A monotone cylindrical graph is a topological graph drawn on an open cylinder with an infinite vertical axis satisfying the condition that every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. It is called simple if any pair of its edges have at most one ...
We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leading to a d ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the underlying graph associated with an Ising model given a number of independent and identically distributed samples. We adopt an approximate recovery criterion that allows for a number of missed edges ...
We study the impact of metric constraints on the realizability of planar graphs. Let G be a subgraph of a planar graph H (where H is the "host" of G). The graph G is free in H if for every choice of positive lengths for the edges of G, the host H has a pla ...
A simple topological graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its edges are represented by continuous arcs with the property that any two of them meet at most once. Let be a complete simple topological graph on vertices. The three edges induced by any t ...
A diameter graph in is a graph whose set of vertices is a finite subset of and whose set of edges is formed by pairs of vertices that are at diameter apart. This paper is devoted to the study of different extremal properties of diameter graphs in and on a ...
We study some variants of Conway’s thrackle conjecture. A tangle is a graph drawn in the plane such that its edges are represented by continuous arcs, and any two edges share precisely one point, which is either a common endpoint or an interior point at wh ...
We settle a problem of Dujmovic, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood by showing that there exists a function f with the property that every planar graph G with maximum degree d admits a drawing with noncrossing straight-line edges, using at most f(d) different sl ...
A graph drawn in the plane is called k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pair-wise crossing edges. It has been conjectured for a long time that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges of a k-quasi-planar graph with n vertices is O(n). The best k ...
Over the past decade, investigations in different fields have focused on studying and understanding real networks, ranging from biological to social to technological. These networks, called complex networks, exhibit common topological features, such as a h ...
We derive a framework for sampling online communities based on the mean hitting time of its members, considering that there are multiple graphs associated with the same vertex set V representing the social network. First, we formulate random walk models on ...
