Given a simple undirected graph $G$, the maximum $k$-club problem is to find a maximum-cardinality subset of nodes inducing a subgraph of diameter at most $k$ in $G$. This NP-hard generalization of clique, originally introduced to model low…
The Rainbow k-Coloring problem asks whether the edges of a given graph can be colored in $k$ colors so that every pair of vertices is connected by a rainbow path, i.e., a path with all edges of different colors. Our main result states that…
We introduce a variant of the graph coloring problem, which we denote as {\sc Budgeted Coloring Problem} (\bcp). Given a graph $G$, an integer $c$ and an ordered list of integers $\{b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_c\}$, \bcp asks whether there exists a…
We study the maximum number of straight-line segments connecting $n$ points in convex position in the plane, so that each segment intersects at most $k$ others. This question can also be framed as the maximum number of edges of an outer…
Graph partitioning (GP) and vertex connectivity have traditionally been two distinct fields of study. This paper introduces the highly connected graph partitioning (HCGP) problem, which partitions a graph into compact, size balanced, and…
Graph matching is an important problem that has received widespread attention, especially in the field of computer vision. Recently, state-of-the-art methods seek to incorporate graph matching with deep learning. However, there is no…
A coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors to its vertices such that adjacent vertices have different colors. Two colorings are equivalent if they induce the same partition of the vertex set into color classes. Let $\mathcal{A}(G)$ be…
We study two related problems concerning the number of homogeneous subsets of given size in graphs that go back to questions of Erd\H{o}s. Most notably, we improve the upper bounds on the Ramsey multiplicity of $K_4$ and $K_5$ and settle…
Bhawalkar, Kleinberg, Lewi, Roughgarden, and Sharma [ICALP 2012] introduced the Anchored k-Core problem, where the task is for a given graph G and integers b, k, and p to find an induced subgraph H with at least p vertices (the core) such…
The Maximum Minimal Cut Problem (MMCP), a NP-hard combinatorial optimization (CO) problem, has not received much attention due to the demanding and challenging bi-connectivity constraint. Moreover, as a CO problem, it is also a daunting…
A matching of a graph is a subset of edges no two of which share a common vertex, and a maximum matching is a matching of maximum cardinality. In a $b$-matching every vertex $v$ has an associated bound $b_v$, and a maximum $b$-matching is a…
Recently, \citeauthor*{akbari2021locality}~(ICALP 2023) studied the locality of graph problems in distributed, sequential, dynamic, and online settings from a {unified} point of view. They designed a novel $O(\log n)$-locality deterministic…
The Maximum Flow (Max-Flow) problem is a cornerstone in graph theory and combinatorial optimization, aiming to determine the largest possible flow from a designated source node to a sink node within a capacitated flow network. It has…
In the past decades, many scholars concerned which edge-extremal problems have spectral analogues? Recently, Wang, Kang and Xue showed an interesting result on $F$-free graphs [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 159 (2023) 20--41]. In this paper, we…
The maximum independent set problem is one of the most important problems in graph algorithms and has been extensively studied in the line of research on the worst-case analysis of exact algorithms for NP-hard problems. In the weighted…
Many problems, especially those with a composite structure, can naturally be expressed in higher order logic. From a KR perspective modeling these problems in an intuitive way is a challenging task. In this paper we study the graph mining…
We consider the problem of enumerating optimal solutions for two hypergraph $k$-partitioning problems -- namely, Hypergraph-$k$-Cut and Minmax-Hypergraph-$k$-Partition. The input in hypergraph $k$-partitioning problems is a hypergraph…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The edges of $G$ can be colored with at most $\Delta +1$ colors by Vizing's theorem. We study lower bounds on the size of subgraphs of $G$ that can be colored with $\Delta$ colors.…
Graph partitioning problems are a central topic of study in algorithms and complexity theory. Edge expansion and vertex expansion, two popular graph partitioning objectives, seek a $2$-partition of the vertex set of the graph that minimizes…
