For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, denoted $G(\gamma) = (V(\gamma), E(\gamma))$, is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent in…
Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between embedded graphs and present a metric to measure the distance between two geometric…
Robertson and Seymour proved two fundamental theorems about tangles in graphs: the tree-of-tangles theorem, which says that every graph has a tree-decomposition such that distinguishable tangles live in different nodes of the tree, and the…
Recently, Chmutov introduced the partial duality of ribbon graphs, which can be regarded as a generalization of the classical Euler-Poincar\'e duality. The partial-dual genus polynomial $^\partial\varepsilon_G(z)$ is an enumeration of the…
A \emph{directional labeling} of an edge $\emph{uv}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ by an ordered pair $ab$ is a labeling of the edge $uv$ such that the label on $uv$ in the direction from $u$ to $v$ is $\ell(uv)=ab$, and $\ell(vu)=ba$. New…
A path graph is the intersection graph of paths in a tree. A directed path graph is the intersection graph of paths in a directed tree. Even if path graphs and directed path graphs are characterized very similarly, their recognition…
Partial duality is a duality of ribbon graphs relative to a subset of their edges generalizing the classical Euler-Poincare duality. This operation often changes the genus. Recently J.L.Gross, T.Mansour, and T.W.Tucker formulated a…
Given a graph, we associate each edge with the transposition which exchanges the endvertices. Fixing a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of the vertices. D\'enes proved that the permutation is a full cyclic permutation…
We describe a combinatorial approach for investigating properties of rational numbers. The overall approach rests on structural bijections between rational numbers and familiar combinatorial objects, namely rooted trees. We emphasize that…
In this paper, we introduce a connection between two classical concepts of graph theory: \; metric dimension and distinguishing number. For a given graph $G$, let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ represent its metric dimension and distinguishing…
The active bijection forms a package of results studied by the authors in a series of papers in oriented matroids. The present paper is intended to state the main results in the particular case, and more widespread language, of graphs. We…
In 2003, Deutsch and Elizalde defined a family of bijective maps between the set of Dyck paths to itself which is induced by some particular permutations. In this paper, we extend the construction of the maps by allowing the permutation to…
We extend Schaeffer's bijection between rooted quadrangulations and well-labeled trees to the general case of Eulerian planar maps with prescribed face valences, to obtain a bijection with a new class of labeled trees, which we call…
Plane increasing trees are rooted labeled trees embedded into the plane such that the sequence of labels is increasing on any branch starting at the root. Relaxed binary trees are a subclass of unlabeled directed acyclic graphs. We…
The problem of graph burning was firstly introduced as a model for different processes of social and network interactions. Recently, the authors of the present paper developed methods of algebraic topology for investigation of this problem.…
We describe a graph reduction operation, generalizing three graph reduction operations related to gene assembly in ciliates. The graph formalization of gene assembly considers three reduction rules, called the positive rule, double rule,…
We introduce a new combinatorial object called tower diagrams and prove fundamental properties of these objects. We also introduce an algorithm that allows us to slide words to tower diagrams. We show that the algorithm is well-defined only…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
We extend the closed graph theorem and the open mapping theorem to a context in which a natural duality interchanges their extensions.
In this paper we develop three characterizations for isomorphism of graphs. The first characterization is obtained by associating certain bitableaux with the graphs. We order these bitableaux by suitably defined lexicographic order and…
