Graphs with bounded highway dimension were introduced by Abraham et al. [SODA 2010] as a model of transportation networks. We show that any such graph can be embedded into a distribution over bounded treewidth graphs with arbitrarily small…
For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, denoted $G(\gamma) = (V(\gamma), E(\gamma))$, is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent in…
In the present paper, we study algorithmic questions for the arc-intersection graph of directed paths on a tree. Such graphs are known to be perfect (proved by Monma and Wei in 1986). We present faster algorithms than all previously known…
Given a graph $G$ rooted at a vertex $r$ and weight functions, $\gamma, \tau: E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, the generalized cable-trench problem (CTP) is to find a single spanning tree that simultaneously minimizes the sum of the total edge…
We study the problem of distance-preserving graph compression for weighted paths and trees. The problem entails a weighted graph $G = (V, E)$ with non-negative weights, and a subset of edges $E^{\prime} \subset E$ which needs to be removed…
We study a question that lies at the intersection of classical research subjects in Topological Graph Theory and Graph Drawing: Computing a drawing of a graph with a prescribed number of crossings on a given set $S$ of points, while…
An edge cut C of a graph G is tight if |C \M| = 1 for every perfect matching M of G. Barrier-cuts and 2-separation cuts, also referred to as ELP-cuts, are two important types of tight cuts in matching covered graphs. Edmonds, Lovasz and…
For a class $\mathcal C$ of graphs, we define $\mathcal C$-edge-brittleness of a graph $G$ as the minimum $\ell$ such that the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into sets inducing a subgraph in $\mathcal C$ and there are $\ell$ edges…
A drawing of a graph in the plane is called 1-planar if each edge is crossed at most once. A graph together with a 1-planar drawing is a 1-plane graph. A 1-plane graph $G$ with exactly $4|V (G)|-8$ edges is called optimal. The crossing…
In this paper we study fundamental connectivity properties of hypergraphs from a graph-theoretic perspective, with the emphasis on cut edges, cut vertices, and blocks. To prepare the ground, we define various types of subhypergraphs, as…
A cut of a graph can be represented in many different ways. Here we propose to represent a cut through a ``relation tree'', which is a spanning tree with signed edges. We show that this picture helps to classify the main greedy heuristics…
We prove that the spanning trees of any outerplanar triangulation $G$ can be listed so that any two consecutive spanning trees differ in an exchange of two edges that share an end vertex. For outerplanar graphs $G$ with faces of arbitrary…
Growth curve models are popular tools for studying the development of a response variable within subjects over time. Heterogeneity between subjects is common in such models, and researchers are typically interested in explaining or…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have recently become the standard approach for learning with graph-structured data. Prior work has shed light into their potential, but also their limitations. Unfortunately, it was shown that standard GNNs are…
A $k$-bend path is a non-self-intersecting polyline in the plane made of at most $k+1$ axis-parallel line segments. B$_k$-VPG is the class of graphs which can be represented as intersection graphs of $k$-bend paths in the same plane. In…
A 2-stab unit interval graph (2SUIG) is an axes-parallel unit square intersection graph where the unit squares intersect either of the two fixed lines parallel to the $X$-axis, distance $1 + \epsilon$ ($0 < \epsilon < 1$) apart. This family…
Grid intersection graphs are the intersection graphs of vertical and horizontal segments in the plane. When the bottom and respectively left endpoints of the vertical and horizontals segments belong to a line with negative slope, the graph…
The betweenness structure of a finite metric space $M = (X, d)$ is a pair $\mathcal{B}(M) = (X,\beta_M)$ where $\beta_M$ is the so-called betweenness relation of $M$ that consists of point triplets $(x, y, z)$ such that $d(x, z) = d(x, y) +…
Let $G$ be a connected finite graph. Backman, Baker, and Yuen have constructed a family of explicit and easy-to-describe bijections $g_{\sigma,\sigma^*}$ between spanning trees of $G$ and $(\sigma,\sigma^*)$-compatible orientations, where…
The edge blow-up of a graph $G$, denoted by $G^{p+1}$, is obtained by replacing each edge of $G$ with a clique of order $p+1$, where the new vertices of the cliques are all distinct. Yuan [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B, 152 (2022) 379-398]…
