This paper proposes a novel graph matching algorithm and applies it to shape recognition based on object silhouettes. The main idea is to match skeleton graphs by comparing the geo...
A k-separated matching in a graph is a set of edges at distance at least k from one another (hence, for instance, a 1-separated matching is just a matching in the classical sense)...
We give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a shortest contractible cycle (i.e. a closed walk without repeated vertices) in a graph embedded in a surface. This answers a question ...
We prove results on the size of weakly and strongly separating set systems and matrices, and on cross-intersecting systems. As a consequence, we improve on a result of Katona and ...
