Chord diagrams, under the name of Gauss diagrams, are used in low-dimensional topology as an important tool for studying curves or knots. Those Gauss diagrams that correspond to curves or knots are called realizable. The theme of our paper…
A Gauss diagram (or, more generally, a chord diagram) consists of a circle and some chords inside it. Gauss diagrams are a well-established tool in the study of topology of knots and of planar and spherical curves. Not every Gauss diagram…
The problem of which Gauss diagram can be realized by knots is an old one and has been solved in several ways. In this paper, we present a direct approach to this problem. We show that the needed conditions for realizability of a Gauss…
The problem of which Gauss diagram can be realized by plane curves is an old one and has been solved in several ways. In this paper, we present a direct approach to this problem. We show that needed conditions for realizability of a Gauss…
In this paper we consider the separability problem for bipartite quantum states arising from graphs. Earlier it was proved that the degree criterion is the graph-theoretic counterpart of the familiar positive partial transpose criterion for…
A word-representable graph is a simple graph $G$ which can be represented by a word $w$ over the vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices are adjacent in $G$ if and only if they alternate in $w$. It is known that the class of…
In this paper we study the main characteristics of some evaluation codes parameterized by the edges of a bipartite graph with a perfect matching.
The concept of graph powers has been extensively studied in graph theory. Analogous to graph powers, Chandran et al. [3] introduced the notion of bipartite powers for bipartite graphs. In this paper, we show that the class of interval…
Motivated by the concept of well-covered graphs, we define a graph to be well-bicovered if every vertex-maximal bipartite subgraph has the same order (which we call the bipartite number). We first give examples of them, compare them with…
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing graphs by triangles whose sides touch. As a simple necessary condition, we show that pairs of vertices must have a small common neighborhood. On the positive side, we present linear…
The \textsc{Degree Realization} problem with respect to a graph family $\mathcal{F}$ is defined as follows. The input is a sequence $d$ of $n$ positive integers, and the goal is to decide whether there exists a graph $G \in \mathcal{F}$…
Bipartite graphs model the relationship between two disjoint sets of objects. They have a wide range of applications and are often visualized as a 2-layered drawing, where each set of objects is visualized as a set of vertices (points) on…
We present the theory of multifunctions applied to graphs. Its interesting feature is that walks are recognized as iterations. We consider the graphs with arbitrary number of vertices which are determined by multifunctions. The mutually…
The problem of realizing a given degree sequence by a multigraph can be thought of as a relaxation of the classical degree realization problem (where the realizing graph is simple). This paper concerns the case where the realizing…
We prove two characterisations of accessibility of locally finite quasi-transitive connected graphs. First, we prove that any such graph $G$ is accessible if and only if its set of separations of finite order is an ${\rm Aut}(G)$-finitely…
We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…
We study the problem of generating graphs with prescribed degree sequences for bipartite, directed, and undirected networks. We first propose a sequential method for bipartite graph generation and establish a necessary and sufficient…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
Bipartite graphs model the relationships between two disjoint sets of entities in several applications and are naturally drawn as 2-layer graph drawings. In such drawings, the two sets of entities (vertices) are placed on two parallel lines…
Chord diagrams on circles and their intersection graphs (also known as circle graphs) have been intensively studied, and have many applications to the study of knots and knot invariants, among others. However, chord diagrams on more general…
