In this paper, we consider maintaining strongly connected components (SCCs) of a directed planar graph subject to edge insertions and deletions. We show a data structure maintaining an implicit representation of the SCCs within…
Word-representable graphs are a subset of graphs that may be represented by a word $w$ over an alphabet composed of the vertices in the graph. In such graphs, an edge exists if and only if the occurrences of the corresponding vertices…
This paper formulates a novel problem on graphs: find the minimal subset of edges in a fully connected graph, such that the resulting graph contains all spanning trees for a set of specifed sub-graphs. This formulation is motivated by an…
The discovery and analysis of network patterns are central to the scientific enterprise. In the present work, we developed and evaluated a new approach that learns the building blocks of graphs that can be used to understand and generate…
A bramble in an undirected graph $G$ is a family of connected subgraphs of $G$ such that for every two subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ in the bramble either $V(H_1) \cap V(H_2) \neq \emptyset$ or there is an edge of $G$ with one endpoint in…
We show that for any constant $\Delta \ge 2$, there exists a graph $G$ with $O(n^{\Delta / 2})$ vertices which contains every $n$-vertex graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ as an induced subgraph. For odd $\Delta$ this significantly improves…
Modern, inherently dynamic systems are usually characterized by a network structure, i.e. an underlying graph topology, which is subject to discrete changes over time. Given a static underlying graph $G$, a temporal graph can be represented…
We consider the problem of analyzing social network data sets in which the edges of the network have timestamps, and we wish to analyze the subgraphs formed from edges in contiguous subintervals of these timestamps. We provide data…
Let $G$ be an undirected graph. An edge of $G$ dominates itself and all edges adjacent to it. A subset $E'$ of edges of $G$ is an edge dominating set of $G$, if every edge of the graph is dominated by some edge of $E'$. We say that $E'$ is…
We initiate the study of the following problem: Given a non-planar graph G and a planar subgraph S of G, does there exist a straight-line drawing {\Gamma} of G in the plane such that the edges of S are not crossed in {\Gamma} by any edge of…
A $k$-ranking of a directed graph $G$ is a labeling of the vertex set of $G$ with $k$ positive integers such that every directed path connecting two vertices with the same label includes a vertex with a larger label in between. The rank…
Given a family of hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$, we say that a hypergraph $\Gamma$ is $\mathcal{H}$-universal if it contains every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ as a subgraph. For $D, r \in \mathbb{N}$, we construct an $r$-uniform hypergraph with…
We show how to find and efficiently maintain maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs in undirected graphs. In particular, we provide the following results. (1) A general framework for maintaining the maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs upon…
Sequence representations supporting not only direct access to their symbols, but also rank/select operations, are a fundamental building block in many compressed data structures. Several recent applications need to represent highly…
A dominating set $S$ in a graph $G$ is said to be perfect if every vertex of $G$ not in $S$ is adjacent to just one vertex of $S$. Given a vertex subset $S'$ of a side $P_m$ of an $m\times n$ grid graph $G$, the perfect dominating sets $S$…
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP), the input is an edge-weighted (di)graph $G$ and an integer $r_{uv}$ for every pair of vertices $u,v\in V(G)$. The objective is to construct a subgraph $H$ of minimum weight which contains…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. An edge subset $F\subseteq E(G)$ is called a restricted edge-cut if $G-F$ is disconnected and has no isolated vertices. The restricted edge-connectivity $\lambda'(G)$ of $G$ is…
We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…
Let $G$ be a directed graph. A \textit{$2$-directed block} in $G$ is a maximal vertex set $C^{2d}\subseteq V$ with $|C^{2d}|\geq 2$ such that for each pair of distinct vertices $x,y \in C^{2d}$, there exist two vertex-disjoint paths from…
A directed hypergraph (dihypergraph) consists of a set of vertices and a set of hyperarcs, where each hyperarc is partitioned into a head and a tail. Directed hypergraphs are useful in many applications, including the study of chemical…
