Gao and Richter (1994) showed that every $3$-connected graph which embeds on the plane or the projective plane has a spanning closed walk meeting each vertex at most $2$ times. Brunet, Ellingham, Gao, Metzlar, and Richter (1995) extended…
Each vertex of an arbitrary simple graph on $n$ vertices chooses $k$ random incident edges. What is the expected number of edges in the original graph that connect different connected components of the sampled subgraph? We prove that the…
We study growth properties of the number of paths of lenght k for a variant of Cameo graphs introduced in an earlier paper. Sharp results are obtained for threshold for the k-path connectivity and the essential diameter.
We introduce the concept of Most, and Least, Compact Spanning Trees - denoted respectively by $T^*(G)$ and $T^\#(G)$ - of a simple, connected, undirected and unweighted graph $G(V, E, W)$. For a spanning tree $T(G) \in \mathcal{T}(G)$ to be…
The spectral properties of traditional (dyadic) graphs, where an edge connects exactly two vertices, are widely studied in different applications. These spectral properties are closely connected to the structural properties of dyadic…
A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…
The simple graphs $G=(V,E)$ that satisfy $|E'|\leq 2|V'|-l$ for any subgraph (and for $l=1,2,3$) are the $(2,l)$-sparse graphs. Those that also satisfy $|E|=2|V|-l$ are the $(2,l)$-tight graphs. These can be characterised by their…
Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…
Thin spanning trees lie at the intersection of graph theory, approximation algorithms, and combinatorial optimization. They are central to the long-standing \emph{thin tree conjecture}, which asks whether every $k$-edge-connected graph…
Let $\delta$ and $\Delta$ be the minimum and the maximum degree of the vertices of a simple connected graph $G$, respectively. The distinguishing index of a graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of…
We study the growth of random networks under a constraint that the diameter, defined as the average shortest path length between all nodes, remains approximately constant. We show that if the graph maintains the form of its degree…
The edge-length ratio of a straight-line drawing of a graph is the ratio between the lengths of the longest and of the shortest edge in the drawing. The planar edge-length ratio of a planar graph is the minimum edge-length ratio of any…
The main purpose of the paper is to develop an approach to evaluation or estimation of the spanning tree congestion of planar graphs. This approach is used to evaluate the spanning tree congestion of triangular grids.
Optical properties of graphene are explored by using the generalized tight-binding model. The main features of spectral structures, the form, frequency, number and intensity, are greatly enriched by the complex relationship among the…
Trilayer graphene with a twisted middle layer has recently emerged as a new platform exhibiting correlated phases and superconductivity near its magic angle. A detailed characterization of its electronic structure in the parameter space of…
The tau constant is an important invariant of a metrized graph, and it has applications in arithmetic properties of curves. We show how the tau constant of a metrized graph changes under successive edge contractions and deletions. We…
In 1982, Tuza conjectured that the size $\tau(G)$ of a minimum set of edges that intersects every triangle of a graph $G$ is at most twice the size $\nu(G)$ of a maximum set of edge-disjoint triangles of $G$. This conjecture was proved for…
The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper we study convex graph invariants, which are graph invariants…
We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…
The (maximum receiver-centric) interference of a geometric graph (von Rickenbach etal (2005)) is studied. It is shown that, with high probability, the following results hold for a set, V, of n points independently and uniformly distributed…
