Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…
We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a linear number of edges with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics was known. Using analytic combinatorics, i.e. generating function manipulations,…
We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…
We study the problem of sampling a uniformly random directed rooted spanning tree, also known as an arborescence, from a possibly weighted directed graph. Classically, this problem has long been known to be polynomial-time solvable; the…
In the recent research of data mining, frequent structures in a sequence of graphs have been studied intensively, and one of the main concern is changing structures along a sequence of graphs that can capture dynamic properties of data. On…
In order to study real-world systems, many applied works model them through signed graphs, i.e. graphs whose edges are labeled as either positive or negative. Such a graph is considered as structurally balanced when it can be partitioned…
Graph clustering is a fundamental technique in data analysis with applications in many different fields. While there is a large body of work on clustering undirected graphs, the problem of clustering directed graphs is much less understood.…
A polynomial-time exact algorithm for counting the number of directed acyclic graphs in a Markov equivalence class was recently given by Wien\"obst, Bannach, and Li\'skiewicz (AAAI 2021). In this paper, we consider the more general problem…
Subgraph isomorphism counting is known as #P-complete and requires exponential time to find the accurate solution. Utilizing representation learning has been shown as a promising direction to represent substructures and approximate the…
Motivated by hybrid graph representations, we introduce and study the following beyond-planarity problem, which we call $h$-Clique2Path Planarity: Given a graph $G$, whose vertices are partitioned into subsets of size at most $h$, each…
We provide a deterministic algorithm for computing the $5$-edge-connected components of an undirected multigraph in linear time. There were probably good indications that this computation can be performed in linear time, but no such…
We consider the problem of sampling from the uniform distribution on the set of Eulerian orientations of subgraphs of the triangular lattice. Although it is known that this can be achieved in polynomial time for any graph, the algorithm…
These notes loosely follow an introductory course on graph complexes, held at Humboldt-Universit\"at zu Berlin in summer 23. Instead of simply typing up my lecture notes I decided to give here an overview over (parts of) the topic (lecture…
We examine the computational complexity of approximately counting the list H-colourings of a graph. We discover a natural graph-theoretic trichotomy based on the structure of the graph H. If H is an irreflexive bipartite graph or a…
Completion problems, of recovering a point from a set of observed coordinates, are abundant in applications to image reconstruction, phylogenetics, and data science. We consider a completion problem coming from algebraic statistics: to…
The coefficients of the chain polynomial of a finite poset enumerate chains in the poset by their number of elements. The chain polynomials of the partition lattices and their standard type $B$ analogues are shown to have only real roots.…
We consider a weighted counting problem on matchings, denoted $\textrm{PrMatching}(\mathcal{G})$, on an arbitrary fixed graph family $\mathcal{G}$. The input consists of a graph $G\in \mathcal{G}$ and of rational probabilities of existence…

A search technique locating network modules, i.e., internally densely connected groups of nodes in directed networks is introduced by extending the Clique Percolation Method originally proposed for undirected networks. After giving a…
Define an expansion poset to be the poset of monomials of a cluster variable attached to an arc in a polygon, where each monomial is represented by the corresponding combinatorial object from some fixed combinatorial cluster expansion…
