A sequence of non-negative integers is called a B_k sequence if all the sums of arbitrary k elements are different. In this paper, we will present a new estimation for the upper bound of B_k sequences.
There is substantial literature dealing with fixed parameter algorithms for the dominating set problem on various families of graphs. In this paper, we give a $k^{O(dk)} n$ time algorithm for finding a dominating set of size at most $k$ in…
An octilinear drawing of a planar graph is one in which each edge is drawn as a sequence of horizontal, vertical and diagonal at 45 degrees line-segments. For such drawings to be readable, special care is needed in order to keep the number…
Canonical orderings [STOC'88, FOCS'92] have been used as a key tool in graph drawing, graph encoding and visibility representations for the last decades. We study a far-reaching generalization of canonical orderings to non-planar graphs…
A nonbinary Ford sequence is a de Bruijn sequence generated by simple rules that determine the priorities of what symbols are to be tried first, given an initial word of size $n$ which is the order of the sequence being generated. This set…
An oriented graph is a directed graph without directed 2-cycles. Poljak and Turz\'{i}k (1986) proved that every connected oriented graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs contains an acyclic subgraph with at least $\frac{m}{2}+\frac{n-1}{4}$…
A universal cycle for a set S of combinatorial objects is a cyclic sequence of length |S| that contains a representative of each element in S exactly once as a substring. Despite the many universal cycle constructions known in the…
Binary periodic sequences with good autocorrelation property have many applications in many aspects of communication. In past decades many series of such binary sequences have been constructed. In the application of cryptography, such…
The nodes of the de Bruijn graph B(d,3) consist of all strings of length 3, taken from an alphabet of size d, with edges between words which are distinct substrings of a word of length 4. We give an inductive characterization of the maximum…
In 2012, Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Ossona de Mendez proved that graphs of bounded degeneracy that have a path of order $n$ also have an induced path of order $\Omega(\log \log n)$. In this paper we give an almost matching upper bound by…
The discrepancy of a binary string is the maximum (absolute) difference between the number of ones and the number of zeroes over all possible substrings of the given binary string. In this note we determine the minimal discrepancy that a…
This paper proves the existence of $t$-identifying codes on the class of undirected de Bruijn graphs with string length $n$ and alphabet size $d$, referred to as $\mathcal{B}(d,n)$. It is shown that $\mathcal{B}(d,n)$ is $t$-identifiable…
We present algorithms that extend the path-based hierarchical drawing framework and give experimental results. Our algorithms run in $O(km)$ time, where $k$ is the number of paths and $m$ is the number of edges of the graph, and provide…
The problem of enumerating all connected induced subgraphs of a given order $k$ from a given graph arises in many practical applications: bioinformatics, information retrieval, processor design,to name a few. The upper bound on the number…
Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…
Let $\widetilde{\alpha}$ be a length-$L$ cyclic sequence of characters from a size-$K$ alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ such that the number of occurrences of any length-$m$ string on $\mathcal{A}$ as a substring of $\widetilde{\alpha}$ is $\lfloor L…
We put forward new general criteria to design successor rules that generate binary de Bruijn sequences. Prior fast algorithms based on successor rules in the literature are then shown to be special instances. We implemented the criteria to…
If the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ are totally ordered, a simple path whose edges are in ascending order is called increasing. The worst-case length of the longest increasing path has remained an open problem for several decades, with…
A $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate distance oracle of an edge-weighted graph is a data structure that returns an approximate shortest path distance between any two query vertices up to a $(1+\epsilon)$ factor. Thorup (FOCS 2001, JACM 2004) and…
We introduce a variant of de Bruijn words that we call perfect necklaces. Fix a finite alphabet. Recall that a word is a finite sequence of symbols in the alphabet and a circular word, or necklace, is the equivalence class of a word under…
