Finding maximum-cardinality matchings in undirected graphs is arguably one of the most central graph primitives. For $m$-edge and $n$-vertex graphs, it is well-known to be solvable in $O(m\sqrt{n})$ time; however, for several applications…

In directed graphs, a cycle can be seen as a structure that allows its vertices to loop back to themselves, or as a structure that allows pairs of vertices to reach each other through distinct paths. We extend these concepts to temporal…

The \emph{Product Structure Theorem} for planar graphs (Dujmovi\'c et al.\ \emph{JACM}, \textbf{67}(4):22) states that any planar graph is contained in the strong product of a planar $3$-tree, a path, and a $3$-cycle. We give a simple…

We prove that triangulated IC-planar and NIC-planar graphs can be recognized in cubic time. A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. A drawing is IC-planar if, in addition, each vertex is…

A fundamental algorithmic problem in computational biology is to find all subgraphs of a given type (superbubbles, snarls, and ultrabubbles) in a directed or bidirected input graph. These correspond to regions of genetic variation and are…

We present a method that allows for the discovery of communities within graphs of arbitrary size in times that scale linearly with their size. This method avoids edge cutting and is based on notions of voltage drops across networks that are…

We present the first optimal algorithm for the classical problem of listing all the cycles in an undirected graph. We exploit their properties so that the total cost is the time taken to read the input graph plus the time to list the…

Most algorithms for decentralized learning employ a consensus or diffusion mechanism to drive agents to a common solution of a global optimization problem. Generally this takes the form of linear averaging, at a rate of contraction…

A method for considering a weighted directed graph with an accuracy of up to a given partition of the set of vertices is proposed. The resulting digraph (the splitting graph) does not contain arcs inside each partition element, and the arcs…

The clique-width is a measure of complexity of decomposing graphs into certain tree-like structures. The class of graphs with bounded clique-width contains bounded tree-width graphs. We give a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for…

We consider the problem of uniformly generating a spanning tree, of a connected undirected graph. This process is useful to compute statistics, namely for phylogenetic trees. We describe a Markov chain for producing these trees. For cycle…

We present a deterministic linear-time algorithm for finding an odd cycle through two specified vertices in an undirected graph. This is shown in a generalized form as follows: Let $\Gamma$ be any group in which every element is of order at…

We investigate the structure of graphs of twin-width at most $1$, and obtain the following results: - Graphs of twin-width at most $1$ are permutation graphs. In particular they have an intersection model and a linear structure. - There is…

In the past decades for more and more graph classes the Graph Isomorphism Problem was shown to be solvable in polynomial time. An interesting family of graph classes arises from intersection graphs of geometric objects. In this work we show…

A graph $G$ is said to be a $(k,\ell)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. It is well established that the recognition problem for $(k,\ell)$-graphs is NP-complete whenever $k \geq 3$ or…

It has been known since 1991 that the problem of recognizing grid intersection graphs is NP-complete. Here we use a modified argument of the above result to show that even if we restrict to the class of unit grid intersection graphs…

A block graph is a graph in which every block is a complete graph. Let $G$ be a block graph and let $A(G)$ be its (0,1)-adjacency matrix. Graph $G$ is called nonsingular (singular) if $A(G)$ is nonsingular (singular). Characterizing…
