Counting $(p,q)$-bicliques in bipartite graphs is crucial for a variety of applications, from recommendation systems to cohesive subgraph analysis. Yet, it remains computationally challenging due to the combinatorial explosion to exactly…
We study random two-component spanning forests ($2$SFs) of finite graphs, giving formulas for the first and second moments of the sizes of the components, vertex-inclusion probabilities for one or two vertices, and the probability that an…
In this paper, we give a bijection between rooted labeled ordered forests with a selected subset of their leaves and the regions of the type $C$ Catalan arrangement in $\R^n$. We thus obtain a bijective proof of the well-known enumeration…
Clique-width is one of the graph complexity measures leading to polynomial special-case algorithms for generally NP-complete problems, e.g. graph colourability. The best two currently known algorithms for verifying c-colourability of graphs…
The AHU-algorithm solves the computationally difficult graph isomorphism problem for rooted trees, and does so with a linear time complexity. Although the AHU-algorithm has remained state of the art for almost 50 years, it has been…
We establish closed-form enumeration formulas for chromatic feature vectors of 2-trees under the bichromatic triangle constraint. These efficiently computable structural features derive from constrained graph colorings where each triangle…
We present an efficient algorithm to compute permanents, mixed discriminants and hyperdeterminants of structured matrices and multidimensional arrays (tensors). We describe the sparsity structure of an array in terms of a graph, and we…
The clique-width is a measure of complexity of decomposing graphs into certain tree-like structures. The class of graphs with bounded clique-width contains bounded tree-width graphs. We give a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for…
The problem of computing the chromatic number of a $P_5$-free graph is known to be NP-hard. In contrast to this negative result, we show that determining whether or not a $P_5$-free graph admits a $k$-colouring, for each fixed number of…
State-space models are commonly used to describe different forms of ecological data. We consider the case of count data with observation errors. For such data the system process is typically multi-dimensional consisting of coupled Markov…
Treemaps have been widely applied to the visualization of hierarchical data. A treemap takes a weighted tree and visualizes its leaves in a nested planar geometric shape, with sub-regions partitioned such that each sub-region has an area…
The arc-routing problems are known to be notoriously hard. We study here a natural arc-routing problem on trees and more generally on bounded tree-width graphs and surprisingly show that it can be solved in a polynomial time. This implies a…
This work addresses an enumeration problem on weighted bi-colored plane trees with prescribed vertex data, with all vertices labeled distinctly. We give a bijection proof of the enumeration formula originally due to Kochetkov, hence…
We introduce a new method to construct uncountably chromatic graphs from non special trees and ladder systems. Answering a question of P. Erd\H{o}s and A. Hajnal from 1985, we construct graphs of chromatic number $\omega_1$ without…
Another facet of the elegant link between random processes on graphs and Laplacian-based numerical linear algebra is uncovered: based on random spanning forests, novel Monte-Carlo estimators for graph signal smoothing are proposed. These…
We prove a conjecture of Shteiner and Shteyner stating that for a bipartite graph $G=(V,E)$, the number of forests in $G$ equals the number of degree sequences arising from its spanning subgraphs. In the process, we provide several…
Unlabeled multigraphs have diverse applications across scientific fields, from transportation and social networks to polymer physics. In particular, multigraphs are essential for studying the relationship between the spatial organization…
We provide the first solution to the problem of counting rooted 3-connected bipartite planar maps. Our starting point is the enumeration of bicoloured planar maps according to the number of edges and monochromatic edges, following Bernardi…
For any connected multigraph $G=(V,E)$ and any $M\subseteq E$, if $M$ induces an acyclic subgraph of $G$ and removing all edges in $M$ yields a subgraph of $G$ whose components are complete graphs, a formula for $\tau_G(M)$ is obtained,…
Given a multigraph $G$ whose edges are colored from the set $[q]:=\{1,2,\ldots,q\}$ (\emph{$q$-colored graph}), and a vector $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{q}) \in \mathbb{N}^{q}$ (\emph{color-constraint}), a subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called…
