A vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is said to be a boundary vertex of $G$ if for some other vertex $u$ of $G$, no neighbor of $v$ is further away from $u$ than $v$. The boundary $\partial(G)$ of $G$ is the set of all of its boundary…

We define the (random) $k$-cut number of a rooted graph to model the difficulty of the destruction of a resilient network. The process is as the cut model of Meir and Moon except now a node must be cut $k$ times before it is destroyed. The…

Let $G$ be a graph with the vertex set $ \lbrace v_1,\ldots,v_n \rbrace$. The Seidel matrix of $G$ is an $n\times n$ matrix whose diagonal entries are zero, $ij$-th entry is $-1$ if $ v_{i} $ and $ v_{j} $ are adjacent and otherwise is $ 1…

For any finite, simple graph $G = (V,E)$, its $2$-distance graph $G_2$ is a graph having the same vertex set $V$ where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in $G$. Connectivity and diameter properties of these…

For $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, positive integer $n$, and $d > 0$, let $G(S^n, d)$ be the graph whose vertex set is $S^n$ where any two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are Euclidean distance $d$ apart. The primary question we will…

For a sequence p=(p(1),p(2), ...) let G(n,p) denote the random graph with vertex set {1,2, ...,n} in which two vertices i, j are adjacent with probability p(|i-j|), independently for each pair. We study how the convergence of probabilities…

Given the $r$-distance graph on the hypercube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is exactly $r$, we study the maximum size $T(n,r)$ of a triangle-free set of vertices. For even $r\le n/2$, we prove…

Effective resistance is a distance between vertices of a graph that is both theoretically interesting and useful in applications. We study a variant of effective resistance called the biharmonic distance. While the effective resistance…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V$. The distance, $d_G(u, v)$, between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$ is defined as the length of a shortest path between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The distance matrix of $G$ is the matrix $\mathbf{D}(G)…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V(G) = \{v_1, v_2,\ldots, v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G) = \{e_1, e_2,\ldots, e_m\}$. Similar to the Randi\'c matrix, here we introduce the Randi\'c incidence matrix of a graph $G$, denoted by $I_R(G)$,…

For a forbidden graph $L$, let $ex(p;L)$ denote the maximal number of edges in a simple graph of order $p$ not containing $L$. Let $T_n$ denote the unique tree on $n$ vertices with maximal degree $n-2$, and let $T_n^*=(V,E)$ be the tree on…

Let $f(n,k)$ be the minimum number of edges that must be removed from some complete geometric graph $G$ on $n$ points, so that there exists a tree on $k$ vertices that is no longer a planar subgraph of $G$. In this paper we show that…

We give a constructive proof of the fact that the treewidth of a graph $G$ is bounded by a linear function of the separation number of $G$.

The geometric bottleneck Steiner network problem on a set of vertices $X$ embedded in a normed plane requires one to construct a graph $G$ spanning $X$ and a variable set of $k\geq 0$ additional points, such that the length of the longest…

Given finitely many connected polygonal obstacles $O_1,\dots,O_k$ in the plane and a set $P$ of points in general position and not in any obstacle, the {\em visibility graph} of $P$ with obstacles $O_1,\dots,O_k$ is the (geometric) graph…

We prove that a connected graph has linear rank-width 1 if and only if it is a distance-hereditary graph and its split decomposition tree is a path. An immediate consequence is that one can decide in linear time whether a graph has linear…

We explicitly compute the effective resistances between any two vertices of a prism graph by using circuit reductions and our earlier findings on a ladder graph. As an application, we derived a closed form formula for the Kirchhoff index of…

$H_q(n,d)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set ${\mathbb Z}_q^n$ and where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is at least $d$. The chromatic number of these graphs is presented for various sets of parameters $(q,n,d)$.…

To untangle a geometric graph means to move some of the vertices so that the resulting geometric graph has no crossings. Pach and Tardos [Discrete Comput. Geom., 2002] asked if every n-vertex geometric planar graph can be untangled while…

We explicitly compute the effective resistances between any two vertices of a ladder graph by using circuit reductions. Using our findings, we obtain explicit formulas for Kirchhoff index and admissible invariants of a ladder graph…
