We give a non-deterministic algorithm that expresses elements of SL_N(Z), for N > 2, as words in a finite set of generators, with the length of these words at most a constant times the word metric. We show that the non-deterministic…
We construct a polynomial-time algorithm that given a graph $X$ with $4p$ vertices ($p$ is prime), finds (if any) a Cayley representation of $X$ over the group $C_2\times C_2\times C_p$. This result, together with the known similar result…
We construct a polynomial-time algorithm which given a graph $\Gamma$ finds the full set of non-equivalent Cayley representations of $\Gamma$ over the group $D\cong C_p\times C_{p^k}$, where $p\in\{2,3\}$ and $k\geq 1$. This result implies…
We described a simple algorithm running in linear time for each fixed constant $k$, that either establishes that the pathwidth of a graph $G$ is greater than $k$, or finds a path-decomposition of $G$ of width at most $O(2^{k})$. This…
In this paper, we show the existence of a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for all graphs excluding graphs that are locally trianglefree. This particular class of graphs allows to divide the graph into neighbourhood sub-graph…
A $k$-L(2,1)-labeling of a graph is a function from its vertex set into the set $\{0,...,k\}$, such that the labels assigned to adjacent vertices differ by at least 2, and labels assigned to vertices of distance 2 are different. It is known…
We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to compute a (tight) geodesic between two curves in the curve graph. As well as enabling us to compute the distance between a pair of curves, this has several applications to mapping classes. For…
A polynomial time algorithm which detects all paths and cycles of all lengths in form of vertex pairs (start, finish).
We give a polynomial-time algorithm that, with input a graph $G$ and two vertices $u,v$ of $G$, decides whether there is an induced $uv$-path that is longer than the shortest $uv$-path.
In this paper, we present two main results. First, by only one conjecture (Conjecture 2.9) for recognizing a vertex symmetric graph, which is the hardest task for our problem, we construct an algorithm for finding an isomorphism between two…
We show that for integers k > 1 and n > 2, the diameter of the Cayley graph of SL_n(Z/kZ) associated to a standard two-element generating set, is at most a constant times n^2 ln k. This answers a question of A. Lubotzky concerning SL_n(F_p)…
NLC-width is a variant of clique-width with many application in graph algorithmic. This paper is devoted to graphs of NLC-width two. After giving new structural properties of the class, we propose a $O(n^2 m)$-time algorithm, improving…
Given a directed acyclic graph with positive edge-weights, two vertices s and t, and a threshold-weight L, we present a fully-polynomial time approximation-scheme for the problem of counting the s-t paths of length at most L. We extend the…
We develop the methodology of positioning graph vertices relative to each other to solve the problem of determining isomorphism of two undirected graphs. Based on the position of the vertex in one of the graphs, it is determined the…
In this note, we give an algorithm that computes the linearwidth of input $n$-vertex graphs in time $O^*(2^n)$, which improves a trivial $O^*(2^m)$-time algorithm, where $n$ and $m$ the number of vertices and edges, respectively.
It is known for some time that a random graph $G(n,p)$ contains w.h.p. a Hamiltonian cycle if $p$ is larger than the critical value $p_{crit}= (\log n + \log \log n + \omega_n)/n$. The determination of a concrete Hamiltonian cycle is even…
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…
In graph theory, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph. For some small classes of graphs, the problem can be solved in polynomial time [2, 4], but it remains NP-hard on general…
