Subgraph matching is a compute-intensive problem that asks to enumerate all the isomorphic embeddings of a query graph within a data graph. This problem is generally solved with backtracking, which recursively evolves every possible partial…

The planted densest subgraph detection problem refers to the task of testing whether in a given (random) graph there is a subgraph that is unusually dense. Specifically, we observe an undirected and unweighted graph on $n$ vertices. Under…

We study a problem of reconstruction of connected graphs where the input gives all subsets of size k that induce a connected subgraph. Originally introduced by Bastide et al. (WG 2023) for triples ($k=3$), this problem received…

Computing cohesive subgraphs is a central problem in graph theory. While many formulations of cohesive subgraphs lead to NP-hard problems, finding a densest subgraph can be done in polynomial time. As such, the densest subgraph model has…

In the List $k$-Coloring problem we are given a graph whose every vertex is equipped with a list, which is a subset of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$. We need to decide if $G$ admits a proper coloring, where every vertex receives a color from its list.…

Recently, one has seen a surge of interest in developing such methods including ones for learning such representations for (undirected) graphs (while preserving important properties). However, most of the work to date on embedding graphs…
