Given a graph $G$ and a natural number $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-colourings of $G$ and whose edges link pairs of colourings which differ at exactly one vertex of $G$. Recently,…

A graph vertex-subset problem defines which subsets of the vertices of an input graph are feasible solutions. We view a feasible solution as a set of tokens placed on the vertices of the graph. A reconfiguration variant of a vertex-subset…

We study the Laplacian spectrum of token graphs, also called symmetric powers of graphs. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of vertices from $G$, two of which being adjacent whenever…

Many real-world networks were found to be highly clustered, and contain a large amount of small cliques. We here investigate the number of cliques of any size k contained in a geometric inhomogeneous random graph: a scale-free network model…

Different variations of alliances in graphs have been introduced into the graph-theoretic literature about twenty years ago. More broadly speaking, they can be interpreted as groups that collaborate to achieve a common goal, for instance,…

In this paper we give a new generalization of token graphs. Given two integers $1\leq m \leq k$ and a graph $G$ we define the generalized token graph of the graph $G$, to be the graph $F_k^m(G)$ whose vertices correspond to configurations…

Traditionally, reconfiguration problems ask the question whether a given solution of an optimization problem can be transformed to a target solution in a sequence of small steps that preserve feasibility of the intermediate solutions. In…

A new model for domination reconfiguration is introduced which combines the properties of the preexisting token addition/removal (TAR) and token sliding (TS) models. The vertices of the TARS-graph correspond to the dominating sets of $G$,…

We introduce $k$-robust clique complexes, a family of simplicial complexes that generalizes the traditional clique complex. Here, a subset of vertices forms a simplex provided it does not contain an independent set of size $k$. We…

Reconfiguration problems involve determining whether two given configurations can be transformed into each other under specific rules. The Token Sliding problem asks whether, given two different set of tokens on vertices of a graph $G$, we…

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…

\textsc{Directed Token Sliding} asks, given a directed graph and two sets of pairwise nonadjacent vertices, whether one can reach from one set to the other by repeatedly applying a local operation that exchanges a vertex in the current set…

We present the first results on the complexity of the reconfiguration of vertex separators under the three most popular rules: token addition/removal, token jumping, and token sliding. We show that, aside from some trivially negative…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. The $k$-token graph (or symmetric $k$-th power) of $G$, denoted by $F_k(G)$ has as vertices the ${n\choose k}$ $k$-subsets of vertices from $G$, and two vertices are adjacent when their symmetric…

We initiate a study of the vertex clique covering numbers of Johnson graphs $J(N, k)$, the smallest numbers of cliques necessary to cover the vertices of those graphs. We prove identities for the values of these numbers when $k \leq 3$, and…

Subgraph reconfiguration is a family of problems focusing on the reachability of the solution space in which feasible solutions are subgraphs, represented either as sets of vertices or sets of edges, satisfying a prescribed graph structure…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $1 \le k \le n$ a fixed integer. The \textit{$k$-token graph} of $G$ is the graph $F_k(G)$ whose vertex set consists of all $k$-subsets of the vertex set of $G$, where two vertices $A$ and $B$ are…
