We introduce a new subclass of chordal graphs that generalizes split graphs, which we call well-partitioned chordal graphs. Split graphs are graphs that admit a partition of the vertex set into cliques that can be arranged in a star…
A realization of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a map $v\colon V\to\Bbb R^d$ that assigns to each vertex a point in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. We study graph realizations from the perspective of representation theory (expressing certain…
A $3$-uniform hypergraph is a generalization of simple graphs where each hyperedge is a subset of vertices of size $3$. The degree of a vertex in a hypergraph is the number of hyperedges incident with it. The degree sequence of a hypergraph…
For a degree sequence, we define the set of edges that appear in every labeled realization of that sequence as forced, while the edges that appear in none as forbidden. We examine structure of graphs whose degree sequences contain either…
For any particular class of graphs, algorithms for computational problems restricted to the class often rely on structural properties that depend on the specific problem at hand. This begs the question if a large set of such results can be…
In a directed graph, the imbalance of a vertex is its outdegree minus its indegree. We characterize the sequences that are realizable as the sequence of imbalances of a simple directed graph. Moreover, a realization of a realizable sequence…
One of the important features of an interconnection network is its ability to efficiently simulate programs or parallel algorithms written for other architectures. Such a simulation problem can be mathematically formulated as a graph…
In this paper, we consider the edge disjoint caterpillar realizations of tree degree sequences. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions when two tree degree sequences have edge disjoint caterpillar realizations. We conjecture that…
Property $(P)$, introduced in recent work and rooted in the classical theory of Parter vertices, concerns the existence of a nonsingular matrix $A\in S(G)$ for which every vertex of $G$ is a $P$-vertex. Previous investigations have fully…
Degree sequence (DS) problems are around for at least hundred twenty years, and with the advent of network science, more and more complicated, structured DS problems were invented. Interestingly enough all those problems so far are…
There is a well-known connection between hypergraphs and bipartite graphs, obtained by treating the incidence matrix of the hypergraph as the biadjacency matrix of a bipartite graph. We use this connection to describe and analyse a…
A secure set $S$ in a graph is defined as a set of vertices such that for any $X\subseteq S$ the majority of vertices in the neighborhood of $X$ belongs to $S$. It is known that deciding whether a set $S$ is secure in a graph is…
For a fixed property (graph class) ${\Pi}$, given a graph G and an integer k, the ${\Pi}$-deletion problem consists in deciding if we can turn $G$ into a graph with the property ${\Pi}$ by deleting at most $k$ edges. The ${\Pi}$-deletion…
We introduce the Multicolored Graph Realization problem (MGRP). The input to the problem is a colored graph $(G,\varphi)$, i.e., a graph together with a coloring on its vertices. We can associate to each colored graph a cluster graph…
A T-graph (a special case of a chordal graph) is the intersection graph of connected subtrees of a suitable subdivision of a fixed tree T . We deal with the isomorphism problem for T-graphs which is GI-complete in general - when T is a part…
In the Matching Cut problem we ask whether a graph $G$ has a matching cut, that is, a matching which is also an edge cut of $G$. We consider the variants Perfect Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching where we ask whether there…
We investigate the terminal-pairability problem in the case when the base graph is a complete bipartite graph, and the demand graph is a (not necessarily bipartite) multigraph on the same vertex set. In computer science, this problem is…
The subpath number of a graph G is defined as the total number of subpaths in G, and it is closely related to the number of subtrees, a well-studied topic in graph theory. This paper is a continuation of our previous paper [5], where we…
We consider the problem of finding a subgraph of a given graph which maximizes a given function evaluated at its degree sequence. While the problem is intractable already for convex functions, we show that it can be solved in polynomial…
A graph covering projection, also referred to as a locally bijective homomorphism, is a mapping between the vertices and edges of two graphs that preserves incidences and is a local bijection. This concept originates in topological graph…
