We consider the following problem for a fixed graph H: given a graph G and two H-colorings of G, i.e. homomorphisms from G to H, can one be transformed (reconfigured) into the other by changing one color at a time, maintaining an H-coloring…

In order to support the real-time interaction with LLMs and the instant search or the instant recommendation on social media, it becomes an imminent problem to build a k-NN graph or an indexing graph for the massive number of vectorized…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a {\em homomorphism} from $G$ to $H$, or {\em $H$-coloring} of $G$, is an adjacency preserving map from the vertex set of $G$ to the vertex set of $H$. Writing ${\rm hom}(G,H)$ for the number of $H$-colorings…

For a hypergraph $G$, let $\chi(G), \Delta(G),$ and $\lambda(G)$ denote the chromatic number, the maximum degree, and the maximum local edge connectivity of $G$, respectively. A result of Rhys Price Jones from 1975 says that every connected…

For a simple graph G = (V, E), a coloring of vertices of G using two colors, say red and blue, is called a quasi neighborhood balanced coloring if, for every vertex of the graph, the number of red neighbors and the number of blue neighbors…

Data-driven neighborhood definitions and graph constructions are often used in machine learning and signal processing applications. k-nearest neighbor~(kNN) and $\epsilon$-neighborhood methods are among the most common methods used for…

For a positive integer $k$, a $k$-colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,...,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$ and $k$, whether a $k$-colouring…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two graphs, each one of them being a path, a cycle or a star. In this paper, we determine the $b$-chromatic number of every subdivision-vertex neighbourhood corona $G\boxdot H$ or $G\boxdot K_n$, where $K_n$ is the…

We study the complexity of graph modification problems with respect to homomorphism-based colouring properties of edge-coloured graphs. A homomorphism from edge-coloured graph $G$ to edge-coloured graph $H$ is a vertex-mapping from $G$ to…

The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…

The topological containment problem is known to be polynomial-time solvable for any fixed pattern graph $H$, but good characterisations have been found for only a handful of non-trivial pattern graphs. The complete graph on five vertices,…

Haj\'os' conjecture states that an Eulerian graph of order n can be decomposed into at most (n-1)/2 edge-disjoint cycles. We describe preprocessing steps, heuristics and integer programming techniques that enable us to verify Haj\'os'…

For a graph $H$, an $H$-colouring of a graph $G$ is a vertex map $\phi:V(G) \to V(H)$ such that adjacent vertices are mapped to adjacent vertices. A graph $G$ is $C_{2k+1}$-critical if $G$ has no $C_{2k+1}$-colouring but every proper…

In this paper we resolve the complexity of the isomorphism problem on all but finitely many of the graph classes characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs. To this end we develop new techniques applicable for the structural and…

We consider the structure of $H$-free subgraphs of graphs with high minimal degree. We prove that for every $k>m$ there exists an $\epsilon:=\epsilon(k,m)>0$ so that the following holds. For every graph $H$ with chromatic number $k$ from…

A vertex $v$ of a given graph is said to be in a rainbow neighbourhood of $G$ if every colour class of $G$ consists of at least one vertex from the closed neighbourhood $N[v]$. A maximal proper colouring of a graph $G$ is a Johan colouring…

This paper is devoted to the neighborhood complexes of the induced $k$-independent graphs. Inspired by the surprising correspondence between total $k$-cut complex of $n$-cycle $C_n$ and neighborhood complex of stable Kneser graph $SG(n,k)$,…

The generic homomorphism problem, which asks whether an input graph $G$ admits a homomorphism into a fixed target graph $H$, has been widely studied in the literature. In this article, we provide a fine-grained complexity classification of…

In this paper we study a pair of numerical parameters associated to a graph $G$. One the one hand, one can construct $\text{Hom}(K_2, G)$, a space of homomorphisms from a edge $K_2$ into $G$ and study its (topological) connectivity. This…

For a given finite class of finite graphs H, a graph G is called a realization of H if the neighbourhood of its any vertex induces the subgraph isomorphic to a graph of H. We consider the following problem known as the Generalized…
