We revisit a classical paper about (even hole, triangle)-free graphs [Conforti, Cornu\'ejols, Kapoor and Vu\v skovi\'c, Triangle-free graphs that are signable without even holes, Journal of Graph Theory, 34(3), 204--220, 2000]. In fact, the…
The face pairing graph of a 3-manifold triangulation is a 4-valent graph denoting which tetrahedron faces are identified with which others. We present a series of properties that must be satisfied by the face pairing graph of a closed…
We give upper and lower bounds on the maximum and minimum number of geometric configurations of various kinds present (as subgraphs) in a triangulation of $n$ points in the plane. Configurations of interest include \emph{convex polygons},…
We discuss algebraic and homological properties of binomial edge ideals associated to graphs which are obtained by gluing of subgraphs and the formation of cones.
A topological graph is \emph{$k$-quasi-planar} if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A topological graph is \emph{simple} if every pair of its edges intersect at most once (either at a vertex or at their intersection). In…
In this article, we study algebraic properties of binomial edge ideals of Levi graphs associated with certain plane curve arrangements. Using combinatorial properties of Levi graphs, we discuss the Cohen-Macaulayness of binomial edge ideals…
The path ideal (of length t >=2) of a graph G is the monomial ideal, denoted I_t(G), whose generators correspond to the directed paths of length t in G. We study some of the algebraic properties of I_t(G) when G is a tree. We first show…
The Babylonian graph B has the positive integers as vertices and connects two if they define a Pythagorean triple. Triangular subgraphs correspond to Euler bricks. What are the properties of this graph? Are there tetrahedral subgraphs…
We introduce the concept of homogeneous numerical semigroups and show that all homogeneous numerical semigroups with Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones are of homogeneous type. In embedding dimension three, we classify all numerical semigroups of…
We characterize the vertices belonging to all minimum dominating sets, to some minimum dominating sets but not all, and to no minimum dominating set. We refine this characterization for some well studied sub-classes of graphs: chordal,…
Characterizing graphs by their spectra is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has attracted a lot of attention of researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard and challenging to show a given graph to be determined…
A numerical characterization is given of the so-called h-triangles of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result characterizes the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions in such a complex, generalizing the…
Motivated by problems involving triangle-decompositions of graphs, we examine the facet structure of the cone $\tau_n$ of weighted graphs on $n$ vertices generated by triangles. Our results include enumeration of facets for small $n$, a…
A k-outerplanar graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane without crossing such that after k-fold removal of the vertices on the outer-face there are no vertices left. In this paper, we study how to triangulate a k-outerplanar graph…
A characterization is given for directed graphs that yield graph $C^*$-algebras with continuous trace. This is established for row-finite graphs with no sources first using a groupoid approach, and extended to the general case via the…
We find the structure of graphs that have no $C_4$, $\overline{C}_4$, $C_5$, chair and co-chair as induced subgraphs.
Let $G$ be a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ the binomial edge ideal of $G$. Let $S$ denote the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $S/J_G$ is…
We characterize pure lexsegment complexes which are Cohen-Macaulay in arbitrary codimension. More precisely, we prove that any lexsegment complex is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is pure and its one dimensional links are connected, and,…
Honeycomb toroidal graphs are trivalent Cayley graphs on generalized dihedral groups. We examine the two historical threads leading to these graphs, some of the properties that have been established, and some open problems.
In this paper we study queen's graphs, which encode the moves by a queen on an $n\times m$ chess board, through the lens of chip-firing games. We prove that their gonality is equal to $nm$ minus the independence number of the graph, and…
