Finding shortest paths in a graph is relevant for numerous problems in computer vision and graphics, including image segmentation, shape matching, or the computation of geodesic distances on discrete surfaces. Traditionally, the concept of…
In this paper, we provide an algorithm for traversing geometric graphs which visits all vertices, and reports every vertex and edge exactly once. To achieve this, we combine a given geometric graph $G$ with the integer lattice, seen as a…
A graph $G$ is geodetic if between any two vertices there exists a unique shortest path. In 1962 Ore raised the challenge to characterize geodetic graphs, but despite many attempts, such characterization still seems well beyond reach. We…
The segment number of a planar graph $G$ is the smallest number of line segments needed for a planar straight-line drawing of $G$. Dujmovi\'c, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood [CGTA'07] introduced this measure for the visual complexity of…
A geodesic cover, also known as an isometric path cover, of a graph is a set of geodesics which cover the vertex set of the graph. An edge geodesic cover of a graph is a set of geodesics which cover the edge set of the graph. The geodesic…
Graph-structured data is central to many scientific and industrial domains, where the goal is often to optimize objectives defined over graph structures. Given the combinatorial complexity of graph spaces, such optimization problems are…
The GC problem is to identify a pre-determined number of center vertices such that the distances or costs from (or to) the centers to (or from) other vertices is minimized. The bottleneck of a path is the minimum capacity of edges on the…
Finding paths in graphs is a fundamental graph-theoretic task. In this work, we we are concerned with finding a path with some constraints on its length and the number of vertices neighboring the path, that is, being outside of and incident…
In the literature, several different identification problems in graphs have been studied, the most widely studied such problems are the ones based on dominating sets as a tool of identification. Hereby, the objective is to separate any two…
The shortest path problem in graphs is a cornerstone of AI theory and applications. Existing algorithms generally ignore edge weight computation time. We present a generalized framework for weighted directed graphs, where edge weight can be…
The minimum rank of a graph G is the minimum rank over all real symmetric matrices whose off-diagonal sparsity pattern is the same as that of the adjacency matrix of G. In this note we present the first exact algorithm for the minimum rank…
An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some…
Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is a strong edge geodetic set if there exists an assignment of exactly one shortest path between each pair of vertices from $S$, such that these shortest paths cover all the…
The strong geodetic problem is to find the smallest number of vertices such that by fixing one shortest path between each pair, all vertices of the graph are covered. In this paper we study the strong geodetic problem on complete bipartite…
Given a graph $G$, the (graph theory) general position problem is to find the maximum number of vertices such that no three vertices lie on a common geodesic. This graph invariant is called the general position number (gp-number for short)…
Computing the number of realizations of a minimally rigid graph is a notoriously difficult problem. Towards this goal, for graphs that are minimally rigid in the plane, we take advantage of a recently published algorithm, which is the…
An identifying code of a graph G is a dominating set C such that every vertex x of G is distinguished from all other vertices by the set of vertices in C that are at distance at most 1 from x. The problem of finding an identifying code of…
We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the \textsc{Max-Cut} problem on embedded 1-planar graphs parameterized by the crossing number $k$ of the given embedding. A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with…
We obtain a new lower bound for the eternal vertex cover number of an arbitrary graph $G$, in terms of the cardinality of a vertex cover of minimum size in $G$ containing all its cut vertices. The consequences of the lower bound includes a…
There exist many orthogonal graph drawing algorithms that minimize edge crossings or edge bends, however they produce unsatisfactory drawings in many practical cases. In this paper we present a grid-based algorithm for drawing orthogonal…
