Graph embedding algorithms are used to efficiently represent (encode) a graph in a low-dimensional continuous vector space that preserves the most important properties of the graph. One aspect that is often overlooked is whether the graph…

The complexity of graph homomorphism problems has been the subject of intense study. It is a long standing open problem to give a (decidable) complexity dichotomy theorem for the partition function of directed graph homomorphisms. In this…

Consider any locally checkable labeling problem $\Pi$ in rooted regular trees: there is a finite set of labels $\Sigma$, and for each label $x \in \Sigma$ we specify what are permitted label combinations of the children for an internal node…

An ordered graph is a graph enhanced with a linear order on the vertex set. An ordered graph is a core if it does not have an order-preserving homomorphism to a proper subgraph. We say that $H$ is the core of $G$ if (i) $H$ is a core, (ii)…

We propose the Tikhonov layer, a graph neural network layer that is interpretable by design: once trained, its learned parameters directly reveal which node features and which aspects of the graph topology were leveraged for prediction. In…

Let $T$ be a set, of {\em types}, and let $\iota,o:T\to\oZ_+$. A {\em $T$-diagram} is a locally ordered directed graph $G$ equipped with a function $\tau:V(G)\to T$ such that each vertex $v$ of $G$ has indegree $\iota(\tau(v))$ and…

A graph is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length four or more. While finite chordal graphs are precisely those admitting tree-decompositions into cliques, this fails for infinite graphs. We establish two results extending the…

Tiered graph autoencoders provide the architecture and mechanisms for learning tiered latent representations and latent spaces for molecular graphs that explicitly represent and utilize groups (e.g., functional groups). This enables the…

Assume $k$ is a positive integer, $\lambda=\{k_1, k_2, \ldots, k_q\}$ is a partition of $k$ and $G$ is a graph. A $\lambda$-list assignment of $G$ is a $k$-list assignment $L$ of $G$ such that the colour set $\cup_{v\in V(G)}L(v)$ can be…

Understanding what graph neural networks can learn, especially their ability to learn to execute algorithms, remains a central theoretical challenge. In this work, we prove exact learnability results for graph algorithms under…

We view the determinant and permanent as functions on directed weighted graphs and introduce their analogues for the undirected graphs. We prove that the task of computing the undirected determinants as well as permanents for planar graphs,…

Over recent years there has been much interest in both Tur\'an and Ramsey properties of vertex ordered graphs. In this paper we initiate the study of embedding spanning structures into vertex ordered graphs. In particular, we introduce a…

The question of 'what can be computed locally?' lies at the heart of distributed computing in networks. As established in Naor and Stockmeyer's seminal paper (STOC 1993), this question is undecidable, even for graph problems whose solutions…

We investigate structural implications arising from the condition that a given directed graph does not interpret, in the sense of primitive positive interpretation with parameters or orbits, every finite structure. Our results generalize…

Motivated by the definition of linear coloring on simplicial complexes, recently introduced in the context of algebraic topology \cite{Civan}, and the framework through which it was studied, we introduce the linear coloring on graphs. We…

The guessing number of a directed graph (digraph), equivalent to the entropy of that digraph, was introduced as a direct criterion on the solvability of a network coding instance. This paper makes two contributions on the guessing number.…
