Totally Disjoint Diametral Paths

Tınaz Ekim, Arthur Farley

In this paper, we study totally disjoint diametral paths in simple connected graphs. A diametral path in a graph is a shortest path that connects two vertices whose mutual distance…

A Benders Decomposition Approach for the k-Defensive Domination Problem

Bilge Varol, Tınaz Ekim, Kübra Tanınmış

The k-defensive domination problem is a powerful modeling tool for strategic decision-making in network security and disaster/emergency management, where multiple nodes may be simu…

Perfect Graph Modification Problems: An Integer Programming Approach

Burak Nur Erdem, Tınaz Ekim, Zeki Caner Taşkın

Graph modification problems aim to find a small set of modifications to a graph so that it satisfies a desired property. The literature is rather rich in NP-completeness results an…

Sparse Sets in Triangle-free Graphs

Tınaz Ekim, Burak Nur Erdem, John Gimbel

A set of vertices is -sparse if it induces a graph with a maximum degree of at most . In this missive, we consider the order of the largest -sparse set in a triangle-free…

Generation of weighted trees, block trees and block graphs

Tınaz Ekim, Mordechai Shalom, Mehmet Aziz Yirik

We present a general framework to generate trees every vertex of which has a non-negative weight and a color. The colors are used to impose certain restrictions on the weight and c…

Constructing extremal triangle-free graphs using integer programming

Ali Erdem Banak, Tınaz Ekim, Z. Caner Taşkın

The maximum number of edges in a graph with matching number m and maximum degree d has been determined in [1] and [2], where some extremal graphs have also been provided. Then, a n…
