For a graph $G$, a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set of $G$ if, for any two vertices $u,v\in V(G)$, there exists a vertex $w\in S$ such that $d(w,u)\neq d(w,v)$. The Metric Dimension problem takes as input a graph $G$ on…
For an ordered set $W=\{w_1,w_2,...,w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, the ordered $k$-vector $r(v|W):=(d(v,w_1),d(v,w_2),.,d(v,w_k))$ is called the (metric) representation of $v$ with respect to $W$, where…
Networks are inherently vulnerable to vertex failures, making the analysis of their structural robustness a fundamental problem in graph theory. In this study, we investigate the closeness and vertex residual closeness of graphs, with a…
A graph H is strongly immersed in G if H is obtained from G by a sequence of vertex splittings (i.e., lifting some pairs of incident edges and removing the vertex) and edge removals. Equivalently, vertices of H are mapped to distinct…
In this paper we show that the problem of identifying an edge $(i,j)$ in a graph $G$ such that there exists an optimal vertex cover $S$ of $G$ containing exactly one of the nodes $i$ and $j$ is NP-hard. Such an edge is called a weak edge.…
In the Vertex Cover Reconfiguration (VCR) problem, given a graph $G$, positive integers $k$ and $\ell$ and two vertex covers $S$ and $T$ of $G$ of size at most $k$, we determine whether $S$ can be transformed into $T$ by a sequence of at…
A major factor affecting the readability of a graph drawing is its resolution. In the graph drawing literature, the resolution of a drawing is either measured based on the angles formed by consecutive edges incident to a common node…
Graph theoretical ideas are highly utilized by computer science fields especially data mining. In this field, a data structure can be designed in the form of tree. Covering is a widely used form of data representation in data mining and…
Two previous papers, arXiv:1803.00284 and arXiv:1803.00281, introduced and studied strong subgraph $k$-connectivity of digraphs obtaining characterizations, lower and upper bounds and computational complexity results for the new digraph…
A set $W\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set, if for each two distinct vertices $u,v\in V(G)$ there exists $w\in W$ such that $d(u,w)\neq d(v,w)$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. A resolving set for $G$…
Highly connected and yet sparse graphs (such as expanders or graphs of high treewidth) are fundamental, widely applicable and extensively studied combinatorial objects. We initiate the study of such highly connected graphs that are, in…
Let ${\cal G}$ be a family of graphs defined on a common (labeled) vertex set $V$. A set $S\subset V$ is said to be a simultaneous strong metric generator for ${\cal G}$ if it is a strong metric generator for every graph of the family. The…
Recent studies have revealed that GNNs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. To defend against such attacks, robust graph structure refinement (GSR) methods aim at minimizing the effect of adversarial edges based on node features, graph…
In the classical partial vertex cover problem, we are given a graph $G$ and two positive integers $R$ and $L$. The goal is to check whether there is a subset $V'$ of $V$ of size at most $R$, such that $V'$ covers at least $L$ edges of $G$.…
An odd coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ such that for every non-isolated vertex $v$, there is a color appearing an odd number of times in $N_G(v)$. Odd coloring of graphs was studied intensively in recent few years. In…
A vertex $w$ in a graph $G$ is said to resolve two vertices $u$ and $v$ if $d(w,u)\neq d(w, v)$. A set $W$ of vertices is a resolving set for $G$ if every pair of distinct vertices is resolved by some vertex in $W$. The metric dimension of…
A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m + 2n + 2$ vertices which contains a perfect matching is $E(m, n)$-{\it extendable}, if for any two sets of disjoint independent edges $M$ and $N$ with $|M| = m$ and $|N|= n$, there is a perfect…
Resolving sets were originally designed to locate vertices of a graph one at a time. For the purpose of locating multiple vertices of the graph simultaneously, $\{\ell\}$-resolving sets were recently introduced. In this paper, we present…
Guided depth map super-resolution (GDSR), which aims to reconstruct a high-resolution (HR) depth map from a low-resolution (LR) observation with the help of a paired HR color image, is a longstanding and fundamental problem, it has…
In this note, we revisit the notion of strong set-colorings introduced by Hegde (2009) and completed by equivalences due to Boutin et al. (2010) and provide a necessary and sufficient \emph{Steiner packing} characterisation: a finite graph…
