A path $P$ in an edge-colored graph $G$ is a \emph{proper path} if no two adjacent edges of $P$ are colored with the same color. The graph $G$ is \emph{proper connected} if, between every pair of vertices, there exists a proper path in $G$.…

Let $G$ be a graph, $r \geq t$ integers, and $N \subseteq E(G)$. An $(r,t)$-threshold-coloring of $G$ with respect to $N$ is a mapping $c: V(G) \rightarrow \{0,\ldots,r-1\}$ such that $|c(u)-c(v)| \leq t$ for every $uv \in N$ and…

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…

Let $S$ be a set of transpositions generating the symmetric group $S_n$. The transposition graph of $S$ is defined to be the graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, and with vertices $i$ and $j$ being adjacent in $T(S)$ whenever $(i,j) \in…

Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…

An odd graceful labeling of a graph G=(V,E) is a function f:V(G)->[0,1,2,...,2|E(G)|-1} such that |f(u)-f(v)| is odd value less than or equal to 2|E(G)-1| for any u, v in V(G). In spite of the large number of papers published on the subject…

We study graph classes modeled by families of non-crossing (NC) connected sets. Two classic graph classes in this context are disk graphs and proper interval graphs. We focus on the cases when the sets are paths and the host is a tree…

Property $(P)$, introduced in recent work and rooted in the classical theory of Parter vertices, concerns the existence of a nonsingular matrix $A\in S(G)$ for which every vertex of $G$ is a $P$-vertex. Previous investigations have fully…

A graph class $\mathcal{G}$ admits product structure if there exists a constant $k$ such that every $G \in \mathcal{G}$ is a subgraph of $H \boxtimes P$ for a path $P$ and some graph $H$ of treewidth $k$. Famously, the class of planar…

Let $\lpt(G)$ be the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices that intersects all longest paths in a graph $G$. Let $\omega(G)$ be the size of a maximum clique in $G$, and $\tw(G)$ be the treewidth of $G$. We prove that $ \lpt(G) \leq…

We prove that if T is a tree on n vertices wih maximum degree D and the edge probability p(n) satisfies: np>c*max{D*logn,n^{\epsilon}} for some constant \epsilon>0, then with high probability the random graph G(n,p) contains a copy of T.…

Jamison and Sprague defined a graph $G$ to be a $k$-threshold graph with thresholds $\theta_1 , \ldots, \theta_k$ (strictly increasing) if one can assign real numbers $(r_v)_{v \in V(G)}$, called ranks, such that for every pair of vertices…

A {\em $(d,h)$-decomposition} of a graph $G$ is an order pair $(D,H)$ such that $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ where $H$ has the maximum degree at most $h$ and $D$ is an acyclic orientation of $G-E(H)$ of maximum out-degree at most $d$. A graph…

A {\it tiered graph} $G=(V,E)$ with $m $ tiers is a simple graph with $V\subseteq \brk{n}$, where $\brk{n}=\{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, and with a surjective map $t$ from $V$ to $\brk{m}$ such that if $v$ is a vertex adjacent to $v'$ in $G$ with…

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the notions of geometric and sequential convexity within a graph-theoretic framework, with the aim of examining various structural properties and exploring the connection between these…

For a given graph consider a pair of disjoint matchings the union of which contains as many edges as possible. Furthermore, consider the relation of the cardinalities of a maximum matching and the largest matching in those pairs. It is…

Let ${\cal G}=(G,w)$ be a weighted simple finite connected graph, that is, let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph endowed with a function $w$ from the set of the edges of $G$ to the set of real numbers. For any subgraph $G'$ of $G$, we…

A communication network can be modeled as a directed connected graph with edge weights that characterize performance metrics such as loss and delay. Network tomography aims to infer these edge weights from their pathwise versions measured…

An {\it overlap representation} of a graph $G$ assigns sets to vertices so that vertices are adjacent if and only if their assigned sets intersect with neither containing the other. The {\it overlap number} $\ol(G)$ (introduced by Rosgen)…
