In this paper, we introduce a generalized concept of vertex transitivity in graphs called generalized vertex transitivity. We put forward a new invariant called transitivity number of a graph. The value of this invariant in different…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $S \subseteq V$ is a $[1,2]$-set if it is a dominating set for $G$ and each vertex $v \in V \setminus S$ is dominated by at most two vertices of $S$, i.e. $1 \leq \vert N(v) \cap S \vert \leq 2$. Moreover a set…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset $S$ is called a maximum generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ does not contain a $k$-tree as its subgraph, and the subset has maximum cardinality. The generalized $k$-independence…

Graph LP algebras are a generalization of cluster algebras introduced by Lam and Pylyavskyy. We provide a combinatorial proof of positivity for certain cluster variables in these algebras. This proof uses a hypergraph generalization of…

This survey gives an overview of three central algebraic themes related to the study of splines: duality, group actions, and homology. Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a prescribed order of smoothness on some subdivided domain…

We consider the complexity of the recognition problem for two families of combinatorial structures. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be an intersection graph of lines in space if every $v\in V$ can be mapped to a straight line $\ell (v)$ in…

Given a graph $G$, the (graph theory) general position problem is to find the maximum number of vertices such that no three vertices lie on a common geodesic. This graph invariant is called the general position number (gp-number for short)…

A generalized vertex join of a graph is obtained by joining an arbitrary multiset of its vertices to a new vertex. We present a low-order polynomial time algorithm for finding the chromatic polynomials of generalized vertex joins of trees,…

A digraph $D=(V,A)$ of order $n\geq 3$ is pancyclic, whenever $D$ contains a directed cycle of length $k$ for each $k\in\{3,...,n\}$; and D is vertex-pancyclic iff, for each vertex $v\in V$ and each $k\in \{3,...,n\}$, $D$ contains a…

Let $G$ be a graph. Assume that to each vertex of a set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ a robot is assigned. At each stage one robot can move to a neighbouring vertex. Then $S$ is a mobile general position set of $G$ if there exists a…

A graph G is said to be M-integral (resp. A-integral, D-integral, DL-integral or DQ-integral) if all eigenvalues of its matrix M (resp. adjacency matrix A(G), distance matrix D(G), distance Laplacian matrix DL(G) or distance signless…

Splines come in a variety of flavors that can be characterized in terms of some differential operator L. The simplest piecewise-constant model corresponds to the derivative operator. Likewise, one can extend the traditional notion of total…

For a group $G$, we define a graph $\Delta(G)$ by letting $G^{\#} = G \setminus \{ 1 \}$ be the set of vertices and by drawing an edge between distinct elements $x,y\in G^{\#}$ if and only if the subgroup $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic.…

We introduce a new notion of generalized log twisted curves, which are marked nodal curves with additional data at the marked points. In the case when the markings are distinct this notion agrees with the notion of twisted curve introduced…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

A graph $G$ with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges is said to be edge-graceful if its edges can be labeled from $1$ through $q$, in such a way that the labels induced on the vertices by adding over the labels of incident edges modulo $p$ are…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a planar graph and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a partition of $V$. We refer to the graphs induced by the vertex sets in $\mathcal{C}$ as Clusters. Let $D_{\mathcal C}$ be an arrangement of disks with a bijection between the disks…
