It is shown that shift graphs can be realized as disjointness graphs of 1-intersecting curves in the plane. This implies that the latter class of graphs is not $\chi$-bounded.
Let $G$ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter $D\ge 3$, valency $k$, and intersection numbers $a_i$, $b_i$, $c_i$. By a {\it pseudo cosine sequence} of $G$ we mean a sequence of real numbers $s_0, s_1, ..., s_D$ such that $s_0=1$…
A graph class $\mathcal{G}$ admits product structure if there exists a constant $k$ such that every $G \in \mathcal{G}$ is a subgraph of $H \boxtimes P$ for a path $P$ and some graph $H$ of treewidth $k$. Famously, the class of planar…
In trying to generalize the classic Sylvester-Gallai theorem and De Bruijn-Erd\H{o}s theorem in plane geometry, lines and closure lines were previously defined for metric spaces and hypergraphs. Both definitions do not obey the geometric…
In this short note, we prove the following analog of the K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem for intersection graphs of boxes. If $G$ is the intersection graph of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ such that $G$ contains no copy of…
In this paper, we classify non-geometric distance-regular graphs of diameter at least $3$ with smallest eigenvalue at least $-3$. This is progress towards what is hoped to be an eventual complete classification of distance-regular graphs…
A nut graph is a simple graph for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry. It is known that infinitely many $d$-regular nut graphs exist for $3 \leq d \leq 12$…
Addressing a question posed by Chen and Ma from an asymptotic point of view, we present a short proof for the edge density needed to guarantee that two vertices of the same degree are connected by a path of a fixed length. In particular, we…
A nut graph is a nontrivial simple graph whose adjacency matrix has a simple eigenvalue zero such that the corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. It is known that the order $n$ and degree $d$ of a vertex-transitive nut graph satisfy…
We prove a geometric version of the graph separator theorem for the unit disk intersection graph: for any set of $n$ unit disks in the plane there exists a line $\ell$ such that $\ell$ intersects at most $O(\sqrt{(m+n)\log{n}})$ disks and…
This paper concerns $(r,c)$-constant graphs, which are $r$-regular graphs in which the subgraph induced by the open neighbourhood of every vertex has precisely $c$ edges. The family of $(r,c)$-graphs contains vertex-transitive graphs (and…
In this paper we will look at the relationship between the intersection number c2 and its diameter for a distance-regular graph. And also, we give some tools to show that a distance-regular graph with large c2 is bipartite, and a tool to…
Let $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements. Construct a graph, called the distance graph of $E$, by letting the vertices be the elements of $E$ and connect a pair of vertices…
Characterisations of interval graphs, comparability graphs, co-comparability graphs, permutation graphs, and split graphs in terms of linear orderings of the vertex set are presented. As an application, it is proved that interval graphs,…
The unit distance graph $G_{\mathbb{R}^d}^1$ is the infinite graph whose nodes are points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with an edge between two points if the Euclidean distance between these points is 1. The 2-dimensional version $G_{\mathbb{R}^2}^1$…
In this paper we consider the degree/diameter problem, namely, given natural numbers {\Delta} \geq 2 and D \geq 1, find the maximum number N({\Delta},D) of vertices in a graph of maximum degree {\Delta} and diameter D. In this context, the…
One-dimensional geometric random graphs are constructed by distributing $n$ nodes uniformly and independently on a unit interval and then assigning an undirected edge between any two nodes that have a distance at most $r_n$. These graphs…
In this article we proof the existence of 4-regular planar unit-distance graphs consisting only of unit triangles without additional triangles. It is shown that the smallest number of unit triangles is $\leq$6422.
The intersection graph of a family of sets $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ is a graph whose vertex set is $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if the intersection of the corresponding sets is non-empty.…
Distance-regular graphs are a class of regualr graphs with pretty combinatorial symmetry. In 2007, Miklavi\v{c} and Poto\v{c}nik proposed the problem of charaterizing distance-regular Cayley graphs, which can be viewed as a natural…
