The cyclability of a graph is the maximum integer $k$ for which every $k$ vertices lie on a cycle. The algorithmic version of the problem, given a graph $G$ and a non-negative integer $k,$ decide whether the cyclability of $G$ is at least…
Supersingular elliptic curve isogeny graphs underlie isogeny-based cryptography. For isogenies of a single prime degree $\ell$, their structure has been investigated graph-theoretically. We generalise the notion of $\ell$-isogeny graphs to…
The notion of graph cover, also known as locally bijective homomorphism, is a discretization of covering spaces known from general topology. It is a pair of incidence-preserving vertex- and edge-mappings between two graphs, the…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a quasi-cyclic code of index $l(l\geq2)$. Let $G$ be the subgroup of the automorphism group of $\mathcal{C}$ generated by $\rho^l$ and the scalar multiplications of $\mathcal{C}$, where $\rho$ denotes the standard…
We consider the problem of finding edges of a hidden weighted graph using a certain type of queries. Let $G$ be a weighted graph with $n$ vertices. In the most general setting, the $n$ vertices are known and no other information about $G$…
Many load balancing problems that arise in scientific computing applications ask to partition a graph with weights on the vertices and costs on the edges into a given number of almost equally-weighted parts such that the maximum boundary…
The cycle double cover conjecture is a long standing problem in graph theory, which links local properties, the valency of a vertex and no bridges, and a global property of the graph, being covered by a particular set of cycles. We prove…
Let G be an edge weighted undirected graph. For every pair of nodes consider the shortest cycle containing these nodes in G. The cycle diameter of G is the maximum length of a cycle in this set. Let H be a directed graph obtained by…
An edge cover of a graph is a set of edges such that every vertex has at least an adjacent edge in it. Previously, approximation algorithm for counting edge covers is only known for 3 regular graphs and it is randomized. We design a very…
For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, let $ex(n,\mathcal{F})$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph which contains none of the members of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. A longstanding problem in extremal graph theory asks…
We initiate the algorithmic study of retracting a graph into a cycle in the graph, which seeks a mapping of the graph vertices to the cycle vertices, so as to minimize the maximum stretch of any edge, subject to the constraint that the…
In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing a hidden weighted hypergraph of constant rank using additive queries. We prove the following: Let $G$ be a weighted hidden hypergraph of constant rank with n vertices and $m$…
We study the complexity of some algorithmic problems on directed hypergraphs and their strongly connected components (SCCs). The main contribution is an almost linear time algorithm computing the terminal strongly connected components (i.e.…
For a graph G with real weights assigned to the vertices (edges), the MAX H-SUBGRAPH problem is to find an H-subgraph of G with maximum total weight, if one exists. The all-pairs MAX H-SUBGRAPH problem is to find for every pair of vertices…
The mean weight of a cycle in an edge-weighted graph is the sum of the cycle's edge weights divided by the cycle's length. We study the minimum mean-weight cycle on the complete graph on n vertices, with random i.i.d. edge weights drawn…
A bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is convex if the vertices in $V$ can be linearly ordered such that for each vertex $u\in U$, the neighbors of $u$ are consecutive in the ordering of $V$. An induced matching $H$ of $G$ is a matching such that…
A linear graph code is a family $\mathcal{C}$ of graphs on $n$ vertices with the property that the symmetric difference of the edge sets of any two graphs in $\mathcal{C}$ is also the edge set of a graph in $\mathcal{C}$. In this article,…
All the work made so far on edge-covering a graph by cliques focus on finding the minimum number of cliques that cover the graph. On this paper, we fix the number of cliques that cover a graph by the same number of vertices that the graph…
Connected Vertex Cover is one of the classical problems of computer science, already mentioned in the monograph of Garey and Johnson. Although the optimization and decision variants of finding connected vertex covers of minimum size or…
We consider the following dynamic load-balancing process: given an underlying graph $G$ with $n$ nodes, in each step $t\geq 0$, one unit of load is created, and placed at a randomly chosen graph node. In the same step, the chosen node picks…
