The distinguishing result of this paper is a $\mathbf{P}$-time enumerable partition of all the potential perfect matchings in a bipartite graph. This partition is a set of equivalence classes induced by the missing edges in the potential…

Let $I(G_{\mathbf{w}})$ be the edge ideal of an edge-weighted graph $(G,\mathbf{w})$. We prove that $I(G_{\mathbf{w}})$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay for all weight functions $w$ if and only if $G$ is a Woodroofe graph.

In 2010, M. Studen\'y, R. Hemmecke, and S. Linder explored a new algebraic description of graphical models, called characteristic imsets. Compare with standard imsets, characteristic imsets have several advantages: they are still unique…

We consider the problem of partitioning the edges of a graph into as few paths as possible. This is a~subject of the classic conjecture of Gallai and a recurring topic in combinatorics. Regarding the complexity of partitioning a graph…

Some microfluidic lab-on-chip devices contain modules whose function is to mix two fluids, called reactant and buffer, in desired proportions. In one of the technologies for fluid mixing the process can be represented by a directed acyclic…

We consider the Trivially Perfect Editing problem, where one is given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$ and a parameter $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and seeks to edit (add or delete) at most $k$ edges from $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect graph. The…

Graph packing and partitioning problems have been studied in many contexts, including from the algorithmic complexity perspective. Consider the packing problem of determining whether a graph contains a spanning tree and a cycle that do not…

The $\mathrm{v}$-number of a graded ideal $I\subseteq R$, denoted by $\mathrm{v}(I)$, is the minimum degree of a polynomial $f$ for which $I:f$ is a prime ideal. Jaramillo and Villarreal (J Combin Theory Ser A 177:105310, 2021) studied the…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $NI(G)$ be the closed neighborhood ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $S=K[V(G)]$. In this paper, we study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, projective dimension and Cohen-Macaulayness of this ideal.…

Let $G$ be a finite graph on the vertex set $[d] = \{1, ..., d \}$ with the edges $e_1, ..., e_n$ and $K[\tb] = K[t_1, ..., t_d]$ the polynomial ring in $d$ variables over a field $K$. The edge ring of $G$ is the semigroup ring $K[G]$ which…

The minimum number of bicliques needed to cover the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$. The Graham-Pollak theorem states that at least $n-1$ bicliques are required to partition the edge set of the…

We develop a method to study sufficient conditions for perfect mixed tilings. Our framework allows the embedding of bounded degree graphs $H$ with components of sublinear order. As a corollary, we recover and extend the work of K\"uhn and…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with the vertex set $V$ and let $I_G$ be its edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_V]$. In this paper, we compute the depth and the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of $S/I_G$ when $G=G_1\circ…

Let $H$ be a $k$-graph on $n$ vertices, with minimum codegree at least $n/k + cn$ for some fixed $c > 0$. In this paper we construct a polynomial-time algorithm which finds either a perfect matching in $H$ or a certificate that none exists.…

In this paper, we relate the problem of finding a maximum clique to the intersection number of the input graph (i.e. the minimum number of cliques needed to edge cover the graph). In particular, we consider the maximum clique problem for…

In a graph, a (perfect) matching cut is an edge cut that is a (perfect) matching. Matching Cut (MC), respectively, Perfect Matching Cut (PMC), is the problem of deciding whether a given graph has a matching cut, respectively, a perfect…

The min-rank of a digraph was shown by Bar-Yossef et al. (2006) to represent the length of an optimal scalar linear solution of the corresponding instance of the Index Coding with Side Information (ICSI) problem. In this work, the graphs…

The MEG (minimum equivalent graph) problem is, given a directed graph, to find a small subset of the edges that maintains all reachability relations between nodes. The problem is NP-hard. This paper gives an approximation algorithm with…

We study the regularity of binomial edge ideals. For a closed graph $G$ we show that the regularity of the binomial edge ideal $J_G$ coincides with the regularity of $\ini_{\lex}(J_G)$ and can be expressed in terms of the combinatorial data…
