Graph Generating Dependencies (GGDs) informally express constraints between two (possibly different) graph patterns which enforce relationships on both graph's data (via property value constraints) and its structure (via topological…

We present a method which provides a unified framework for most stability theorems that have been proved in graph and hypergraph theory. Our main result reduces stability for a large class of hypergraph problems to the simpler question of…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of the recognition problem for the proper $H$-graphs. The $H$-graphs are the intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a multigraph $H$, and the properness means that the…

In the companion paper [Linear rank-width of distance-hereditary graphs I. A polynomial-time algorithm, Algorithmica 78(1):342--377, 2017], we presented a characterization of the linear rank-width of distance-hereditary graphs, from which…

We introduce the class of interval $H$-graphs, which is the generalization of interval graphs, particularly interval bigraphs. For a fixed graph $H$ with vertices $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$, we say that an input graph $G$ with given partition…

Reeb graphs are widely used in a range of fields for the purposes of analyzing and comparing complex spaces via a simpler combinatorial object. Further, they are closely related to extended persistence diagrams, which largely but not…

Given an increasing graph property $\mathcal{P}$, a graph $G$ is $\alpha$-resilient with respect to $\mathcal{P}$ if, for every spanning subgraph $H\subseteq G$ where each vertex keeps more than a $(1-\alpha)$-proportion of its neighbours,…

For some geometric graph classes, tractability of testing first-order formulas is precisely characterised by the graph parameter twin-width. This was first proved for interval graphs among others in [BCKKLT, IPEC '22], where the equivalence…

Visibility graph reconstruction, which asks us to construct a polygon that has a given visibility graph, is a fundamental problem with unknown complexity (although visibility graph recognition is known to be in PSPACE). We show that two…

In this paper, we present three necessary conditions for recognizing point visibility graphs. We show that this recognition problem lies in PSPACE. We state new properties of point visibility graphs along with some known properties that are…

Persistent homology is a tool that can be employed to summarize the shape of data by quantifying homological features. When the data is an object in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the (augmented) persistent homology transform ((A)PHT) is a family of…

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…

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…
