Graph structure expression plays a vital role in distinguishing various graphs. In this work, we propose a Structure-Sensitive Graph Dictionary Embedding (SS-GDE) framework to transform input graphs into the embedding space of a graph…
Graph partition is a key component to achieve workload balance and reduce job completion time in parallel graph processing systems. Among the various partition strategies, edge partition has demonstrated more promising performance in…
We continue the study of the $k$-cut complex $\Delta_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ initiated in the paper of Bayer, Denker, Jeli\'c Milutinovi\'c, Rowlands, Sundaram and Xue [Topology of cut complexes of graphs, SIAM J. on Discrete Math. 38(2):…
Boxicity of a graph $G(V,$ $E)$, denoted by $box(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$ can be represented as the intersection graph of axis parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^k$. The problem of computing boxicity is inapproximable even…
In this paper we consider the separability problem for bipartite quantum states arising from graphs. Earlier it was proved that the degree criterion is the graph-theoretic counterpart of the familiar positive partial transpose criterion for…
A graph $G$ admiting a $2$-factor is \textit{pseudo $2$-factor isomorphic} if the parity of the number of cycles in all its $2$-factors is the same. In [M. Abreu, A.A. Diwan, B. Jackson, D. Labbate and J. Sheehan. Pseudo $2$-factor…
Graph data widely exist in many high-impact applications. Inspired by the success of deep learning in grid-structured data, graph neural network models have been proposed to learn powerful node-level or graph-level representation. However,…

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…
In Defective Coloring we are given a graph $G = (V, E)$ and two integers $\chi_d, \Delta^*$ and are asked if we can partition $V$ into $\chi_d$ color classes, so that each class induces a graph of maximum degree $\Delta^*$. We investigate…
For CSS syndrome decoding, the two check matrices impose binary parity-check constraints on the two Pauli error components. The posterior can therefore be written as a binary factor graph with two Tanner graphs coupled by the local joint…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Denoting by ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ the set of the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$, we consider the {\it character degree graph} of $G$: this is the (simple, undirected) graph whose vertices are the…
We study the problem of deterministic approximate counting of matchings and independent sets in graphs of bounded connective constant. More generally, we consider the problem of evaluating the partition functions of the monomer-dimer model…

Let $\mbox{odd}(G)$ and $i(G)$ denote the number of nontrivial odd components and the number of isolated vertices of a graph $G$, respectively. The $k$-Berge-Tutte-formula of a graph $G$ is defined as:…
The complexity of the matching polytope of graphs may be measured with the maximum length $\beta$ of a starting sequence of odd ears in an ear-decomposition. Indeed, a theorem of Edmonds and Pulleyblank shows that its facets are defined by…
While graphs and abstract data structures can be large and complex, practical instances are often regular or highly structured. If the instance has sufficient structure, we might hope to compress the object into a more succinct…
Let $v$ be a vertex of a graph $G$. By the local complementation of $G$ at $v$ we mean to complement the subgraph induced by the neighbors of $v$. This operator can be generalized as follows. Assume that, each edge of $G$ has a label in the…
