We give a unified direct proof of the lifting of PIE limits to the 2-category of algebras and (pseudo) morphisms, which specifies precisely which of the projections of the lifted limit are strict and detect strictness. In the literature,…

Fundamental to many applications in data analysis are the decompositions of a graph, i.e. partitions of the node set into component-inducing subsets. One way of encoding decompositions is by multicuts, the subsets of those edges that…

The theory of graphons has proven to be a powerful tool in many areas of graph theory. In this paper, we introduce several foundational aspects of the theory of digraphons -- asymmetric two-variable functions that arise as limits of…

We define $k$-dimensional digraphs and initiate a study of their spectral theory. The $k$-dimensional digraphs can be viewed as generating graphs for small categories called $k$-graphs. Guided by geometric insight, we obtain several new…

A natural way to represent on the plane both a planar graph and its dual is to follow the definition of the dual, thus, to place vertices inside their corresponding primal faces, and to draw the dual edges so that they only cross their…

In this paper, we revisit the split decomposition of graphs and give new combinatorial and algorithmic results for the class of totally decomposable graphs, also known as the distance hereditary graphs, and for two non-trivial subclasses,…

Local complement is a graph operation formalized by Bouchet which replaces the neighborhood of a chosen vertex with its edge-complement. This operation induces an equivalence relation on graphs; determining the size of the resulting…

We study isospectrality for mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, and extend the previously derived graph-theoretic formulation of the transplantation method. Led by the theory of Brownian motion, we introduce vertex-colored and…

Graph-level contrastive learning, aiming to learn the representations for each graph by contrasting two augmented graphs, has attracted considerable attention. Previous studies usually simply assume that a graph and its augmented graph as a…

We construct via usual graph theory a class of associative dialgebras as well as a class of coassociative L-coalgebras. Tiling of the (n^2,1)-De bruijn graphs are also obtained and constructions of cubical trialgebras, (notion defined by…

Many systems comprising entities in interactions can be represented as graphs, whose structure gives significant insights about how these systems work. Network theory has undergone further developments, in particular in relation to…

We study hypergraph visualization via its topological simplification. We explore both vertex simplification and hyperedge simplification of hypergraphs using tools from topological data analysis. In particular, we transform a hypergraph to…

We study the set of all decompositions (clusterings) of a graph through its characterization as a set of lifted multicuts. This leads us to practically relevant insights related to the definition of a class of decompositions by must-join…

We investigate the problem of drawing graphs in 2D and 3D such that their edges (or only their vertices) can be covered by few lines or planes. We insist on straight-line edges and crossing-free drawings. This problem has many connections…

The twin-width of a graph measures its distance to co-graphs and generalizes classical width concepts such as tree-width or rank-width. Since its introduction in 2020 (Bonnet et. al. 2020), a mass of new results has appeared relating twin…

We define a special case of tree decompositions for planar graphs that respect a given embedding of the graph. We study the analogous width of the resulting decomposition we call the embedded-width of a plane graph. We show both upper…

The derived graph of a voltage graph consisting of a single vertex and two loops of different voltages is a circulant graph with two generators. We characterize the automorphism groups of connected, two-generator circulant graphs, and give…

A rooted digraph is a vertex-flame if for every vertex $v$ there is a set of internally disjoint directed paths from the root to $v$ whose set of terminal edges covers all ingoing edges of $v$. It was shown by Lov\'{a}sz that every finite…

By generalizing a recent result of Hong, Liu, and Lai on characterizing the degree-sequences of simple strongly connected directed graphs, a characterization is provided for degree-sequences of simple $k$-node-connected digraphs. More…

Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…
