A graph in which all minimal zero forcing sets are in fact minimum size is called ``well-forced." This paper characterizes well-forced trees and presents an algorithm for determining which trees are well-forced. Additionally, we…
In two recent papers by Veitch and Roy and by Borgs, Chayes, Cohn, and Holden, a new class of sparse random graph processes based on the concept of graphexes over $\sigma$-finite measure spaces has been introduced. In this paper, we…
In this paper we give a method for constructing systematically all simple 2-connected graphs with n vertices from the set of simple 2-connected graphs with n-1 vertices, by means of two operations: subdivision of an edge and addition of a…
We describe an algorithm that recognizes some (perhaps all) intrinsically knotted (IK) graphs, and can help find knotless embeddings for graphs that are not IK. The algorithm, implemented as a Mathematica program, has already been used by…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ be its extension graph. We inductively define a sequence $\{\Gamma_i\}$ of finite induced subgraphs of $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ through successive applications of an operation called…
A matrix-compression algorithm is derived from a novel isogenic block decomposition for square matrices. The resulting compression and inflation operations possess strong functorial and spectral-permanence properties. The basic observation…
The enumeration of minimal connected dominating sets is known to be notoriously hard for general graphs. Currently, it is only known that the sets can be enumerated slightly faster than $\mathcal{O}^{*}(2^n)$ and the algorithm is highly…
It is well-known that every vertex-transitive graph admits a representation as a coset graph. In this paper, we extend this construction by introducing monodromy graphs defined through double cosets. Our main result establishes that every…
In Two-Sets Cut-Uncut, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and two terminal sets $S$ and $T$. The task is to find a minimum cut $C$ in $G$ (if there is any) separating $S$ from $T$ under the following ``uncut'' condition. In the…
In vertex-cut sparsification, given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with a terminal set $T\subseteq V$, we wish to construct a graph $G'=(V',E')$ with $T\subseteq V'$, such that for every two sets of terminals $A,B\subseteq T$, the size of a minimum…
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
Given graphs $G$ and $H$, we propose a method to implicitly enumerate topological-minor-embeddings of $H$ in $G$ using decision diagrams. We show a useful application of our method to enumerating subgraphs characterized by forbidden…
We introduce a graph decomposition which exists for all simple, connected graphs $G=(V,E)$. The decomposition $V = A \cup B \cup C$ is such that each vertex in $A$ has more neighbors in $B$ than in $A$ and vice versa. $C$ is `balanced':…
A homogeneous set of an $n$-vertex graph is a set $X$ of vertices ($2\le |X|\le n-1$) such that every vertex not in $X$ is either complete or anticomplete to $X$. A graph is called prime if it has no homogeneous set. A chain of length $t$…
Current methods which compress multisets at an optimal rate have computational complexity that scales linearly with alphabet size, making them too slow to be practical in many real-world settings. We show how to convert a compression…
The automorphisms of a graph act naturally on its set of labeled imbeddings to produce its unlabeled imbeddings. The imbedding sum of a graph is a polynomial that contains useful information about a graph's labeled and unlabeled imbeddings.…
This work is motivated by the necessity to automate the discovery of structure in vast and evergrowing collection of relational data commonly represented as graphs, for example genomic networks. A novel algorithm, dubbed Graphitour, for…
We generalize the problem of reconstructing strings from their substring compositions first introduced by Acharya et al. in 2015 motivated by polymer-based advanced data storage systems utilizing mass spectrometry. Namely, we see strings as…
A multigraph $G = (V, E)$ is $(k, \ell)$-sparse if every subset $X \subseteq V$ induces at most $\max\{k|X| - \ell, 0\}$ edges. Finding a maximum-size $(k, \ell)$-sparse subgraph is a classical problem in rigidity theory and combinatorial…
A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, these graphs are studied by presenting some examples and defining some of their sub-structures such as removable…
