For a graph $G$ and $E \subseteq E(G)$, $E$-restricted strong trace is a closed walk which traverses every edge from $E$ once in each direction and every other edge twice in the same direction. In addition, every time a strong trace come to…
A graph is \textit{rigid} if it only admits the identity endomorphism. We show that for every $d\ge 3$ there exist infinitely many mutually rigid $d$-regular graphs of arbitrary odd girth $g\geq 7$. Moreover, we determine the minimum order…
We introduce a novel approach named the {\it induced-subgraph approach} for investigating the Betti numbers of normal edge rings. Utilizing this approach, we compute all the multi-graded Betti numbers of the edge rings associated with…
Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph on $n$ vertices with no loops but possibly multiedges. Given an arithmetical structure $(\textbf{r}, \textbf{d})$ on $G$, we describe a construction which associates to it a graph $G'$ on $n-1$…
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…
The graph reconstruction conjecture states that all graphs on at least three vertices are determined up to isomorphism by their deck. In this paper, a general framework for this problem is proposed to simply explain the reconstruction of…
In this article we investigate the structure of uniformly $k$-connected and uniformly $k$-edge-connected graphs. Whereas both types have previously been studied independent of each other, we analyze relations between these two classes. We…
We prove almost tight bounds on the length of paths in $2$-edge-connected cubic graphs. Concretely, we show that (i) every $2$-edge-connected cubic graph of size $n$ has a path of length $\Omega\left(\frac{\log^2{n}}{\log{\log{n}}}\right)$,…
The Rado graph, also known as the random graph $G(\infty, p)$, is a classical limit object for finite graphs. We study natural ball walks as a way of understanding the geometry of this graph. For the walk started at $i$, we show that order…
In this paper, we identify two fractals if and only if they are biLipschitz equivalent. Fix ratio $r,$ for dust-like graph-directed sets with ratio $r$ and integer characteristics, we show that they are rigid in the sense that they are…
We establish tight bi-Lipschitz bounds certifying quasi-universality (universality up to a constant factor) for various distances between Reeb graphs: the interleaving distance, the functional distortion distance, and the functional…
We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation process (with parameter $p$) on infinite graphs and we give a general criterion for bounded degree graphs to exhibit a non-trivial percolation threshold based either on a single isoperimetric…
A $d$-dimensional (bar-and-joint) framework $(G,p)$ consists of a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a realisation $p:V\to \mathbb{R}^d$. It is rigid if every continuous motion of the vertices which preserves the lengths of the edges is induced by an…
We explore pseudometrics for directed graphs in order to better understand their topological properties. The directed flag complex associated to a directed graph provides a useful bridge between network science and topology. Indeed, it has…
We consider Stanley--Reisner rings $k[x_1,...,x_n]/I(\mc{H})$ where $I(\mc{H})$ is the edge ideal associated to some particular classes of hypergraphs. For instance, we consider hypergraphs that are natural generalizations of graphs that…
The thickness $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of planar spanning subgraphs into which the graph $G$ can be decomposed. As a topological invariant of a graph, it is a measurement of the closeness to planarity of a graph, and…
The bondage number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a minimum edge set whose removal from $G$ results in a graph with the domination number greater than that of $G$. It is a parameter to measure the vulnerability of a…
In this paper we propose and study a new structural invariant for graphs, called distance-unbalanced\-ness, as a measure of how much a graph is (un)balanced in terms of distances. Explicit formulas are presented for several classes of…
One of the major results of [N. Robertson and P. D. Seymour. Graph minors. XIII. The disjoint paths problem. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 63(1):65--110, 1995], also known as the weak structure theorem, revealed the local structure of graphs…
The graphical notion of effective resistance has found wide-ranging applications in many areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and control theory. By the nature of its construction, effective resistance can only be computed in…
