We prove that a graph on up to 9 vertices is a unit-distance graph if and only if it does not contain one of 74 so-called minimal forbidden graphs. This extends the work of Chilakamarri and Mahoney (1995), who provide a similar…

We prove that there exists an infinite family of 4-regular 4-connected Hamiltonian graphs with a bounded number of Hamiltonian cycles. We do not know if there exists such a family of 5-regular 5-connected Hamiltonian graphs.

The Steiner distance of a graph, introduced by Chartrand, Oellermann, Tian and Zou in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the…

Let D be the distance matrix of a connected graph G and let nn(G), np(G) be the number of strictly negative and positive eigenvalues of D respectively. It was remarked in [1] that it is not known whether there is a graph for which np(G) >…

We describe the missing class of the hierarchy of mixed unit interval graphs, generated by the intersection graphs of closed, open and one type of half-open intervals of the real line. This class lies strictly between unit interval graphs…

In 2017, Qiao and Koolen showed that for any fixed integer $D\geq 3$, there are only finitely many such graphs with $\theta_{\min}\leq -\alpha k$, where $0<\alpha<1$ is any fixed number. In this paper, we will study non-bipartite…

It is shown that if a planar graph admits no non-constant bounded harmonic functions then the trajectories of two independent simple random walks intersect almost surely.

In 2008, Vallentin made a conjecture involving the least distortion of an embedding of a distance-regular graph into Euclidean space. Vallentin's conjecture implies that for a least distortion Euclidean embedding of a distance-regular graph…

We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…

We show that for any $\Delta \geq 3$, there is no bound computable from $(\varepsilon, r)$ on the size of a graph required to approximate a graph of maximum degree at most $\Delta$ up to $\varepsilon$ error in $r$-neighborhood statistics.…

The random intersection graph model $\mathcal G(n,m,p)$ is considered. Due to substantial edge dependencies, studying even fundamental statistics such as the subgraph count is significantly more challenging than in the classical binomial…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. The resistance distance $R_G(x,y)$ between two vertices $x,y$ of $G$ is defined to be the effective resistance between the two vertices in the corresponding…

We consider the family of graphs whose vertex set is $\mathbb{Z}^n$ where two vertices are connected by an edge when their $\ell_\infty$-distance is 1. Towards an edge isoperimetric inequality for this graph, we calculate the edge boundary…

In this paper, we show that for given positive integer C, there are only finitely many distance-regular graphs with valency k at least three, diameter D at least six and k2/k<=C. This extends a conjecture of Bannai and Ito.

For any graph $G = (V,E)$ and positive integer $d$, the exact distance-$d$ graph $G_{=d}$ is the graph with vertex set $V$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance between them in $G$ is $d$. We study the exact…

A {\it vertex-ordered} graph is a graph equipped with a linear ordering of its vertices. A pair of independent edges in an ordered graph can exhibit one of the following three patterns: separated, nested or crossing. We say a pair of…

When all non-edge distances of a graph realized in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ as a {\em bar-and-joint framework} are generically {\em implied} by the bar (edge) lengths, the graph is said to be {\em rigid} in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. For $d=3$,…
