A theorem of Ding, Oporowski, Oxley, and Vertigan implies that any sufficiently large twin-free graph contains a large matching, a co-matching, or a half-graph as a semi-induced subgraph. The sizes of these unavoidable patterns are measured…

We consider the problems of finding optimal identifying codes, (open) locating-dominating sets and resolving sets (denoted IDENTIFYING CODE, (OPEN) LOCATING-DOMINATING SET and METRIC DIMENSION) of an interval or a permutation graph. In…

We study the problem of checking the existence of a step-by-step transformation of $d$-regular induced subgraphs in a graph, where $d \ge 0$ and each step in the transformation must follow a fixed reconfiguration rule. Our problem for $d=0$…

In reconfiguration problems, we are given two feasible solutions to a graph problem and asked whether one can be transformed into the other via a sequence of feasible intermediate solutions under a given reconfiguration rule. While earlier…

A dominating set $S$ in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A minimal dominating set $M$ is a dominating set such that $M-v$ is not a dominating set for all $v \in M$. In…

Let $G$ be a planar graph and $I_s$ and $I_t$ be two independent sets in $G$, each of size $k$. We begin with a "token" on each vertex of $I_s$ and seek to move all tokens to $I_t$, by repeated "token jumping", removing a single token from…

Given a static vertex-selection problem (e.g. independent set, dominating set) on a graph, we can define a corresponding temporally satisfying reconfiguration problem on a temporal graph which asks for a sequence of solutions to the…

We study a new reconfiguration problem inspired by classic mechanical puzzles: a colored token is placed on each vertex of a given graph; we are also given a set of distinguished cycles on the graph. We are tasked with rearranging the…

For a graph $H$ and an integer $k\ge 1$, the \emph{Token Sliding reconfiguration graph} $\mathsf{TS}_k(H)$ and the \emph{Token Jumping reconfiguration graph} $\mathsf{TJ}_k(H)$ have as vertices the $k$-cliques of $H$, with two vertices…

For a fixed integer $r \geq 1$, a distance-$r$ dominating set (D$r$DS) of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a vertex subset $D \subseteq V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is within distance $r$ from some member of $D$. Given two D$r$DSs $D_s, D_t$ of…

In the GEODETIC SET problem, an input is a (di)graph $G$ and integer $k$, and the objective is to decide whether there exists a vertex subset $S$ of size $k$ such that any vertex in $V(G)\setminus S$ lies on a shortest (directed) path…
