A method for considering a weighted directed graph with an accuracy of up to a given partition of the set of vertices is proposed. The resulting digraph (the splitting graph) does not contain arcs inside each partition element, and the arcs…
A weighted graph is a graph in which every edge is assigned a non-negative real number. In a weighted graph, the weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its edges, and the weighed degree of a vertex is the sum of the weights of the…
We study the problem of detecting the edge correlation between two random graphs with $n$ unlabeled nodes. This is formalized as a hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are independently generated;…
How to draw the vertices of a complete multipartite graph $G$ on different points of a bounded $d$-dimensional integer grid, such that the sum of squared distances between vertices of $G$ is (i) minimized or (ii) maximized? For both…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a strongly connected graph with $|V|\geq 3$. For $T\subseteq V$, the strongly connected graph $G$ is $2$-T-connected if $G$ is $2$-edge-connected and for each vertex $w$ in $T$, $w$ is not a strong articulation point. This…
Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider a relaxed version of this problem in the setting of local algorithms. The relaxation is that the constructed subgraph is a sparse spanning…
In this paper, we analyze embeddings of grid graphs on orientable surfaces. We determine the genus of a large class of k-dimensional grid graphs and effective two-sided bounds for the genus of any 3-dimensional grid graph, both in terms of…
The leafage l(G) of a chordal graph G is the minimum number of leaves of a tree in which G has an intersection representation by subtrees. We obtain upper and lower bounds on l(G) and compute it on special classes. The maximum of l(G) on…
We study random $k$-connected chordal graphs with bounded tree-width. Our main results are scaling limits and quenched local limits.
The Dulmage--Mendelsohn decomposition (or the DM-decomposition) gives a unique partition of the vertex set of a bipartite graph reflecting the structure of all the maximum matchings therein. A bipartite graph is said to be DM-irreducible if…
An extension of the well-known Szeged index was introduced recently, named as weighted Szeged index ($\textrm{sz}(G)$). This paper is devoted to characterizing the extremal trees and graphs of this new topological invariant. In particular,…
In this study, we address the complex issue of graph clustering in signed graphs, which are characterized by positive and negative weighted edges representing attraction and repulsion among nodes, respectively. The primary objective is to…
The widely studied edge modification problems ask how to minimally alter a graph to satisfy certain structural properties. In this paper, we introduce and study a new edge modification problem centered around transforming a given graph into…
In a complete graph $K_n$ with edge weights drawn independently from a uniform distribution $U(0,1)$ (or alternatively an exponential distribution $\operatorname{Exp}(1)$), let $T_1$ be the MST (the spanning tree of minimum weight) and let…
Suppose that the edges of a complete graph are assigned weights independently at random and we ask for the weight of the minimal-weight spanning tree, or perfect matching, or Hamiltonian cycle. For these and several other common…
The basic goal of survivable network design is to construct low-cost networks which preserve a sufficient level of connectivity despite the failure or removal of a few nodes or edges. One of the most basic problems in this area is the…
We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…
Let $G$ be a graph having a vertex $v$ such that $H = G - v$ is a trivially perfect graph. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of deciding whether it is possible to add at most $k$ edges to $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect…
The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without an isolated edge can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general. We prove that every…
We study set systems formed by neighborhoods in graphs of bounded twin-width. We start by proving that such graphs have linear neighborhood complexity, in analogy to previous results concerning graphs from classes with bounded expansion and…
