Let P be a set of n > 2 points in general position in the plane and let G be a geometric graph with vertex set P. If the number of empty triangles uvw in P for which the subgraph of G induced by {u,v,w} is not connected is at most n-3, then…

We study the problem of how well a tree metric is able to preserve the sum of pairwise distances of an arbitrary metric. This problem is closely related to low-stretch metric embeddings and is interesting by its own flavor from the line of…

In this paper, we study some spanning trees with bounded degree and leaf degree from eigenvalues. For any integer $k\geq2$, a $k$-tree is a spanning tree in which every vertex has degree no more than $k$. Let $T$ be a spanning tree of a…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. In this paper we characterize all trees with radius at most three…

Let $T$ be a distinguished subset of vertices in a graph $G$. A $T$-\emph{Steiner tree} is a subgraph of $G$ that is a tree and that spans $T$. Kriesell conjectured that $G$ contains $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint $T$-Steiner trees provided…

Let $k\ge 2$ be an integer and $T_1,\ldots, T_k$ be spanning trees of a graph $G$. If for any pair of vertices $(u,v)$ of $V(G)$, the paths from $u$ to $v$ in each $T_i$, $1\le i\le k$, do not contain common edges and common vertices,…

Given a graph $G$ then a subgraph $H$ is $isometric$ if, for every pair of vertices $u,v$ of $H$, we have $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$. We say a graph $G$ is $distance\ preserving\ (dp)$ if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order up…

We prove that any graph $G$ with $n$ points has a distribution $\mathcal{T}$ over spanning trees such that for any edge $(u,v)$ the expected stretch $E_{T \sim \mathcal{T}}[d_T(u,v)/d_G(u,v)]$ is bounded by $\tilde{O}(\log n)$. Our result…

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…

We study the problem of distance-preserving graph compression for weighted paths and trees. The problem entails a weighted graph $G = (V, E)$ with non-negative weights, and a subset of edges $E^{\prime} \subset E$ which needs to be removed…

We show that the spanning tree degree enumerator polynomial of a connected graph $G$ is a real stable polynomial if and only if $G$ is distance-hereditary.

A vertex of degree one in a tree is called an end vertex and a vertex of degree at least three is called a branch vertex. For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_2$ be the minimum degree sum of two nonadjacent vertices in $G$. We consider tree…

We prove the following sharp estimate for the number of spanning trees of a graph in terms of its vertex-degrees: a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices has at most $(1/n^{2}) \prod_{v \in V(G)} (d(v)+1)$ spanning trees. This result is tight…

In this note we consider the bent linear 2-tree and provide an explicit formula for the resistance distance $r_{G_n}(1,n)$ between the first and last vertices of the graph. We call the graph $G_n$ with vertex set $V(G_n) = \{ 1, 2, \ldots,…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

Let G be a simple, connected graph on n vertices. Let d_G(u,v) denote the distance between vertices u and v in G. A subgraph H of G is isometric if d_H(u,v)=d_G(u,v) for every u,v in V(H). We say that G is a distance-preserving graph if G…

For $d\ge 2$ and an odd prime power $q$, consider the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the distance between two points $(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ and $(y_1,\ldots,y_d)$ is defined as $\sum_{i=1}^d…

Let $T$ be a tree, a vertex of degree one is a leaf of $T$ and a vertex of degree at least three is a branch vertex of $T$. For two distinct vertices $u,v$ of $T$, let $P_T[u,v]$ denote the unique path in $T$ connecting $u$ and $v.$ For a…

In this paper, we consider circulant graphs obtained from the complete graph $K_N$ by deleting all edges belonging to a prescribed distance class. We study, in a unified manner, the effective resistance, the expected hitting time, the…

A tree with at most k leaves is called k-ended tree, and a tree with exactly k leaves is called k-end tree, where a leaf is a vertex of degree one. Contraction of a graph G along the edge e means deleting the edge e and identifying its end…
