In this work, we explore edge direction, transitivity, and connectedness of Cayley graphs of gyrogroups. More specifically, we find conditions for a Cayley graph of a gyrogroup to be undirected, transitive, and connected. We also show a…
The goal of this short paper to advertise the method of gauge transformations (aka holographic reduction, reparametrization) that is well-known in statistical physics and computer science, but less known in combinatorics. As an application…
We explore the well-known Jaeger's directed cycle double cover conjecture which is equivalent to the assertion that every cubic bridgeless graph has an embedding on a closed orientable surface with no dual loop. We associate each cubic…
Given a natural number k and an orientable surface S of finite type, define the k-curve graph to be the graph with vertices corresponding to isotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on S and with edges corresponding to pairs of…
This article introduces a new approach to discrete curvature based on the concept of effective resistances. We propose a curvature on the nodes and links of a graph and present the evidence for their interpretation as a curvature. Notably,…
Haj\'os conjectured in 1968 that every Eulerian \(n\)-vertex graph can be decomposed into at most $\lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor$ edge-disjoint cycles. This has been confirmed for some special graph classes, but the general case remains open. In a…
A $k$-fault-tolerant connectivity preserver of a directed $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ such that, for any edge set $F \subseteq E(G)$ of size $|F| \le k$, the strongly connected components of $G - F$ and $H - F$ are the same.…
We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…
We prove that the knots and links in the infinite set of $3$-highly twisted $2m$-plats, with $m \geq 2$, are all hyperbolic. This should be compared with a result of Futer-Purcell for $6$-highly twisted diagrams. While their proof uses…
We show how to find and efficiently maintain maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs in undirected graphs. In particular, we provide the following results. (1) A general framework for maintaining the maximal k-edge-connected subgraphs upon…
A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if it has a vertex-transitive automorphism group. Clearly, a weakly…
We study the inverse eigenvector centrality problem on connected undirected graphs, namely, whether a given positive vector can be realized by assigning suitable edge weights. We provide a complete characterization in terms of stable sets…
We conjecture that all connected graphs of order $n$ have von Neumann entropy at least as great as the star $K_{1,n-1}$ and prove this for almost all graphs of order $n$. We show that connected graphs of order $n$ have R\'enyi 2-entropy at…
In this paper, we introduce super-minimally $k$-connected graphs, those $k$-connected graphs in which no proper subgraph is $k$-connected. For $k$ greater than or equal to three, this class lies strictly between the classes of minimally…
We introduce a family of graphs that generalises the class of Cayley graphs. For non-empty subsets L, R of a group G, the two-sided Cayley graph 2SC(G;L,R) is the directed graph with vertex set G and an arc from x to y if and only if…
A directed graph $D$ is singly connected if for every ordered pair of vertices $(s,t)$, there is at most one path from $s$ to $t$ in $D$. Graph orientation problems ask, given an undirected graph $G$, to find an orientation of the edges…
A k-tree is either a complete graph on (k+1) vertices or given a k-tree G' with n vertices, a k-tree G with (n+1) vertices can be constructed by introducing a new vertex v and picking a k-clique Q in G' and then joining each vertex u in Q.…
A graph $G$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if for any total list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a proper total…
We show that for any fixed integer $k \geq 0$, there exists an algorithm that computes the diameter and the eccentricies of all vertices of an input unweighted, undirected $n$-vertex graph of Euler genus at most $k$ in time \[…
Nested graphs have been used in different applications, for example to represent knowledge in semantic networks. On the other hand, graphs with cycles are really important in surface reconstruction, periodic schedule and network analysis.…
