We consider the flip-width of geometric graphs, a notion of graph width recently introduced by Toru\'nczyk. We prove that many different types of geometric graphs have unbounded flip-width. These include interval graphs, permutation graphs,…
In this paper we deal with a subclass of chordal graphs, which are simultaneously strictly chordal and interval, the strictly interval graphs. We present a new characterization of the class that leads to a simple linear recognition…
We show that computing canonical representations for circular-arc (CA) graphs reduces to computing certain subsets of vertices called flip sets. For a broad class of CA graphs, which we call uniform, it suffices to compute a CA…
Flip graphs of combinatorial and geometric objects are at the heart of many deep structural insights and connections between different branches of discrete mathematics and computer science. They also provide a natural framework for the…
In this paper we study locally chordal graphs, i.e. graphs where every small-radius ball is chordal. We prove four characterizations of locally chordal graphs. Two are counterparts of the classic descriptions of chordal graphs via induced…
We study the class of 1-perfectly orientable graphs, that is, graphs having an orientation in which every out-neighborhood induces a tournament. 1-perfectly orientable graphs form a common generalization of chordal graphs and circular arc…
Vertex splitting is a graph modification operation in which a vertex is replaced by multiple vertices such that the union of their neighborhoods equals the neighborhood of the original vertex. We introduce and study vertex splitting as a…
Shift graphs, introduced by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal in 1964, form one of the simplest known non-recursive constructions of triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic number. In this note, we identify a suprising property: for each…
A graph is said to be circular-arc if the vertices can be associated with arcs of a circle so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding arcs overlap. It is proved that the isomorphism of circular-arc graphs can be…
This paper presents a complete classification of minimal graph surfaces that admit graphical transformations into other minimal surfaces. These transformations are functions that map the height function of a minimal graph surface to another…
A graph is circle if there is a family of chords in a circle such that two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding chords cross each other. There are diverse characterizations of circle graphs, many of them using the notions of local…
An interval graph is considered improper if and only if it has a representation such that an interval contains another interval. Previously these have been investigated in terms of balance and minimal forbidden interval subgraphs for the…
A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of arcs of a circle. It is a well-studied graph model with numerous natural applications. A certifying algorithm is an algorithm that outputs a certificate, along with its answer (be it…
Circulant graphs are a widely studied family of graphs whose members possess varying amounts of symmetry. Although considerable progress has been made in finding the automorphism groups of circulant graphs under certain restrictions, a…
A graph is \emph{fan-crossing free} if it has a drawing in the plane so that each edge is crossed by independent edges, that is the crossing edges have distinct vertices. On the other hand, it is \emph{fan-crossing} if the crossing edges…
Graph learning is currently dominated by graph kernels, which, while powerful, suffer some significant limitations. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) offer a very appealing alternative, but processing graphs with CNNs is not trivial. To…
An interval graph is proper iff it has a representation in which no interval contains another. Fred Roberts characterized the proper interval graphs as those containing no induced star $K_{1,3}$. Proskurowski and Telle have studied…
We introduce the class of circular-arc H-graphs, which generalizes circular-arc graphs, particularly circular-arc bigraphs. We investigate two types of ordering-based characterizations of circular-arc r-graphs. Finally, we provide forbidden…
A proper edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,\ldots,t$ is called an \emph{interval cyclic $t$-coloring} if all colors are used, and the edges incident to each vertex $v\in V(G)$ are colored by $d_{G}(v)$ consecutive colors modulo…
A reductive characterization of arc-transitive circulants was given independently by Kovacs in 2004 and the first author in 2005. In this paper, we give an explicit characterization of arc-transitive circulants and their automorphism…
