The intersection graph $\Delta_G$ of a finite group $G$ is a simple graph with vertices the non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$, and an edge between two vertices if their corresponding subgroups intersect non-trivially. These graphs were…
The \emph{segment number} of a planar graph is the smallest number of line segments whose union represents a crossing-free straight-line drawing of the given graph in the plane. The segment number is a measure for the visual complexity of a…
In a digraph, a quasi-kernel is a subset of vertices that is independent and such that the shortest path from every vertex to this subset is of length at most two. The ``small quasi-kernel conjecture,'' proposed by Erd\H{o}s and Sz\'ekely…
Connectivity related concepts are of fundamental interest in graph theory. The area has received extensive attention over four decades, but many problems remain unsolved, especially for directed graphs. A directed graph is 2-edge-connected…

Many hard graph problems can be solved efficiently when restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth, and more generally to graphs of bounded clique-width. But there is a price to be paid for this generality, exemplified by the four problems…
Integral circulant graphs are proposed as models for quantum spin networks that permit a quantum phenomenon called perfect state transfer. Specifically, it is important to know how far information can potentially be transferred between…
Bodlaender and Koster (Discrete Mathematics 2006) introduced the notion of almost-clique separators in the context of computing the treewidth $\tw(G)$ of a given graph $G$. A separator $S \subseteq V(G)$ of $G$ is an \emph{almost-clique…

For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of…
We study the complexity of local graph centrality estimation, with the goal of approximating the centrality score of a given target node while exploring only a sublinear number of nodes/arcs of the graph and performing a sublinear number of…
Parameterized complexity theory has enabled a refined classification of the difficulty of NP-hard optimization problems on graphs with respect to key structural properties, and so to a better understanding of their true difficulties. More…
The strong metric dimension of a graph was first introduced by Seb\"{o} and Tannier (Mathematics of Operations Research, 29(2), 383-393, 2004) as an alternative to the (weak) metric dimension of graphs previously introduced independently by…
We consider the degree-diameter problem for undirected and directed circulant graphs. To date, attempts to generate families of large circulant graphs of arbitrary degree for a given diameter have concentrated mainly on the diameter 2 case.…
Reducing the running time of graph algorithms is vital for tackling real-world problems such as shortest paths and matching in large-scale graphs, where path information plays a crucial role. To address this critical challenge, this paper…
We study graph connectivity problem in MPC model. On an undirected graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, $O(\log n)$ round connectivity algorithms have been known for over 35 years. However, no algorithms with better complexity bounds were…
A graph G is an NG-graph if \chi(G) + \chi(G complement) = |V(G)| + 1. We characterize NG-graphs solely from degree sequences leading to a linear-time recognition algorithm. We also explore the connections between NG-graphs and split…
Cutwidth is a widely studied parameter that quantifies how well a graph can be decomposed along small edge-cuts. It complements pathwidth, which captures decomposition by small vertex separators, and it is well-known that cutwidth…
The degree-diameter problem consists of finding the maximum number of vertices $n$ of a graph with diameter $d$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. This problem is well studied, and has been solved for plane graphs of low diameter in which every…
Counts of small subgraphs, or graphlet counts, are widely applicable to measure graph similarity. Computing graphlet counts can be computationally expensive and may pose obstacles in network analysis. We study the role of cliques in…
