In conventional group testing, the goal is to detect a small subset of defecting items D in a large population N by grouping \textit{arbitrary} subset of N into different pools. The result of each group test $\mathcal{T} ...
We define the crossing number for an embedding of a graph G into R^3, and prove a lower bound on it which almost implies the classical crossing lemma. We also give sharp bounds on the space crossing numbers of pseudo-random graphs. ...
We consider right angle crossing (RAC) drawings of graphs in which the edges are represented by polygonal arcs and any two edges can cross only at a right angle. We show that if a graph with n vertices admits a RAC drawing with at most 1 bend or 2 bends pe ...
We present a new approach to matching graphs embedded in R2 or R3. Unlike earlier methods, our approach does not rely on the similarity of local appearance features, does not require an initial alignment, can handle partial matches, and can cope with non-l ...
Clustering on graphs has been studied extensively for years due to its numerous applications. However, in contrast to the classic problems, clustering in mobile and online social networks brings new challenges. In these scenarios, it is common that observa ...
We analyse the relations between several graph transformations that were introduced to be used in procedures determining the stability number of a graph. We show that all these transformations can be decomposed into a sequence of edge deletions and twin de ...
A magnet is a pair u, v of adjacent vertices such that the proper neighbours of u are completely linked to the proper neighbours of v. It has been shown that one can reduce the graph by removing the two vertices u, v of a magnet and introducing a new verte ...
We consider the complexity of approximation for the INDEPENDENT DOMINATING SET problem in 2P(3)-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain two disjoint copies of the chordless path on three vertices as all induced subgraph. We show that, if P not equal ...
We introduce a family of reductions for removing proper and homogeneous pairs of cliques from a graph G. This family generalizes some routines presented in the literature, mostly in the context of claw-free graphs. These reductions can be embedded in a sim ...
The inverse degree of a graph is the sum of the reciprocals of the degrees of its vertices. We prove that in any connected planar graph, the diameter is at most 5/2 times the inverse degree, and that this ratio is tight. To develop a crucial surgery method ...
