In 2006, Bar\'at and Thomassen posed the following conjecture: for each tree $T$, there exists a natural number $k_T$ such that, if $G$ is a $k_T$-edge-connected graph and $|E(G)|$ is divisible by $|E(T)|$, then $G$ admits a decomposition…
We provide a canonical decomposition for a class of bipartite grafts known as combs. As every bipartite graft is a recursive combination of combs, our results provides a canonical decomposition for general bipartite grafts. Our new…
It has recently been shown in [\emph{Discrete Appl. Math.} {\bf 366} (2025) 75--85] that the resonance graph of a plane elementary bipartite graph $G$ is a daisy cube if and only if $G$ is peripherally 2-colorable. Let $G$ be a peripherally…
In this paper, we revisit the split decomposition of graphs and give new combinatorial and algorithmic results for the class of totally decomposable graphs, also known as the distance hereditary graphs, and for two non-trivial subclasses,…
Graph polynomials encode fundamental combinatorial invariants of graphs. Their computation is investigated using tree and path decomposition frameworks, with formal definitions of treewidth, k-trees, and pathwidth establishing the…
A computable graph $\mathcal{G}$ is computably categorical relative to a degree $\mathbf{d}$ if and only if for all $\mathbf{d}$-computable copies $\mathcal{B}$ of $\mathcal{G}$, there is a $\mathbf{d}$-computable isomorphism…
A {\em $(d,h)$-decomposition} of a graph $G$ is an order pair $(D,H)$ such that $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ where $H$ has the maximum degree at most $h$ and $D$ is an acyclic orientation of $G-E(H)$ of maximum out-degree at most $d$. A graph…
In matching theory, one of the most fundamental and classical branches of combinatorics, {\em canonical decompositions} of graphs are powerful and versatile tools that form the basis of this theory. However, the abilities of the known…
The directions of an infinite graph $G$ are a tangle-like description of its ends: they are choice functions that choose compatibly for all finite vertex sets $X\subseteq V(G)$ a component of $G-X$. Although every direction is induced by a…
In the context of complex algebraic varieties, the decomposition theorem for semi-small maps provides a decomposition of the direct image of the constant sheaf. In this work, we develop a decomposition theorem for branched coverings of…
A separation of a graph $G$ is a partition $(A_1, A_2, C)$ of $V(G)$ such that $A_1$ is anticomplete to $A_2$. A classic result from Robertson and Seymour's Graph Minors Project states that there is a correspondence between tree…
It is shown that a flat subgroup, $H$, of the totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ decomposes into a finite number of subsemigroups on which the scale function is multiplicative. The image, $P$, of a multiplicative semigroup in…
A $c$-labeling $\phi: V(G) \rightarrow \{1, 2, \hdots, c \}$ of graph $G$ is distinguishing if, for every non-trivial automorphism $\pi$ of $G$, there is some vertex $v$ so that $\phi(v) \neq \phi(\pi(v))$. The distinguishing number of $G$,…
The modular decomposition of a graph $G$ is a natural construction to capture key features of $G$ in terms of a labeled tree $(T,t)$ whose vertices are labeled as "series" ($1$), "parallel" ($0$) or "prime". However, full information of $G$…
We introduce the standard decomposition, a way of decomposing a labeled graph into a sum of certain labeled subgraphs. We motivate this graph-theoretic concept by relating it to Connect Four decompositions of standard sets. We prove that…
We introduce the notion of a `canonical' splitting over Z or ZxZ for a finitely generated group G. We show that when G happens to be the fundamental group of an orientable Haken manifold M with incompressible boundary, then the…
Decomposing a graph into a hierarchical structure via $k$-core analysis is a standard operation in any modern graph-mining toolkit. $k$-core decomposition is a simple and efficient method that allows to analyze a graph beyond its mere…
Let $F=\{H_1,...,H_k\}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ with $m$ edges is called {\em totally $F$-decomposable} if for {\em every} linear combination of the form $\alpha_1 e(H_1) + ... + \alpha_k e(H_k) = m$ where each $\alpha_i$ is a…
A decomposition of a graph is a set of subgraphs whose edges partition those of $G$. The 3-decomposition conjecture posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof in 2011 states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a…
Massive networks have shown that the determination of dense subgraphs, where vertices interact a lot, is necessary in order to visualize groups of common interest, and therefore be able to decompose a big graph into smaller structures. Many…
