Tracking of moving objects is crucial to security systems and networks. Given a graph $G$, terminal vertices $s$ and $t$, and an integer $k$, the \textsc{Tracking Paths} problem asks whether there exists at most $k$ vertices, which if…
We investigate which planar point sets allow simultaneous straight-line embeddings of all planar graphs on a fixed number of vertices. We first show that $(1.293-o(1))n$ points are required to find a straight-line drawing of each $n$-vertex…
A prototypical graph problem is centered around a graph-theoretic property for a set of vertices and a solution to it is a set of vertices for which the desired property holds. The task is to decide whether, in the given graph, there exists…
Inspired by notorious combinatorial optimization problems on graphs, in this paper we consider a series of related problems defined using a metric space and topology determined by a graph. Particularly, we present the Independent Set,…
Minimum Bisection denotes the NP-hard problem to partition the vertex set of a graph into two sets of equal sizes while minimizing the width of the bisection, which is defined as the number of edges between these two sets. We first consider…
Given a vertex-coloured graph, a dominating set is said to be tropical if every colour of the graph appears at least once in the set. Here, we study minimum tropical dominating sets from structural and algorithmic points of view. First, we…
Given $k$ input graphs $G_1, \dots ,G_k$, where each pair $G_i$, $G_j$ with $i \neq j$ shares the same graph $G$, the problem Simultaneous Embedding With Fixed Edges (SEFE) asks whether there exists a planar drawing for each input graph…
{\em Partial domination problem} is a generalization of the {\em minimum dominating set problem} on graphs. Here, instead of dominating all the nodes, one asks to dominate at least a fraction of the nodes of the given graph by choosing a…
Given a collection of planar graphs $G_1,\dots,G_k$ on the same set $V$ of $n$ vertices, the simultaneous geometric embedding (with mapping) problem, or simply $k$-SGE, is to find a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and a bijection $\phi:…
The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the notions of geometric and sequential convexity within a graph-theoretic framework, with the aim of examining various structural properties and exploring the connection between these…
A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least one neighbor in the set. The problem of counting dominating sets is #P-complete for chordal graphs but solvable in polynomial time for its…
A strength of parameterized algorithmics is that each problem can be parameterized by an essentially inexhaustible set of parameters. Usually, the choice of the considered parameter is informed by the theoretical relations between…
This paper presents a study on two data structures that have been used to model several problems in computer science: and/or graphs and x-y graphs. An and/or graph is an acyclic digraph containing a source, such that every vertex v has a…
As graphs continue to grow in size, we seek ways to effectively process such data at scale. The model of streaming graph processing, in which a compact summary is maintained as each edge insertion/deletion is observed, is an attractive one.…
We study separating systems of the edges of a graph where each member of the separating system is a path. We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph admits a separating path system of size $O(n)$ and prove this in certain interesting special…
A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is geodetic if every vertex of $G$ lies on a shortest path between two vertices in $S$. Given a graph $G$ and $k \in \mathbb N$, the NP-hard Geodetic Set problem asks whether there is a geodetic set of size…
A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…
We study a new algorithmic process of graph growth which starts from a single initial vertex and operates in discrete time-steps, called \emph{slots}. In every slot, the graph grows via two operations (i) vertex generation and (ii) edge…
We study a new variant of graph coloring by adding a connectivity constraint. A path in a vertex-colored graph is called conflict-free if there is a color that appears exactly once on its vertices. A connected graph $G$ is said to be…
We introduce a class of parameterised counting problems on graphs, p-#Induced Subgraph With Property(\Phi), which generalises a number of problems which have previously been studied. This paper focusses on the case in which \Phi defines a…
