We prove that if G = (VG, EG) is a finite, simple, and undirected graph with κ components and independence number α(G), then there exist a positive integer k ∈ N and a functi...
We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...
Let n(G) denote the number of vertices of a graph G and let (G) be the independence number of G, the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of G. The Hall ratio of a grap...
In graphical modelling, a bi-directed graph encodes marginal independences among random variables that are identified with the vertices of the graph. We show how to transform a bi...
Wang and Lih conjectured that for every g 5, there exists a number M(g) such that the square of a planar graph G of girth at least g and maximum degree M(g) is (+1)-colorable. ...
