A vertex $v\in V(G)$ is said to distinguish two vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ of a nontrivial connected graph $G$ if the distance from $v$ to $x$ is different from the distance from $v$ to $y$. A set $S\subset V(G)$ is a local metric generator for…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V(G) = \{v_1 ,v_2 ,\cdots ,v_n\}$. The Harary matrix $RD(G)$ of $G$, which is initially called the reciprocal distance matrix, is an $n \times n$ matrix whose $(i,j)$-entry is equal to…

We aim to find orientations of mixed graphs optimizing the total reachability, a problem that has applications in causality and biology. For given a digraph $D$, we use $P(D)$ for the set of ordered pairs of distinct vertices in $V(D)$ and…

Given a matrix M of size n, a digraph D on n vertices is said to be the digraph of M, when M_{ij} is different from 0 if and only if (v_{i},v_{j}) is an arc of D. We give a necessary condition, called strong quadrangularity, for a digraph…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected digraphs on $n\ge 4$ vertices. A vertex $v$ of $D$ is noncritical, if the digraph $D-v$ is strongly connected. We prove, that if sum of the degrees of any two adjacent vertices of $D$ is at least $n+1$, then…

Mader proved that every strongly $k$-connected $n$-vertex digraph contains a strongly $k$-connected spanning subgraph with at most $2kn - 2k^2$ edges, where the equality holds for the complete bipartite digraph ${DK}_{k,n-k}$. For dense…

Let $G$ be a distance-regular graph of order $v$ and size $e$. In this paper, we show that the max-cut in $G$ is at most $e(1-1/g)$, where $g$ is the odd girth of $G$. This result implies that the independence number of $G$ is at most…

Unitary graphs are arc-transitive graphs with vertices the flags of Hermitian unitals and edges defined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. They played a significant role in a recent classification of a class of…

Given a digraph, an ordering of its vertices defines a backedge graph, namely the undirected graph whose edges correspond to the arcs pointing backwards with respect to the order. The degreewidth of a digraph is the minimum over all…

A set $S$ of vertices of a digraph $D$ is called an open neighbourhood locating-dominating set if every vertex in $D$ has an in-neighbour in $S$, and for every pair $u,v$ of vertices of $D$, there is a vertex in $S$ that is an in-neighbour…

We study the undirected divisibility graph in which the vertex set is a finite subset of consecutive natural numbers up to N.We derive analytical expressions for measures of the graph like degree, clustering, geodesic distance and…

For a graph $\Gamma$, the {\em distance} $d_\Gamma(u,v)$ between two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ in $\Gamma$ is defined as the length of the shortest path from $u$ to $v$, and the {\em diameter} $\mathrm{diam}(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ is the…

A vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is said to be a boundary vertex of $G$ if for some other vertex $u$ of $G$, no neighbor of $v$ is further away from $u$ than $v$. The boundary $\partial(G)$ of $G$ is the set of all of its boundary…

The metric dimension of a graph is the size of the smallest set of vertices whose distances distinguish all pairs of vertices in the graph. We show that this graph invariant may be calculated by an algorithm whose running time is linear in…

The eccentric connectivity index of a graph $G$ is $\xi^c(G) = \sum_{v \in V(G)}\varepsilon(v)\deg(v)$, and the eccentric distance sum is $\xi^d(G) = \sum_{v \in V(G)}\varepsilon(v)D(v)$, where $\varepsilon(v)$ is the eccentricity of $v$,…

In this paper extremal values of the difference between several graph invariants related to the metric dimension are studied: mixed metric dimension, edge metric dimension and strong metric dimension. These non-trivial extremal values are…

A directed graph is set-homogeneous if, whenever U and V are isomorphic finite subdigraphs, there is an automorphism g of the digraph with U^g=V. Here, extending work of Lachlan on finite homogeneous digraphs, we classify finite…

The Directed Power Graph of a group is a graph whose vertex set is the elements of the group, with an edge from $x$ to $y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$. The \textit{Power Graph} of a group can be obtained from the directed power graph by…

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. A set $S\subseteq X$ is said to be a $k$-metric generator for $X$ if and only if for any pair of different points $u,v\in X$, there exist at least $k$ points $w_1,w_2, \ldots w_k\in S$ such that $d(u,w_i)\ne…

The topic of this paper is related to the well-known notion of unit distance graphs. Take a graph with its edges coloured red and blue such that for some $d$ it can be mapped into the plane with all vertices going to distinct points, the…
