We consider intrinsic linking and knotting in the context of directed graphs. We construct an example of a directed graph that contains a consistently oriented knotted cycle in every embedding. We also construct examples of intrinsically…

We address fully-defective asynchronous networks, in which all links are subject to an unlimited number of alteration errors, implying that all messages in the network may be completely corrupted. Despite the possible intuition that such a…

The Reconstruction Conjecture due to Kelly and Ulam states that every graph with at least 3 vertices is uniquely determined by its multiset of subgraphs $\{G-v: v\in V(G)\}$. Let $diam(G)$ and $\kappa(G)$ denote the diameter and the…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, we solve the problems of constructing a geometric planar graph spanning $P$ 1) of minimum degree 2, and 2) which is 2-edge connected, respectively, and has max edge length bounded by a factor of 2…

The decomposition of a linkage into minimal components is a central tool of analysis and synthesis of linkages. In this paper we prove that every pinned d-isostatic (minimally rigid) graph (grounded linkage) has a unique decomposition into…

Due to the increasing discovery and implementation of networks within all disciplines of life, the study of subgraph connectivity has become increasingly important. Motivated by the idea of community (or sub-graph) detection within a…

In a digraph $D=(V,A)$, an oriented path is a sequence $P=x_1x_2\dots x_p$ of distinct vertices such that either $x_ix_{i+1}\in A$ or $x_{i+1}x_{i}\in A$ or both for every $i\in [p-1]$. If $x_ix_{i+1}\in A$ in $P$, then $x_ix_{i+1}$ is a…

In the Upper Degree-Constrained Partial Orientation problem we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, together with two degree constraint functions $d^-,d^+ : V \to \mathbb{N}$. The goal is to orient as many edges as possible, in such a…

We investigate parameterized algorithms for the NP-hard problem Min-Power Asymmetric Connectivity (MinPAC) that has applications in wireless sensor networks. Given a directed arc-weighted graph, MinPAC asks for a strongly connected spanning…

Let $t>0$ be a real number and $G$ be a graph. We say $G$ is $t$-tough if for every cutset $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$. Determining toughness is an NP-hard problem for arbitrary…

A set $D \subseteq V$ of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is called an outer-connected dominating set of $G$ if every vertex $v$ not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$, and the induced subgraph of $G$ on $V \setminus D$ is connected. The…

We study edge-decompositions of highly connected graphs into copies of a given tree. In particular we attack the following conjecture by Bar\'at and Thomassen: for each tree $T$, there exists a natural number $k_T$ such that if $G$ is a…

We give a recursion formula to generate all equivalence classes of biconnected graphs with coefficients given by the inverses of the orders of their groups of automorphisms. We give a linear map to produce a connected graph with say, u,…

In this paper, we study the stability result of a well-known theorem of Bondy. We prove that for any 2-connected non-hamiltonian graph, if every vertex except for at most one vertex has degree at least $k$, then it contains a cycle of…

A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is {\em connected} if $G$ has an edge linking each pair of edges in $M$. The problem to find large connected matchings in graphs $G$ with $\alpha(G)=2$ is closely related to Hadwiger's conjecture for graphs…

The competition graph of a digraph $D$ is a (simple undirected) graph which has the same vertex set as $D$ and has an edge between two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ if and only if there exists a vertex $v$ in $D$ such that $(x,v)$ and…

Given an undirected graph, one can assign directions to each of the edges of the graph, thus orienting the graph. To be as egalitarian as possible, one may wish to find an orientation such that no vertex is unfairly hit with too many arcs…

A directed graph G (V, E) is strongly connected if and only if, for a pair of vertices X and Y from V, there exists a path from X to Y and a path from Y to X. In Computer Science, the partition of a graph in strongly connected components is…

Given a directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G = (V,E)$, we say that $G$ is $(e,d)$-depth-robust (resp. $(e,d)$-edge-depth-robust) if for any set $S \subset V$ (resp. $S \subseteq E$) of at most $|S| \leq e$ nodes (resp. edges) the graph $G-S$…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial edge-colored connected graph. An edge-cut $R$ of $G$ is called a rainbow cut if no two edges of it are colored the same. An edge-colored graph $G$ is rainbow disconnected if for every two vertices $u$ and $v$, there…
