An $(m, n)$-colored-mixed graph $G=(V, A_1, A_2,\cdots, A_m, E_1, E_2,\cdots, E_n)$ is a graph having $m$ colors of arcs and $n$ colors of edges. We do not allow two arcs or edges to have the same endpoints. A homomorphism from an…

We say that a graph $H$ dominates another graph $H'$ if the number of homomorphisms from $H'$ to any graph $G$ is dominated, in an appropriate sense, by the number of homomorphisms from $H$ to $G$. We study the family of dominating graphs,…

We consider constrained variants of graph homomorphisms such as embeddings, monomorphisms, full homomorphisms, surjective homomorpshims, and locally constrained homomorphisms. We also introduce a new variation on this theme which derives…

Graph classification plays an important role is data mining, and various methods have been developed recently for classifying graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel method for graph classification that is based on homotopy equivalence of…

In this paper we determine all singular endomorphisms of the Hamming graph and other related graphs. The Hamming graph has vertices $\mathbb{Z}^{m}_n$ where two vertices are adjacent, if their Hamming distance is $1$. We show that its…

To investigate hyperbinary expansions of a nonnegative integer~$n$, an edge-labeled directed graph $A(n)$ has recently been introduced. After pointing out some new simple facts about its cyclomatic number, we give a relatively simple…

The adjacency-diametrical matrix (AD matrix) of a connected graph $G$ with diameter $d$, denoted by $AD(G)$, is the matrix indexed by the vertices of $G$ in which the $(i,j)$-entry of $AD(G)$ is $1$ if $d_G(v_i,v_j)=1$, is $d$ if…
