We are motivated by a tantalizing open question in exact algorithms: can we detect whether an $n$-vertex directed graph $G$ has a Hamiltonian cycle in time significantly less than $2^n$? We present new randomized algorithms that improve…

In this work, for the given adjacency matrix of a graph, we present an algorithm which checks the connectivity of a graph and computes all of its connected components. Also, it is mathematically proved that the algorithm presents all the…

A polynomial-time exact algorithm for counting the number of directed acyclic graphs in a Markov equivalence class was recently given by Wien\"obst, Bannach, and Li\'skiewicz (AAAI 2021). In this paper, we consider the more general problem…

We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…

The famous Goldbach conjecture remains open for nearly three centuries. Recently Goldbach graphs are introduced to relate the problem with the literature of Graph Theory. It is shown that the connectedness of the graphs is equivalent to the…

A diagram $\mathcal{D} = (G, l)$ over a monoid $M$ is an oriented graph $G = (V, E)$ endowed with a labeling $l\colon E \to M$. A diagram is commutative if and only if for any two oriented paths with the same endpoints, the products in $M$…

We address the problem of testing whether a dynamic graph is temporally connected, i.e. a temporal path ({\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the topology is given as an…

Mahlmann and Schindelhauer (2005) defined a Markov chain which they called $k$-Flipper, and showed that it is irreducible on the set of all connected regular graphs of a given degree (at least 3). We study the 1-Flipper chain, which we call…

We investigate the problem of detecting correlation between two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs $G(n,p)$, formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are independent, while under the alternative…

We prove that for $k+1\geq 3$ and $c>(k+1)/2$ w.h.p. the random graph on $n$ vertices, $cn$ edges and minimum degree $k+1$ contains a (near) perfect $k$-matching. As an immediate consequence we get that w.h.p. the $(k+1)$-core of $G_{n,p}$,…

After long-term efforts, the Hamilton path (cycle) problem for connected vertex-transitive graphs of order $pq$ (where $p$ and $q$ are primes) was finally resolved in 2021, see [10]. Fifteen years ago, mathematicians began addressing this…
