We introduce the concept of link-irregular labelings for graphs, extending the notion of link-irregular graphs through edge labeling with positive integers. A labeling is link-irregular if every vertex has a uniquely labeled subgraph…
A forcing set for a perfect matching of a graph is defined as a subset of the edges of that perfect matching such that there exists a unique perfect matching containing it. A complete forcing set for a graph is a subset of its edges, such…
A graph is NIC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share at most one common end vertex. NIC-planarity generalizes IC-planarity, which allows a vertex to be…
We introduce a new graph-theoretic concept in the area of network monitoring. A set $M$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{distance-edge-monitoring set} if for every edge $e$ of $G$, there is a vertex $x$ of $M$ and a vertex $y$ of $G$…
The isolation number of a graph $G$ (also called the vertex-edge domination number of $G$), denoted by $\iota(G)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ of $G$ such that $G-N[D]$ (the graph obtained by deleting the…
We consider the problems of finding optimal identifying codes, (open) locating-dominating sets and resolving sets of an interval or a permutation graph. In these problems, one asks to find a subset of vertices, normally called a…
A split graph is a graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and an independent set. A connected graph $G$ is said to be $t$-admissible if admits a spanning tree in which the distance between any two adjacent vertices of $G$…
For an edge-colored graph $G$, a set $F$ of edges of $G$ is called a \emph{proper cut} if $F$ is an edge-cut of $G$ and any pair of adjacent edges in $F$ are assigned by different colors. An edge-colored graph is \emph{proper disconnected}…
An isolating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that removing $S$ and its neighborhood leaves no edge. The isolation number $\iota(G)$ of $G$ (also known as the vertex-edge domination number) is the minimum size among all…
Given a connected graph $G$, the metric (resp. edge metric) dimension of $G$ is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely identifies every pair of distinct vertices (resp. edges) of $G$ by means of distance…
A $(1,\le \ell)$-identifying code in a digraph $D$ is a subset $C$ of vertices of $D$ such that all distinct subsets of vertices of cardinality at most $\ell$ have different closed in-neighborhoods within $C$. In this paper, we give some…
We consider the problem of computing identifying codes of graphs and its fractional relaxation. The ratio between the size of optimal integer and fractional solutions is between 1 and 2 ln(|V|)+1 where V is the set of vertices of the graph.…
An equivalence graph is a disjoint union of cliques, and the equivalence number $\mathit{eq}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of equivalence subgraphs needed to cover the edges of $G$. We consider the equivalence number of a line…
A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is isolating if the set of vertices not in $D$ or with no neighbor in $D$ is independent. The isolation number of $G$, denoted by $\iota (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of an isolating set of $G$. It is…
We consider linear network error correction (LNEC) coding when errors may occur on edges of a communication network of which the topology is known. In this paper, we first revisit and explore the framework of LNEC coding, and then unify two…
An identifying code in a graph $G$ is a dominating set $C$ such that the closed neighborhood of each vertex in $G$ has a distinct intersection with $C$. In 2008, Gravier et al. determined the minimum cardinality of an identifying code of…
A coloring is distinguishing (or symmetry breaking) if no non-identity automorphism preserves it. The distinguishing threshold of a graph $G$, denoted by $\theta(G)$, is the minimum number of colors $k$ so that every $k$-coloring of $G$ is…
Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel (1977) used the linear programming method in order to find bounds for the size of spherical codes endowed with prescribed inner products between distinct points in the code. In this paper, we develop the…
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show the surprising fact that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. A graph is 1-planar if it has a drawing where every…
A good edge-labeling of a graph [Ara\'ujo, Cohen, Giroire, Havet, Discrete Appl. Math., forthcoming] is an assignment of numbers to the edges such that for no pair of vertices, there exist two non-decreasing paths. In this paper, we study…
