For any finite set $\A$ of $n$ points in $\R^2$, we define a $(3n-3)$-dimensional simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of ``non-crossing marked graphs'' with vertex set $\A$, where a marked graph is defined as a…
The work provides a brief intuitive overview theory of graph on surfaces. We considers graphs with an additional structure, wich we call discs with ribbons, also known as one-vertex ribbon graphs. And solves the problem (Skopenkov's) about…
An obstacle representation of a graph G is a set of points on the plane together with a set of polygonal obstacles that determine a visibility graph isomorphic to G. The obstacle number of G is the minimum number of obstacles over all…
We investigate graphs that have characteristic-dependent well-covered dimension and show how more of these graphs can be constructed from known ones.
We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…
In this paper we show that it can be decided in polynomial time whether or not the visibility graph of a given point set is 4-colourable, and such a 4-colouring, if it exists, can also be constructed in polynomial time. We show that the…
Extending the work of Godsil and others, we investigate the notion of the inverse of a graph (specifically, of bipartite graphs with a unique perfect matching). We provide a concise necessary and sufficient condition for the invertibility…
Conditions are presented for different types of identifiability of discrete variable models generated over an undirected graph in which one node represents a binary hidden variable. These models can be seen as extensions of the latent class…
We give the first specific conjectures on how frequently graphs satisfy sufficient conditions for being uniquely characterized by spectral information. These conjectures arise from a theoretical framework that we developed based on…
A graph is square-complementary (squco, for short) if its square and complement are isomorphic. We prove that there are no squco graphs with girth 6, that every bipartite graph is an induced subgraph of a squco bipartite graph, that the…
In this paper, we provide a characterization of uniquely representable two-directional orthogonal ray graphs, which are defined as the intersection graphs of rightward and downward rays. The collection of these rays is called a…
A half-square of a bipartite graph $B=(X,Y,E_B)$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. If $G=(V,E_G)$ is the half-square of a planar bipartite graph…
Mirror graphs were introduced by Bre\v{s}ar et al. in 2004 as an intriguing class of graphs: vertex-transitive, isometrically embeddable into hypercubes, having a strong connection with regular maps and polytope structure. In this article…
We consider the problem of determining if a pair of undirected graphs $\langle G_\mathsf{V}, G_\mathsf{H} \rangle$, which share the same vertex set, has a representation using opaque geometric shapes for vertices, and vertical/horizontal…
Density matrices of graphs are combinatorial laplacians normalized to have trace one (Braunstein \emph{et al.} \emph{Phys. Rev. A,} \textbf{73}:1, 012320 (2006)). If the vertices of a graph are arranged as an array, then its density matrix…
Let $D$ be a digraph on $p\geq 5$ vertices with minimum degree at least $p-1$ and with minimum semi-degree at least $p/2-1$. For $D$ (unless some extremal cases) we present a detailed proof of the following results [12]: (i) $D$ contains…
We study combinatorial configurations with the associated point and line graphs being strongly regular. Examples not belonging to known classes such as partial geometries and their generalizations or elliptic semiplanes are constructed.…
We investigate properties which ensure that a given finite graph is the commuting graph of a group or semigroup. We show that all graphs on at least two vertices such that no vertex is adjacent to all other vertices is the commuting graph…
In this paper, we generalize the notions of perfect matchings, perfect 2-matchings to perfect k-matchings and give a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of perfect k-matchings. For bipartite graphs, we show that this k-matching…
We determine which properties of 2-layer drawings characterise bipartite graphs of bounded pathwidth.
