We examine the problem of maximizing the reachability of a given source in temporal graphs that are given as the union of k temporal paths, i.e., every given path is a sequence of edges with strictly increasing labels that denote…

Numerous complex systems, such as those arisen in ecological networks, genomic contact networks, and social networks, exhibit higher-order and time-varying characteristics, which can be effectively modeled using temporal hypergraphs.…

We pose a new and intriguing question motivated by distributed computing regarding random walks on graphs: How long does it take for several independent random walks, starting from the same vertex, to cover an entire graph? We study the…

We study the fundamental problem of graph exploration in dynamic graphs using mobile agents. We consider $1$-interval connected dynamic graphs, where the topology may change arbitrarily from round to round as long as the graph remains…

When the focus is on the relationships or interactions between entities, graphs offer an intuitive model for many real-world data. Such graphs are usually large and change over time, thus, requiring models and strategies that explore their…

In this work we consider \emph{temporal networks}, i.e. networks defined by a \emph{labeling} $\lambda$ assigning to each edge of an \emph{underlying graph} $G$ a set of \emph{discrete} time-labels. The labels of an edge, which are natural…

We study deterministic exploration by a single agent in $T$-interval-connected graphs, a standard model of dynamic networks in which, for every time window of length $T$, the intersection of the graphs within the window is connected. The…

In a temporal forest each edge has an associated set of time labels that specify the time instants in which the edges are available. A temporal path from vertex $u$ to vertex $v$ in the forest is a selection of a label for each edge in the…

An important characteristic of temporal graphs is how the directed arrow of time influences their causal topology, i.e., which nodes can possibly influence each other causally via time-respecting paths. The resulting patterns are often…

A temporal graph ${\cal G}$ is a graph that changes with time. More specifically, it is a pair $(G, \lambda)$ where $G$ is a graph and $\lambda$ is a function on the edges of $G$ that describes when each edge $e\in E(G)$ is active. Given…

A \emph{resolving set} $R$ in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is uniquely identified by its distances to the vertices of $R$. Introduced in the 1970s, this concept has been since then extensively studied from…
