The classical Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa theorem states that for each positive integer k there is an f(k) such that, in each graph G which does not have k+1 disjoint cycles, there is a blocker of size at most f(k); that is, a set B of at most f(k)…

A cover of a graph $G$ is a graph $H$ with vertex set $V(H) = \bigcup_{v \in V(G)} L_{v}$, where $L_{v} = \{v\} \times [s]$, and the edge set $M = \bigcup_{uv \in E(G)} M_{uv}$, where $M_{uv}$ is a matching between $L_{u}$ and $L_{v}$. A…

We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a regular graph is a partition of its edge set into Hamiltonian cycles. The problem of finding edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in a given regular graph has many applications in combinatorial optimization and…

Functional graphs (FGs) model the graph structures used to analyse the behaviour of functions from a discrete set to itself. In turn, such functions are used to study real complex phenomena evolving in time. As the systems involved can be…

Let $f$ be a nonnegative integer valued function on the vertex set of a graph. A graph is \textbf{strictly $f$-degenerate} if each nonempty subgraph $\Gamma$ has a vertex $v$ such that $\mathrm{deg}_{\Gamma}(v) < f(v)$. In this paper, we…

A celebrated theorem of Stiebitz asserts that any graph with minimum degree at least $s+t+1$ can be partitioned into two parts which induce two subgraphs with minimum degree at least $s$ and $t$, respectively. This resolved a conjecture of…

In this paper, our goal is to characterize two graph classes based on the properties of minimal vertex (edge) separators. We first present a structural characterization of graphs in which every minimal vertex separator is a stable set. We…

A classical branch of graph algorithms is graph transversals, where one seeks a minimum-weight subset of nodes in a node-weighted graph $G$ which intersects all copies of subgraphs~$F$ from a fixed family $\mathcal F$. Many such graph…

A graph $\textit{G}$ is a tuple $(\textit{V}, \textit{E})$, where $\textit{V}$ is the vertex set, $\textit{E}$ is the edge set. A reduced graph is a graph of deleting non-Hamiltonian edges and smoothing out the redundant vertices of degree…

Discrete-time switched linear systems where switchings are governed by a digraph are considered. The minimum (or average) dwell time that guarantees the asymptotic stability can be computed by calculating the maximum cycle ratio (or maximum…

We give a structural description of the class $\cal C$ of graphs that do not contain a cycle with a unique chord as an induced subgraph. Our main theorem states that any connected graph in $\cal C$ is either in some simple basic class or…

One way to certify that a graph does not contain an induced cycle of length six is to provide a partition of its vertex set into (i) a stable set, and (ii) a graph containing no stable set of size three and no induced matching of size two.…

The cycles are the only $2$-connected graphs in which any two nonadjacent vertices form a vertex cut. We generalize this fact by proving that for every integer $k\ge 3$ there exists a unique graph $G$ satisfying the following conditions:…

We investigate a scalable $M$-channel critically sampled filter bank for graph signals, where each of the $M$ filters is supported on a different subband of the graph Laplacian spectrum. For analysis, the graph signal is filtered on each…

For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_{2}(G)$ be the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A chord of a cycle in a graph $G$ is an edge of $G$ joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove the following…

Graph filters are one of the core tools in graph signal processing. A central aspect of them is their direct distributed implementation. However, the filtering performance is often traded with distributed communication and computational…

Simple cycles on a digraph form a trace monoid under the rule that two such cycles commute if and only if they are vertex disjoint. This rule describes the spatial configuration of simple cycles on the digraph. Cartier and Foata have showed…

A set of vertices of a graph $G$ is said to be decycling if its removal leaves an acyclic subgraph. The size of a smallest decycling set is the decycling number of $G$. Generally, at least $\lceil(n+2)/4\rceil$ vertices have to be removed…

We generalise a fundamental graph-theoretical fact, stating that every element of the cycle space of a graph is a sum of edge-disjoint cycles, to arbitrary continua. To achieve this we replace graph cycles by topological circles, and…
