Social and information networks are gaining huge popularity recently due to their various applications. Knowledge representation through graphs in the form of nodes and edges should preserve as many characteristics of the original data as…
A path graph is the intersection graph of paths in a tree. A directed path graph is the intersection graph of paths in a directed tree. Even if path graphs and directed path graphs are characterized very similarly, their recognition…
Graphs have a superior ability to represent relational data, like chemical compounds, proteins, and social networks. Hence, graph-level learning, which takes a set of graphs as input, has been applied to many tasks including comparison,…
Visibility plays an important role for decision making in cluttered, uncertain environments. This paper considers the problem of identifying optimal hiding spots for an agent against line-of-sight detection by an adversary whose location is…
We consider the problem of routing on a network in the presence of line segment constraints (i.e., obstacles that edges in our network are not allowed to cross). Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane and let $S$ be a set of…
We present an optimal, linear-time algorithm for the following version of terrain guarding: given a 1.5D terrain and a horizontal line, place the minimum number of guards on the line to see all of the terrain. We prove that the cardinality…
The search is based on the preliminary transformation of matrices or adjacency lists traditionally used in the study of graphs into projections cleared of redundant information (refined) followed by the selection of the desired shortest…
Interval and proper interval graphs are very well-known graph classes, for which there is a wide literature. As a consequence, some generalizations of interval graphs have been proposed, in which graphs in general are expressed in terms of…
In this paper, we give a characterization of the visibility graphs of pseudo-polygons. We first identify some key combinatorial properties of pseudo-polygons, and we then give a set of five necessary conditions based off our identified…
Finding patterns in graphs is a fundamental problem in databases and data mining. In many applications, graphs are temporal and evolve over time, so we are interested in finding durable patterns, such as triangles and paths, which persist…
A hole in a graph G is an induced cycle of length at least four; an antihole is a hole in the complement of G. In 2005, Chudnovsky, Cornuejols, Liu, Seymour and Vuskovic showed that it is possible to test in polynomial time whether a graph…
The horizontal visibility algorithm has been recently introduced as a mapping between time series and networks. The challenge lies in characterizing the structure of time series (and the processes that generated those series) using the…
Isocontours in road networks represent the area that is reachable from a source within a given resource limit. We study the problem of computing accurate isocontours in realistic, large-scale networks. We propose polygons with minimum…
In this paper we investigate the existence of subexponential parameterized algorithms of three fundamental cycle-hitting problems in geometric graph classes. The considered problems, \textsc{Triangle Hitting} (TH), \textsc{Feedback Vertex…
Given a graph $G$, and terminal vertices $s$ and $t$, the TRACKING PATHS problem asks to compute a minimum number of vertices to be marked as trackers, such that the sequence of trackers encountered in each s-t path is unique. TRACKING…
Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…
Deep learning has been shown to be successful in a number of domains, ranging from acoustics, images, to natural language processing. However, applying deep learning to the ubiquitous graph data is non-trivial because of the unique…
Obstacle representations of graphs have been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. We focus on graphs that can be represented by a single obstacle. Given a (topologically open) polygon $C$ and a finite set $P$ of points in…
Shortest-path roadmaps, also known as reduced visibility graphs, provides a highly efficient multi-query method for computing optimal paths in two-dimensional environments. Combined with Minkowski sum computations, shortest-path roadmaps…
Graph embeddings have become a key and widely used technique within the field of graph mining, proving to be successful across a broad range of domains including social, citation, transportation and biological. Graph embedding techniques…
