One of the earliest results in extremal graph theory, Mantel's theorem, states that the maximum number of edges in a triangle-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$. We investigate how this extremal bound is affected when…

Perfect graphs were defined by Claude Berge in the 1960s. They are important objects for graph theory, linear programming and combinatorial optimization. Claude Berge made a conjecture about them, that was proved by Chudnovsky, Robertson,…

Minimal prime graphs (MPGs) are a special class of prime graphs (also known as Gruenberg-Kegel graphs) associated with finite solvable groups. A graph is an MPG if it has at least two vertices, is connected, its complement is triangle-free…

The maximum number of edges in a graph with matching number m and maximum degree d has been determined in [1] and [2], where some extremal graphs have also been provided. Then, a new question has emerged: how the maximum edge count is…

A graph admitting a perfect matching has the Perfect-Matching-Hamiltonian property (for short the PMH-property) if each of its perfect matchings can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. In this paper we establish some sufficient conditions…

The class of even-hole-free graphs has been extensively studied on its own and on its relation to perfect graphs. In this paper, we study the $\chi$-boundedness of even-hole-free graphs which itself is an important topic in graph theory. In…

We consider the class ${\cal A}$ of graphs that contain no odd hole, no antihole of length at least 5, and no "prism" (a graph consisting of two disjoint triangles with three disjoint paths between them) and the class ${\cal A}'$ of graphs…

Recent works have demonstrated the potential of Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for network intrusion detection. Despite their advantages, a significant gap persists between real-world scenarios, where detection speed is critical, and existing…

Perfect Matching-Cut is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge-cut. We show that this problem is NP-complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for…

Best match graphs (BMGs) are vertex-colored directed graphs that were introduced to model the relationships of genes (vertices) from different species (colors) given an underlying evolutionary tree that is assumed to be unknown. In…

We consider the approximability of the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem (MEDP) in undirected graphs, and in particular, the integrality gap of the natural multicommodity flow based relaxation for it. The integrality gap is known to be…

Existing graph matching methods typically assume that there are similar structures between graphs and they are matchable. However, these assumptions do not align with real-world applications. This work addresses a more realistic scenario…

The class of even-hole-free graphs is very similar to the class of perfect graphs, and was indeed a cornerstone in the tools leading to the proof of the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem. However, the complexity of computing a maximum…

An automorphism of a graph is called quasi-semiregular if it fixes a unique vertex of the graph and its remaining cycles have the same length. This kind of symmetry of graphs was first investigated by Kutnar, Malni\v{c}, Mart\'{i}nez and…
