Let $G$ be a bridgeless cubic graph. Consider a list of $k$ 1-factors of $G$. Let $E_i$ be the set of edges contained in precisely $i$ members of the $k$ 1-factors. Let $\mu_k(G)$ be the smallest $|E_0|$ over all lists of $k$ 1-factors of…
I introduce a new approach to the maximum flow problem by a simple algorithm with a slightly better runtime. This approach is based on sorting arcs insight of vertices on a residual graph. This new approach leads to an O(mn^0.5) time bound…
Let $G$ be a connected bridgeless $(n,m)$-graph which may have loops and multiedges, and let $F(G,t)$ denote the flow polynomial of $G$. Dong and Koh \cite{Dong1} established an upper bound for the absolute value of coefficient $c_{i}$ of…
Total Flow Analysis (TFA) is a method for conducting the worst-case analysis of time sensitive networks without cyclic dependencies. In networks with cyclic dependencies, Fixed-Point TFA introduces artificial cuts, analyses the resulting…
In this paper we introduce the branched $\alpha$-flows on closed surfaces with Euler characteristic \(\chi \leq 0\). Based on the strict convexity of the branched $\alpha$-potentials, we establish the long time existence and convergence of…
We show that by restricting the degrees of the vertices of a graph to an arbitrary set \( \Delta \), the threshold point $ \alpha(\Delta) $ of the phase transition for a random graph with $ n $ vertices and $ m = \alpha(\Delta) n $ edges…
Motivated by bit threads, we introduce a new prescription for computing entropy vectors outside the holographic entropy cone. By utilizing cycle flows on directed graphs, we show that the maximum cycle flow associated to any subset of…
A graph $\mathcal{H}=(W,E_\mathcal{H})$ is said to have {\em bandwidth} at most $b$ if there exists a labeling of $W$ as $w_1,w_2,\dots,w_n$ such that $|i-j|\leq b$ for every edge $w_iw_j\in E_\mathcal{H}$. We say that $\mathcal{H}$ is a…
The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…
The study of nonplanar drawings of graphs with restricted crossing configurations is a well-established topic in graph drawing, often referred to as beyond-planar graph drawing. One of the most studied types of drawings in this area are the…
We study the impact of forbidding short cycles to the edge density of $k$-planar graphs; a $k$-planar graph is one that can be drawn in the plane with at most $k$ crossings per edge. Specifically, we consider three settings, according to…
Vesicles are becoming a quite popular model for the study of red blood cells (RBCs). This is a free boundary problem which is rather difficult to handle theoretically. Quantitative computational approaches constitute also a challenge. In…
Kochol introduced the assigning polynomial $F(G,\alpha;k)$ to count nowhere-zero $(A,b)$-flows of a graph $G$, where $A$ is a finite Abelian group and $\alpha$ is a $\{0,1\}$-assigning from a family $\Lambda(G)$ of certain nonempty vertex…
Given a zero-sum function $\beta : V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_3$ with $\sum_{v\in V(G)}\beta(v)=0$, an orientation $D$ of $G$ with $d^+_D(v)-d^-_D(v)= \beta(v)$ in $\mathbb{Z}_3$ for every vertex $v\in V(G)$ is called a…
We introduce graph width parameters, called $\alpha$-edge-crossing width and edge-crossing width. These are defined in terms of the number of edges crossing a bag of a tree-cut decomposition. They are motivated by edge-cut width, recently…
A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…
There has been recent growing interest in graph theoretical properties known as r- and (r,s)-robustness. These properties serve as sufficient conditions guaranteeing the success of certain consensus algorithms in networks with misbehaving…
In this note we reprove a theorem of Gromov using Ricci flow. The theorem states that a, possibly non-constant, lower bound on the scalar curvature is stable under $C^0$-convergence of the metric.
If K is an odd-dimensional flag closed manifold, flag generalized homology sphere or a more general flag weak pseudomanifold with sufficiently many vertices, then the maximal number of edges in K is achieved by the balanced join of cycles.…
We introduce a notion of a girth-regular graph as a $k$-regular graph for which there exists a non-descending sequence $(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k)$ (called the signature) giving, for every vertex $u$ of the graph, the number of girth cycles the…
