This paper develops a structural theory of unique shortest paths in real-weighted graphs. Our main goal is to characterize exactly which sets of node sequences, which we call path systems, can be realized as unique shortest paths in a graph…

(see paper for full abstract) We show that the Edge-Disjoint Paths problem is W[1]-hard parameterized by the number $k$ of terminal pairs, even when the input graph is a planar directed acyclic graph (DAG). This answers a question of…

A bound on consecutive clique numbers of graphs is established. This bound is evaluated and shown to often be much better than the bound of the Kruskal-Katona theorem. A bound on non-consecutive clique numbers is also proven.

In the study of temporal graphs, only paths respecting the flow of time are relevant. In this context, many concepts of walks disjointness were proposed over the years, and the validity of Menger's Theorem, as well as the complexity of…

Given an arbitrary countable directed graph $G$ we prove the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra $T_+(G)$ coincides with the universal Cuntz-Krieger algebra associated with $G$. Our approach is concrete in nature and does not rely on Hilbert…

In this note we give a short proof that graphs having no linearly small F{\o}lner sets can be partitioned into a union of expanders. We use this fact to prove a partition result for graphs admitting linearly small maximal F{\o}lner sets and…

introduce {\sc Planar Disjoint Paths Completion}, a completion counterpart of the Disjoint Paths problem, and study its parameterized complexity. The problem can be stated as follows: given a, not necessarily connected, plane graph $G,$ $k$…

We show that planar graphs have bounded queue-number, thus proving a conjecture of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg from 1992. The key to the proof is a new structural tool called layered partitions, and the result that every planar graph has…

In this paper we show that Leavitt path algebras of weighted graphs and Leavitt path algebras of separated graphs are intimately related. We prove that any Leavitt path algebra $L(E,\omega)$ of a row-finite vertex weighted graph…

Bidirected graphs are multigraphs where every edge has an independent direction at each end. In the paper, with an arbitrary bidirected graph we associate a non-negative integral quadratic form (called the incidence form of the graph), and…

In this paper we construct a class of bounded degree bipartite graphs with a small separator and large bandwidth. Furthermore, we also prove that graphs from this class are spanning subgraphs of graphs with minimum degree just slightly…

We say that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{clique-sparse} if there is a constant $k=k(\mathcal{G})$ such that for every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$, every vertex of $G$ belongs to at most $k$ maximal cliques, and any maximal…

We state the graph-theoretic computational problem of finding tight paths in a directed, edge-weighted graph, as well as its simplification of finding tight pairs. These problems are motivated by the need of algorithms that find so-called…

For graph classification tasks, many traditional kernel methods focus on measuring the similarity between graphs. These methods have achieved great success on resolving graph isomorphism problems. However, in some classification problems,…

We prove almost sure convergence of the maximum degree in an evolving graph model combining a growing number of local choices with sublinear preferential attachment. At each step in the growth of the graph, a new vertex is introduced. Then…

Consider a setting where possibly sensitive information sent over a path in a network is visible to every {neighbor} of the path, i.e., every neighbor of some node on the path, thus including the nodes on the path itself. The exposure of a…

In the Disjoint Paths problem, one is given a graph with a set of $k$ vertex pairs $(s_i,t_i)$ and the task is to connect each $s_i$ to $t_i$ with a path, so that the $k$ paths are pairwise disjoint. In the optimization variant, Max…

A graph $H$ is an induced subgraph of a graph $G$ if a graph isomorphic to $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by deleting vertices. Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the unavoidable induced subgraphs for graphs of…

We present results on partitioning the vertices of $2$-edge-colored graphs into monochromatic paths and cycles. We prove asymptotically the two-color case of a conjecture of S\'ark\"ozy: the vertex set of every $2$-edge-colored graph can be…

A vertex in a directed graph is said to have a large second neighborhood if it has at least as many second out-neighbors as out-neighbors. The Second Neighborhood Conjecture, first stated by Seymour, asserts that there is a vertex having a…
