Clique-node and closed neighborhood matrices of circular interval graphs are circular matrices. The stable set polytope and the dominating set polytope on these graphs are therefore closely related to the set packing polytope and the set…
An identifying code of a graph is a subset of its vertices such that every vertex of the graph is uniquely identified by the set of its neighbours within the code. We study the edge-identifying code problem, i.e. the identifying code…
The stability number of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is the cardinality of a stable set of maximum size in G. A graph is well-covered if every maximal stable set has the same size. G is a Koenig-Egervary graph if its order equals…
Motivated by investigations of rainbow matchings in edge colored graphs, we introduce the notion of color-line graphs that generalizes the classical concept of line graphs in a natural way. Let $H$ be a (properly) edge-colored graph. The…
The simplex graph $S(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the cliques of $G$ (including the empty set), with two vertices being adjacent if, as cliques of $G$, they differ in exactly one vertex. Simplex graphs form…
A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is called a perfectly matchable set of $G$ if the subgraph induced by $S$ contains a perfect matching. The perfectly matchable set polynomial of $G$, first made explicit by Ohsugi and Tsuchiya, is the…
The Lov\'asz theta function $\theta(G)$ provides a very good upper bound on the stability number of a graph $G$. It can be computed in polynomial time by solving a semidefinite program (SDP), which also turns out to be fairly tractable in…
We continue and extend previous work on the parameterized complexity analysis of the NP-hard Stable Roommates with Ties and Incomplete Lists problem, thereby strengthening earlier results both on the side of parameterized hardness as well…
Semidefinite programming (SDP) provides a powerful relaxation for the maximum cut problem. For a graph with rational weights, the decision problem of whether the SDP relaxation for the maximum cut problem is exact is known to be $NP$-hard;…
A general (convex) polytope $P\subset\mathbb R^d$ and its edge-graph $G_P$ can have very distinct symmetry properties. We construct a coloring (of the vertices and edges) of the edge-graph so that the combinatorial symmetry group of the…
We investigate the asymptotic structure of a random perfect graph $P_n$ sampled uniformly from the perfect graphs on vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Our approach is based on the result of Pr\"omel and Steger that almost all perfect graphs are…
A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$,…
Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $L_G \text{ and } \mathcal{I}_G \: $ denote the Lov\'asz-Saks-Schrijver(LSS) ideal and parity binomial edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $S = \mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots, x_n, y_1, \ldots,…
We continue the study of balanceable graphs, defined by Caro, Hansberg, and Montejano in 2021 as graphs $G$ such that any $2$-coloring of the edges of a sufficiently large complete graph containing sufficiently many edges of each color…
In this paper, we give a criterion of the nearly Gorenstein property of the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph: the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph $G$ with connected components…
We characterize the edges of two classes of $0/1$-polytopes. The first class corresponds to the stable set polytope of a graph $G$ and includes chain polytopes of posets, some instances of matroid independence polytopes, as well as…
An edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is called stable if the value of a maximum-weight matching equals the value of a maximum-weight fractional matching. Stable graphs play an important role in some interesting game theory problems, such as…
Signed graphs, which are characterized by both positive and negative edge weights, have recently attracted significant attention in the field of graph signal processing (GSP). Existing works on signed graph learning typically assume that…
This paper discusses the graph covering problem in which a set of edges in an edge- and node-weighted graph is chosen to satisfy some covering constraints while minimizing the sum of the weights. In this problem, because of the large…
A polytope $P$ is a {\em model} for a combinatorial problem on finite graphs $G$ whose variables are indexed by the edge set $E$ of $G$ if the points of $P$ with (0,1)-coordinates are precisely the characteristic vectors of the subset of…
