The stable matching problem is a prototype model in economics and social sciences where agents act selfishly to optimize their own satisfaction, subject to mutually conflicting constraints. A stable matching is a pairing of adjacent…

The Planar Contraction problem is to test whether a given graph can be made planar by using at most k edge contractions. This problem is known to be NP-complete. We show that it is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k.

To any graph we associate a sequence of integers called the gonality sequence of the graph, consisting of the minimum degrees of divisors of increasing rank on the graph. This is a tropical analogue of the gonality sequence of an algebraic…

The scramble number of a graph, a natural generalization of bramble number, is an invariant recently developed to study chip-firing games and graph gonality. We introduce the carton number of a graph, defined to be the minimum size of a…

The Fibonacci index of a graph is the number of its stable sets. This parameter is widely studied and has applications in chemical graph theory. In this paper, we establish tight upper bounds for the Fibonacci index in terms of the…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathrm{R}^2$, and let $\mathrm{DT}(P)$ denote its Euclidean Delaunay triangulation. We introduce the notion of an edge of $\mathrm{DT}(P)$ being {\it stable}. Defined in terms of a parameter $\alpha>0$, a…

A conditional independence graph is a concise representation of pairwise conditional independence among many variables. Graphical Random Forests (GRaFo) are a novel method for estimating pairwise conditional independence relationships among…

A graph $X$ is said to be unstable if the direct product $X\times K_2$ (also called the canonical double cover of $X$) has automorphisms that do not come from automorphisms of its factors $X$ and $K_2$. It is non-trivially unstable if it is…

We introduce and study a generalization of conformal rigidity for graphs. A graph is $k$-conformally rigid if the uniform edge weights simultaneously maximize the sum of the $k$ smallest nontrivial Laplacian eigenvalues and minimize the sum…

The reliability polynomial of a graph gives the probability that a graph remains operational when all its edges could fail independently with a certain fixed probability. In general, the problem of finding uniformly most reliable graphs…

Given a graph $G$ whose edges are perfectly reliable and whose nodes each operate independently with probability $p\in[0,1],$ the node reliability of $G$ is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational…

A typical result in graph theory says that a graph $G$, satisfying certain conditions, has some property $\cal P$. Once such a theorem is established, it is natural to ask how strongly $G$ satisfies $\cal P$. Can one strengthen the result…

A maniplex of rank n s an n-valent properly edge-coloured graph that generalises, simultaneously, maps on surfaces and abstract polytopes. The problem of stability in maniplexes is a natural variant of the problem of stability in graphs. A…

Graph structure learning aims to learn connectivity in a graph from data. It is particularly important for many computer vision related tasks since no explicit graph structure is available for images for most cases. A natural way to…
