An upper dominating set in a graph is a minimal (with respect to set inclusion) dominating set of maximum cardinality. The problem of finding an upper dominating set is generally NP-hard. We study the complexity of this problem in classes…
The 3-coloring of hereditary graph classes has been a deeply-researched problem in the last decade. A hereditary graph class is characterized by a (possibly infinite) list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs $H_1,H_2,\ldots$; the graphs…
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…
Grammar inference deals with determining (preferable simple) models/grammars consistent with a set of observations. There is a large body of research on grammar inference within the theory of formal languages. However, there is surprisingly…
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 show a dichotomy for the size of the smallest identifying code in classes…
We show that for any natural number $s$, there is a constant $\gamma$ and a subgraph-closed class having, for any natural $n$, at most $\gamma^n$ graphs on $n$ vertices up to isomorphism, but no adjacency labeling scheme with labels of size…
A class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs is called hereditary if it is closed under taking induced subgraphs. We denote by $G^{epex}$ the class of graphs that are at most one edge away from being in $\mathcal{G}$. We note that $G^{epex}$ is…
For any hereditary graph class $F$, we construct optimal adjacency labeling schemes for the classes of subgraphs and induced subgraphs of Cartesian products of graphs in $F$. As a consequence, we show that, if $F$ admits efficient adjacency…
In recent years several compressed indexes based on variants of the Burrows-Wheeler transformation have been introduced. Some of these index structures far more complex than a single string, as was originally done with the FM-index…
The class of quasi-chain graphs is an extension of the well-studied class of chain graphs. This latter class enjoys many nice and important properties, such as bounded clique-width, implicit representation, well-quasi-ordering by induced…
With the wide-spread availability of complex relational data, semi-supervised node classification in graphs has become a central machine learning problem. Graph neural networks are a recent class of easy-to-train and accurate methods for…
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…
Augustine et al. [DISC 2022] initiated the study of distributed graph algorithms in the presence of Byzantine nodes in the congested clique model. In this model, there is a set $B$ of Byzantine nodes, where $|B|$ is less than a third of the…
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…
The Union Closed Sets Conjecture is one of the most renowned problems in combinatorics. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of its statement contrasted with the potential complexity of its resolution. The conjecture posits that, in any union…
The Graded Classification Conjecture (GCC) states that the pointed $K_0^{\operatorname{gr}}$-group is a complete invariant of the Leavitt path algebras of finite graphs when these algebras are considered with their natural grading by…
The problem of computing all maximal induced subgraphs of a graph G that have a graph property P, also called the maximal P-subgraphs problem, is considered. This problem is studied for hereditary, connected-hereditary and rooted-hereditary…
The literature on word-representable graphs is quite rich, and a number of variations of the original definition have been proposed over the years. We are initiating a systematic study of such variations based on formal languages. In our…
We prove a characterization of all polynomial-time computable queries on the class of interval graphs by sentences of fixed-point logic with counting. More precisely, it is shown that on the class of unordered interval graphs, any query is…
Baker devised a powerful technique to obtain approximation schemes for various problems restricted to planar graphs. Her technique can be directly extended to various other graph classes, among the most general ones the graphs avoiding a…
