Let G be a simple, connected graph on n vertices. Let d_G(u,v) denote the distance between vertices u and v in G. A subgraph H of G is isometric if d_H(u,v)=d_G(u,v) for every u,v in V(H). We say that G is a distance-preserving graph if G…

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case in which such graphs are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. These groups can be constructed by…

An {\em odd hole} in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of odd length at least five. An {\em odd parachute} is a graph obtained from an odd hole $H$ by adding a new edge $uv$ such that $x$ is adjacent to $u$ but not to $v$ for…

A 1-factor of a hypergraph $G=(X,W)$ is a set of hyperedges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to exactly one hyperedge from the set. A 1-factorization is a partition of all hyperedges of $G$ into disjoint 1-factors. The adjacency…

A convex quadrilateral, $Q$, is called a midpoint diagonal quadrilateral if the intersection point of the diagonals of $Q$ coincides with the midpoint of at least one of the diagonals of $Q$. A parallelogram, P, is a special case of a…

A {\em faithful (unit) distance graph} in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a graph whose set of vertices is a finite subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the Euclidean distance between them is…

Given an undirected graph $G = (V,E)$, the cut polytope $\mathrm{CUT}(G)$ is defined as the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all cuts in $G$. The 1-skeleton of $\mathrm{CUT}(G)$ is a graph whose vertex set is the vertex set of the…

A cubical polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to cubes. We deal with the connectivity of the graphs of cubical polytopes. We first establish that, for any $d\ge 3$, the graph of a cubical $d$-polytope…

In this paper we introduce a superclass of split digraphs, which we call spine digraphs. Those are the digraphs D whose vertex set can be partitioned into two sets X and Y such that the subdigraph induced by X is traceable and Y is a stable…

The quadratic embedding constant (QE constant) of a graph is a new characteristic value of a graph defined through the distance matrix. We derive formulae for the QE constants of the join of two regular graphs, double graphs and certain…

Let $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of a simple connected graph $G$. The Hadamard product $D(G)~\circ~ D(G)$ is called the squared distance matrix of $G$, and is denoted by $\Delta(G)$. A simple connected graph is called a starlike block…

Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$. We show that the number of vertex-labelled cubic multigraphs embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ with $2n$ vertices is asymptotically $c_g n^{5(g-1)/2-1}\gamma^{2n}(2n)!$, where $\gamma$…

Let $G(V,E)$ be a simple, undirected graph where $V$ is the set of vertices and $E$ is the set of edges. A $b$-dimensional cube is a Cartesian product $I_1\times I_2\times...\times I_b$, where each $I_i$ is a closed interval of unit length…

Sudoku grids can be thought of as graphs where the vertices are the squares of the grid, and edges join vertices in the same row, column, or sub-grid. A Sudoku puzzle corresponds to a partial proper coloring of the Sudoku graph. We provide…

The $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph with vertex set $\{0,1\}^n$ such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any graph $H$, define $\text{ex}(Q_n,H)$ to be the maximum…

The class of quasi-chain graphs is an extension of the well-studied class of chain graphs. This latter class enjoys many nice and important properties, such as bounded clique-width, implicit representation, well-quasi-ordering by induced…

Given a graph $G$, its genus polynomial is $\Gamma_G(x) = \sum_{k\geq 0} g_k(G)x^k$, where $g_k(G)$ is the number of 2-cell embeddings of $G$ in an orientable surface of genus $k$. The Log-Concavity Genus Distribution (LCGD) Conjecture…

A graph is edge-distance-regular when it is distance-regular around each of its edges and it has the same intersection numbers for any edge taken as a root. In this paper we give some (combinatorial and algebraic) proofs of the fact that…

In the parallel processing field, graph embedding is motivated by simulation interconnection networks to another. The quadtree is an important technique used to present spatial data and is used in many application domains, especially…

In recent joint work (2021), we introduced a novel multivariate polynomial attached to every metric space - in particular, to every finite simple connected graph $G$ - and showed it has several attractive properties. First, it is…
