1. Graph classes closed under self-intersectionKonrad K. Dabrowski, Vadim V. Lozin, Martin Milanič, Andrea Munaro, Daniël Paulusma, Viktor Zamaraev, 2026, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: A graph class is monotone if it is closed under taking subgraphs. A monotone class defined by finitely many obstructions has bounded treewidth if and only if one of the obstructions is a tripod, i.e. a disjoint union of subdivided claws and paths. This dichotomy also characterizes exactly those monotone graph classes for which many NP-hard graph problems admit polynomial-time algorithms. These dichotomies do not extend to the universe of all hereditary classes. This leads to the question of whether we can extend known dichotomies for monotone classes to larger families of hereditary classes. We answer this question affirmatively by considering the family of hereditary graph classes closed under self-intersection. This family is known to be located strictly between the monotone and hereditary classes. We prove a new structural characterization of graphs in self-intersection-closed classes excluding a tripod. In contrast to monotone classes excluding a tripod, these classes do not necessarily have bounded treewidth; in fact, they do not even need to be sparse. We use our characterization to give a complete dichotomy for Maximum Independent Set, and its weighted variant, on self-intersection-closed classes defined by finitely many obstructions: these problems are in P if the class excludes a tripod and NP-hard otherwise. Our dichotomy generalizes several known results on Maximum Independent Set in the literature. We also apply our characterization to obtain a dichotomy for Maximum Induced Matching on self-intersection-closed classes of bipartite graphs defined by finitely many obstructions, and for Satisfiability and Counting Satisfiability on self-intersection-closed classes of (bipartite) incidence graphs defined by finitely many obstructions. Finally, we use our characterization to obtain a dichotomy for boundedness of clique-width for self-intersection-closed classes of bipartite graphs defined by finitely many obstructions.

2. Groups with elements of order 8 do not have the DCI propertyTed Dobson, Joy Morris, Pablo Spiga, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let k be odd, and n an odd multiple of 3. Although this can also be deduced from known results, we provide a new proof that Ck ⋊ C₈ and (Cn × C₃) ⋊ C₈ do not have the Directed Cayley Isomorphism (DCI) property. When k is prime, Ck ⋊ C₈ had previously been proved to have the Cayley Isomorphism (CI) property. To the best of our knowledge, the groups Cp ⋊ C₈ (where p is an odd prime) are only the second known infinite family of groups that have the CI property but do not have the DCI property. This also provides a new proof of the result (which follows from known results but was not explicitly published) that no group with an element of order 8 has the DCI property.
One piece of our proof is a new result that may prove to be of independent interest: we show that if a permutation group has a regular subgroup of index 2 then it must be 2-closed.

5. Minimal normal subgroups of transitive permutation groups of square-free degreeEdward Tauscher Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: It is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a transitive permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple and quasiprimitive, with three exceptions related to ▫$A_5$▫, ▫$A_7$▫, and PSL(2,29). Moreover, it is shown that a minimal normal subgroup of a 2-closed permutation group of square-free degree in its induced action is simple. As an almost immediate consequence, it follows that a 2-closed transitive permutation group of square-free degree contains a semiregular element of prime order, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs,Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the fifteenth British combinatorial conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

6. Semiregular automorphisms of vertex-transitive graphs of certain valenciesEdward Tauscher Dobson, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, Lewis A. Nowitz, 2007, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: It is shown that a vertex-transitive graph of valency ▫$p+1$▫, ▫$p$▫ a prime, admitting a transitive action of a ▫$\{2,p\}$▫-group, has a non-identity semiregular automorphism. As a consequence, it is proved that a quartic vertex-transitive graph has a non-identity semiregular automorphism, thus giving a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture that all vertex-transitive graphs have such an automorphism and, more generally, that all 2-closed transitive permutation groups contain such an element (see [D. Marušic, On vertex symmetric digraphs, Discrete Math. 36 (1981) 69-81; P.J. Cameron (Ed.), Problems from the Fifteenth British Combinatorial Conference, Discrete Math. 167/168 (1997) 605-615]).

On maximal distances in a commuting graphGregor Dolinar, Bojan Kuzma, Polona Oblak, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: It is shown that matrices over algebraically closed fields that are farthest apart in the commuting graph must be non-derogatory. Rank-one matrices and diagonalizable matrices are also characterized in terms of the commuting graph.
