For a positive integer $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph of a graph $G$ has as vertex set all proper $k$-colourings of $G$ with two $k$-colourings being adjacent if they differ by the colour of exactly one vertex. A result of Dyer et al.…

Given a graph $G$ then a subgraph $H$ is $isometric$ if, for every pair of vertices $u,v$ of $H$, we have $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$. We say a graph $G$ is $distance\ preserving\ (dp)$ if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order up…

For a simple graph $G$, the $3$-distance graph, $D_3(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $3$ in the graph $G$. For a connected graph $G$, we provide some conditions for…

A low-dimensional version of our main result is the following `converse' of the Conway-Gordon-Sachs Theorem on intrinsic linking of the graph $K_6$ in 3-space: For any integer $z$ there are 6 points $1,2,3,4,5,6$ in 3-space, of which every…

In a digraph $D=(V,A)$, an oriented path is a sequence $P=x_1x_2\dots x_p$ of distinct vertices such that either $x_ix_{i+1}\in A$ or $x_{i+1}x_{i}\in A$ or both for every $i\in [p-1]$. If $x_ix_{i+1}\in A$ in $P$, then $x_ix_{i+1}$ is a…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ with a vertex set $V$ and an edge set $E$ is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG, for short) if there are a tree $T$ whose leaf set is $V$, a non-negative edge weight $w$ in $T$, and two non-negative reals…

A cubical polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to cubes. We deal with the connectivity of the graphs of cubical polytopes. We first establish that, for any $d\ge 3$, the graph of a cubical $d$-polytope…

A type of directed multigraph called a W-digraph is introduced to model the structure of certain representations of Hecke algebras, including those constructed by Lusztig and Vogan from involutions in a Weyl group. Building on results of…

We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…

This paper analyzes a class of recursive distributional equations (RDE's) proposed by Gurel-Gurevich [17] and involving a bias parameter $p$, which includes the logarithm of the resistance of the series-parallel graph. A discrete-time…

Given a connected undirected multigraph G (a graph that may contain parallel edges), the algorithm of [19] finds the 3-edge-connected components of $G$ in linear time using an innovative graph contraction technique based on a depth-first…

Given two $k$-dicolourings of a digraph $D$, we prove that it is PSPACE-complete to decide whether we can transform one into the other by recolouring one vertex at each step while maintaining a dicolouring at any step even for $k=2$ and for…

We explore a reconfiguration version of the dominating set problem, where a dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex is either in $S$ or has a neighbour in $S$. In a reconfiguration problem, the goal is…

In my 1993 paper, "Pappus's Theorem and the Modular Group", I explained how the iteration of Pappus's Theorem gives rise to a $2$-parameter family of representations of the modular group into the group of projective automorphisms. In this…

In this paper, we show that for any positive integer $m$ and $k\in [2]$, let $G$ be a $(2m+2k+2)$-connected graph and let $a_1,\ldots , a_m, s, t$ be any distinct vertices of $G$, there are $k$ internally disjoint $s$-$t$ paths $P_1,…

With the help of Wick rotation over $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$, the $p$-adic version of Euclidean $\textrm{dS}_2$ space(noted as $p\textrm{dS}_2$) is obtained based on $p\textrm{AdS}_2$($p$-adic version of Euclidean $\textrm{AdS}_2$…

We show that, under weak assumptions, the automorphism group of a ${\rm CAT(0)}$ cube complex $X$ coincides with the automorphism group of Hagen's contact graph $\mathcal{C}(X)$. The result holds, in particular, for universal covers of…

A prominent tool in many problems involving metric spaces is a notion of randomized low-diameter decomposition. Loosely speaking, $\beta$-decomposition refers to a probability distribution over partitions of the metric into sets of low…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of straight-line segments in the plane, potentially crossing, and let $c$ be a positive integer. We denote by $P$ the union of the endpoints of the straight-line segments of $\mathcal{D}$ and of the intersection…

Let $k$ be an integer with $k\geq 2$. A digraph $D$ is $k$-quasi-transitive, if for any path $x_0x_1\ldots x_k$ of length $k$, $x_0$ and $x_k$ are adjacent. Suppose that there exists a path of length at least $k+2$ in $D$. Let $P$ be a…
