An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. These codes have been widely studied for over two decades. We give an improvement…

We study space and time efficient quantum algorithms for two graph problems -- deciding whether an $n$-vertex graph is a forest, and whether it is bipartite. Via a reduction to the s-t connectivity problem, we describe quantum algorithms…

We consider the problem of constructing a bipartite graph whose degrees lie in prescribed intervals. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such graphs are well-known. However, existing realization algorithms suffer from…

For any fixed graph $G$, the subgraph isomorphism problem asks whether an $n$-vertex input graph has a subgraph isomorphic to $G$. A well-known algorithm of Alon, Yuster and Zwick (1995) efficiently reduces this to the "colored" version of…

Given a simple graph $G$, a weight function $w:E(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$, and an orientation $D$ of $G$, we define $\mu^-(D) = \max_{v \in V(G)} w_D^-(v)$, where $w^-_D(v) = \sum_{u\in N_D^{-}(v)}w(uv)$. We say that $D$ is…

Given a graph $G$, the graph $[G]$ obtained by adding, for each pair of vertices of $G$, a unique vertex adjacent to both vertices is called the binding graph of $G$. In this work, we show that the class of binding graphs is…

For an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G$ with non-negative edge-weights, we consider the following type of query: given two vertices $s$ and $t$ in $G$, what is the weight of a minimum $st$-cut in $G$? We solve this problem in preprocessing…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a vertex-colored graph, where $C$ is the set of colors used to color $V$. The Graph Motif (or GM) problem takes as input $G$, a multiset $M$ of colors built from $C$, and asks whether there is a subset $S\subseteq V$ such…

De Berg et al. in [SICOMP 2020] gave an algorithmic framework for subexponential algorithms on geometric graphs with tight (up to ETH) running times. This framework is based on dynamic programming on graphs of weighted treewidth resulting…

Given a graph $G=(V, E)$, a connected sides cut $(U, V\backslash U)$ or $\delta (U)$ is the set of edges of E linking all vertices of U to all vertices of $V\backslash U$ such that the induced subgraphs $G[U]$ and $G[V\backslash U]$ are…

We consider the maximum vertex-weighted matching problem (MVM) for non-bipartite graphs. In earlier work we have described a 2/3-approximation algorithm for the MVM on bipartite graphs (Dobrian, Halappanavar, Pothen and Al-Herz, SIAM J.…

We consider the algorithmic complexity of recognizing bipartite temporal graphs. Rather than defining these graphs solely by their underlying graph or individual layers, we define a bipartite temporal graph as one in which every layer can…

Reachability is the problem of deciding whether there is a path from one vertex to the other in the graph. Standard graph traversal algorithms such as DFS and BFS take linear time to decide reachability however their space complexity is…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $u$, $v$, and $w$ be vertices of $G$. If the distance between $u$ and $w$ does not equal the distance between $v$ and $w$, then $w$ is said to resolve $u$ and $v$. The metric dimension of $G$, denoted $\beta(G)$,…

In recent years several compressed indexes based on variants of the Burrows-Wheeler transformation have been introduced. Some of these index structures far more complex than a single string, as was originally done with the FM-index…

We present an algorithm for determining whether a bipartite graph $G$ is 2-chordal (formerly doubly chordal bipartite). At its core this algorithm is an extension of the existing efficient algorithm for determining whether a graph is…

A graph $G$ is {\it weakly semiregular} if there are two numbers $a,b$, such that the degree of every vertex is $a$ or $b$. The {\it weakly semiregular number} of a graph $G$, denoted by $wr(G)$, is the minimum number of subsets into which…

The replacement paths problem for directed graphs is to find for given nodes s and t and every edge e on the shortest path between them, the shortest path between s and t which avoids e. For unweighted directed graphs on n vertices, the…

The expressive power of message passing GNNs is upper-bounded by Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) test. To achieve high expressive GNNs beyond WL test, we propose a novel graph isomorphism test method, namely Twin-WL, which simultaneously passes node…

Many algorithms have been developed for NP-hard problems on graphs with small treewidth $k$. For example, all problems that are expressable in linear extended monadic second order can be solved in linear time on graphs of bounded treewidth.…
