Whenever some phenomenon can be represented as a graph or a network it seems pertinent to explore how much the mathematical properties of that network impact the phenomenon. In this study we explore the same philosophy in the context of immunology.

Vertex Cover Kernelization Revisited: Upper and Lower Bounds for a Refined Parameter [PDF]
An important result in the study of polynomial-time preprocessing shows that there is an algorithm which given an instance (G,k) of Vertex Cover outputs an equivalent instance (G',k') in polynomial time with the guarantee that G' has at most 2k' vertices

Generalization of the Cover Pebbling Number for Networks
Pebbling can be viewed as a model of resource transportation for networks. We use a graph to denote the network. A pebbling move on a graph consists of the removal of two pebbles from a vertex and the placement of one pebble on an adjacent vertex.

Edge Dominating Sets and Vertex Covers
Bipartite graphs with equal edge domination number and maximum matching cardinality are characterized. These two parameters are used to develop bounds on the vertex cover and total vertex cover numbers of graphs and a resulting chain of vertex covering ...

Dynamic monopolies in simple graphs [PDF]
This paper studies a repetitive polling game played on an $n$-vertex graph $G$. At first, each vertex is colored, Black or White. At each round, each vertex (simultaneously) recolors itself by the color of the majority of its closed neighborhood.

Combinatorial Dominance Guarantees for Heuristic Algorithms [PDF]
An $f(n)$ $\textit{dominance bound}$ on a heuristic for some problem is a guarantee that the heuristic always returns a solution not worse than at least $f(n)$ solutions.

This paper presents a novel travelling wave-based placement strategy and fault detection scheme to locate faults on complex power grids. A fault occurring on a power grid results in travelling waves propagating from the fault location towards detectors ...

Distributed Vertex Cover Reconfiguration
Reconfiguration schedules, i.e., sequences that gradually transform one solution of a problem to another while always maintaining feasibility, have been extensively studied. Most research has dealt with the decision problem of whether a reconfiguration schedule exists, and the complexity of finding one.

Vertex cover and Edge vertex domination in trees
Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. An edge e ∈ E(G) edge-vertex dominates a vertex v ∈ V (G) if e is incident with v or e is incident with a vertex adjacent to v. A subset D ⊆ E(G) is an edge-vertex dominating set of a graph G if every vertex of G is edge-vertex dominated by an edge of D.
