The paper considers the NP-hard graph vertex coloring problem, which differs from traditional problems in which it is required to color vertices with a given (or minimal) number of colors so that adjacent vertices have different colors. In…

Flat origami studies straight line, planar graphs $C=(V,E)$ drawn on a region $R\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ that can act as crease patterns to map, or fold, $R$ into $\mathbb{R}^2$ in a way that is continuous and a piecewise isometry exactly on…

Graph coloring, also known as vertex coloring, considers the problem of assigning colors to the nodes of a graph such that adjacent nodes do not share the same color. The optimization version of the problem concerns the minimization of the…

We give a linear-time algorithm to decide 3-colorability (and find a 3-coloring, if it exists) of quadrangulations of a fixed surface. The algorithm also allows to prescribe the coloring for a bounded number of vertices.

We study a graph coloring problem motivated by a fun Sudoku-style puzzle. Given a bipartition of the edges of a graph into {\em near} and {\em far} sets and an integer threshold $t$, a {\em threshold-coloring} of the graph is an assignment…

We find a closed-form expression for the Poisson's coefficient of curved-crease variants of the ``Miura ori'' origami tessellation. This is done by explicitly constructing a continuous one-parameter family of isometric piecewise-smooth…

In mathematical phylogenetics, evolutionary relationships are often represented by trees and networks. The latter are typically used whenever the relationships cannot be adequately described by a tree, which happens when so-called…

We propose and investigate a unifying class of sparse random graph models, based on a hidden coloring of edge-vertex incidences, extending an existing approach, Random graphs with a given degree distribution, in a way that admits a…

We show that any planar drawing of a forest of three stars whose vertices are constrained to be at fixed vertex locations may require $\Omega(n^\frac{2}{3})$ edges each having $\Omega(n^\frac{1}{3})$ bends in the worst case. The lower bound…

We combine the idea of confluent drawings with Sugiyama style drawings, in order to reduce the edge crossings in the resultant drawings. Furthermore, it is easier to understand the structures of graphs from the mixed style drawings. The…

In the Colored Clustering problem, one is asked to cluster edge-colored (hyper-)graphs whose colors represent interaction types. More specifically, the goal is to select as many edges as possible without choosing two edges that share an…

We consider a generalized version of the correlation clustering problem, defined as follows. Given a complete graph $G$ whose edges are labeled with $+$ or $-$, we wish to partition the graph into clusters while trying to avoid errors: $+$…

One of the most important combinatorial optimization problems is graph coloring. There are several variations of this problem involving additional constraints either on vertices or edges. They constitute models for real applications, such…
