We study the crossing-minimization problem in a layered graph drawing of planar-embedded rooted trees whose leaves have a given total order on the first layer, which adheres to the embedding of each individual tree. The task is then to…

We study a very restrictive graph exploration problem. In our model, an agent without persistent memory is placed on a vertex of a graph and only sees the adjacent vertices. The goal is to visit every vertex of the graph, return to the…

While the ground-state problem for the random-field Ising model is polynomial, and can be solved using a number of well-known algorithms for maximum flow or graph cut, the analogue random-field Potts model corresponds to a multi-terminal…

The couplings in a sparse asymmetric, asynchronous Ising network are reconstructed using an exact learning algorithm. L$_1$ regularization is used to remove the spurious weak connections that would otherwise be found by simply minimizing…

The anti-Ramsey number, $ar(G, H)$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that in any edge colouring of $G$ with $k$ colours there is a rainbow subgraph isomorphic to $H$, i.e., a copy of $H$ with each of its edges assigned a different colour. The…
