We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for randomly sampling (proper) k-colorings of an input graph G on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ and girth g. We...
Abstract. The depth of a planar embedding is a measure of the topological nesting of the biconnected components of the graph. Minimizing the depth of planar embeddings has importan...
Let Mad(G) denote the maximum average degree (over all subgraphs) of G and let i(G) denote the injective chromatic number of G. We prove that if Mad(G) 5 2 , then i(G) + 1; sim...
We study the following problem. Given a weighted planar graph G, assign labels L(v) to vertices so that given L(u), L(v) and L(x) for x ∈ X for any X ⊂ V (G), compute the dist...
