For a given geometric graph-convexity on a graph $G$ equipped with a weight function on the vertices with value in $\mathbb{Z}$, the Max Weight Convex Set problem consists in determining the convex set $S$ with maximum weight (sum of the weight of the vertices in $S$). Although the problem is NP-complete in general, it remains polynomial for particular cases. After a survey of known results, our main contribution uses a generalisation of the maximum subsequence problem to laminar trees. Then we derive a linear algorithm for proper interval graphs and a quadratic one for interval graphs. Both improve the state of the art.
The main objective of this paper is to develop Krein-Milman-type theorems and Ulam-type stability results for graphs. To establish these results, we introduce several meaningful definitions of vertex-weighted convex graphs inspired by the concept of sequential convexity. We also present a close relationship between the...
Maxwell observed that the graph of any rigid generic framework in $\mathbb{R}^d$ on $n$ vertices has at least $dn-\binom{d+1}{2}$ edges. In this article we prove that graphs whose complement has maximum degree at most two and no component isomorphic to a triangle or a square are rigid in the maximum dimension allowed b...

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and let $S\subseteq V(G)$. We prove that the minimum number of vertices meeting every cycle that intersects $S$ is at most the maximum number of vertices of $S$ covered by a collection of vertex-disjoint cycles. This answers a question posed by Bowler, Ghorbani, Gut, Jacobs, and Reich [...
Given a graph $G$, we show that the mixed metric dimension of $G$ is exactly $\ell(G)+2c(G)$ if and only if $G$ is either a cactus graph in which every cycle has precisely one vertex of degree at least $3$, or a balanced $\Theta$-graph, where $\ell(G)$ and $c(G)$ denote the number of leaves and the cyclomatic number of...
A point set is universal for planar graphs on $n$ vertices if every such graph has a straight-line drawing without crossings whose vertices belong to the set. We construct universal point sets of size $n^{1+o(1)}$, improving the previous quadratic upper bound. Our construction uses the reduction of Bannister, Cheng, De...
We prove that there is an absolute constant $c>0$ such that every connected vertex-transitive graph $G$ on $n \ge 3$ vertices contains a cycle of length at least $cn$. Moreover, every such graph with sufficiently large degree $d$ contains a cycle of length at least $(1-d^{-1/100})n$. This gives the first linear bound t...
