We view hyper-graphs as incidence graphs, i.e. bipartite graphs with a set of nodes representing vertices and a set of nodes representing hyper-edges, with two nodes being adjacent if the corresponding vertex belongs to the corresponding…
A hypergraph is a data structure composed of nodes and hyperedges, where each hyperedge is an any-sized subset of nodes. Due to the flexibility in hyperedge size, hypergraphs represent group interactions (e.g., co-authorship by more than…
A hypergraph is a generalization of a graph where edges can connect any number of vertices. In this paper, we extend the study of locating-dominating sets to hypergraphs. Along with some basic results, sharp bounds for the…
Several systems can be represented by hypergraphs, an extension of graphs with associations between any number of vertices. These natural hypergraphs doe not appear at once. They are generated by some dynamical process of hypergraph…
This study delves into the incidence matrices of hypergraphs, with a focus on two types: the edge-vertex incidence matrix and the vertex-edge incidence matrix. The edge-vertex incidence matrix is a matrix in which the rows represent…
In this paper a relationship is established between the domination game and minimal edge cuts. It is proved that the game domination number of a connected graph can be bounded above in terms of the size of minimal edge cuts. In particular,…
The minimum $s$-$t$ cut problem in graphs is one of the most fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization, and graph cuts underlie algorithms throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, operations research, and data…
Like termination, confluence is a central property of rewrite systems. Unlike for termination, however, there exists no known complexity hierarchy for confluence. In this paper we investigate whether the decreasing diagrams technique can be…
Dominating sets and resolving sets have important applications in control theory and computer science. In this paper, we introduce an edge-analog of the classical dominant metric dimension of graphs. By combining the concepts of a…
The power domination problem seeks to find the placement of the minimum number of sensors needed to monitor an electric power network. We generalize the power domination problem to hypergraphs using the infection rule from Bergen et al:…
We develop a theory of confluence of graphs. We describe an algorithm for proving that a given system of reduction rules for abstract graphs and graphs in surfaces is locally confluent. We apply this algorithm to show that each simple Lie…
A hypergraph is said to be $1$-Sperner if for every two hyperedges the smallest of their two set differences is of size one. We present several applications of $1$-Sperner hypergraphs and their structure to graphs. In particular, we…
Consider a random hypergraph on a set of N vertices in which, for k between 1 and N, a Poisson(N beta_k) number of hyperedges is scattered randomly over all subsets of size k. We collapse the hypergraph by running the following algorithm to…
Directed and heterogeneous hypergraphs capture directional higher-order interactions with intrinsically asymmetric functional dependencies among nodes. As a result, damage to certain nodes can suppress entire hyperedges, whereas failure of…
A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph or hypergraph is hitting if $M$ covers each vertex of $H$ at least once, and $M$ is $t$-shallow if it covers each vertex of $H$ at most $t$ times. We consider the existence of shallow hitting edge sets…
A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…
Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph. Let $C\subseteq E$, then $C$ is an {\it edge cover}, or a {\it set cover}, if $\cup_{e\in C} \{v|v\in e\}=V$. A subset of vertices $X$ is {\it independent} in $H,$ if no two vertices in $X$ are in any edge.…
An edge dominating set $F$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an \textit{edge cut dominating set} if the subgraph $\langle V,G-F \rangle$ is disconnected. The \textit{edge cut domination number} $\gamma_{ct}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of an…
Influence maximization in complex networks, i.e., maximizing the size of influenced nodes via selecting K seed nodes for a given spreading process, has attracted great attention in recent years. However, the influence maximization problem…
Given two subsets A and B of nodes in a directed graph, the conduciveness of the graph from A to B is the ratio representing how many of the edges outgoing from nodes in A are incoming to nodes in B. When the graph's nodes stand for the…
