\emph{Temporal graphs} are a generalisation of (static) graphs, defined by a sequence of \emph{snapshots}, each a static graph defined over a common set of vertices. \emph{Exploration} problems are one of the most fundamental and most…

For a graph $G$, let $\nu_s(G)$ be the induced matching number of $G$. We prove that $\nu_s(G) \geq \frac{n(G)}{(\lceil\frac{\Delta}{2}\rceil+1) (\lfloor\frac{\Delta}{2}\rfloor+1)}$ for every graph of sufficiently large maximum degree…

A matching in a graph is a set of edges no two of which share a common vertex. A matching M is an induced matching if no edge connects two edges of M. The problem of finding a maximum induced matching is known to be NP-hard in general and…

Given a graph $G=(V, E)$ and and a proper labeling $f$ from $V$ to $\{1, ..., n\}$, we define $B(f)$ as the maximum absolute difference between $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ where $(u,v)\in E$. The bandwidth of $G$ is the minimum $B(f)$ for all $f$.…

We study distributed algorithms that find a maximal matching in an anonymous, edge-coloured graph. If the edges are properly coloured with $k$ colours, there is a trivial greedy algorithm that finds a maximal matching in $k-1$ synchronous…

Temporal graphs are a class of graphs defined by a constant set of vertices and a changing set of edges, each of which is known as a timestep. These graphs are well motivated in modelling real-world networks, where connections may change…

A matching cut of a graph is a partition of its vertex set in two such that no vertex has more than one neighbor across the cut. The Matching Cut problem asks if a graph has a matching cut. This problem, and its generalization d-cut, has…
