Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda:E\to 2^{\mathbb{N}}$ a mapping that assigns to every edge a non-empty set of integer labels (times). Such a graph is {\em temporally connected} if a path exists with…

Many real-world networks, such as transportation or trade networks, are dynamic in the sense that the edge set may change over time, but these changes are known in advance. This behavior is captured by the temporal graphs model, which has…

A graph whose edges only appear at certain points in time is called a temporal graph (among other names). Such a graph is temporally connected if each ordered pair of vertices is connected by a path which traverses edges in chronological…

A temporal graph is a graph whose edges are available only at certain points in time. It is temporally connected if the nodes can reach each other by paths that traverse the edges chronologically (temporal paths). In general, temporal…

Temporal graphs have edge sets that change over discrete time steps. Such graphs are temporally connected (TC) if all pairs of vertices can reach each other using paths that traverse the edges in a time-respecting way (temporal paths).…

A temporal graph can be represented by a graph with an edge labelling, such that an edge is present in the network if and only if the edge is assigned the corresponding time label. A journey is a labelled path in a temporal graph such that…

A periodic temporal graph, in its simplest form, is a graph in which every edge appears exactly once in the first $\Delta$ time steps, and then it reappears recurrently every $\Delta$ time steps, where $\Delta$ is a given period length.…

The diameter of a graph is one if its most important parameters, being used in many real-word applications. In particular, the diameter dictates how fast information can spread throughout data and communication networks. Thus, it is a…

A temporal graph is a graph in which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. The temporal graph exploration problem TEXP is the problem of computing a foremost exploration schedule for a temporal graph, i.e., a temporal walk…

A temporal graph is a graph for which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. This paper considers undirected temporal graphs defined over L time steps and connected at each time step. We study the Shortest Temporal…

Temporal graphs are graphs whose edges are only present at certain points in time. Reachability in these graphs relies on temporal paths, where edges are traversed chronologically. A temporal graph that offers all-pairs reachability is said…

In this work we consider temporal graphs, i.e. graphs, each edge of which is assigned a set of discrete time-labels drawn from a set of integers. The labels of an edge indicate the discrete moments in time at which the edge is available. We…

Given a 2-edge connected, unweighted, and undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, a $\sigma$-tree spanner is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ in which the ratio between the distance in $T$ of any pair of vertices and the…

Temporal graphs are graphs where the edge set can change in each time step, and the vertex set stays the same. Exploration of temporal graphs whose snapshot in each time step is a connected graph, called connected temporal graphs, has been…

Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…

A temporal graph $G$ is a sequence $(G_t)_{t \in I}$ of graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$. The \emph{temporal exploration problem} asks for the length of the shortest sequence of vertices that starts at a given vertex, visits every…

Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a length function $\ell:E\to {\mathbb R}$ we let $d_{v,w}$ denote the shortest distance between vertex $v$ and vertex $w$. A $t$-spanner is a subset $E'\subseteq E$ such that if $d'_{v,w}$ denotes…

Temporal graphs are graphs with time-stamped edges. We study the problem of finding a small vertex set (the separator) with respect to two designated terminal vertices such that the removal of the set eliminates all temporal paths…

We study the Temporal Exploration problem, where an agent must visit all vertices of a temporal graph while traversing at most one available edge per time step. Unlike static graphs, which can be explored in linear time, temporal…

A temporal graph is a sequence of graphs (called layers) over the same vertex set -- describing a graph topology which is subject to discrete changes over time. A $\Delta$-temporal matching $M$ is a set of time edges $(e,t)$ (an edge $e$…
