About the Lab
Professor Boram Park's research lab specializes in graph theory and combinatorics, with a focus on competition graphs, phylogeny graphs, and hypergraphs derived from directed graphs. The lab investigates structural properties of these graphs, particularly their relationships to interval graphs and chromatic numbers, and explores fundamental parameters such as competition numbers and hypercompetition numbers. A central theme is understanding how digraph structures give rise to specific graph or hypergraph characteristics, with applications in algorithmic graph theory and discrete mathematics.

15The competition graph of a doubly partial order is known to be an interval graph. The CCE graph and the niche graph of a doubly partial order are also known to be interval graphs if the graphs do not contain a cycle of length four and three as an induced subgraph, respectively. Phylogeny graphs are variant of competition graphs. The phylogeny graph $P(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the (simple undirected) graph defined by $V(P(D)):=V(D)$ and $E(P(D)):=\{xy \mid N^+_D(x) \cap N^+_D(y) \neq \emptyset \}
Abstract Given a graph , a dominating set of is a set of vertices such that each vertex not in has a neighbor in . Let denote the minimum size of a dominating set of . The independent domination number of , denoted , is the minimum size of a dominating set of that is also independent. We prove that if is a cubic graph without 4‐cycles, then , and the bound is tight. This result improves upon two results from two papers by Abrishami and Henning. Our result also implies that every cubic graph with
Abstract Let k and ℓ be positive integers. A cycle with two blocks is a digraph obtained by an orientation of an undirected cycle, which consists of two internally (vertex) disjoint paths of lengths at least k and ℓ, respectively, from a vertex to another one. A problem of Addario‐Berry, Havet and Thomassé [ J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 97 (2007), 620–626] asked if, given positive integers k and ℓ such that , any strongly connected digraph D containing no has chromatic number at most . In this artic
The competition hypergraph $C{\cH}(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the hypergraph such that the vertex set is the same as $D$ and $e \subseteq V(D)$ is a hyperedge if and only if $e$ contains at least 2 vertices and $e$ coincides with the in-neighborhood of some vertex $v$ in the digraph $D$. Any hypergraph with sufficiently many isolated vertices is the competition hypergraph of an acyclic digraph. The hypercompetition number $hk(\cH)$ of a hypergraph $\cH$ is defined to be the smallest number of such
Let D be an acyclic digraph. The competition graph of D is a graph which has the same vertex set as D and has an edge between u and v if and only if there exists a vertex x in D such that (u, x) and (v, x) are arcs of D. For any graph G, G together with sufficiently many isolated vertices is the competition graph of some acyclic digraph. The competition number k(G) of G is the smallest number of such isolated vertices. In general, it is hard to compute the competition number k(G) for a graph G a
