We propose a network protocol similar to the $k$-tree protocol of Itai and Rodeh [{\em Inform.\ and Comput.}\ {\bf 79} (1988), 43--59]. To do this, we define an {\em $t$-uncovering-by-bases} for a connected graph $G$ to be a collection…

Graph structure learning aims to learn connectivity in a graph from data. It is particularly important for many computer vision related tasks since no explicit graph structure is available for images for most cases. A natural way to…

The concept of the brush number $b_r(G)$ was introduced for a simple connected undirected graph $G$. The concept will be applied to the Mycielskian graph $\mu(G)$ of a simple connected graph $G$ to find $b_r(\mu(G))$ in terms of an…

The distance of a graph from being triangle-free is a fundamental graph parameter, counting the number of edges that need to be removed from a graph in order for it to become triangle-free. Its corresponding computational problem is the…

We study the following problem: given an integer $k \ge 3$ and a simple graph $G$, sample a connected induced $k$-node subgraph of $G$ uniformly at random. This is a fundamental graph mining primitive with applications in social network…

A graph is said to be $\mathcal{H}(n, \Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. Using a `matching-based' embedding technique introduced by Alon and F\"uredi, Dellamonica, Kohayakawa,…

Cohesive subgraph mining is a fundamental problem in bipartite graph analysis. In reality, relationships between two types of entities often occur at some specific timestamps, which can be modeled as a temporal bipartite graph. However, the…
