1. Excluding an induced wheel minor in graphs without large induced starsMujin Choi, Claire Hilaire, Martin Milanič, Sebastian Wiederrecht, 2026, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: We study a conjecture due to Dallard, Krnc, Kwon, Milanič, Munaro, Štorgel, and Wiederrecht stating that for any positive integer d and any planar graph H, the class of all K_{1,d}-free graphs without H as an induced minor has bounded tree-independence number. A k-wheel is the graph obtained from a cycle of length k by adding a vertex adjacent to all vertices of the cycle. We show that the conjecture of Dallard et al. is true when H is a k-wheel for any k at least 3. Our proof uses a generalization of the concept of brambles to tree-independence number. As a consequence of our main result, several important NP-hard problems such as Maximum Independent Set are tractable on K_{1,d}-free graphs without large induced wheel minors. Moreover, for fixed d and k, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm that, given a K_{1,d}-free graph G as input, finds an induced minor model of a k-wheel in G if one exists.

2. Primitive, edge-short, isometric, and pantochordal cyclesGover E. C. Guzman, Marcos E. González Laffitte, André Fujita, Peter F. Stadler, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A cycle in a graph G is said to be primitive from its vertex x if at least one of its edges does not belong to any shorter cycle that passes through x. This type of cycle and an associated notion of extended neighborhoods play a key role in message-passing algorithms that compute spectral properties of graphs with short loops. Here, we investigate such primitive cycles and graphs without long primitive cycles in a more traditional graph-theoretic framework. We show that a cycle is primitive from all its vertices if and only if it is isometric. We call a cycle fully redundant cycles if it is not primitive from any of its vertices and show that fully redundant cycles, in particular, are not edge short, i.e., they cannot be represented as the edge-disjoint union of a single edge and two shortest paths in G. The families Rk and Lk of graphs with all cycles of length at least k + 1 being fully redundant and not edge-short, respectively, coincide for k = 3 and k = 4. In these graphs, all cycles of length at least k + 1 are pantochordal, i.e., each of their vertices is incident with a chord. None of these results generalizes to k ≥ 5. Moreover, R₃ = L₃ turn out to be the block graphs, and R₄ = L₄ are the graphs with complete multi-partite blocks. The cographs, finally, are shown to form a proper subset of R₅.
