Graph machine learning has advanced rapidly in tasks such as link prediction, anomaly detection, and node classification. As models scale up, pretrained graph models have become valuable intellectual assets because they encode extensive…
Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the spread of social contagion. Initially, all vertices are unburned. In each round, one unburned vertex is selected and burned, while any unburned vertex that has a burned neighbour from…
We prove that the \emph{standard zero forcing number} $Z(G)$ and the \emph{positive semidefinite zero forcing number} $Z_+(G)$ are equal for all claw-free graphs $G$. This result resolves a conjecture proposed by the computer program…
We show a method how to convert any graph into the binary number and vice versa. We derive upper bound for maximum number of graphs, that, have fixed number of vertices and can be colored with n colors (n is any given number). Proof for the…
Interdiction problems are leader-follower games in which the leader is allowed to delete a certain number of edges from the graph in order to maximally impede the follower, who is trying to solve an optimization problem on the impeded…
Fractional graph isomorphism is the linear relaxation of an integer programming formulation of graph isomorphism. It preserves some invariants of graphs, like degree sequences and equitable partitions, but it does not preserve others like…
A numbering $f$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a labeling that assigns distinct elements of the set $\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} $ to the vertices of $G$. The strength $\textrm{str}_{f}\left( G\right)$ of a numbering $f:V\left( G\right)…
Integer forcing is an equalization scheme for the multiple-input multiple-output communication channel that has been demonstrated to allow operating close to capacity for "most" channels. In this work, the measure of "bad" channels is…
For unweighted graphs, finding isometric embeddings is closely related to decompositions of $G$ into Cartesian products of smaller graphs. When $G$ is isomorphic to a Cartesian graph product, we call the factors of this product a…
In this paper, we study the conflict-free coloring of graphs induced by neighborhoods. A coloring of a graph is conflict-free if every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its neighborhood. The conflict-free coloring problem is to color…
A sequence of vertices in a graph is called a legal dominating sequence if every vertex in the sequence dominates at least one vertex not dominated by those that precede it, and at the end all vertices of the graph are dominated. The Grundy…
First-fit is the online graph coloring algorithm that considers vertices one at a time in some order and assigns each vertex the least positive integer not used already on a neighbor. The maximum number of colors used by first-fit on graph…
Many problems can be presented in an abstract form through a wide range of binary objects and relations which are defined over problem domain. In these problems, graphical demonstration of defined binary objects and solutions is the most…
In this paper, we introduce the following new concept in graph drawing. Our task is to find a small collection of drawings such that they all together satisfy some property that is useful for graph visualization. We propose investigating a…
Vertex integrity is a graph parameter that measures the connectivity of a graph. Informally, its meaning is that a graph has small vertex integrity if it has a small separator whose removal disconnects the graph into connected components…
We consider the problem of minimizing the number of broadcasts for collecting all sensor measurements at a sink node in a noisy broadcast sensor network. Focusing first on arbitrary network topologies, we provide (i) fundamental limits on…
The minimum forcing number of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of edges simultaneously contained in a unique perfect matching of $G$. Zhang, Ye and Shiu \cite{HDW} showed that the minimum forcing number of any fullerene graph was bounded…
Motivated by a conjecture from the automated conjecturing program TxGraffiti, in this paper the relationship between the zero forcing number, $Z(G)$, and the vertex independence number, $\alpha(G)$, of cubic and subcubic graphs is explored.…
We introduce a generalization of the concept of a chronological list of forces, called a relaxed chronology. This concept is used to introduce a new way of formulating the standard zero forcing process, which we refer to as parallel…
The concept of Reload cost in a graph refers to the cost that occurs while traversing a vertex via two of its incident edges. This cost is uniquely determined by the colors of the two edges. This concept has various applications in…
