Clustering is a well-known and important problem with numerous applications. The graph-based model is one of the typical cluster models. In the graph model, clusters are generally defined as cliques. However, such an approach might be too…

We say that a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is $\{H,F\}$-$o$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic to $H$ or $F$ contains two nonadjacent vertices with degree sum at least $n$. Generalizing earlier sufficient forbidden subgraph…

We show that every locally sparse graph contains a linearly sized expanding subgraph. For constants $c_1>c_2>1$, $0<\alpha<1$, a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called a $(c_1,c_2,\alpha)$-graph if it has at least $c_1n$ edges, but every…

An \emph{s-graph} is a graph with two kinds of edges: \emph{subdivisible} edges and \emph{real} edges. A \emph{realisation} of an s-graph $B$ is any graph obtained by subdividing subdivisible edges of $B$ into paths of arbitrary length (at…

Problems from metric graph theory like Metric Dimension, Geodetic Set, and Strong Metric Dimension have recently had a strong impact in parameterized complexity by being the first known problems in NP to admit double-exponential lower…

Graph modification problems are computational tasks where the goal is to change an input graph $G$ using operations from a fixed set, in order to make the resulting graph satisfy a target property, which usually entails membership to a…

We investigate the question how `small' a graph can be, if it contains all members of a given class of locally finite graphs as subgraphs or induced subgraphs. More precisely, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of…

For a graph $G$ define the parameters $\ell(G)$ and $L(G)$ as the minimum and maximum value of $\nu(G\backslash F)$, where $F$ is a maximum matching of $G$ and $\nu(G)$ is the matching number of $G$. In this paper, we show that there is a…

The Induced Graph Matching problem asks to find k disjoint induced subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph H in a given graph G such that there are no edges between vertices of different subgraphs. This problem generalizes the classical…

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E' of E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by…

In this paper we show that for any graph $H$ of order $m$ and any graph $G$ of order $n$ and maximum degree $\Delta$ one can compute the number of subsets $S$ of $V(G)$ that induces a graph isomorphic to $H $in time $O(c^m\cdot n)$ for some…

A graph property is a function $\Phi$ that maps every graph to {0, 1} and is invariant under isomorphism. In the $\#IndSub(\Phi)$ problem, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to count the number of $k$-vertex induced subgraphs…

A graph is closed when its vertices have a labeling by [n] with a certain property first discovered in the study of binomial edge ideals. In this article, we explore various aspects of closed graphs, including the number of closed labelings…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of terminal vertices $T$ we say that a superset $S$ of $T$ is $T$-connecting if $S$ induces a connected graph, and $S$ is minimal if no strict subset of $S$ is $T$-connecting. In this paper we prove that…
