We propose an algorithm for solving of the graph isomorphism problem. Also, we introduce the new class of graphs for which the graph isomorphism problem can be solved polynomially using the algorithm.

The Satisfactory Partition problem consists in deciding if the set of vertices of a given undirected graph can be partitioned into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neighbours in its part as in the other part.…

The paper focuses on two problems: (i) how to orient the edges of an undirected graph in order to maximize the number of ordered vertex pairs (x,y) such that there is a directed path from x to y, and (ii) how to orient the edges so as to…

A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show the surprising fact that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. A graph is 1-planar if it has a drawing where every…

Defeasible reasoning is the mode of reasoning where conclusions can be overturned by taking into account new evidence. A commonly used method in cognitive science and logic literature is to handcraft argumentation supporting inference…

Computing a morph between two drawings of a graph is a classical problem in computational geometry and graph drawing. While this problem has been widely studied in the context of planar graphs, very little is known about the existence of…

A graph is a mathematical object consisting of a set of vertices and a set of edges connecting vertices. Graphs can be drawn on paper in various ways, but until recently all published methods of drawing graphs have had undesirable…

NP-complete problems should be hard on some instances but those may be extremely rare. On generic instances many such problems, especially related to random graphs, have been proven easy. We show the intractability of random instances of a…

Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…

A (k, g) graph is a graph with regular degree k and girth g. The cage problem refers to finding the smallest (k, g) graph. The (3, 14) cage problem is known to be unresolved. In 2002, Exoo found a (3, 14) record graph with order 384. The…

Three new graph invariants are introduced which may be measured from a quantum graph state and form examples of a framework under which other graph invariants can be constructed. Each invariant is based on distinguishing a different number…

The cage problem concerns finding $(k,g)$-graphs, which are $k$-regular graphs with girth $g$, of the smallest possible number of vertices. The central goal is to determine $n(k,g)$, the minimum order of such a graph, and to identify…

We study the problem of partitioning the edge set of the complete graph into bipartite subgraphs under certain constraints defined by forbidden subgraphs. These constraints lead to both classical problems, such as partitioning into…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called proper if no two consecutive edges of the path receive the same color. For a connected graph $G$, the proper connection number $pc(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of colors needed to…
