The maximum graph bisection problem is a well known graph partition problem. The problem has been proven to be NP-hard. In the maximum graph bisection problem it is required that the set of vertices is divided into two partition with equal…
For a connected graph, the distance spectral radius is the largest eigenvalue of its distance matrix, and the distance energy is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its distance matrix. We establish lower and…
Given a connected undirected weighted graph, we are concerned with problems related to partitioning the graph. First of all we look for the closest disconnected graph (the minimum cut problem), here with respect to the Euclidean norm. We…
We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of…
Let $D(G)$ denote the distance matrix of a connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The distance spectral gap of a graph $G$ is defined as $\delta_{D^G} = \rho_1 - \rho_2$, where $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ represent the largest and second largest…
Perfect matchings and maximum weight matchings are two fundamental combinatorial structures. We consider the ratio between the maximum weight of a perfect matching and the maximum weight of a general matching. Motivated by the computer…
Let $G$ be a graph with an even number of vertices. The matching preclusion number of $G$, denoted by $mp(G)$, is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves the resulting graph without a perfect matching. We introduced a $0$-$1$…
In this note, we consider the antibandwidth problem, also known as dual bandwidth problem, separation problem and maximum differential coloring problem. Given a labeled graph (i.e., a numbering of the vertices of a graph), the antibandwidth…
Graph alignment refers to the problem of finding a bijective mapping across vertices of two graphs such that, if two nodes are connected in the first graph, their images are connected in the second graph. This problem arises in many fields…
This paper is related to the problem of finding the maximal quasi-bicliques in a bipartite graph (bigraph). A quasi-biclique in the bigraph is its "almost" complete subgraph. The relaxation of completeness can be understood variously; here,…
