We investigate a special case of the Induced Subgraph Isomorphism problem, where both input graphs are interval graphs. We show the NP-hardness of this problem, and we prove fixed-parameter tractability of the problem with non-standard…

The problem of Subgraph Isomorphism is defined as follows: Given a pattern H and a host graph G on n vertices, does G contain a subgraph that is isomorphic to H? Eppstein [SODA 95, J'GAA 99] gives the first linear time algorithm for…

In a connected simple graph G = (V,E), each vertex of V is colored by a color from the set of colors C={c1, c2,..., c_{\alpha}}$. We take a subset S of V, such that for every vertex v in V\S, at least one vertex of the same color is present…

We consider the problem of designing deterministic graph algorithms for the model of Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) that improve with the sparsity of the input graph, as measured by the notion of arboricity. For the problems of…

The graph retrieval problem is to search in a large corpus of graphs for ones that are most similar to a query graph. A common consideration for scoring similarity is the maximum common subgraph (MCS) between the query and corpus graphs,…

We study the recently introduced problem of finding dense common subgraphs: Given a sequence of graphs that share the same vertex set, the goal is to find a subset of vertices $S$ that maximizes some aggregate measure of the density of the…

Finding the common structural features of two molecules is a fundamental task in cheminformatics. Most drugs are small molecules, which can naturally be interpreted as graphs. Hence, the task is formalized as maximum common subgraph…

The graph alignment problem aims to identify the vertex correspondence between two correlated graphs. Most existing studies focus on the scenario in which the two graphs share the same vertex set. However, in many real-world applications,…

An ordered graph is a graph enhanced with a linear order on the vertex set. An ordered graph is a core if it does not have an order-preserving homomorphism to a proper subgraph. We say that $H$ is the core of $G$ if (i) $H$ is a core, (ii)…

We show that there exists a graph $G$ with $O(n)$ nodes, where any forest of $n$ nodes is a node-induced subgraph of $G$. Furthermore, for constant arboricity $k$, the result implies the existence of a graph with $O(n^k)$ nodes that…
