Strongly chordal digraphs are included in the class of chordal digraphs and generalize strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. They are the digraphs that admit a linear ordering of its vertex set for which their adjacency…
In this partly expository paper we discuss and describe some of our old and recent results on partial orders on the set (m,n)-graphs (i.e. graphs with n vertices and m edges) and some operations on graphs that are monotone with respect to…
The competition number k(G) of a graph G is the smallest number k such that G together with k isolated vertices added is the competition graph of an acyclic digraph. A chordless cycle of length at least 4 of a graph is called a hole of the…
Let D be an acyclic digraph. The competition graph of D is a graph which has the same vertex set as D and has an edge between x and y if and only if there exists a vertex v in D such that (x,v) and (y,v) are arcs of D. For any graph G, G…
The competition graph of a doubly partial order is known to be an interval graph. The CCE graph and the niche graph of a doubly partial order are also known to be interval graphs if the graphs do not contain a cycle of length four and three…
Given an acyclic digraph $D$, the competition graph of $D$, denoted by $C(D)$, is the simple graph having vertex set $V(D)$ and edge set $\{uv \mid (u, w), (v, w) \in A(D) \text{ for some } w \in V(D) \}$. The phylogeny graph of an acyclic…
In this paper, we show how certain three-class association schemes and orthogonal arrays give rise to partial geometric designs. We also investigate the connections between partial geometric designs and certain regular graphs having three…
In this paper, we discover all the triangle-free graphs that are competition graphs of multipartite tournaments.
The notion of a competition graph was introduced by J. E. Cohen in 1968. The competition graph C(D) of a digraph D is a (simple undirected) graph which has the same vertex set as D and has an edge between two distinct vertices x and y if…
In this paper we introduce a new technique to analyze families of rankings focused on the study of structural properties of a new type of graphs. Given a finite number of elements and a family of rankings of those elements, we say that two…
The notion of p-competition graphs of digraphs was introduced by S-R. Kim, T. A. McKee, F. R. McMorris, and F. S. Roberts [p-competition graphs, Linear Algebra Appl., 217 (1995) 167--178] as a generalization of the competition graphs of…
If each vertex of an acyclic digraph has indegree at most $i$ and outdegree at most $j$, then it is called an $(i,j)$ digraph, which was introduced by Hefner~{\it et al.}~(1991). Whereas Hefner~{\it et al.} characterized $(i,j)$ digraphs…
Comparability graphs are a popular class of graphs. We introduce as the digraph analogue of comparability graphs the class of comparability digraphs. We show that many concepts such as implication classes and the knotting graph for a…
The competition graph of a digraph $D$ is a (simple undirected) graph which has the same vertex set as $D$ and has an edge between two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ if and only if there exists a vertex $v$ in $D$ such that $(x,v)$ and…
A graphic arrangement is a subarrangement of the braid arrangement whose set of hyperplanes is determined by an undirected graph. A classical result due to Stanley, Edelman and Reiner states that a graphic arrangement is free if and only if…
We describe polynomial time algorithms for determining whether an undirected graph may be embedded in a distance-preserving way into the hexagonal tiling of the plane, the diamond structure in three dimensions, or analogous structures in…
In the first part of this paper we determine the maximum size of a (finite, simple, connected) bipartite graph of given order, diameter $d$, and connectivity $\kappa$. It was shown by Ali, Mazorodze, Mukwembi and Vetr\'ik [On size, order,…
A random graph order is a partial order obtained from a random graph on $[n]$ by taking the transitive closure of the adjacency relation. The dimension of the random graph orders from random bipartite graphs $B(n,n,p)$ and from $G(n,p)$…
In [S. Arumugam, V. Mathew and J. Shen, On fractional metric dimension of graphs, preprint], Arumugam et al. studied the fractional metric dimension of the cartesian product of two graphs, and proposed four open problems. In this paper, we…
