The metric dimension, $\dim(G)$, of a graph $G$ is a graph parameter motivated by robot navigation that has been studied extensively. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(x,y)$ denote the length of a shortest $x-y$ path in…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored connected graph. A path $P$ in $G$ is called a distance $\ell$-proper path if no two edges of the same color appear with fewer than $\ell$ edges in between on $P$. The graph $G$ is called $(k,\ell)$-proper…

We extend known results on chordal graphs and distance-hereditary graphs to much larger graph classes by using only a common metric property of these graphs. Specifically, a graph is called $\alpha_i$-metric ($i\in \mathcal{N}$) if it…

Let $\mathcal{B}(n,q)$ be the class of block graphs on $n$ vertices having all their blocks of the same size. We prove that if $G\in \mathcal{B}(n,q)$ has at most three pairwise adjacent cut vertices then the minimum spectral radius…

A set of vertices $S$ \emph{resolves} a connected graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The \emph{metric dimension} of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$.…

The min-diameter of a directed graph $G$ is a measure of the largest distance between nodes. It is equal to the maximum min-distance $d_{min}(u,v)$ across all pairs $u,v \in V(G)$, where $d_{min}(u,v) = \min(d(u,v), d(v,u))$. Our work…

The metric dimension of a graph $G$ is defined as the minimum number of vertices in a subset $S\subset V(G)$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $S$, and is denoted by $\dim(G)$. In…

We establish relations between the bandwidth and the treewidth of bounded degree graphs G, and relate these parameters to the size of a separator of G as well as the size of an expanding subgraph of G. Our results imply that if one of these…

A $k$-dimensional box is the cartesian product $R_1 \times R_2 \times ... \times R_k$ where each $R_i$ is a closed interval on the real line. The {\it boxicity} of a graph $G$, denoted as $box(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$…

A two-dimensional grid consists of vertices of the form (i,j) for 1 \leq i \leq m and 1 \leq j \leq n, for fixed m,n > 1. Two vertices are adjacent if the \ell_1 distance between their vectors is equal to 1. A landmark set is a subset of…
