The independent set on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of $V$ such that no two vertices in the subset have an edge between them. The MIS problem on $G$ seeks to identify an independent set with maximum cardinality, i.e. maximum independent…
The problem of determining the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $H$-free graph, for any graphs $T$ and $H$, was considered by Alon and Shikhelman. This is a variant of Tur\'{a}n's classical extremal problem. We show lower and upper…
We study the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality set of $r$-cliques in an undirected graph of fixed maximum degree $\Delta$, subject to the cliques in that set being either vertex-disjoint or edge-disjoint. It is known for $r=3$ that…
A cocomparability graph is a graph whose complement admits a transitive orientation. An interval graph is the intersection graph of a family of intervals on the real line. In this paper we investigate the relationships between interval and…
Many combinatorial optimization problems are often considered intractable to solve exactly or by approximation. An example of such problem is maximum clique which -- under standard assumptions in complexity theory -- cannot be solved in…
We consider the maximum chromatic number of hypergraphs consisting of cliques that have pairwise small intersections. Designs of the appropriate parameters produce optimal constructions, but these are known to exist only when the number of…
The monography presents a new algorithm for finding the clique of maximal length in a nonseparable graph. The algorithm is based on the properties of the representation of a clique as a subset of the set of cycles with a length of three,…
Let $d$ be a (well-behaved) shortest-path metric defined on a path-connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ and let $\mathcal{D}=\{D_1,\ldots,D_n\}$ be a set of geodesic disks with respect to the metric $d$. We prove that…
When searching for characteristic subpatterns in potentially noisy graph data, it appears self-evident that having multiple observations would be better than having just one. However, it turns out that the inconsistencies introduced when…
The clique-width is a measure of complexity of decomposing graphs into certain tree-like structures. The class of graphs with bounded clique-width contains bounded tree-width graphs. We give a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for…
We show that the algorithm presented in [J. Fox, T. Roughgarden, C. Seshadhri, F. Wei, and N. Wein. Finding cliques in social networks: A new distribution-free model. SIAM journal on computing, 49(2):448-464, 2020.] can be modified to have…
We consider the problem of partitioning a graph into a non-fixed number of non-overlapping subgraphs of maximum density. The density of a partition is the sum of the densities of the subgraphs, where the density of a subgraph is its average…
We consider random simple temporal graphs in which every edge of the complete graph $K_n$ appears once within the time interval [0,1] independently and uniformly at random. Our main result is a sharp threshold on the size of any maximum…
Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing the diameter mainly depends on the object types: for unit disks and squares in…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a collection of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(P)$ has vertex set $P$, with an edge between two vertices if their corresponding disks intersect. We study the dominating set…
We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…
It is known that the maximum cardinality cut problem is NP-hard even in chordal graphs. In this paper, we consider the time complexity of the problem in proper interval graphs, a subclass of chordal graphs, and propose a dynamic programming…
Recent research on computing the diameter of geometric intersection graphs has made significant strides, primarily focusing on the 2D case where truly subquadratic-time algorithms were given for simple objects such as unit-disks and…
A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is said to be uniquely restricted if there is no other matching in $G$ that matches the same set of vertices as $M$. We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute a maximum cardinality uniquely restricted…
A \emph{co-bipartite chain} graph is a co-bipartite graph in which the neighborhoods of the vertices in each clique can be linearly ordered with respect to inclusion. It is known that the maximum cut problem (MaxCut) is NP-Hard in…
