Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is a $k$-metric generator for $G$ if for any two different vertices $u,v\in V$, there exist at least $k$ vertices $w_1,...,w_k\in S$ such that $d_G(u,w_i)\ne d_G(v,w_i)$ for every…

The crossing number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of $G$ in the plane. A rectilinear drawing of a graph $G$ represents vertices of $G$ by a set of points in the plane and represents each edge of $G$ by a…

The metric dimension, $\dim(G)$, of a graph $G$ is a graph parameter motivated by robot navigation that has been studied extensively. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(x,y)$ denote the length of a shortest $x-y$ path in…

A set of vertices $S$ resolves a graph if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of the graph. Fix a connected…

Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs, with $|V(H)|\geq |V(G)| $, and $f:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ a one to one map of their vertices. Let $dilation(f) = max\{ dist_{H}(f(x),f(y)): xy\in E(G) \}$, where $dist_{H}(v,w)$ is the distance between vertices $v$…

The $2$-packing number $\rho_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest $2$-packing of $G$ and the open packing number $\rho^{\rm o}(G)$ is the cardinality of a largest open packing of $G$, where an open packing (resp.…

We initiate the study of diameter computation in geometric intersection graphs from the fine-grained complexity perspective. A geometric intersection graph is a graph whose vertices correspond to some shapes in $d$-dimensional Euclidean…

An $r$-identifying code on a graph $G$ is a set $C\subset V(G)$ such that for every vertex in $V(G)$, the intersection of the radius-$r$ closed neighborhood with $C$ is nonempty and unique. On a finite graph, the density of a code is…

Let $G = (V,w)$ be a weighted undirected graph with $m$ edges. The cut dimension of $G$ is the dimension of the span of the characteristic vectors of the minimum cuts of $G$, viewed as vectors in $\{0,1\}^m$. For every $n \ge 2$ we show…

A \textit{biclique} is a maximal induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$. The \textit{biclique graph} of a graph $G$, denoted by $KB(G)$, is the intersection graph of the family of all bicliques of $G$. In this work we study some…

If $x\in V(G)$, then $S\subseteq V(G)\setminus\{x\}$ is an $x$-visibility set if for any $y\in S$ there exists a shortest $x,y$-path avoiding $S$. The $x$-visibility number $v_x(G)$ is the maximum cardinality of an $x$-visibility set, and…

We prove that if $G = G_1\times\dots\times G_n$ acts essentially, properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex X, then the cube complex splits as a product. We use this theorem to give various examples of groups for which the minimal…

For a compact set $E \subset \mathbb R^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k+1$ points in $E$ such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the corresponding…

A graph $G$ is $m$-minor-universal if every graph with at most $m$ edges (and no isolated vertices) is a minor of $G$. We prove that the $d$-dimensional hypercube, $Q_d$, is $\Omega\left(\frac{2^d}{d}\right)$-minor-universal, and that there…

Mutual visibility in graphs requires pairs of vertices to be connected by shortest paths that avoid all other vertices of a prescribed set, a condition that is often overly restrictive. In this paper, we introduce a new variant, called…
