Assume that there is a free group action of automorphisms on a bipartite graph. If there is a perfect matching on the factor graph, then obviously there is a perfect matching on the graph. Surprisingly, the reversed is also true for…

A matching in a hypergraph $H$ is a set of pairwise disjoint hyperedges. The matching number $\alpha'(H)$ of $H$ is the size of a maximum matching in $H$. A subset $D$ of vertices of $H$ is a dominating set of $H$ if for every $v\in…

In this paper, we propose a novel hypergraph based method (called HF) to fit and segment multi-structural data. The proposed HF formulates the geometric model fitting problem as a hypergraph partition problem based on a novel hypergraph…

We study the graphs formed from instances of the stable matching problem by connecting pairs of elements with an edge when there exists a stable matching in which they are matched. Our results include the NP-completeness of recognizing…

We define an algebraic setup of homology for hypergraphs, which defaults to simplicial homology in the case of graphs, and study its basic properties. As part of our study we define algebraic spanning trees of hypergraphs, along with…

For bipartite graphs the NP-completeness is proved for the problem of existence of maximum matching which removal leads to a graph with given lower(upper)bound for the cardinality of its maximum matching.

The primary objective of graph pattern matching is to find all appearances of an input graph pattern query in a large data graph. Such appearances are called matches. In this paper, we are interested in finding matches of interaction…
