The transversal rank of a hypergraph is the maximum size of its minimal hitting sets. Deciding, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge hypergraph and an integer $k$, whether the transversal rank is at least $k$ takes time $O(m^{k+1} n)$ with an…

The orthogonal rank of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the smallest dimension $\xi$ such that there exist non-zero column vectors $x_v\in\mathbb{C}^\xi$ for $v\in V$ satisfying the orthogonality condition $x_v^\dagger x_w=0$ for all $vw\in E$. We…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The domination number…

We consider the classical Minimum Crossing Number problem: given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, compute a drawing of $G$ in the plane, while minimizing the number of crossings between the images of its edges. This is a fundamental and extensively…

The Minimum Coloring Cut Problem is defined as follows: given a connected graph G with colored edges, find an edge cut E' of G (a minimal set of edges whose removal renders the graph disconnected) such that the number of colors used by the…

Given a simple graph $G=(V_G, E_G)$ with vertex set $V_G$ and edge set $E_G$, the mixed graph $\widetilde{G}$ is obtained from $G$ by orienting some of its edges. Let $H(\widetilde{G})$ denote the Hermitian adjacency matrix of…

Let $G_{n,\gamma}$ be the set of all connected graphs on $n$ vertices with domination number $\gamma$. A graph is called a minimizer graph if it attains the minimum spectral radius among $G_{n,\gamma}$. Very recently, Liu, Li and Xie…

The adjacency matrix is the most fundamental and intuitive object in graph analysis that is useful not only mathematically but also for visualizing the structures of graphs. Because the appearance of an adjacency matrix is critically…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k < n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is called minimal if for any edge $e\in…
