In line with the recent development in topological graph theory, we are considering undirected graphs that are allowed to contain {\em multiple edges}, {\em loops}, and {\em semi-edges}. A graph is called {\em simple} if it contains no…

An \emph{outer-string representation} of a graph $G$ is an intersection representation of $G$ where vertices are represented by curves (strings) inside the unit disk and each curve has exactly one endpoint on the boundary of the unit disk…

Graph are a ubiquitous data representation, as they represent a flexible and compact representation. For instance, the 3D structure of RNA can be efficiently represented as $\textit{2.5D graphs}$, graphs whose nodes are nucleotides and…

We study unit disk visibility graphs, where the visibility relation between a pair of geometric entities is defined by not only obstacles, but also the distance between them. That is, two entities are not mutually visible if they are too…

The representation of graphs is commonly based on the adjacency matrix concept. This formulation is the foundation of most algebraic and computational approaches to graph processing. The advent of deep learning language models offers a wide…

Visibility graph reconstruction, which asks us to construct a polygon that has a given visibility graph, is a fundamental problem with unknown complexity (although visibility graph recognition is known to be in PSPACE). We show that two…

We show NP-completeness for several planar variants of the monotone satisfiability problem with bounded variable appearances. With one exception the presented variants have an associated bipartite graph where the vertex degree is bounded by…

We propose a new representation of $k$-partite, $k$-uniform hypergraphs, that is, a hypergraph with a partition of vertices into $k$ parts such that each hyperedge contains exactly one vertex of each type; we call them $k$-hypergraphs for…

It is well-known that the Vertex Cover problem is in P on bipartite graphs, however; the computational complexity of the Partial Vertex Cover problem on bipartite graphs is open. In this paper, we first show that the Partial Vertex Cover…

In this paper, we determine the computational complexity of recognizing two graph classes, \emph{grounded L}-graphs and \emph{stabbable grid intersection} graphs. An L-shape is made by joining the bottom end-point of a vertical ($\vert$)…

We prove a sharp representation stability result for graph complexes with a distinguished vertex, and prove that the chains realizing this sharp bound pass to non-trivial families of graph homology classes. This result may be interpreted as…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ with vertex weights $w(v)$ and a desired number of parts $k$, the goal in graph partitioning problems is to partition the vertex set V into parts $V_1,\ldots,V_k$. Metrics for compactness, contiguity, and balance…
