Quasi-isometry is a measure of how similar two graphs are at `large-scale'. Nguyen, Scott, and Seymour [arXiv:2501.09839] and Hickingbotham [arXiv:2501.10840] independently gave a characterisation of graphs quasi-isometric to graphs of…

A bipartite graph is chordal bipartite if every cycle of length at least 6 has a chord in it. In this paper, we investigate the structure of $P_5$-free chordal bipartite graphs and show that these graphs have a Nested Neighborhood Ordering,…

A linear-interval order is the intersection of a linear order and an interval order. For this class of orders, several structural results have been known. This paper introduces a new subclass of linear-interval orders. We call a partial…

The boxicity of a graph G is defined as the minimum integer k such that G is an intersection graph of axis-parallel k-dimensional boxes. Chordal bipartite graphs are bipartite graphs that do not contain an induced cycle of length greater…

The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum size of a set of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by the distances to the vertices of that set. Our aim is to upper-bound the order $n$ of a graph in terms of its diameter…

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 completely characterize the digraphs of order $n$ whose $m$-step competition graphs are star graphs for positive integers $2\leq m < n$. This result in matrix version identifies the solution set to the matrix equation…

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring developed recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. In this paper we introduce and study the fractional DP-chromatic number $\chi_{DP}^\ast(G)$. We…

We prove the following result: If $G$ be a connected graph on $n \ge 6$ vertices, then there exists a set of vertices $D$ with $|D| \le \frac{n}{3}$ and such that $V(G) \setminus N[D]$ is an independent set, where $N[D]$ is the closed…

For a partially ordered set $(A, \le)$, let $G_A$ be the simple, undirected graph with vertex set $A$ such that two vertices $a \neq b\in A$ are adjacent if either $a \le b$ or $b \le a$. We call $G_A$ the \emph{partial order graph} or…

For some $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha \le 1$, a subset $X$ of vertices in a graph $G$ of order~$n$ is an $\alpha$-partial dominating set of $G$ if the set $X$ dominates at least $\alpha \times n$ vertices in $G$. The $\alpha$-partial…

The chordal ring (CR) graphs are a well-known family of graphs used to model some interconnection networks for computer systems in which all nodes are in a cycle. Generalizing the CR graphs, in this paper, we introduce the families of…

A graph is chordal if every cycle of length at least four contains a chord, that is, an edge connecting two nonconsecutive vertices of the cycle. Several classical applications in sparse linear systems, database management, computer vision,…

The toughness of a graph $G$ is defined as the largest real number $t$ such that for any set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected, $S$ has at least $t$ times more elements than $G-S$ has components (unless $G$ is complete, in…

A directed graph $D$ is semicomplete if for every pair $x,y$ of vertices of $D,$ there is at least one arc between $x$ and $y.$ \viol{Thus, a tournament is a semicomplete digraph.} In the Directed Component Order Connectivity (DCOC)…

The metric dimension has been introduced independently by Harary, Melter and Slater in 1975 to identify vertices of a graph G using its distances to a subset of vertices of G. A resolving set X of a graph G is a subset of vertices such…

An oriented graph $D$ is converse invariant if, for any tournament $T$, the number of copies of $D$ in $T$ is equal to that of its converse $-D$. El Sahili and Ghazo Hanna [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023), 684-701] showed that any oriented graph…
