A $k$-clique is a dense graph, consisting of $k$ fully-connected nodes, that finds numerous applications, such as community detection and network analysis. In this paper, we study a new problem, that finds a maximum set of disjoint…
The minimum clique partition (MCP) problem is that of partitioning the vertex set of a given graph into a minimum number of cliques. Given $n$ points in the plane, the corresponding unit disk graph (UDG) has these points as vertices, and…
The Minimum Sum Coloring Problem (MSCP) is derived from the Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) by associating a weight to each color. The aim of MSCP is to find a coloring solution of a graph such that the sum of color weights is minimum. MSCP…
A configuration of a graph is an assignment of one of two states, on or off, to each vertex of it. A regular move at a vertex changes the states of the neighbors of that vertex. A valid move is a regular move at an on vertex. The following…
We look at both the \emph{group labeling lights out game} and the \emph{neighborhood lights out game}. Our main focus is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for when the group labeling lights out game on path graphs, cycle…
We study a two-person game played on graphs based on the widely studied chip-firing game. Players Max and Min alternately place chips on the vertices of a graph. When a vertex accumulates as many chips as its degree, it fires, sending one…
A clique in a graph is a set of vertices, each of which is adjacent to every other vertex in this set. A k-clique relaxes this requirement, requiring vertices to be within a distance k of each other, rather than directly adjacent. In…
Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…
When searching for characteristic subpatterns in potentially noisy graph data, it appears self-evident that having multiple observations would be better than having just one. However, it turns out that the inconsistencies introduced when…
We introduce the Multicolored Graph Realization problem (MGRP). The input to the problem is a colored graph $(G,\varphi)$, i.e., a graph together with a coloring on its vertices. We can associate to each colored graph a cluster graph…
Multiple interval graphs are variants of interval graphs where instead of a single interval, each vertex is assigned a set of intervals on the real line. We study the complexity of the MAXIMUM CLIQUE problem in several classes of multiple…
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph and let each vertex of $G$ has a lamp and a button. Each button can be of $\sigma^+$-type or $\sigma$-type. Assume that initially some lamps are on and others are off. The button on vertex $x$ is of $\sigma^+$-type…
A k-plex in a graph is a vertex set where each vertex is non-adjacent to at most k vertices (including itself) in this set, and the Maximum k-plex Problem (MKP) is to find the largest k-plex in the graph. As a practical NP-hard problem, MKP…
MAX CLIQUE problem (MCP) is an NPO problem, which asks to find the largest complete sub-graph in a graph $G, G = (V, E)$ (directed or undirected). MCP is well known to be $NP-Hard$ to approximate in polynomial time with an approximation…
All the work made so far on edge-covering a graph by cliques focus on finding the minimum number of cliques that cover the graph. On this paper, we fix the number of cliques that cover a graph by the same number of vertices that the graph…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be any field, we consider solving $Ax=b$ repeatedly for a matrix $A\in\mathbb{F}^{n\times n}$ of $m$ non-zero elements, and multiple different $b\in\mathbb{F}^{n}$. If we are given a zero forcing set of $A$ of size $k$, we…
The theory behind the Lights Out game has been developed by several authors. The aim of this work is to present some results related to this game using Linear Algebra. We establish a criterion for the solubility of this game in the case of…
The maximum clique (MC) problem is a challenging graph mining problem which, due to its NP-hard nature, can take a substantial amount of execution time. The MC problem is dominated by set intersection operations similar to Maximal Clique…
The online list coloring game is a two-player graph-coloring game played on a graph $G$ as follows. On each turn, a Lister reveals a new color $c$ at some subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ of uncolored vertices, and then a Painter chooses an…
Finding the maximum clique is a known NP-Complete problem and it is also hard to approximate. This work proposes two efficient algorithms to obtain it. Nevertheless, the first one is able to fins the maximum for some special cases, while…
