphs has become an well-established area. It is natural to extend this problem to…

Directed graphs have long been used to gain understanding of the structure of semigroups, and recently the structure of directed graph semigroups has been investigated resulting in a characterization theorem and an analog of Fruct's…

We develop a general diagrammatic theory of welded graphs, and provide an extension of Satoh's Tube map from welded graphs to ribbon surface-links. As a topological application, we obtain a complete link-homotopy classification of so-called…

We present a simplified exposition of some classical and modern results on graph drawings in the plane. These results are chosen so that they illustrate some spectacular recent higher-dimensional results on the border of topology and…

In this paper we introduce the edge inducibility problem. This is a common refinement of both the well known Kruskal--Katona theorem and the inducibility question introduced by Pippenger and Golumbic. Our first result is a hardness result.…

We strengthen and put in a broader perspective previous results of the first two authors on colliding permutations. The key to the present approach is a new non-asymptotic invariant for graphs.

We solve the following problem: Can an undirected weighted graph G be parti- tioned into two non-empty induced subgraphs satisfying minimum constraints for the sum of edge weights at vertices of each subgraph? We show that this is possible…
