The \emph{zero forcing number} $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of black vertices (whereas vertices in $V(G)\setminusS$ are colored white) such that $V(G)$ is turned black after finitely many applications of…

We study the $k$-core of a random (multi)graph on $n$ vertices with a given degree sequence. In our previous paper [Random Structures Algorithms 30 (2007) 50--62] we used properties of empirical distributions of independent random variables…

A minority process in a weighted graph is a dynamically changing coloring. Each node repeatedly changes its color in order to minimize the sum of weighted conflicts with its neighbors. We study the number of steps until such a process…

Let $0<k\in\mathbb{Z}$. Let the star 2-set transposition graph $ST^2_k$ be the $(2k-1)$-regular graph whose vertices are the $2k$-strings on $k$ symbols, each symbol repeated twice, with its edges given each by the transposition of the…

Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…

In vertex recoloring, we are given $n$ vertices with their initial coloring, and edges arrive in an online fashion. The algorithm must maintain a valid coloring by recoloring vertices, at a cost. The problem abstracts a scenario of job…

In a graph $G = (V,E)$, a k-ruling set $S$ is one in which all vertices $V$ \ $S$ are at most $k$ distance from $S$. Finding a minimum k-ruling set is intrinsically linked to the minimum dominating set problem and maximal independent set…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbours. A set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a $k$-tuple dominating set of $G$ if $D$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least $k$ times. The minimum cardinality among all $k$-tuple…

A k-role coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors to the vertices of G such that if any two vertices are assigned the same color, then their neighborhood are assigned the same set of colors. By definition, every graph on n…

Given a vertex-coloured graph, a dominating set is said to be tropical if every colour of the graph appears at least once in the set. Here, we study minimum tropical dominating sets from structural and algorithmic points of view. First, we…

In this paper we resolve the complexity of the isomorphism problem on all but finitely many of the graph classes characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs. To this end we develop new techniques applicable for the structural and…

Traditionally, reconfiguration problems ask the question whether a given solution of an optimization problem can be transformed to a target solution in a sequence of small steps that preserve feasibility of the intermediate solutions. In…

We give sufficient conditions under which a random graph with a specified degree sequence is symmetric or asymmetric. In the case of bounded degree sequences, our characterisation captures the phase transition of the symmetry of the random…

Let $G=G(n,m)$ be a random graph whose average degree $d=2m/n$ is below the $k$-colorability threshold. If we sample a $k$-coloring $\sigma$ of $G$ uniformly at random, what can we say about the correlations between the colors assigned to…

For a simple graph G = (V, E) and a positive integer k greater than or equal to 2, a coloring of vertices of G using exactly k colors such that every vertex has an equal number of vertices of each color in its closed neighborhood is called…

The $k$-power domination problem is a problem in graph theory, which has applications in many areas. However, it is hard to calculate the exact $k$-power domination number since determining k-power domination number of a generic graph is a…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected, finite undirected graph. A set $S \subseteq V$ is said to be a total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to some vertex in $S$. The total domination number, $\gamma_{t}(G)$, is the minimum…

The classical NP-complete problem Vertex Cover requires us to determine whether a graph contains at most $k$ vertices that cover all edges. In spite of its intractability, the problem can be solved in FPT time for parameter $k$ by various…

The vertex-cover problem is studied for random graphs $G_{N,cN}$ having $N$ vertices and $cN$ edges. Exact numerical results are obtained by a branch-and-bound algorithm. It is found that a transition in the coverability at a $c$-dependent…

We study the Max Partial $k$-Coloring problem, where we are given a vertex-weighted graph, and we ask for a maximum-weight induced subgraph that admits a proper $k$-coloring. For $k=1$ this problem coincides with Maximum Weight Independent…
