We consider high-order connectivity in $k$-uniform hypergraphs defined as follows: Two $j$-sets are $j$-connected if there is a walk of edges between them such that two consecutive edges intersect in at least $j$ vertices. We describe the…

As data structures and mathematical objects used for complex systems modeling, hypergraphs sit nicely poised between on the one hand the world of network models, and on the other that of higher-order mathematical abstractions from algebra,…

Considering systems of separations in a graph that separate every pair of a given set of vertex sets that are themselves not separated by these separations, we determine conditions under which such a separation system contains a nested…

This paper presents a phenomenon which sometimes occurs in tetravalent bipartite locally dart-transitive graphs, called a Base Graph -- Connection Graph dissection. In this dissection, each white vertex is split into two vertices of valence…

For a graph $G$, $k(G)$ denotes its connectivity. A graph is super connected if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex. Also $k_{1}$-connectivity of a connected graph is the minimum number of vertices whose deletion gives a disconnected…

We define the crossing graph of a given embedded graph (such as a road network) to be a graph with a vertex for each edge of the embedding, with two crossing graph vertices adjacent when the corresponding two edges of the embedding cross…

In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…

The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…

B\'erczi, Chandrasekaran, Kir\'aly, and Kulkarni (ICALP 2024) recently described a splitting-off procedure in hypergraphs that preserves local-connectivity and outlined some applications. In this note we give an alternative proof via…

In this study, we explore the substructures of a hypergraph that lead us to linearly dependent rows (or columns) in the incidence matrix of the hypergraph. These substructures are closely related to the spectra of various hypergraph…

The pivotal quality of proximity graphs is connectivity, i.e. all nodes in the graph are connected to one another either directly or via intermediate nodes. These types of graphs are robust, i.e., they are able to function well even if they…

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…
