The pathwidth of a graph $G$ is the smallest $w\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $G$ can be constructed from a sequence of graphs, each on at most $w+1$ vertices, by gluing them together in a linear fashion. We provide a full classification of the…

For a connected graph, a path containing all vertices is known as \emph{Hamiltonian path}. For general graphs, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and the complexity of finding a…

We present an exact formula for the ordinary generating series of the simple paths between any two vertices of a graph. Our formula involves the adjacency matrix of the connected induced subgraphs and remains valid on weighted and directed…

We compute the Betti numbers of the edge rings of multi-path graphs using the \emph{induced-subgraph approach} introduced in \cite{WL1}. Here, a multi-path graph refers to a simple graph composed of several paths that have the same starting…

In this paper we introduce a path complex that can be regarded as a generalization of the notion of a simplicial complex. The main motivation for considering path complexes comes from directed graphs(digraphs). We obtain a new notion of the…

Consider a graph $G$ with a path $P$ of order $n$. What conditions force $G$ to also have a long induced path? As complete bipartite graphs have long paths but no long induced paths, a natural restriction is to forbid some fixed complete…

Graph generation techniques are increasingly being adopted for drug discovery. Previous graph generation approaches have utilized relatively small molecular building blocks such as atoms or simple cycles, limiting their effectiveness to…

In many areas of applied geometric/numeric computational mathematics, including geo-mapping, computer vision, computer graphics, finite element analysis, medical imaging, geometric design, and solid modeling, one has to compute incidences,…

Persistent homology (PH) has been widely applied to graph data to extract topological features. However, little attention has been paid to how different distance functions on a graph affect the resulting persistence barcodes and their…

For a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, let $G(\Gamma)$ denote the right-angled Artin group on the complement graph of $\Gamma$. In this article, we introduce the notions of "induced path lifting property" and "semi-induced path lifting…

A new method is given for computing generators of the homology groups with integer coefficients for any finite $T_0$-space. An important role in this method is played by irreducible cycles which are defined here and give rise to continuous…

In this paper, we show the following two theorems (here $c_{i}(G-X)$ is the number of components $C$ of $G-X$ with $|V(C)|=i$): (i)~If a graph $G$ satisfies $c_{1}(G-X)+\frac{1}{3}c_{3}(G-X)+\frac{1}{3}c_{5}(G-X)\leq \frac{2}{3}|X|$ for all…

Infinite graphs are finitary in the sense that their points are connected via finite paths. So what would an infinitary generalization of finite graphs look like? Usually this question is answered with the aid of topology, e.g. in the case…

Persistence diagrams (PDs), often characterized as sets of death and birth of homology class, have been known for providing a topological representation of a graph structure, which is often useful in machine learning tasks. Prior works rely…

Weighted digraphs are used to model a variety of natural systems and can exhibit interesting structure across a range of scales. In order to understand and compare these systems, we require stable, interpretable, multiscale descriptors. To…

Link prediction is an important learning task for graph-structured data. In this paper, we propose a novel topological approach to characterize interactions between two nodes. Our topological feature, based on the extended persistent…

Paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ are mutually induced if any two distinct $P_i$ and $P_j$ have neither common vertices nor adjacent vertices. The Induced Disjoint Paths problem is to decide if a graph $G$ with $k$ pairs of…

The study of complex systems has captured widespread attention in recent years, emphasizing the exploration of interactions and emergent properties among system units. Network analysis based on graph theory has emerged as a powerful…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in $H$ with degree sum at least $n$ in $G$. We say that $G$ is $H$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic…
