Let $R$ be a noncommutative ring with identity. The commuting graph of $R$, denoted by $\Gamma(R)$, is a graph with vertex set $R \setminus Z(R)$, and two vertices $a$, $b$ are adjacent if $a\neq b$ and $ab=ba$. Let $T=Tr(R)$ be the ring of…

Metric graphs are ubiquitous in science and engineering. For example, many data are drawn from hidden spaces that are graph-like, such as the cosmic web. A metric graph offers one of the simplest yet still meaningful ways to represent the…

We investigate the problem of efficiently computing optimal transport (OT) distances, which is equivalent to the node-capacitated minimum cost maximum flow problem in a bipartite graph. We compare runtimes in computing OT distances on data…

A square matrix $M$ represents a graph $\Gamma$ if its nonzero off-diagonal entries encode the adjacencies of $\Gamma$, subject to a fixed ordering of the vertices. Over the field of two elements, we investigate the distribution of ranks in…

We study deterministic constructions of graphs for which the unique completion of low rank matrices is generically possible regardless of the values of the entries. We relate the completability to the presence of some patterns (particular…

Let $G = K_{n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_t}$ be a complete $t$-partite graph on $n=\sum_{i=1}^t n_i$ vertices. The distance between vertices $i$ and $j$ in $G$, denoted by $d_{ij}$ is defined to be the length of the shortest path between $i$ and $j$.…

We prove distance bounds for graphs possessing positive Bakry-\'Emery curvature apart from an exceptional set, where the curvature is allowed to be non-positive. If the set of non-positively curved vertices is finite, then the graph admits…

In this paper we propose and study a new structural invariant for graphs, called distance-unbalanced\-ness, as a measure of how much a graph is (un)balanced in terms of distances. Explicit formulas are presented for several classes of…

We study properties of contiguity distance between simplicial maps. In particular, we show that simplicial versions of $LS$-category and topological complexity are particular cases of this more general notion.

Let $G$ be a finite, non-abelian group of the form $G = A N$, where $A \leq G$ is abelian, and $N \trianglelefteq G$ is cyclic. We prove that the commuting graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ is either a connected graph of diameter at most four, or…

For arbitrary semimetric space $(X, d)$ and disjoint proximinal subsets $A$, $B$ of $X$ we define the proximinal graph as a bipartite graph with parts $A$ and $B$ whose edges $\{a, b\}$ satisfy the equality $d(a, b) = \operatorname{dist}(A,…

Let $X$ be a finite, simple graph with vertex set $V(X)$. The $2$-distance graph $T_2(X)$ of $X$ is the graph with the same vertex set as $X$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in $X$ is exactly $2$. A graph $G$ is…

An $L$-matrix is a matrix whose off-diagonal entries belong to a set $L$, and whose diagonal is zero. Let $N(r,L)$ be the maximum size of a square $L$-matrix of rank at most $r$. Many applications of linear algebra in extremal combinatorics…
