We study the problem of connecting the parts of a multipartite graph using a minimum number of edges under a matching constraint. We introduce interconnection trees, defined as matchings whose projections onto the quotient graph form a…
The overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree (SOGs) generalise many other graphs classes with set representation characterisations. The complexity of recognising SOGs in open. The complexities of recognising many subclasses of SOGs are known.…
The last in-tree recognition problem asks whether a given spanning tree can be derived by connecting each vertex with its rightmost left neighbor of some search ordering. In this study, we demonstrate that the last-in-tree recognition…
A procedure called \textit{graph burning} was introduced to facilitate the modelling of spread of an alarm, a social contagion, or a social influence or emotion on graphs and networks. Graph burning runs on discrete time-steps (or rounds).…
A polynomial time algorithm which detects all paths and cycles of all lengths in form of vertex pairs (start, finish).
Graph-structured data arise naturally in many different application domains. By representing data as graphs, we can capture entities (i.e., nodes) as well as their relationships (i.e., edges) with each other. Many useful insights can be…
Building on work by Desjarlais, Molina, Faase, and others, a general method is obtained for counting the number of spanning trees of graphs that are a product of an arbitrary graph and either a path or a cycle, of which grid graphs are a…
The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…
We give exact formulas for the transmission (i.e. the sum of all distances between vertices) of perfect trees and rooted powers of (connected finite) graphs.
Myasnikov et al. have introduced the knapsack problem for arbitrary finitely generated groups. In previous work, the authors proved that for each graph group, the knapsack problem can be solved in $\mathsf{NP}$. Here, we determine the exact…
The NP-complete problem Matching Cut is to decide if a graph has a matching that is also an edge cut of the graph. We prove new complexity results for Matching Cut restricted to $H$-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain some…
We discuss a recursive formula for number of spanning trees in a graph. The paper is written primary for school students.
Geometric embedding of graphs in a point set in the plane is a well known problem. In this paper, the complexity of a variant of this problem, where the point set is bounded by a simple polygon, is considered. Given a point set in the plane…
A function on an algebra is congruence preserving if, for any congruence, it maps pairs of congruent elements onto pairs of congruent elements. We show that on the algebra of complete binary trees whose leaves are labeled by letters of an…
Perfect Matching-Cut is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge-cut. We show that this problem is NP-complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for…
A "tree-partition" of a graph $G$ is a partition of $V(G)$ such that identifying the vertices in each part gives a tree. It is known that every graph with treewidth $k$ and maximum degree $\Delta$ has a tree-partition with parts of size…
We prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given string can be factored into palindromes that are each unique in the factorization.
Given a graph G=(V, E), a vertex is said to ve-dominate an edge if it is either incident with the edge or adjacent to one of its endpoints. A set of vertices is a ve-dominating set if it ve-dominates every edge of the graph. We introduce…
The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is the total number of distinct spanning subgraphs of $G$ that are trees. In this paper we characterize the unique graph with a prescribed vertex (resp. edge) connectivity, minimum degree and…
Finding dense substructures in a graph is a fundamental graph mining operation, with applications in bioinformatics, social networks, and visualization to name a few. Yet most standard formulations of this problem (like clique, quasiclique,…
