A digraph is $m$-labelled if every arc is labelled by an integer in $\{1, \dots,m\}$. Motivated by wavelength assignment for multicasts in optical networks, we introduce and study $n$-fibre colourings of labelled digraphs. These are…
We focus on counting the number of labeled graphs on $n$ vertices and treewidth at most $k$ (or equivalently, the number of labeled partial $k$-trees), which we denote by $T_{n,k}$. So far, only the particular cases $T_{n,1}$ and $T_{n,2}$…
We introduce and investigate the approximability of the maximum binary tree problem (MBT) in directed and undirected graphs. The goal in MBT is to find a maximum-sized binary tree in a given graph. MBT is a natural variant of the…
In this paper we construct spanning trees in hyperbolic graphs that represent their hyperbolic compactification in a good way: so that the tree has a bounded number of distinct rays to each boundary point. The bound depends only on the…
Past studies on the local limit of maximal weight matchings in edge-weighted large random graphs rely fundamentally on the assumption that the weights are atomless, which ensures that the maximal weight matching is unique. This excludes de…
An arc-weighted digraph is a pair $(D,\omega)$ where $D$ is a digraph and $\omega$ is an \emph{arc-weight function} that assigns\ to each arc $uv$ of $D$ a nonzero real number $\omega(uv)$. Given an arc-weighted digraph $(D,\omega)$ with…
A signed graph has edge signs. A gain graph has oriented edge gains drawn from a group. We define the combination of the two for the abelian case, in which each oriented edge of a signed graph has a gain from an abelian group, concentrating…
Let $D$ be a weighted oriented graph and $I(D)$ be its edge ideal. We provide one method to find all the minimal generators of $ I_{\subseteq C} $, where $ C $ is a maximal strong vertex cover of $D$ and $ I_{\subseteq C} $ is the…
Consider a weighted directed acyclic graph $G$ having an upward planar drawing. We give a formula for the total weight of the families of non-intersecting paths on $G$ with any given starting and ending points. While the…
Broadcasting in a computer network is a method of transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. It is common in this situation to use a tree with many leaves to perform the broadcast, as internal nodes have to forward the…
It is well known that directed treewidth does not enjoy the nice algorithmic properties of its undirected counterpart. There exist, however, some positive results that, essentially, present XP algorithms for the problem of finding, in a…
A long standing open problem in extremal graph theory is to describe all graphs that maximize the number of induced copies of a path on four vertices. The character of the problem changes in the setting of oriented graphs, and becomes more…
We present a concept called the branch-depth of a connectivity function, that generalizes the tree-depth of graphs. Then we prove two theorems showing that this concept aligns closely with the notions of tree-depth and shrub-depth of graphs…
The entities in directed networks arising from real-world interactions are often naturally organized under some hierarchical structure. Given a directed, weighted, graph with edges and node labels, we introduce ranking problem where the…
The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the notions of geometric and sequential convexity within a graph-theoretic framework, with the aim of examining various structural properties and exploring the connection between these…
In fields ranging from business to systems biology, directed graphs with edges labeled by signs are used to model systems in a simple way: the nodes represent entities of some sort, and an edge indicates that one entity directly affects…
A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…
We prove a refinement of the tree packing theorem by Tutte/Nash-Williams for finite graphs. This result is used to obtain a similar result for end faithful spanning tree packings in certain infinite graphs and consequently to establish a…
Let a 2 to 1 directed hypergraph be a 3-uniform hypergraph where every edge has two tail vertices and one head vertex. For any such directed hypergraph F let the nth extremal number of F be the maximum number of edges that any directed…
An oriented graph is a directed graph without directed 2-cycles. Poljak and Turz\'{i}k (1986) proved that every connected oriented graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs contains an acyclic subgraph with at least $\frac{m}{2}+\frac{n-1}{4}$…
