Temporal graphs are a popular modelling mechanism for dynamic complex systems that extend ordinary graphs with discrete time. Simply put, time progresses one unit per step and the availability of edges can change with time. We consider the…

The numbers game is a one-player game played on a finite simple graph with certain ``amplitudes'' assigned to its edges and with an initial assignment of real numbers to its nodes. The moves of the game successively transform the numbers at…

Without further ado, we present the P_3-game. The P_3-game is decidable for elementary classes of graphs such as paths and cycles. From an algorithmic point of view, the connected P_3-game is fascinating. We show that the connected P_3-game…

We study chip-firing games on multigraphs whose underlying simple graphs are trees, paths, and stars, denoted as banana trees, paths, and stars respectively. We present a polynomial time algorithm to compute the divisorial gonality of…

The theory of $p$-modulus provides a general framework for quantifying the richness of a family of objects on a graph. When applied to the family of spanning trees, $p$-modulus has an interesting probabilistic interpretation. In particular,…
