It was recently shown \cite{STV} that satisfiability is polynomially solvable when the incidence graph is an interval bipartite graph (an interval graph turned into a bipartite graph by omitting all edges within each partite set). Here we…

Motivated by the concept of well-covered graphs, we define a graph to be well-bicovered if every vertex-maximal bipartite subgraph has the same order (which we call the bipartite number). We first give examples of them, compare them with…

A $(v,k,\lambda)$-BIBD $(X,\mathcal B)$ can be nested if there is a mapping $\phi:\mathcal B\rightarrow X$ such that $(X,\{B\cup\{\phi(B)\}\mid B\in\mathcal B\})$ is a $(v,k+1,\lambda+1)$-packing. A $(v,k,\lambda)$-BIBD has a (perfect)…

We find a class of block graphs whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. As a consequence, we characterize the trees whose binomial edge ideals have minimal regularity. Also, we show that the binomial edge ideal of a block graph…

The complexity of the graph isomorphism problem for trapezoid graphs has been open over a decade. This paper shows that the problem is GI-complete. More precisely, we show that the graph isomorphism problem is GI-complete for comparability…

The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is…

Biharmonic distance (\bd) is a powerful graph distance metric with many applications, including identifying critical links in road networks and mitigating over-squashing problem in \gnn. However, computing \bd\ is extremely difficult,…

Given an integer $k\ge3$ and a group $G$ of odd order, if there exists a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design and if $v$ is sufficiently large, then there is such a design whose automorphism group has a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A weaker result is proved…

This paper is related to the problem of finding the maximal quasi-bicliques in a bipartite graph (bigraph). A quasi-biclique in the bigraph is its "almost" complete subgraph. The relaxation of completeness can be understood variously; here,…

A linear arrangement is a labeling or a numbering or a linear ordering of the vertices of a graph. In this paper we solve the minimum linear arrangement problem for bijective connection graphs (for short BC graphs) which include hypercubes,…

Let $\Lambda$ be a numerical semigroup and $I\subset \Lambda$ be an ideal of $\Lambda$. The graph $G_I(\Lambda)$ assigned to an ideal $I$ of $\Lambda$ is a graph with elements of $(\Lambda \setminus I)^*$ as vertices and any two vertices…

We consider ordered pairs $(X,\mathcal{B})$ where $X$ is a finite set of size $v$ and $\mathcal{B}$ is some collection of $k$-element subsets of $X$ such that every $t$-element subset of $X$ is contained in exactly $\lambda$ "blocks" $B\in…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set in which the number of vertices in the two parts differ by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges which go across the two parts. In this paper, motivated by several questions…
