Correspondence homomorphisms are both a generalization of standard homomorphisms and a generalization of correspondence colourings. For a fixed target graph $H$, the problem is to decide whether an input graph $G$, with each edge labeled by…
Let $R_m$ be the (unique) universal homogeneous $m$-edge-coloured countable complete graph ($m\ge2$), and $G_m$ its group of colour-preserving automorphisms. The group $G_m$ was shown to be simple by John Truss. We examine the automorphism…
Generalized Tur\'an problems ask for the maximum number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex, $F$-free graph, denoted by ex$(n,H,F)$. We show how to extend the new, localized approach of Brada\v{c}, Malec, and Tompkins to generalized…
Given a graph $G$, the (graph theory) general position problem is to find the maximum number of vertices such that no three vertices lie on a common geodesic. This graph invariant is called the general position number (gp-number for short)…
We develop a unified framework for rotor-routing that extends the classical model to a broad class of multigraphs equipped with Generalized Rotor Mechanisms (GRM). This perspective places rotor-routing on the same footing as abelian…
The classic result by Fortune, Hopcroft, and Wyllie [TCS~'80] states that the directed disjoint paths problem is NP-complete even for two pairs of terminals. Extending this well-known result, we show that the directed disjoint paths problem…
In this paper extremal problems for uniform hypergraphs are studied in the general setting of hereditary properties. It turns out that extremal problems about edges are particular cases of a general analyic problem about a recently…
The problems of the genus of the complete graphs and minimum triangulations for each surface were both solved using the theory of current graphs, and each of them divided into twelve different cases, depending on the residue modulo 12 of…
Recently Bowden, Hensel and Webb defined the fine curve graph for surfaces, extending the notion of curve graphs for the study of homeomorphism or diffeomorphism groups of surfaces. Later Long, Margalit, Pham, Verberne and Yao proved that…
In this article, we introduce a new homotopy function to trace the trajectory by applying modified homotopy continuation method for finding the solution of the linear complementarity problem. Earlier several authors attempted to propose…
We examine $t$-colourings of oriented graphs in which, for a fixed integer $k \geq 1$, vertices joined by a directed path of length at most $k$ must be assigned different colours. A homomorphism model that extends the ideas of Sherk for the…
Graph coloring, a classical and critical NP-hard problem, is the problem of assigning connected nodes as different colors as possible. However, we observe that state-of-the-art GNNs are less successful in the graph coloring problem. We…
We introduce a general method for obtaining fixed-parameter algorithms for problems about finding paths in undirected graphs, where the length of the path could be unbounded in the parameter. The first application of our method is as…
The graph isomorphism problem looks deceptively simple, but although polynomial-time algorithms exist for certain types of graphs such as planar graphs and graphs with bounded degree or eigenvalue multiplicity, its complexity class is still…
Partial vertex cover and partial dominating set are two well-investigated optimization problems. While they are $\rm W[1]$-hard on general graphs, they have been shown to be fixed-parameter tractable on many sparse graph classes, including…
We establish basic facts about the varieties of homogeneous polynomials divisible by powers of linear forms, and explain consequences for geometric complexity theory. This includes quadratic set-theoretic equations, a description of the…
We consider the following problem for a fixed graph H: given a graph G and two H-colorings of G, i.e. homomorphisms from G to H, can one be transformed (reconfigured) into the other by changing one color at a time, maintaining an H-coloring…
We prove a suitable fibration theorem over quasi-trivial tori that, through an approach developed by Harpaz and Wittenberg, implies so-called solvable descent. In particular, this gives a positive answer to the Grunwald problem for solvable…
We consider non-trivial homomorphisms to reflexive oriented graphs in which some pair of adjacent vertices have the same image. Using a notion of convexity for oriented graphs, we study those oriented graphs that do not admit such…
The neighborhood complex of a graph was introduced by Lov\'asz to provide topological lower bounds on chromatic number. More general homomorphism complexes of graphs were further studied by Babson and Kozlov. Such `Hom complexes' are also…
