We consider the problem of classifying those graphs that arise as an undirected square of an oriented graph by generalising the notion of quasi-transitive directed graphs to mixed graphs. We fully classify those graphs of maximum degree…
We describe a new random greedy algorithm for generating regular graphs of high girth: Let $k\geq 3$ and $c \in (0,1)$ be fixed. Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be even and set $g = c \log_{k-1} (n)$. Begin with a Hamilton cycle $G$ on $n$ vertices.…
The radius and diameter are fundamental graph parameters. They are defined as the minimum and maximum of the eccentricities in a graph, respectively, where the eccentricity of a vertex is the largest distance from the vertex to another…
It is known that the number of vertices of a graph of diameter two cannot exceed $d^2+1$. In this contribution we give a new lower bound for orders of Cayley graphs of diameter two in the form $C(d,2)>0.684d^2$ valid for all degrees $d\geq…
A constructive method is provided that outputs a directed graph which is named a broken crown graph, containing $5n-9$ vertices and $k$ Hamiltonian cycles for any choice of integers $n \geq k \geq 4$. The construction is not designed to be…
Given a simple undirected graph $G$, the maximum $k$-club problem is to find a maximum-cardinality subset of nodes inducing a subgraph of diameter at most $k$ in $G$. This NP-hard generalization of clique, originally introduced to model low…
We study directed random graphs (random graphs whose edges are directed) as they evolve in discrete time by the addition of nodes and edges. For two distinct evolution strategies, one that forces the graph to a condition of near acyclicity…
Abelian Cayley digraphs can be constructed by using a generalization to $Z^n$ of the concept of congruence in $Z$. Here we use this approach to present a family of such digraphs, which, for every fixed value of the degree, have…
In this paper, we construct directed strongly regular graphs with new parameters by using partial sum families with local rings. 16 families of new directed strongly regular graphs are obtained and the uniform partial sum families are…
In 2020, Cameron et al. introduced the restricted numerical range of a digraph (directed graph) as a tool for characterizing digraphs and studying their algebraic connectivity. In particular, digraphs with a restricted numerical range of a…
We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…
Let $C$ be the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We can view $C$ as a plane graph whose vertices are all the points on $C$, and the distance between any two points on $C$ is the length of the smaller arc between them. We consider a graph…
A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is 2 but the removal of any edge increases the diameter. A well-studied conjecture, known as the Murty-Simon conjecture, states that any diameter-2-critical graph of order n has at most…
Two methods, structural (constructive) and multiplier (analytical), of exact enumeration of undirected and directed circulant graphs of orders 27 and 125 are elaborated and represented in detail here together with intermediate and final…
For any fixed integer $R \geq 2$ we characterise the typical structure of undirected graphs with vertices $1, ..., n$ and maximum degree $R$, as $n$ tends to infinity. The information is used to prove that such graphs satisfy a labelled…
In this contribution we present a construction of large networks of diameter two and of order $\frac{1}{2}d^2$ for every degree $d\geq 8$, based on Cayley graphs with surprisingly simple underlying groups. For several small degrees we…
Constructions of directed configuration graphs based on a given bi-degree distribution were introduced in random graph theory some years ago. These constructions lead to graphs where the degrees of two nodes belonging to the same edge are…
For integers m,k >= 1, we investigate the maximum size of a directed cut in directed graphs in which there are m edges and each vertex has either indegree at most k or outdegree at most k.
We study a large family of graph covering problems, whose definitions rely on distances, for graphs of bounded cyclomatic number (that is, the minimum number of edges that need to be removed from the graph to destroy all cycles). These…
We give an efficient construction of a reasonably small dominating set in a circulant graph on $n$ notes and $k$ distinct chord lengths. This result is based on bounds on some double exponential sums. .
