The classical, linear-time solvable Feedback Edge Set problem is concerned with finding a minimum number of edges intersecting all cycles in a (static, unweighted) graph. We provide a first study of this problem in the setting of temporal…
Every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices has an independent set of size at least (n+1)/3, and this lower bound is tight. We give an algorithm that, given a triangle-free planar graph G on n vertices and an integer k>=0, decides…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness of a graph attaining the maximum of the number of independent sets over all $k$-regular graphs on $n$ vertices for $2k|n$.
Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…
Inspired by a concept in comparative genomics, we investigate properties of randomly chosen members of G_1(m,n,t), the set of bipartite graphs with $m$ left vertices, n right vertices, t edges, and each vertex of degree at least one. We…
We study the $P_3$-convexity, the path convexity generated by all three-vertex paths, and focus on the problem of counting the $P_3$-convex vertex sets of a graph $G$, denoted by $\noc(G)$. First, we settle the associated extremal question:…
Independent sets play a key role into the study of graphs and important problems arising in graph theory reduce to them. We define the monomial ideal of independent sets associated to a finite simple graph and describe its homological and…
Graph reconstruction can efficiently detect the underlying topology of massive networks such as the Internet. Given a query oracle and a set of nodes, the goal is to obtain the edge set by performing as few queries as possible. An algorithm…
In several settings (e.g., sensor networks and social networks), nodes of a graph are equipped with initial opinions, and the goal is to estimate the average of these opinions using local operations. A natural algorithm to achieve this is…
Let $i_t(G)$ be the number of independent sets of size $t$ in a graph $G$. Alavi, Erd\H{o}s, Malde and Schwenk made the conjecture that if $G$ is a tree then the independent set sequence $\{i_t(G)\}_{t\geq 0}$ of $G$ is unimodal; Levit and…
An edge labeling of a graph distinguishes neighbors by sets (multisets, resp.), if for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ the sets (multisets, resp.) of labels appearing on edges incident to $u$ and $v$ are different. In an analogous way…
Let $r\ge 3$ be a fixed constant and let $ {\mathcal H}$ be an $r$-uniform, $D$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices. Assume further that $ D > N^\varepsilon $ for some $ \varepsilon>0 $. Consider the random greedy algorithm for forming an…
The paper shows that almost every $n$-vertex graph is such that the multiset of its induced subgraphs on $3 \log_2{n}$ vertices is sufficient to determine it up to isomorphism. Therefore, for checking the isomorphism of a pair of $n$-vertex…
We study the problem of learning a hypergraph via edge detecting queries. In this problem, a learner queries subsets of vertices of a hidden hypergraph and observes whether these subsets contain an edge or not. In general, learning a…
The independent set problem is NP-hard and particularly difficult to solve in large sparse graphs. In this work, we develop an advanced evolutionary algorithm, which incorporates kernelization techniques to compute large independent sets in…
For $n\geq 3$, let $r=r(n)\geq 3$ be an integer. A hypergraph is $r$-uniform if each edge is a set of $r$ vertices, and is said to be linear if two edges intersect in at most one vertex. In this paper, the number of linear $r$-uniform…
We propose data-driven one-pass streaming algorithms for estimating the number of triangles and four cycles, two fundamental problems in graph analytics that are widely studied in the graph data stream literature. Recently, (Hsu 2018) and…
We study the problem of learning an unknown graph provided via an oracle using a quantum algorithm. We consider three query models. In the first model ("OR queries"), the oracle returns whether a given subset of the vertices contains any…
Hypergraphs provide a natural way of representing group relations, whose complexity motivates an extensive array of prior work to adopt some form of abstraction and simplification of higher-order interactions. However, the following…
We address problem of determining edge weights on a graph using non-backtracking closed walks from a vertex. We show that the weights of all of the edges can be determined from any starting vertex exactly when the graph has minimum degree…
