A set $S\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a dominating set if each vertex has a neighbor in $S$ or belongs to $S$. Dominating Set is the problem of deciding, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, if $G$ has a dominating set of size…
The concept of rainbow connection number of a graph was introduced by Chartrand et al. in 2008. Inspired by this concept, other concepts on colored version of connectivity in graphs were introduced, such as the monochromatic connection…
A resolving set in a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $W= \{\omega^1, \dots, \omega^n\} \subseteq V(G)$ such that each $u \in V(G)$ can be uniquely identified by the vector $r(u \vert W) = (d(u,\omega^1), \dots, d(u,\omega^n))$ of metric…
We study the eternal dominating number and the m-eternal dominating number on digraphs. We generalize known results on graphs to digraphs. We also consider the problem "oriented (m-)eternal domination", consisting in finding an orientation…
The complexity class NP of decision problems that can be solved nondeterministically in polynomial time is of great theoretical and practical importance where the notion of polynomial-time reductions between NP-problems is a key concept for…
Inspired by the increasingly popular research on extending partial graph drawings, we propose a new perspective on the traditional and arguably most important geometric graph parameter, the crossing number. Specifically, we define the…
In this paper, we study definable variants of the notion of the distinguishing number of a graph in descriptive set theoretic setting. We introduce the notion of the Borel distinguishing number of a Borel graph and provide examples that…
In this paper, we discuss automorphism related parameters of a graph associated to a finite vector space. The fixing neighborhood of a pair $(u,v)$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is the set of all those vertices $w$ of $G$, such that the orbits…
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of crossings over all drawings of the graph in the plane. Computing the crossing number of a given graph is NP-hard, but fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) with respect to the natural…
Consider a random geometric graph over a random point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two points are connected by an edge if and only if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. We show that projecting the graph onto a two…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph and let $d(u,v)$ denote the distance between vertices $u,v \in V$. A metric basis for $G$ is a set $B\subseteq V$ of minimum cardinality such that no two vertices of $G$ have the same distances to all…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. Given an ordered set $W = \{w_1, w_2,\dots w_k\}\subseteq V(G)$ and a vertex $u\in V(G)$, the representation of $u$ with respect to $W$ is the ordered $k$-tuple $(d(u,w_1), d(u,w_2),\dots,$ $d(u,w_k))$, where…
Frei et al. [6] showed that the problem to decide whether a graph is stable with respect to some graph parameter under adding or removing either edges or vertices is $\Theta_2^{\text{P}}$-complete. They studied the common graph parameters…
Graphs with bounded thinness were defined in 2007 as a generalization of interval graphs. In this paper we introduce the concept of proper thinness, such that graphs with bounded proper thinness generalize proper interval graphs. We study…
A graph G on n vertices is said to be extendable if G can be modified to form a new graph H on more than n vertices, while preserving the degrees of the vertices common to G and H. The added vertices all have the same degree and we define…
Determining the number of (complex) realisations of a rigid graph for a specific choice of edge lengths is a fundamental problem in discrete geometry. In this article we provide two new tools for determining realisation numbers in arbitrary…
We introduce a broad class of equations that are described by a graph, which includes many well-studied systems. For these, we show that the number of solutions (or the dimension of the solution set) can be bounded by studying certain…
Highly-regular graphs can be regarded as a combinatorial generalization of distance-regular graphs. From this standpoint, we study combinatorial aspects of highly-regular graphs. As a result, we give the following three main results in this…
A distinguishing coloring of a graph is a vertex coloring such that only the identity automorphism of the graph preserves the coloring. A 2-distinguishable graph is a graph which can be distinguished using 2 colors. The cost $\rho(G)$ of a…
A set of vertices $S$ is a \emph{determining set} of a graph $G$ if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $S$. The \emph{determining number} of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a determining set of $G$. This…
