We define an extremal $(r|\chi)$-graph as an $r$-regular graph with chromatic number $\chi$ of minimum order. We show that the Tur{\' a}n graphs $T_{ak,k}$, the antihole graphs and the graphs $K_k\times K_2$ are extremal in this sense. We…
We obtain several sharp spectral bounds, approximations, and exact values for the isoperimetric number and related edge-expansion parameters of graphs. Our results focus on graph powers and on families of graphs with rich algebraic or…
Diestel and K\"uhn proved that the topological ends of an infinite graph are precisely its undominated graph ends, yielding a canonical embedding of the space of topological ends into the space of graph ends. For edge-ends, introduced by…
Canonical orderings and their relatives such as st-numberings have been used as a key tool in algorithmic graph theory for the last decades. Recently, a unifying concept behind all these orders has been shown: they can be described by a…
A circular arc graph is the intersection graph of a collection of connected arcs on the circle. We solve a Tur'an-type problem for circular arc graphs: for n arcs, if m and M are the minimum and maximum number of arcs that contain a common…
Recently, D. Vuki$\check{c}$evi$\acute{c}$ and J. Sedlar in \cite{Vuki} introduced an order "$\preceq$" on $\mathcal{T}_n$, the set of trees on $n$ vertices, such that the topological index $F$ of a graph is a function defined on the order…
We refine and advance the study of the local structure of idempotent finite algebras started in [A.Bulatov, The Graph of a Relational Structure and Constraint Satisfaction Problems, LICS, 2004]. We introduce a graph-like structure on an…
We present an approach to reduced-order modelling that builds off recent graph-theoretic work for representation, exploration, and analysis of computed states of physical systems (Banerjee et al., Comp. Meth. App. Mech. Eng., 351, 501-530,…
An almost self-centered graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-2$ central vertices, and an almost peripheral graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-1$ peripheral vertices. We determine (1) the maximum girth…
In this paper we are concerned with various graph invariants (girth, diameter, expansion constants, eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tree number) and their analogs for weighted graphs -- weighing the graph changes a combinatorial problem to…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote a set of graphs. A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{F}$-free if it does not contain any element of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number is the maximum possible number of edges in an $\mathcal{F}$-free…
Let $G$ be a graph each edge $e$ of which is given a length $\ell(e)$. This naturally induces a distance $d_\ell(x,y)$ between any two vertices $x,y$, and we let $\ell-TOP$ denote the completion of the corresponding metric space. It turns…
In this paper we consider graphs whose edges are associated with a degree of {\em importance}, which may depend on the type of connections they represent or on how recently they appeared in the scene, in a streaming setting. The goal is to…
We present novel graph kernels for graphs with node and edge labels that have ordered neighborhoods, i.e. when neighbor nodes follow an order. Graphs with ordered neighborhoods are a natural data representation for evolving graphs where…
In this paper we introduce the edge inducibility problem. This is a common refinement of both the well known Kruskal--Katona theorem and the inducibility question introduced by Pippenger and Golumbic. Our first result is a hardness result.…
The chosen tool of this thesis is an extremal type approach. The lesson drawn by the theorems proved in the thesis is that surprisingly small compromise is necessary on the efficacy of the solutions to make the approach work. The problems…
An edge-colored directed graph is \emph{observable} if an agent that moves along its edges is able to determine his position in the graph after a sufficiently long observation of the edge colors. When the agent is able to determine his…
We state the graph-theoretic computational problem of finding tight paths in a directed, edge-weighted graph, as well as its simplification of finding tight pairs. These problems are motivated by the need of algorithms that find so-called…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and let $d(u,w)$ denote the length of a $u-w$ geodesic in $G$. For any $v\in V(G)$ and $e=xy\in E(G)$, let $d(e,v)=\min\{d(x,v),d(y,v)\}$. For distinct $e_1, e_2\in E(G)$, let…
An {\em ordered $r$-graph} is an $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered. Given $2\leq k\leq r$, an ordered $r$-graph $H$ is {\em interval} $k$-{\em partite} if there exist at least $k$ disjoint intervals in the ordering…
