We consider the class ${\cal A}$ of graphs that contain no odd hole, no antihole, and no "prism" (a graph consisting of two disjoint triangles with three disjoint paths between them). We prove that every graph $G\in{\cal A}$ different from…
We consider three variants of the problem of finding a maximum weight restricted $2$-matching in a subcubic graph $G$. (A $2$-matching is any subset of the edges such that each vertex is incident to at most two of its edges.) Depending on…
Let $G$ be a finite graph allowing loops, having no multiple edge and no isolated vertex. We associate $G$ with the edge polytope ${\cal P}_G$ and the toric ideal $I_G$. By classifying graphs whose edge polytope is simple, it is proved that…
A pure pair in a graph $G$ is a pair $(Z_1,Z_2)$ of disjoint sets of vertices such that either every vertex in $Z_1$ is adjacent to every vertex in $Z_2$, or there are no edges between $Z_1$ and $Z_2$. With Maria Chudnovsky, we recently…
In 1985, Golumbic and Scheinerman established an equivalence between comparability graphs and containment graphs, graphs whose vertices represent sets, with edges indicating set containment. A few years earlier, McMorris and Zaslavsky…
In this paper, we investigate three fundamental problems regarding cut complexes of graphs: their realizability, the uniqueness of graph reconstruction from them, and their algorithmic recognition. We define the parameter $m(d,n)$ as the…
We study a family of positive weighted well-covered graphs, which we call levelable graphs, that are related to a construction of level artinian rings in commutative algebra. A graph $G$ is levelable if there exists a weight function with…
A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, these graphs are studied by presenting some examples and defining some of their sub-structures such as removable…
A drawing of a graph in the plane is called 1-planar if each edge is crossed at most once. A graph together with a 1-planar drawing is a 1-plane graph. A 1-plane graph $G$ with exactly $4|V (G)|-8$ edges is called optimal. The crossing…
For a $2$-connected graph $G$ and vertices $u,v$ of $G$ we define an abstract graph $\mathcal{P}(G_{uv})$ whose vertices are the paths joining $u$ and $v$ in $G$, where paths $S$ and $T$ are adjacent if $T$ is obtained from $S$ by replacing…
Let $G$ be a matching-covered graph, i.e., every edge is contained in a perfect matching. An edge subset $X$ of $G$ is feasible if there exists two perfect matchings $M_1$ and $M_2$ such that $|M_1\cap X|\not\equiv |M_2\cap X| \pmod 2$.…
A simple topological graph is $k$-quasiplanar ($k\geq 2$) if it contains no $k$ pairwise crossing edges, and $k$-planar if no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. In this paper, we explore the relationship between $k$-planarity and…
In this work, we study the computability of topological graphs, which are obtained by gluing arcs and rays together at their endpoints. We prove that every semicomputable graph in a computable metric space can be approximated, with…
A matching covered graph $G$ is minimal if for each edge $e$ of $G$, $G-e$ is not matching covered. An edge $e$ of a matching covered graph $G$ is removable if $G-e$ is also matching covered. Thus a matching covered graph is minimal if and…
Let $X$ be a graph on $v$ vertices with adjacency matrix $A$, and let let $S$ be a subset of its vertices with characteristic vector $z$. We say that the pair $(X,S)$ is controllable if the vectors $A^rz$ for $r=1,\ldots,v-1$ span…
Given a graph G, of arbitrary size and unbounded vertex degree, denote by |G| the one-complex associated with $G$. The topological space |G| is n-arc connected (n-ac) if every set of no more than n points of |G| are contained in an arc (a…
Chord diagrams, under the name of Gauss diagrams, are used in low-dimensional topology as an important tool for studying curves or knots. Those Gauss diagrams that correspond to curves or knots are called realizable. The theme of our paper…
The simplex graph $S(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the cliques of $G$ (including the empty set), with two vertices being adjacent if, as cliques of $G$, they differ in exactly one vertex. Simplex graphs form…
We consider a relaxation of the concept of well-covered graphs, which are graphs with all maximal independent sets of the same size. The extent to which a graph fails to be well-covered can be measured by its independence gap, defined as…
Perfect graphs form one of the distinguished classes of finite simple graphs. In 2006, Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas proved that a graph is perfect if and only if it has no odd holes and no odd antiholes as induced subgraphs,…
