In the sufficiently sparse case, we find the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degree sequence contains no edge from a specified set of edges. This enables us to enumerate loop-free digraphs and oriented graphs…

The maximum edge-weight clique problem is to find a clique whose sum of edge-weight is the maximum for a given edge-weighted undirected graph. The problem is NP-hard and some branch-and-bound algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we…

We consider single-source shortest path algorithms that perform a sequence of relaxation steps whose ordering depends only on the input graph structure and not on its weights or the results of prior steps. Each step examines one edge of the…
