We study a model of random weighted uniform spanning trees on the complete graph with $n$ vertices, where each edge is assigned a weight of $n^{1+\gamma}$ with probability $1/n$ and $1$ otherwise. Whenever $\gamma$ is large enough, we prove…

Minimum $k$-Section denotes the NP-hard problem to partition the vertex set of a graph into $k$ sets of sizes as equal as possible while minimizing the cut width, which is the number of edges between these sets. When $k$ is an input…

The proper thinness of a graph is an invariant that generalizes the concept of a proper interval graph. Every graph has a numerical value of proper thinness and the graphs with proper thinness~1 are exactly the proper interval graphs. A…

We prove that every digraph of circumference $l$ has DAG-width at most $l$ and this is best possible. As a consequence of our result we deduce that the $k$-linkage problem is polynomially solvable for every fixed $k$ in the class of…

We prove that if a graph has a tree-decomposition of width at most w, then it has a tree-decomposition of width at most w with certain desirable properties. We will use this result in a subsequent paper to show that every 2-connected graph…

For a digraph $D=(V(D), A(D))$, and a set $S\subseteq V(D)$ with $r\in S$ and $|S|\geq 2$, an $(S, r)$-tree is an out-tree $T$ rooted at $r$ with $S\subseteq V(T)$. Two $(S, r)$-trees $T_1$ and $T_2$ are said to be arc-disjoint if…

We study the height of a spanning tree $T$ of a graph $G$ obtained by starting with a single vertex of $G$ and repeatedly selecting, uniformly at random, an edge of $G$ with exactly one endpoint in $T$ and adding this edge to $T$.

Let $d \geq 3$ be a fixed integer. We give an asympotic formula for the expected number of spanning trees in a uniformly random $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices. (The asymptotics are as $n\to\infty$, restricted to even $n$ if $d$ is…

The independence number of a tree decomposition is the maximum of the independence numbers of the subgraphs induced by its bags. The tree-independence number of a graph is the minimum independence number of a tree decomposition of it.…

Bayesian networks, with structure given by a directed acyclic graph (DAG), are a popular class of graphical models. However, learning Bayesian networks from discrete or categorical data is particularly challenging, due to the large…

In this paper we look at the problem of adjacency labeling of graphs. Given a family of undirected graphs the problem is to determine an encoding-decoding scheme for each member of the family such that we can decode the adjacency…

We study the Decomposition Conjecture posed by Bar\'at and Thomassen (2006), which states that for every tree $T$ there exists a natural number $k_T$ such that, if $G$ is a $k_T$-edge-connected graph and $|E(T)|$ divides $|E(G)|$, then $G$…

Aligning sequencing reads on graph representations of genomes is an important ingredient of pan-genomics. Such approaches typically find a set of local anchors that indicate plausible matches between substrings of a read to subpaths of the…

We show an algorithm that, given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, in time $2^{O(k \log k)} n^{O(1)}$ finds a tree decomposition of $G$ with the following properties: * every adhesion of the tree decomposition is of size at most…

A directed acyclic graph (DAG) can represent a two-dimensional string or picture. We propose recognizing picture languages using DAG automata by encoding 2D inputs into DAGs. An encoding can be input-agnostic (based on input size only) or…
