Testing hereditary properties of nonexpanding bounded-degree graphs [PDF]
We study graph properties that are testable for bounded-degree graphs in time independent of the input size. Our goal is to distinguish between graphs having a predetermined graph property and graphs that are far from every graph having that property. It

Sparse Graphs With Local Covering Conditions on Edges
ABSTRACT In 1988, Erdős suggested the question of minimizing the number of edges in a connected n $n$‐vertex graph where every edge is contained in a triangle. Shortly after, Catlin, Grossman, Hobbs, and Lai resolved this in a stronger form. In this paper, we study a natural generalization of the question of Erdős in which we replace “triangle” with ...

A graph rewriting programming language for graph drawing [PDF]
This paper describes Grrr, a prototype visual graph drawing tool. Previously there were no visual languages for programming graph drawing algorithms despite the inherently visual nature of the process.

The 1 3 $\frac{1}{3}$‐Conjectures for Domination in Cubic Graphs
ABSTRACT A set S $S$ of vertices in a graph G $G$ is a dominating set of G $G$ if every vertex not in S $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in S $S$. The domination number of G $G$, denoted by γ ( G ) $\gamma (G)$, is the minimum cardinality among all dominating sets in G $G$. In a breakthrough paper in 2008, Löwenstein and Rautenbach proved that if G $G$ is a

A Sharp Forbidden Interval for the Nontrivial Adjacency Eigenvalues of Trivially Perfect Graphs
We prove a sharp forbidden interval for the nontrivial adjacency eigenvalues of trivially perfect graphs. More precisely, we show that if $G$ is a trivially perfect graph, then $\operatorname{Spec}(G)\cap [\sqrt{8}-4,0]\subseteq \{-1,0\}$. Moreover, we prove that the interval is best possible at both endpoints: there are connected trivially perfect ...

From Finding a Spanning Subgraph H $H$ to an H $H$‐Factor
ABSTRACT A typical Dirac‐type problem in extremal graph theory is to determine the minimum degree threshold for a graph G $G$ to have a spanning subgraph H $H$, for example, the Dirac theorem. A natural follow‐up problem is to seek an H $H$‐factor, which is a spanning set of vertex‐disjoint copies of H $H$.

Disrupting the Chain of Displaced Aggression: A Review and Agenda for Future Research
ABSTRACT Displaced aggression refers to instances in which a person redirects their harm‐doing behavior from a primary to a secondary, substitute target. Since the publication of the first empirical article in 1948, there has been a noticeable surge in research referencing this theory in both management and psychology journals.

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

On the Complexity of the Paper Selection Problem for the Italian Research Quality Evaluation (VQR)
ABSTRACT This work addresses the paper selection problem that each Italian university and department faced in the context of the research quality evaluation (VQR) of the Italian university system for the period 2020–2024. Given the set of researchers of a university and their associated papers, the problem consists of selecting a fixed number of ...

Independent sets of maximum weight in apple-free graphs [PDF]
We present the first polynomial-time algorithm to solve the maximum weight independent set problem for apple-free graphs, which is a common generalization of several important classes where the problem can be solved efficiently, such as claw-free graphs,
