We show that for every graph without isolated edge, the edges can be assigned weights from {1,2,3} so that no two neighbors receive the same sum of incident edge weights. This solves a conjecture of Karo\'{n}ski, Luczak, and Thomason from…
A graph is said to be a Konig graph if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the size of its minimum vertex cover. The Konig Edge Deletion problem asks if in a given graph there exists a set of at most k edges whose deletion results…
We study a problem of reconstruction of connected graphs where the input gives all subsets of size k that induce a connected subgraph. Originally introduced by Bastide et al. (WG 2023) for triples ($k=3$), this problem received…
Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph, and for each $e \in E(G)$, let $L_e$ be a list of real numbers. Let $w:E(G) \to \cup_{e \in E(G)}L_e$ be an edge weighting function such that $w(e) \in L_e$ for each $e \in E(G)$, and let $c_w$ be the vertex…
We introduce a new model of indeterminacy in graphs: instead of specifying all the edges of the graph, the input contains all triples of vertices that form a connected subgraph. In general, different (labelled) graphs may have the same set…
Suppose you are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with a weight assignment $w:V\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ and that your objective is to modify $w$ using legal steps such that all vertices will have the same weight, where in each legal step you are…
Given a graph $G$, a 2-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ is said to contain a balanced copy of $G$ if we can find a copy of $G$ such that half of its edges are in each color class. If, for every sufficiently large $n$, there exists an integer…
Averbouch, Godlin and Makowsky define the edge elimination polynomial of a graph by a recurrence relation with respect to the deletion, contraction and extraction of an edge. It generalizes some well-known graph polynomials such as the…
We introduce a new variant of the $k$-deck problem, which in its traditional formulation asks for determining the smallest $k$ that allows one to reconstruct any binary sequence of length $n$ from the multiset of its $k$-length…
Deciding whether a graph can be edge-decomposed into a matching and a $k$-bounded linear forest was recently shown by Campbell, H{\"o}rsch and Moore to be NP-complete for every $k \ge 9$, and solvable in polynomial time for $k=1,2$. In the…
In the Graph Reconstruction (GR) problem, the goal is to recover a hidden graph by utilizing some oracle that provides limited access to the structure of the graph. The interest is in characterizing how strong different oracles are when the…
In this paper we consider the problem to reconstruct a $k$-uniform hypergraph from its line graph. In general this problem is hard. We solve this problem when the number of hyperedges containing any pair of vertices is bounded. Given an…
This paper presents an exhaustive approach for verification of the weak reconstruction of Self Complementary Graphs up to 17 vertices. It describes the general problem of the Reconstruction Conjecture, explaining the complexity involved in…
The $(n-\ell)$-deck of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of (unlabeled) subgraphs obtained from it by deleting $\ell$ vertices. An $n$-vertex graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its $(n-\ell)$-deck, meaning that no…
A graph $G$ is $k$-critical if $G$ is not $(k-1)$-colorable, but every proper subgraph of $G$ is $(k-1)$-colorable. A graph $G$ is $k$-choosable if $G$ has an $L$-coloring from every list assignment $L$ with $|L(v)|=k$ for all $v$, and a…
Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree~$\Delta$. Brooks' Theorem states that $G$ has a $\Delta$-colouring unless~$G$ is a complete graph, or a cycle with an odd number of vertices. To recolour $G$ is to…
A $k$-edge-coloured graph is colour-balanced if each colour appears equally often. Resolving a conjecture of Pardey and Rautenbach, we show that any colour-balanced $k$-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{2kt}$ contains a perfect matching that…
Let $G$ be a group of permutations acting on an $n$-vertex set $V$, and $X$ and $Y$ be two simple graphs on $V$. We say that $X$ and $Y$ are $G$-isomorphic if $Y$ belongs to the orbit of $X$ under the action of $G$. One can naturally…
Most of the literature on spanners focuses on building the graph from scratch. This paper instead focuses on adding edges to improve an existing graph. A major open problem in this field is: given a graph embedded in a metric space, and a…
A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that $3$-regular graphs are $2$-reconstructible.
