Abstract

Let GG be a connected graph and XV(G)\cal X \subseteq V(G). By definition, two vertices uu and vv are X\cal X-visible in GG if there exists a shortest u,vu,v-path with all internal vertices being outside of the set X\cal X. The largest size of X\cal X such that any two vertices of GG (resp. any two vertices from X\cal X) are X\cal X-visible is the total mutual-visibility number (resp. the mutual-visibility number) of GG. In this paper, we determine the total mutual-visibility number of Kneser graphs, bipartite Kneser graphs, and Johnson graphs. The formulas proved for Kneser, and bipartite Kneser graphs are related to the size of transversal-critical uniform hypergraphs, while the total mutual-visibility number of Johnson graphs is equal to a hypergraph Tur\'an number. Exact values or estimations for the mutual-visibility number over these graph classes are also established.
