We introduce the graph theoretical parameter of edge treewidth. This parameter occurs in a natural way as the tree-like analogue of cutwidth or, alternatively, as an edge-analogue of treewidth. We study the combinatorial properties of…
We prove upper bounds on the face numbers of simplicial complexes in terms on their girths, in analogy with the Moore bound from graph theory. Our definition of girth generalizes the usual definition for graphs.
Let $b(k,\theta)$ be the maximum order of a connected bipartite $k$-regular graph whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\theta$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for $b(k,\theta)$ for any $0\leq \theta< 2\sqrt{k-1}$. Our…
We address the problem of constructing large undirected circulant networks with given degree and diameter. First we discuss the theoretical upper bounds and their asymptotics, and then we describe and implement a computer-based method to…
The hypergraph Moore bound is an elegant statement that characterizes the extremal trade-off between the girth - the number of hyperedges in the smallest cycle or even cover (a subhypergraph with all degrees even) and size - the number of…
Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…
A $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ has excess $\epsilon $ if it has order $M(d,k) + \epsilon $, where $M(d,k)$ represents the Moore bound for out-degree $d$ and diameter $k$. For given $\epsilon $, it is simple to show that…
We introduce the notion of \emph{bounded diameter arboricity}. Specifically, the \emph{diameter-$d$ arboricity} of a graph is the minimum number $k$ such that the edges of the graph can be partitioned into $k$ forests each of whose…
We describe a new random greedy algorithm for generating regular graphs of high girth: Let $k\geq 3$ and $c \in (0,1)$ be fixed. Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be even and set $g = c \log_{k-1} (n)$. Begin with a Hamilton cycle $G$ on $n$ vertices.…
A digraph $G$ is \emph{$k$-geodetic} if for any (not necessarily distinct) vertices $u,v$ there is at most one directed walk from $u$ to $v$ with length not exceeding $k$. The order of a $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ is…
For integers m,k >= 1, we investigate the maximum size of a directed cut in directed graphs in which there are m edges and each vertex has either indegree at most k or outdegree at most k.
A [z,r;g]-mixed cage is a mixed graph of minimum order such that each vertex has z in-arcs, z out-arcs, r edges, and it has girth g. We present an infinite family of mixed graphs with girth 6. This construction also provides an upper bound…
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…
In this paper we are interested in the {\it{Cage Problem}} that consists in constructing regular graphs of given girth $g$ and minimum order. We focus on girth $g=5$, where cages are known only for degrees $k \le 7$. We construct regular…
The study of the graph diameter of polytopes is a classical open problem in polyhedral geometry and the theory of linear optimization. In this paper we continue the investigation initiated in [4] by introducing a vast hierarchy of…
An $(r,z,k)$-mixed graph $G$ has every vertex with undirected degree $r$, directed in- and out-degree $z$, and diameter $k$. In this paper, we study the case $r=z=1$, proposing some new constructions of $(1,1,k)$-mixed graphs with a large…
We consider the problem of learning the weighted edges of a balanced mixture of two undirected graphs from epidemic cascades. While mixture models are popular modeling tools, algorithmic development with rigorous guarantees has lagged.…
A graph is called diameter-$k$-critical if its diameter is $k$, and the removal of any edge strictly increases the diameter. In this paper, we prove several results related to a conjecture often attributed to Murty and Simon, regarding the…
Mixed radial Moore graphs are approximations of mixed Moore graphs that preserve the distance-preserving spanning tree for some vertices. One way to measure their resemblance to a mixed Moore graph is using the status measure. The status of…
We present a first exact study on higher-dimensional packing problems with order constraints. Problems of this type occur naturally in applications such as logistics or computer architecture and can be interpreted as higher-dimensional…
