Fractional (hyper-)graph theory is concerned with the specific problems that arise when fractional analogues of otherwise integer-valued (hyper-)graph invariants are considered. The focus of this paper is on fractional edge covers of…
We introduce a new graph invariant that measures fractional covering of a graph by cuts. Besides being interesting in its own right, it is useful for study of homomorphisms and tension-continuous mappings. We study the relations with…
We work out the theory of fractional isomorphism of graphons as a generalization to the classical theory of fractional isomorphism of finite graphs. The generalization is given in terms of homomorphism densities of finite trees and it is…
A fractional colouring of a graph $G$ is a function that assigns a non-negative real value to all possible colour-classes of $G$ containing any vertex of $G$, such that the sum of these values is at least one for each vertex. The fractional…
The domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of vertex disjoint dominating sets that partition the vertex set of the graph. In this paper we consider the fractional variant of this notion. Graphs with fractional domatic number 1 are…
In this paper, we study the graph classification problem from the graph homomorphism perspective. We consider the homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$, where $G$ is a graph of interest (e.g. molecules or social networks) and $F$ belongs to some…
An automorphism group of a graph $G$ is the set of all permutations of the vertex set of $G$ that preserve adjacency and non adjacency of vertices in a graph. A fixing set of a graph $G$ is a subset of vertices of $G$ such that only the…
The restricted hypercube-like graphs, variants of the hypercube, were proposed as desired interconnection networks of parallel systems. The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in the…
This paper initiates the study of fractional eternal domination in graphs, a natural relaxation of the well-studied eternal domination problem. We study the connections to flows and linear programming in order to obtain results on the…
A graph homomorphism is a vertex map which carries edges from a source graph to edges in a target graph. The instances of the Weighted Maximum H-Colourable Subgraph problem (MAX H-COL) are edge-weighted graphs G and the objective is to find…
In a fractional coloring, vertices of a graph are assigned measurable subsets of the real line and adjacent vertices receive disjoint subsets; the fractional chromatic number of a graph is at most $k$ if it has a fractional coloring in…
Given a pair of graphs $\textbf{A}$ and $\textbf{B}$, the problems of deciding whether there exists either a homomorphism or an isomorphism from $\textbf{A}$ to $\textbf{B}$ have received a lot of attention. While graph homomorphism is…
For a graph $G$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, $G(\gamma)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the minimum dominating sets of $G$, and where two vertices of $G(\gamma)$ are adjacent if and only if their corresponding dominating sets in…
In this paper we resolve the complexity of the isomorphism problem on all but finitely many of the graph classes characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs. To this end we develop new techniques applicable for the structural and…
The \emph{fractional matching preclusion number} of a graph $G$, denoted by $fmp(G)$, is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has no fractional perfect matchings. In this paper, we first give some sharp upper…
Graph polynomials are graph parameters invariant under graph isomorphisms which take values in a polynomial ring with a fixed finite number of indeterminates. We study graph polynomials from a model theoretic point of view. In this paper we…
Given a partition ${\mathcal V}=(V_1, \ldots,V_m)$ of the vertex set of a graph $G$, an {\em independent transversal} (IT) is an independent set in $G$ that contains one vertex from each $V_i$. A {\em fractional IT} is a non-negative real…
The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…
We describe a rational approach to reduce the computational and communication complexities of lossless point-to-point compression for computation with side information. The traditional method relies on building a characteristic graph with…
This paper serves as the first extension of the topic of dominator colorings of graphs to the setting of digraphs. We establish the dominator chromatic number over all possible orientations of paths and cycles. In this endeavor we discover…
