We study the problem of transforming one list (vertex) coloring of a graph into another list coloring by changing only one vertex color assignment at a time, while at all times maintaining a list coloring, given a list of allowed colors for…
In this paper, we define a class of auxiliary graphs associated with simple undirected graphs. This class of auxiliary graphs is based on the set of spanning trees of the original graph and the edges constituting those spanning trees. A…
We study the problem of checking the existence of a step-by-step transformation of $d$-regular induced subgraphs in a graph, where $d \ge 0$ and each step in the transformation must follow a fixed reconfiguration rule. Our problem for $d=0$…
The network reconfiguration problem seeks to find a rooted tree $T$ such that the energy of the (unique) feasible electrical flow over $T$ is minimized. The tree requirement on the support of the flow is motivated by operational constraints…
Given a graph, we can form a spanning forest by first sorting the edges in some order, and then only keep edges incident to a vertex which is not incident to any previous edge. The resulting forest is dependent on the ordering of the edges,…
It is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to determine the minimum number of branching vertices needed in a single-source distance-preserving subgraph of an undirected graph. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph is…
The Longest Path Problem is a question of finding the maximum length between pairs of vertices of a graph. In the general case, the problem is NP-complete. However, there is a small collection of graph classes for which there exists an…
In this paper we look at the problem of adjacency labeling of graphs. Given a family of undirected graphs the problem is to determine an encoding-decoding scheme for each member of the family such that we can decode the adjacency…
This paper proposes a new general technique for maximal subgraph enumeration which we call proximity search, whose aim is to design efficient enumeration algorithms for problems that could not be solved by existing frameworks. To support…
We develop a time-optimal $O(mn^2)$-time algorithm to construct the subtree prune-regraft (SPR) graph on a collection of m phylogenetic trees with n leaves. This improves on the previous bound of $O(mn^3)$. Such graphs are used to better…
The feedback set problems are about removing the minimum number of vertices or edges from a graph to break all its cycles. Much effort has gone into understanding their complexity on planar graphs as well as on graphs of bounded degree. We…
Tree projections provide a unifying framework to deal with most structural decomposition methods of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Within this framework, a CSP instance is decomposed into a number of sub-problems, called views,…
The overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree (SOGs) generalise many other graphs classes with set representation characterisations. The complexity of recognising SOGs in open. The complexities of recognising many subclasses of SOGs are known.…
The complexity class NP of decision problems that can be solved nondeterministically in polynomial time is of great theoretical and practical importance where the notion of polynomial-time reductions between NP-problems is a key concept for…
We present a link-by-link rule-based method for constructing all members of the ensemble of spanning trees for any recursively generated, finitely articulated graph, such as the DGM net. The recursions allow for many large-scale properties…
Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a key task in computational biology. It consists in inferring a molecular sequence at an ancestral species of a known phylogeny, given descendant sequences at the tip of the tree. In addition to its many…
Clustering is a well-known and studied problem, one of its variants, called contiguity-constrained clustering, accepts as a second input a graph used to encode prior information about cluster structure by means of contiguity constraints…
Recently, one has seen a surge of interest in developing such methods including ones for learning such representations for (undirected) graphs (while preserving important properties). However, most of the work to date on embedding graphs…
Circular-arc graphs are intersection graphs of arcs on the circle. The aim of our work is to present a polynomial time algorithm testing whether two circular-arc graphs are isomorphic. To accomplish our task we construct decomposition…
Subgraph enumeration problems ask to output all subgraphs of an input graph that belongs to the specified graph class or satisfy the given constraint. These problems have been widely studied in theoretical computer science. As far, many…
