Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous results cover only a few specific instances of this general…
For a given number of colors, $s$, the guessing number of a graph is the (base $s$) logarithm of the cardinality of the largest family of colorings of the vertex set of the graph such that the color of each vertex can be determined from the…
We present a new approach to compute selected eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the two-parameter eigenvalue problem. Our method requires computing generalized eigenvalue problems of the same size as the matrices of the initial two-parameter…
When approximating a space curve, it is natural to consider whether the knot type of the original curve is preserved in the approximant. This preservation is of strong contemporary interest in computer graphics and visualization. We…
We develop a certified numerical algorithm for computing Galois/monodromy groups of parametrized polynomial systems. Our approach employs certified homotopy path tracking to guarantee the correctness of the monodromy action produced by the…
In the past decades for more and more graph classes the Graph Isomorphism Problem was shown to be solvable in polynomial time. An interesting family of graph classes arises from intersection graphs of geometric objects. In this work we show…
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show the surprising fact that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. A graph is 1-planar if it has a drawing where every…
Let $G$ be a simple graph with the Laplacian matrix $L(G)$ and let $e(G)$ be the number of edges of $G$. A conjecture by Brouwer and a conjecture by Grone and Merris state that the sum of the $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ is at…
In this paper we consider Erd\"os-Mordell inequality and its extension in the plane of triangle to the Erd\"os-Mordell curve. Algebraic equation of this curve is derived, and using modern computer tools in mathematics, we verified one…
We prove that there is an algorithm to determine if a given finite graph is an induced subgraph of a given curve graph.
A coloring of the vertices of a connected graph is convex if each color class induces a connected subgraph. We address the convex recoloring (CR) problem defined as follows. Given a graph $G$ and a coloring of its vertices, recolor a…
We propose an algebraic study of the simple graph isomorphism problem. We define a Hopf algebra from an explicit realization of its elements as formal power series. We show that these series can be evaluated on graphs and count occurrences…
Let $G$ be a simple graph. A pendant path of $G$ is a path such that one of its end vertices has degree $1$, the other end has degree $\ge3$, and all the internal vertices have degree $2$. Let $p_k(G)$ be the number of pendant paths of…
In this paper we begin to study curves on a weighted projective plane with one trivial weight, ${\mathbb P}(1,m,n)$, by determining the genus of curves of Fermat type. These are curves defined by a ``homogeneous'' polynomial analagous to…
Recently, three numerical methods for the computation of eigenvalues of singular matrix pencils, based on a rank-completing perturbation, a rank-projection, or an augmentation were developed. We show that all three approaches can be…
We confirm the equitable $\Delta$-coloring conjecture for interval graphs and establish the monotonicity of equitable colorability for them. We further obtain results on equitable colorability about square (or Cartesian) and cross (or…
We develop a new method for enumerating independent sets of a fixed size in general graphs, and we use this method to show that a conjecture of Engbers and Galvin holds for all but finitely many graphs. We also use our method to prove…
Quantum graphs have attracted attention from mathematicians for some time. A quantum graph is defined by having a Laplacian on each edge of a metric graph and imposing boundary conditions at the vertices to get an eigenvalue problem. A…
We study the k-core of a random (multi)graph on n vertices with a given degree sequence. We let n tend to infinity. Then, under some regularity conditions on the degree sequences, we give conditions on the asymptotic shape of the degree…
In this article, we study the existence of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on curves through explicit construction. Specifically, we have constructed a large family of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on $\mathbb{P}^1,$…
