Abstract We study a security game over network played between defender and k attackers . Every attacker chooses, probabilistically, node of the to damage. The probabilistically as well, connected induced subgraph $$\lambda $$ λ nodes scan clean. Each wishes maximize probability escaping her cleaning by defender...

When a small pattern graph does not occur inside a larger target graph, we can ask how to find “as much of the pattern as possible” inside the target graph. In general, this is known as the maximum common subgraph problem, which is much more computationally challenging in practice than subgraph isomorphism. We introduce a restricted alternative, where we ask if all but k vertices from the patte...

matroids are important combinatorial structures and connect close-lywith graphs. matroids and graphs were all generalized to fuzzysetting respectively. this paper tries to study  connections betweenfuzzy matroids and fuzzy graphs. for a given fuzzy graph, we firstinduce a sequence of matroids  from a sequence of crisp graph, i.e.,cuts of the fuzzy graph. a fuzzy matroid, named graph fuzzy matro...

the zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of kb,b which does not contain ks,s as a subgraph. the two-color bipartite ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of kb,b with two colors contains a ks,s in the rst color or a kt,t in the second color.in this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computin...
