We propose to study maximum flow problems for connectome graphs. We suggest a few computational problems: finding vertex pairs with maximal flow, finding new edges which would increase the maximal flow. Initial computation results for some…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture states that the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph without a given $k$-vertex tree is at most $\frac {n(k-2)}{2}$. Despite significant interest, the conjecture remains unsolved. Recently, Caro,…

A cubical polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to cubes. The paper is concerned with the linkedness of the graphs of cubical polytopes. A graph with at least $2k$ vertices is \textit{$k$-linked} if,…

We study the replacement paths problem in the $\mathsf{CONGEST}$ model of distributed computing. Given an $s$-$t$ shortest path $P$, the goal is to compute, for every edge $e$ in $P$, the shortest-path distance from $s$ to $t$ avoiding $e$.…

The Longest Path Problem is a question of finding the maximum length between pairs of vertices of a graph. In the general case, the problem is NP-complete. However, there is a small collection of graph classes for which there exists an…

The minimum and maximum cuts of an undirected edge-weighted graph are classic problems in graph theory. While the Min-Cut Problem can be solved in P, the Max-Cut Problem is NP-Complete. Exact and heuristic methods have been developed for…

We consider the problem of estimating the size of a maximum cut (Max-Cut problem) in a random Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph on $n$ nodes and $\lfloor cn \rfloor$ edges. It is shown in Coppersmith et al. ~\cite{Coppersmith2004} that the size of…

For Boolean satisfiability problems, the structure of the solution space is characterized by the solution graph, where the vertices are the solutions, and two solutions are connected iff they differ in exactly one variable. For this…

A vertex in a graph is called central if it minimizes its maximum distance to the other vertices. The radius of a graph $G$ is the largest distance between a central vertex and the other vertices, and it is denoted by $rad(G)$. In the…

Edge connectivity and vertex connectivity are two fundamental concepts in graph theory. Although by now there is a good understanding of the structure of graphs based on their edge connectivity, our knowledge in the case of vertex…

We study two "above guarantee" versions of the classical Longest Path problem on undirected and directed graphs and obtain the following results. In the first variant of Longest Path that we study, called Longest Detour, the task is to…

We consider extension variants of the classical graph problems Vertex Cover and Independent Set. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a vertex set $U \subseteq V$, it is asked if there exists a minimal vertex cover (resp.\ maximal independent set)…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph without isolated vertices. A matching in $G$ is a set of independent edges in $G$. A perfect matching $M$ in $G$ is a matching such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to an edge of $M$. A set $S\subseteq V$ is a…

We study the structure of the set of all possible affine hyperplane sections of a convex polytope. We present two different cell decompositions of this set, induced by hyperplane arrangements. Using our decomposition, we bound the number of…

The edge expansion of a graph is the minimum quotient of the number of edges in a cut and the size of the smaller one among the two node sets separated by the cut. Bounding the edge expansion from below is important for bounding the…

A hole in a graph is an induced cycle of length at least 4. A hole is long if its length is at least 5. By $P_t$ we denote a path on $t$ vertices. In this paper we give polynomial-time algorithms for the following problems: the Maximum…

In the presented paper we study the Length-Bounded Cut problem for special graph classes as well as from a parameterized-complexity viewpoint. Here, we are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$, and positive integers $\beta$ and…

The independent set on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of $V$ such that no two vertices in the subset have an edge between them. The MIS problem on $G$ seeks to identify an independent set with maximum cardinality, i.e. maximum independent…

We propose a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for the \textsc{Max-Cut} problem on embedded 1-planar graphs parameterized by the crossing number $k$ of the given embedding. A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with…

We study the problem of deterministic approximate counting of matchings and independent sets in graphs of bounded connective constant. More generally, we consider the problem of evaluating the partition functions of the monomer-dimer model…
