The paper is devoted to the study of graph sequence G_n = (V_n, E_n) where V_n is the set of all vectors v in R^n with coordinates from {-1, 0, 1} such that |v| = sqrt(3), and E_n consists of all pairs of vertices with the scalar product 1.…

Denote the Laplacian of a graph $G$ by $L(G)$ and its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue by $\lambda_2(G)$. If $G$ is a graph on $n\ge 2$ vertices, then it is shown that the second smallest eigenvalue of $L(G) + \frac{1}{n}…

Given a bipartite graph $G$, the graphical matrix space $\mathcal{S}_G$ consists of matrices whose non-zero entries can only be at those positions corresponding to edges in $G$. Tutte (J. London Math. Soc., 1947), Edmonds (J. Res. Nat. Bur.…

Distance measures between graphs are important primitives for a variety of learning tasks. In this work, we describe an unsupervised, optimal transport based approach to define a distance between graphs. Our idea is to derive…

Let $G$ be a (di)graph. A set $W$ of vertices in $G$ is a \emph{resolving set} of $G$ if every vertex $u$ of $G$ is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to all the vertices in $W$. The \emph{metric dimension} $\mu (G)$ of $G$ is…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs. A bijection $\phi:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ is called an isomorphism between $G$ and $H$ if $(\phi v_i)(\phi v_j)\in E(H)$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E(G)$, $\forall v_i,v_j \in V(G)$. In the case that…

A {\it fractional matching} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ giving each edge a number in $[0,1]$ so that $\sum_{e \in \Gamma(v)} f(e) \le 1$ for each $v\in V(G)$, where $\Gamma(v)$ is the set of edges incident to $v$. The {\it fractional…

If $G$ is a graph, its Laplacian is the difference between diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and its adjacency matrix. A one-edge connection of two graphs $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ is a graph $G=G_{1}\odot G_{2}$ with $V(G)=V(G_{1})\cup…

For a compact set $E \subset \mathbb R^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k+1$ points in $E$ such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the corresponding…

The {\em metric dimension} of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least number of vertices in a set with the property that the list of distances from any vertex to those in the set uniquely identifies that vertex. We consider the Grassmann graph…

A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m+2n+2$ vertices is said to have property $E(m,n)$ if, for any two disjoint matchings $M$ and $N$ of size $m$ and $n$ respectively, $G$ has a perfect matching $F$ such that $M\subseteq F$ and $N\cap…

Slimness of a graph measures the local deviation of its metric from a tree metric. In a graph $G=(V,E)$, a geodesic triangle $\bigtriangleup(x,y,z)$ with $x, y, z\in V$ is the union $P(x,y) \cup P(x,z) \cup P(y,z)$ of three shortest paths…

For $k \geq 1$, in a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set of vertices $D$ is a distance $k$-dominating set of $G$, if any vertex in $V\setminus D$ is at distance at most $k$ from some vertex in $D$. The minimum cardinality of a distance $k$-dominating…

The distance matrix $\mathcal{D}$ of a connected graph $G$ is the matrix indexed by the vertices of $G$ which entry $\mathcal{D}_{i,j}$ equals the distance between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. The distance signless Laplacian matrix…

We study fundamental graph parameters such as the Diameter and Radius in directed graphs, when distances are measured using a somewhat unorthodox but natural measure: the distance between $u$ and $v$ is the minimum of the shortest path…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple connected graph and $S = \{w_1, \cdots, w_t\} \subseteq V$ an ordered subset of vertices. The metric representation of a vertex $u\in V$ with respect to $S$ is the $t$-vector $r(u|S) = (d_G(u, w_1), \cdots,…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…
