Many real-world networks, such as transportation or trade networks, are dynamic in the sense that the edge set may change over time, but these changes are known in advance. This behavior is captured by the temporal graphs model, which has…

Conventional static knowledge graphs model entities in relational data as nodes, connected by edges of specific relation types. However, information and knowledge evolve continuously, and temporal dynamics emerge, which are expected to…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda:E\to 2^{\mathbb{N}}$ a mapping that assigns to every edge a non-empty set of integer labels (times). Such a graph is {\em temporally connected} if a path exists with…

A temporal graph ${\cal G}$ is a graph that changes with time. More specifically, it is a pair $(G, \lambda)$ where $G$ is a graph and $\lambda$ is a function on the edges of $G$ that describes when each edge $e\in E(G)$ is active. Given…
