I answer an open question left by Gui-Song Li in "On self-intersections of immersed surfaces" (AMS Proceedings, Volume 126, 1998, pp.3721-3726.) The intersection graph $M(i)$ of a generic surface $i:F \to S^3$ is the set of values which are…
We study the minimum cut problem in the presence of uncertainty and show how to apply a novel robust optimization approach, which aims to exploit the similarity in subsequent graph measurements or similar graph instances, without posing any…
We study graph classes modeled by families of non-crossing (NC) connected sets. Two classic graph classes in this context are disk graphs and proper interval graphs. We focus on the cases when the sets are paths and the host is a tree…
A \emph{Stick graph} is an intersection graph of axis-aligned segments such that the left end-points of the horizontal segments and the bottom end-points of the vertical segments lie on a `ground line,' a line with slope $-1$. It is an open…
An interval graph is the intersection graph of a finite set of intervals on a line and a circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a finite set of arcs on a circle. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of interval…
In this paper we extend the work of Rautenbach and Szwarcfiter by giving a structural characterization of graphs that can be represented by the intersection of unit intervals that may or may not contain their endpoints. A characterization…
As two fundamental problems, graph cuts and graph matching have been investigated over decades, resulting in vast literature in these two topics respectively. However the way of jointly applying and solving graph cuts and matching receives…
We introduce and study the concept which we call the splitting of a graph and compare algebraic properties of the edge ideals of graphs and those of their splitting graphs.
A matching-cut of a graph is an edge cut that is a matching. The problem Matching-Cut is that of recognizing graphs with a matching-cut and is NP-complete, even if the graph belongs to one of a number of classes. We initiate the study of…
This work studies certain aspects of graphs embedded on surfaces. Initially, a colored graph model for a map of a graph on a surface is developed. Then, a concept analogous to (and extending) planar graph is introduced in the same spirit as…
We prove that there is an algorithm to determine if a given finite graph is an induced subgraph of a given curve graph.
The $\gamma$-graph of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are labelled by the minimum dominating sets of $G$, in which two vertices are adjacent when their corresponding minimum dominating sets (each of size $\gamma(G)$) intersect in a…
We study limits of convergent sequences of string graphs, that is, graphs with an intersection representation consisting of curves in the plane. We use these results to study the limiting behavior of a sequence of random string graphs. We…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
For a given graph $\mathcal{G}$ of order $n$ with $m$ edges, and a real symmetric matrix associated to the graph, $M\left(\mathcal{G}\right)\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, the interlacing graph reduction problem is to find a graph…
Consider two horizontal lines in the plane. A pair of a point on the top line and an interval on the bottom line defines a triangle between two lines. The intersection graph of such triangles is called a simple-triangle graph. This paper…
In this paper, we introduce a matrix for a mixed graph, called the integrated adjacency matrix. This matrix uniquely determines a mixed graph, as long as the indices of the matrix are specified. Additionally, we associate an (undirected)…
An intersection graph of curves in the plane is called a string graph. Matousek almost completely settled a conjecture of the authors by showing that every string graph of m edges admits a vertex separator of size O(\sqrt{m}\log m). In the…
In this paper we consider the concept of preintersection numbers of a graph. These numbers are determined by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph, and generalize the intersection numbers of a distance-regular graph. By using…
Given a set of nonempty subsets of some universal set, their intersection graph is defined as the graph with one vertex for each set and two vertices are adjacent precisely when their representing sets have non-empty intersection. Sometimes…
