In this note we consider the bent linear 2-tree and provide an explicit formula for the resistance distance $r_{G_n}(1,n)$ between the first and last vertices of the graph. We call the graph $G_n$ with vertex set $V(G_n) = \{ 1, 2, \ldots,…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, we denote by $$S_k(D(G))=\lambda_1(D(G))+\cdots+\lambda_k(D(G))$$ the sum of $k$ largest distance eigenvalues of $G$. In this paper, we consider the sharp upper bound and…

When each vertex is assigned a set, the intersection graph generated by the sets is the graph in which two distinct vertices are joined by an edge if and only if their assigned sets have a nonempty intersection. An interval graph is an…

The proximity $\pi = \pi (G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum, over all vertices, of the average distance from a vertex to all others. Similarly, the maximum is called the remoteness and denoted by $\rho = \rho (G)$. The concepts of…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, connected graph. We consider a greedy selection of vertices: given a list of vertices $x_1, \dots, x_k$, take $x_{k+1}$ to be any vertex maximizing the sum of distances to the existing vertices and iterate: we…

Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs and let $f \colon V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ be a function. The Sierpi\'{n}ski product of $G$ and $H$ with respect to $f$, denoted by $G \otimes _f H$, is defined as the graph on the vertex set $V(G)\times V(H)$,…

For $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, positive integer $n$, and $d > 0$, let $G(S^n, d)$ be the graph whose vertex set is $S^n$ where any two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are Euclidean distance $d$ apart. The primary question we will…

We propose a new graph metric and study its properties. In contrast to the standard distance in connected graphs, it takes into account all paths between vertices. Formally, it is defined as d(i,j)=q_{ii}+q_{jj}-q_{ij}-q_{ji}, where q_{ij}…

We study the problem of computing the diameter and the mean distance of a continuous graph, i.e., a connected graph where all points along the edges, instead of only the vertices, must be taken into account. It is known that for continuous…

A connected graph $G$ of diameter ${\rm diam}(G) \ge \ell$ is $\ell$-distance-balanced if $|W_{xy}|=|W_{yx}|$ for every $x,y\in V(G)$ with $d_{G}(x,y)=\ell$, where $W_{xy}$ is the set of vertices of $G$ that are closer to $x$ than to $y$.…

Graham and Pollak showed that the determinant of the distance matrix of a tree $T$ depends only on the number of vertices of $T$. Graphical distance, a function of pairs of vertices, can be generalized to ``Steiner distance'' of sets $S$ of…
