For an arbitrary, fixed graph (pattern graph), we study the algorithmic complexity of counting homomorphisms, subgraph isomorphisms, and induced subgraph isomorphisms from the pattern graph to $n$-vertex, $d$-degenerate graphs as input.…

In this paper, we introduce a generalization of graphlets to heterogeneous networks called typed graphlets. Informally, typed graphlets are small typed induced subgraphs. Typed graphlets generalize graphlets to rich heterogeneous networks…

In 1992 Bir\'{o}, Hujter and Tuza introduced, for every fixed connected graph $H$, the class of $H$-graphs, defined as the intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of some subdivision of $H$. Recently, quite a lot of research has been…

Graphs are fundamental objects that find widespread applications across computer science and beyond. Graph Theory has yielded deep insights about structural properties of various families of graphs, which are leveraged in the design and…

Consider a family $\mathcal F$ of $C_{2r+1}$-free graphs, where $r\geq 2$. Suppose that each graph in $\mathcal F$ has minimum degree linear in its number of vertices. Thomassen showed that such a family has bounded chromatic number, or,…

For a graph $H$, the $H$-recolouring problem $\operatorname{Recol}(H)$ asks, for two given homomorphisms from a given graph $G$ to $H$, if one can get between them by a sequence of homomorphisms of $G$ to $H$ in which consecutive…

The quantum query complexity of subgraph-containment problems, which ask whether a given subgraph $H$ is present in an input graph $G$, has been the subject of considerable study. However, even for relatively simple subgraphs, such as paths…

We decide the Borel complexity of the conjugacy problem for automorphism groups of countable homogeneous digraphs. Many of the homogeneous digraphs, as well as several other homogeneous structures, have already been addressed in previous…

A retraction is a homomorphism from a graph $G$ to an induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ that is the identity on $H$. In a long line of research, retractions have been studied under various algorithmic settings. Recently, the problem of…

Homomorphism is a key mapping technique between graphs that preserves their structure. Given a graph and a pattern, the subgraph homomorphism problem involves finding a mapping from the pattern to the graph, ensuring that adjacent vertices…

Digraphs H for which the list homomorphism problem with template H (LHOM(H)) is in logspace (L) was characterized by Egri et al. (SODA 2014): LHOM(H) is in L if and only if H does not contain a circular N (assuming L is different from NL).…
