A graph is k-linked if any k disjoint vertex-pairs can be joined by k disjoint paths. We improve a lower bound on the linkedness of polytopes slightly, which results in exact values for the minimal linkedness of 7-, 10- and 13-dimensional…
Let $G$ be an edge-colored connected graph. A path $P$ in $G$ is called a distance $\ell$-proper path if no two edges of the same color appear with fewer than $\ell$ edges in between on $P$. The graph $G$ is called $(k,\ell)$-proper…
In [Graphs Combin.~24 (2008) 469--483.], the third author and the fifth author conjectured that if $G$ is a $k$-connected graph such that $\sigma_{k+1}(G) \ge |V(G)|+\kappa(G)+(k-2)(\alpha(G)-1)$, then $G$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle,…
Let $G$ be a finite simple non-complete connected graph on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $\kappa(G) \geq 1$ its vertex connectivity. Let $f(G)$ denote the number of free vertices of $G$ and $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ the diameter of $G$. Being motivated…
The kth power of a simple graph G, denoted G^k, is the graph with vertex set V(G) where two vertices are adjacent if they are within distance k in G. We are interested in finding lower bounds on the average degree of G^k. Here we prove that…
In this paper, we consider the connected power domination number ($\gamma_{P, c}$) of three standard graph products. The exact value for $\gamma_{P, c}(G\circ H)$ is obtained for any two non-trivial graphs $G$ and $H.$ Further, tight upper…
The $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$, introduced by Jord\'an and Tanigawa, is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ that is defined in terms of the eigenvalues of stiffness…
We show that if a graph is k-edge-connected, and we adjoin to it another graph satisfying a "contracted diameter less or equal to 2" condition, with minimal degree greater or equal to k, and some natural hypothesis on the edges connecting…
The kernel of the natural projection of a graph product of groups onto their direct product is called the Cartesian subgroup of the graph product. This construction generalises commutator subgroups of right-angled Coxeter and Artin groups.…
We consider a generalization of the concept of $d$-flattenability of graphs - introduced for the $l_2$ norm by Belk and Connelly - to general $l_p$ norms, with integer $P$, $1 \le p < \infty$, though many of our results work for $l_\infty$…
Let $\mathcal{H}=\{H_i: i<\alpha \}$ be an indexed family of graphs for some ordinal number $\alpha$. $\mathcal{H}$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a family $\mathcal{G}=\{G_i: i<\alpha \}$ of edge-disjoint subgraphs of $G$ such that $G_i$…
Let $G$ be a graph and $T$ a certain connected subgraph of $G$. The $T$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G; T)$ (or resp., $T$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G; T)$) of $G$ is the minimum number of a set of subgraphs…
Given a connected graph $G$, the total mutual-visibility number of $G$, denoted $\mu_t(G)$, is the cardinality of a largest set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that for every pair of vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ there is a shortest $x,y$-path whose…
Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_\alpha$-matrix of a graph $G$ as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha…
The $g$-extra connectivity is an important parameter to measure the ability of tolerance and reliability of interconnection networks. Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a non-negative integer $g$, a subset $S\subseteq V$ is called a…
The prism over a graph $G$ is the cartesian product $G \Box K_2$. It is known that the property of having a Hamiltonian prism (prism-Hamiltonicity) is stronger than that of having a $2$-walk (spanning closed walk using every vertex at most…
Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. To be more formal, a graph $G$ is a median graph if, for all $\mu, u,v\in…
The $\delta$-complement $G_\delta$ of a graph $G$, introduced in 2022 by Pai et al., is a variant of the graph complement, where two vertices are adjacent in $G_\delta$ if and only if they are of the same degree but not adjacent in $G$ or…
Let $\kappa(G)$ be the connectivity of $G$. The Kronecker product $G_1\times G_2$ of graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ has vertex set $V(G_1\times G_2)=V(G_1)\times V(G_2)$ and edge set $E(G_1\times G_2)=\{(u_1,v_1)(u_2,v_2):u_1u_2\in E(G_1),v_1v_2\in…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity and remoteness of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum,…
