A temporal graph is a graph in which vertices communicate with each other at specific time, e.g., $A$ calls $B$ at 11 a.m. and talks for 7 minutes, which is modeled by an edge from $A$ to $B$ with starting time "11 a.m." and duration "7…

Within many real-world networks the links between pairs of nodes change over time. Thus, there has been a recent boom in studying temporal graphs. Recognizing patterns in temporal graphs requires a proximity measure to compare different…

A maximal matching $M$ that consists of independent edges is a subgraph of a simple and undirected graph $G$ for which $G-M$ forms an independent set. A graph $G$ is called equimatchable if all maximal matchings have the same number of…

Many types of dynamic networks are made up of durable entities whose links evolve over time. When considered from a {\em global} and {\em discrete} standpoint, these networks are often modelled as evolving graphs, i.e. a sequence of graphs…

In the total matching problem, one is given a graph $G$ with weights on the vertices and edges. The goal is to find a maximum weight set of vertices and edges that is the non-incident union of a stable set and a matching. We consider the…

Node connectivity plays a central role in temporal network analysis. We provide a comprehensive study of various concepts of walks in temporal graphs, that is, graphs with fixed vertex sets but edge sets changing over time. Taking into…

Temporal graphs are graphs where the presence or properties of their vertices and edges change over time. When time is discrete, a temporal graph can be defined as a sequence of static graphs over a discrete time span, called lifetime, or…

Let G=(V,E) be a graph with f:V\to Z_+ a function assigning degree bounds to vertices. We present the first efficient algebraic algorithm to find an f-factor. The time is \tilde{O}(f(V)^{\omega}). More generally for graphs with integral…

Given an undirected graph $G$, the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits a simple and proper time-labeling that makes it temporally connected is known to be NP-hard (G\"obel et al., 1991). In this article, we relax this problem and ask…
