The $k$-tuple domination problem, for a fixed positive integer $k$, is to find a minimum sized vertex subset such that every vertex in the graph is dominated by at least $k$ vertices in this set. The $k$-tuple domination is NP-hard even for…

We consider a non-monotone activation process $(X_t)_{t\in\{ 0,1,2,\ldots\}}$ on a graph $G$, where $X_0\subseteq V(G)$, $X_t=\{ u\in V(G):|N_G(u)\cap X_{t-1}|\geq \tau(u)\}$ for every positive integer $t$, and $\tau:V(G)\to \mathbb{Z}$ is…

We consider the 2-limited packing problem: for a graph $G=(V,E)$ one seeks to find a maximum cardinality subset $B\subseteq V$, such that, for all $v\in V$, the closed neighbourhood of $v$ contains at most two vertices in $B$. We compare…

The number of spanning trees of a graph $G$, denoted $\tau(G)$, is a well studied graph parameter with numerous connections to other areas of mathematics. In a recent remarkable paper, answering a question of Sedl\'a\v{c}ek from 1969, Chan,…

A $k-$quasiperfect dominating set ($k\ge 1$) of a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $S$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one and at most k vertices in $S$. The cardinality of a minimum k-quasiperfect dominating set in…

Random walks on graphs are an essential primitive for many randomised algorithms and stochastic processes. It is natural to ask how much can be gained by running $k$ multiple random walks independently and in parallel. Although the cover…

The majorization relation orders the degree sequences of simple graphs into posets called dominance orders. As shown by Ruch and Gutman (1979) and Merris (2002), the degree sequences of threshold and split graphs form upward-closed sets…

Let G = (V, E) be a directed and weighted graph with vertex set V of size n and edge set E of size m, such that each edge (u, v) \in E has a real-valued weight w(u, c). An arborescence in G is a subgraph T = (V, E') such that for a vertex u…

We study dynamic graph algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation model, which was inspired by practical data processing systems. Our goal is to provide algorithms that can efficiently handle large batches of edge insertions and…

A dominating set $S$ in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A minimal dominating set $M$ is a dominating set such that $M-v$ is not a dominating set for all $v \in M$. In…

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…

The famous lower bound $\alpha(G)\geq \sum_{u\in V(G)}\frac{1}{d_G(u)+1}$ on the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$ due to Caro and Wei is known to be tight if and only if the components of $G$ are cliques, and has been…

In this paper, we study the problem of fast dynamic pointer following: given a directed graph $G$ where each vertex has outdegree $1$, efficiently support the operations of i) changing the outgoing edge of any vertex, and ii) find the…

This paper deals with the construction of a correlation decay tree (hypertree) for interacting systems modeled using graphs (hypergraphs) that can be used to compute the marginal probability of any vertex of interest. Local message passing…

The domatic number of a graph $G$, denoted $dom(G)$, is the maximum possible cardinality of a family of disjoint sets of vertices of $G$, each set being a dominating set of $G$. It is well known that every graph without isolated vertices…

In this paper, we study "robust" dominating sets of random graphs that retain the domination property even if a small \emph{deterministic} set of edges are removed. We motivate our study by illustrating with examples from wireless networks…

We consider the eternal distance-2 domination problem, recently proposed by Cox, Meger, and Messinger, on trees. We show that finding a minimum eternal distance-2 dominating set of a tree is linear time in the order of the graph by…

A weak dominance drawing $\Gamma$ of a DAG $G=(V,E)$, is a $d$-dimensional drawing such that there is a directed path from a vertex $u$ to a vertex $v$ in $G$ if $D(u) <D(v)$ for every dimension $D$ of $\Gamma$. We have a \emph{falsely…

We consider the problem of damping a control system with delay described by first-order functional-differential equations on a temporal tree. The delay in the system is time-proportional and propagates through the internal vertices. The…

We study the dominating set problem in an online setting. An algorithm is required to guarantee competitiveness against an adversary that reveals the input graph one node at a time. When a node is revealed, the algorithm learns about the…
