We study a large family of graph covering problems, whose definitions rely on distances, for graphs of bounded cyclomatic number (that is, the minimum number of edges that need to be removed from the graph to destroy all cycles). These…
We investigate the problem of constructing planar drawings with few bends for two related problems, the partially embedded graph problem---to extend a straight-line planar drawing of a subgraph to a planar drawing of the whole graph---and…
In extension problems of partial graph drawings one is given an incomplete drawing of an input graph $G$ and is asked to complete the drawing while maintaining certain properties. A prominent area where such problems arise is that of…
Given an infinite connected graph $G$, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges of the graph, a process called first-passage percolation. Assume that the graph is infinite and of bounded degree.…
The crossing number is the smallest number of pairwise edge-crossings when drawing a graph into the plane. There are only very few graph classes for which the exact crossing number is known or for which there at least exist constant…
It is well known that any graph admits a crossing-free straight-line drawing in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and that any planar graph admits the same even in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a graph $G$ and $d \in \{2,3\}$, let $\rho^1_d(G)$ denote the smallest…
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of $n$ disks in the plane. The disk graph $G_\mathcal{D}$ for $\mathcal{D}$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $\mathcal{D}$ in which two disks are joined by an edge if and only if they intersect. The…
Many modern data analysis algorithms either assume or are considerably more efficient if the distances between the data points satisfy a metric. These algorithms include metric learning, clustering, and dimension reduction. As real data…
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…
Bundling crossings is a strategy which can enhance the readability of drawings. In this paper we consider good drawings, i.e., we require that any two edges have at most one common point which can be a common vertex or a crossing. Our main…
In the Minimum Clique Routing Problem on Cycles \textsc{MCRPC} we are given a cycle together with a set of demands (weighted origin-destination pairs) and the goal is to route all the pairs minimizing the maximum weighted clique of the…
The \emph{thinness} of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Graphs with thinness at most two include, for example, bipartite convex graphs. Many…
A transitive graph is 2-dimensional if it can be represented as the intersection of two linear orders. Such representations make answering of reachability queries trivial, and allow many problems that are NP-hard on arbitrary graphs to be…
We propose a novel optimization-based approach to embedding heterogeneous high-dimensional data characterized by a graph. The goal is to create a two-dimensional visualization of the graph structure such that edge-crossings are minimized…
We study approaches for the exact solution of the \NP--hard minimum spanning tree problem under conflict constraints. Given a graph $G(V,E)$ and a set $C \subset E \times E$ of conflicting edge pairs, the problem consists of finding a…
A minimum cycle basis of a weighted undirected graph $G$ is a basis of the cycle space of $G$ such that the total weight of the cycles in this basis is minimized. If $G$ is a planar graph with non-negative edge weights, such a basis can be…
A graph is circle if there is a family of chords in a circle such that two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding chords cross each other. There are diverse characterizations of circle graphs, many of them using the notions of local…
Our purpose is to study the family of simple undirected graphs whose toric ideal is a complete intersection from both an algorithmic and a combinatorial point of view. We obtain a polynomial time algorithm that, given a graph $G$, checks…
Solving optimization problems leads to elegant and practical solutions in a wide variety of real-world applications. In many of those real-world applications, some of the information required to specify the relevant optimization problem is…
A graph $G$ is said to be the intersection of graphs $G_1,G_2,\ldots,G_k$ if $V(G)=V(G_1)=V(G_2)=\cdots=V(G_k)$ and $E(G)=E(G_1)\cap E(G_2)\cap\cdots\cap E(G_k)$. For a graph $G$, $\mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)$ (resp. $\mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)$)…
