This paper deals with dynamical networks for which the relations between node signals are described by proper transfer functions and external signals can influence each of the node signals. In particular, we are interested in…
A homomorphism from a graph $G$ to a graph $H$ is an edge-preserving mapping from $V(G)$ to $V(H)$. Let $H$ be a fixed graph with possible loops. In the list homomorphism problem, denoted by \textsc{LHom}($H$), the instance is a graph $G$,…
We collect some general results on graph limits associated to hereditary classes of graphs. As examples, we consider some classes defined by forbidden subgraphs and some classes of intersection graphs, including triangle-free graphs,…
The two graphs of the title both have vertex set G. In the intersection power graph, x and y are joined if some non-identity element is a power of both; in the power graph, x and y joined if one is a power of the other. Thus the power graph…
For a class $\mathcal C$ of graphs, we define $\mathcal C$-edge-brittleness of a graph $G$ as the minimum $\ell$ such that the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into sets inducing a subgraph in $\mathcal C$ and there are $\ell$ edges…
A \emph{mixed interval graph} is an interval graph that has, for every pair of intersecting intervals, either an arc (directed arbitrarily) or an (undirected) edge. We are particularly interested in scenarios where edges and arcs are…
We initiate the study of a new parameterization of graph problems. In a multiple interval representation of a graph, each vertex is associated to at least one interval of the real line, with an edge between two vertices if and only if an…
When each vertex is assigned a set, the intersection graph generated by the sets is the graph in which two distinct vertices are joined by an edge if and only if their assigned sets have a nonempty intersection. An interval graph is an…
Vertex connectivity and edge connectivity are fundamental concepts in graph theory that have been widely studied from both structural and algorithmic perspectives. The focus of this paper is on computing these two parameters for graphs…
In a graph, the switching operation reverses adjacencies between a subset of vertices and the others. For a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$, we are concerned with the maximum subclass and the minimum superclass of $\mathcal{G}$ that…
A graph $H$ is an induced subgraph of a graph $G$ if a graph isomorphic to $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by deleting vertices. Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the unavoidable induced subgraphs for graphs of…
A graph class is monotone if it is closed under taking subgraphs. It is known that a monotone class defined by finitely many obstructions has bounded treewidth if and only if one of the obstructions is a so-called tripod, that is, a…
In this paper, we provide an algorithm for traversing geometric graphs which visits all vertices, and reports every vertex and edge exactly once. To achieve this, we combine a given geometric graph $G$ with the integer lattice, seen as a…
Every chordal graph $G$ can be represented as the intersection graph of a collection of subtrees of a host tree, a so-called {\em tree model} of $G$. The leafage $\ell(G)$ of a connected chordal graph $G$ is the minimum number of leaves of…
The intersection graphs of stars in some tree are known as substar graphs. In this paper we give a characterization of substar graphs by the list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. This corrects a flaw in the main result of Chang,…
The most elusive problem around the class of circular-arc graphs is identifying all minimal graphs that are not in this class. The main obstacle is the lack of a systematic way of enumerating these minimal graphs. McConnell [FOCS 2001]…
The intersection graph of a group $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices $H$…
A Burling graph is an induced subgraph of some graph in Burling's construction of triangle-free high-chromatic graphs. Equivalently, a Burling graph is a graph that admits a so-called strict frame representation. We provide a…
Given $k$ graphs $G_{1}, \ldots, G_{k}$, their intersection is the graph $(\cap_{i\in [k]}V(G_{i}), \cap_{i\in [k]}E(G_{i}))$. Given $k$ graph classes $\mathcal{G}_{1}, \ldots , \mathcal{G}_{k}$, we call the class $\{G: \forall i \in[k],…
An Horizontal Visibility Graph (for short, HVG) is defined in association with an ordered set of non-negative reals. HVGs realize a methodology in the analysis of time series, their degree distribution being a good discriminator between…
