A $k$-edge-weighting of $G$ is a mapping $\omega:E(G)\longrightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$. The edge-weighting of $G$ naturally induces a vertex-colouring $\sigma_{\omega}:V(G)\longrightarrow \mathbb{N}$ given by$\sigma_{\omega}(v)=\sum_{u\in…
Discrete curvatures are quantities associated to the nodes and edges of a graph that reflect the local geometry around them. These curvatures have a rich mathematical theory and they have recently found success as a tool to analyze networks…
Beyond-planarity focuses on the study of geometric and topological graphs that are in some sense nearly-planar. Here, planarity is relaxed by allowing edge crossings, but only with respect to some local forbidden crossing configurations.…
We introduce a class of graphs called compound graphs, generalizing rectangles, which are constructed out of copies of a planar bipartite base graph. The main result is that the number of perfect matchings of every compound graph is…
We study the set of networks, which consist of sources, sinks and neutral points, bijective to the permutations. The set of directed edges, which characterizes a network, is constructed from a polyomino or a Rothe diagram of a permutation…
A k-triangulation of a convex polygon is a maximal set of diagonals so that no k+1 of them mutually cross in their interiors. We present a bijection between 2-triangulations of a convex n-gon and pairs of non-crossing Dyck paths of length…
A locally irregular multigraph is a multigraph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. The locally irregular edge coloring is an edge coloring of a multigraph $G$ such that every color induces a locally irregular submultigraph of…
A digraph is semicomplete if any two vertices are connected by at least one arc and is locally semicomplete if the out-neighbourhood and the in-neighbourhood of any vertex induce a semicomplete digraph. In this paper we study various…
We prove several criteria for quasi-isometry between non-locally-finite graphs and their structure trees. Results of M\"oller in \cite{moeller92ends2} for locally finite and transitive graphs are generalized. We also give a criterion which…
The degree/diameter problem for mixed graphs asks for the largest possible order of a mixed graph with given diameter and degree parameters. Similarly the \emph{degree/geodecity} problem concerns the smallest order of a $k$-geodetic mixed…
Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph G, a pebbling move is defined as the removal of two pebbles from some vertex, and the placement of one of these on an adjacent vertex. We introduce the notion of…
We formulate and prove a variational principle (in the sense of thermodynamics) for random domino tilings, or equivalently for the dimer model on a square grid. This principle states that a typical tiling of an arbitrary finite region can…
For a directed graph G on vertices {0,1,...,n}, a G-parking function is an n-tuple (b_1,...,b_n) of non-negative integers such that, for every non-empty subset U of {1,...,n}, there exists a vertex j in U for which there are more than b_j…
Luo, Tian and Wu (2022) conjectured that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+t$, where $t=$max$\{|X|,|Y|\}$, contains a tree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$…
The enumeration of linear $\lambda$-terms has attracted quite some attention recently, partly due to their link to combinatorial maps. Zeilberger and Giorgetti (2015) gave a recursive bijection between planar linear normal $\lambda$-terms…
Packing graphs is a combinatorial problem where several given graphs are being mapped into a common host graph such that every edge is used at most once. In the planar tree packing problem we are given two trees T1 and T2 on n vertices and…
We show that an intricate relation of cluster properties and optimal bipartitions, which takes place in undirected random graphs, extends to directed and mixed random graphs. In particular, the satisfability threshold coincides with the…
We address the problem of testing whether a given dynamic graph is temporally connected, {\it i.e} a temporal path (also called a {\em journey}) exists between all pairs of vertices. We consider a discrete version of the problem, where the…
The subdivision graph $S(\Sigma)$ of a connected graph $\Sigma$ is constructed by adding a vertex in the middle of each edge. In a previous paper written with Cheryl E. Praeger, we characterised the graphs $\Sigma$ such that $S(\Sigma)$ is…
We introduce a new combinatorial object called tower diagrams and prove fundamental properties of these objects. We also introduce an algorithm that allows us to slide words to tower diagrams. We show that the algorithm is well-defined only…
