Perfect Matching Under Precedence Constraints
Networks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 175-190, March 2026.ABSTRACT In this article, we motivate and define variants of perfect matching under precedence constraints where a perfect matching is built incrementally and precedence constraints ensure that an edge may only be added to the matching if the edge's predecessor vertices have already been covered.

Adjacency posets of outerplanar graphs [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics, 2021 Felsner, Li and Trotter showed that the dimension of the adjacency poset of an outerplanar graph is at most 5, and gave an example of an outerplanar graph whose adjacency poset has dimension 4. We improve their upper bound to 4, which is then best possible.

Computing Minimum Cycle Bases in Weighted Partial 2-Trees in Linear Time
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2014 We present a linear time algorithm for computing an implicit linear space representation of a minimum cycle basis in weighted partial 2-trees (i.e., graphs of treewidth at most two) with non-negative edge-weights. The implicit representation can be made

Strong Chromatic Index of Outerplanar Graphs
Axioms, 2022 The strong chromatic index χs′(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed in a proper edge-coloring so that every color class induces a matching in G. It was proved In 2013, that every outerplanar graph G with Δ≥3 has χs′(G)≤3Δ−3.

Face Sizes and the Connectivity of the Dual
Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 379-391, December 2025.ABSTRACT For each c ≥ 1, we prove tight lower bounds on face sizes that must be present to allow 1‐ or 2‐cuts in simple duals of c‐connected maps. Using these bounds, we determine the smallest genus on which a c‐connected map can have a simple dual with a 2‐cut and give lower and some upper bounds for the smallest genus on which a c‐connected map can ...

On the Edge-Length Ratio of Outerplanar Graphs [PDF]
Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 We show that any outerplanar graph admits a planar straightline drawing such that the length ratio of the longest to the shortest edges is strictly less than 2. This result is tight in the sense that for any $ε> 0$ there are outerplanar graphs that cannot be drawn with an edge-length ratio smaller than $2 - ε$.

Approximation Algorithms for the Maximum Induced Planar and Outerplanar Subgraph Problems
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2007 The task of finding the largest subset of vertices of a graph that induces a planar subgraph is known as the Maximum Induced Planar Subgraph problem (MIPS). In this paper, some new approximation algorithms for MIPS are introduced.

Recognizing Trees From Incomplete Decks
Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 322-336, November 2025.ABSTRACT Given a graph G, the unlabeled subgraphs G − v are called the cards of G. The deck of G is the multiset { G − v : v ∈ V ( G ) }. Wendy Myrvold showed that a disconnected graph and a connected graph both on n vertices have at most ⌊ n 2 ⌋ + 1 cards in common and found (infinite) families of trees and disconnected forests for which this upper ...

Characterizations of outerplanar graphs
Discrete Mathematics, 1979 AbstractThe paper presents several characterizations of outerplanar graphs, some of them are counterparts of the well-known characterizations of planar graphs and the other provide very efficient tools for outerplanarity testing, coding (i.e. isomorphism testing), and counting such graphs.

On Endomorphism Universality of Sparse Graph Classes
Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 223-244, October 2025.ABSTRACT We show that every commutative idempotent monoid (a.k.a. lattice) is the endomorphism monoid of a subcubic graph. This solves a problem of Babai and Pultr and the degree bound is best‐possible. On the other hand, we show that no class excluding a minor can have all commutative idempotent monoids among its endomorphism monoids. As a by‐product,
