An "edge guard set" of a plane graph $G$ is a subset $\Gamma$ of edges of $G$ such that each face of $G$ is incident to an endpoint of an edge in $\Gamma$. Such a set is said to guard $G$. We improve the known upper bounds on the number of…

In this paper, we consider the following graph embedding problem: Given a bipartite graph G = (V1; V2;E), where the maximum degree of vertices in V2 is 4, can G be embedded on a two dimensional grid such that each vertex in V1 is drawn as a…

This paper revisits the classical Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph $G$ and a set of terminal pairs $P$ and asks whether $G$ contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal…

We show that every edge in a 2-edge-connected planar cubic graph is either contained in a 2-edge-cut or is a chord of some cycle that is contained in a 2-factor of the graph. As a consequence, we show that every edge in a cyclically…

It is known that every planar graph has a planar embedding where edges are represented by non-crossing straight-line segments. We study the planar slope number, i.e., the minimum number of distinct edge-slopes in such a drawing of a planar…

This work presents a maximum entropy principle based algorithm for solving minimum multiway $k$-cut problem defined over static and dynamic {\em digraphs}. A multiway $k$-cut problem requires partitioning the set of nodes in a graph into…

We consider drawings of graphs in the plane in which edges are represented by polygonal paths with at most one bend and the number of different slopes used by all segments of these paths is small. We prove that…

We prove that the Max-Cut and Max-Bisection problems are NP-hard on unit disk graphs. We also show that $\lambda$-precision graphs are planar for $\lambda$ > 1 / \sqrt{2}$.

We show that it is NP-hard to distinguish graphs of linear mim-width at most 1211 from graphs of sim-width at least 1216. This implies that Mim-Width, Sim-Width, One-Sided Mim-Width, and their linear counterparts are all paraNP-complete,…

A graph is said to be edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its edges. It is known that edge-transitive graphs are either vertex-transitive or bipartite. In this paper we present a complete classification of all…

We study an extension of the classical graph cut problem, wherein we replace the modular (sum of edge weights) cost function by a submodular set function defined over graph edges. Special cases of this problem have appeared in different…

A graph is NIC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share at most one common end vertex. NIC-planarity generalizes IC-planarity, which allows a vertex to be…
