A universal representation theorem is derived that shows any graph is the intersection graph of one chordal graph, a number of co-bipartite graphs, and one unit interval graph. Central to the the result is the notion of the clique cover…
In this paper, we discuss the existence of fixed points for integral type contractions in uniform spaces endowed with both a graph and an $E$-distance. We also give two sufficient conditions under which the fixed point is unique. Our main…
Let G be a simple finite graph such that each vertex has an integer value and different vertices have different values. Let S be a finite non-empty set of primes. We call G an S-graph if any two vertices are connected by an edge if and only…
This work addresses a modification of the random geometric graph (RGG) model by considering a set of points uniformly and independently distributed on the surface of a $(d-1)$-sphere with radius $r$ in a $d-$dimensional Euclidean space,…
A graph is closed when its vertices have a labeling by [n] with a certain property first discovered in the study of binomial edge ideals. In this article, we prove that a connected graph has a closed labeling if and only if it is chordal,…
Let X be a tree of proper geodesic spaces with edge spaces strongly contracting and uniformly separated from each other by a number depending on the contraction function of edge spaces. Then we prove that the strongly contracting geodesics…
Unitary graphs are arc-transitive graphs with vertices the flags of Hermitian unitals and edges defined by certain elements of the underlying finite fields. They played a significant role in a recent classification of a class of…
Given a finite connected graph $G$, place a bin at each vertex. Two bins are called a pair if they share an edge of $G$. At discrete times, a ball is added to each pair of bins. In a pair of bins, one of the bins gets the ball with…
A connected undirected graph is called \emph{geodetic} if for every pair of vertices there is a unique shortest path connecting them. It has been conjectured that for finite groups, the only geodetic Cayley graphs are odd cycles and…
The problem of determining whether a graph $G$ can be realized as a unit-distance graph in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is NP-complete. As far as we can tell, a proof of this result has never been written up. We prove NP-completeness of this problem by…
Efficient algorithms are presented for constructing spanners in geometric intersection graphs. For a unit ball graph in R^k, a (1+\epsilon)-spanner is obtained using efficient partitioning of the space into hypercubes and solving…
For a graph whose vertex set is a finite set of points in the Euclidean $d$-space consider the closed (open) balls with diameters induced by its edges. The graph is called a (an open) Tverberg graph if these closed (open) balls intersect.…
In this paper we study locally chordal graphs, i.e. graphs where every small-radius ball is chordal. We prove four characterizations of locally chordal graphs. Two are counterparts of the classic descriptions of chordal graphs via induced…
Betweenness centrality is a centrality measure based on the overall amount of shortest paths passing through a given vertex. A graph is betweenness-uniform if all its vertices have the same betweenness centrality. We study the properties of…
We discuss the enumeration of planar graphs using bijections with suitably decorated trees, which allow for keeping track of the geodesic distances between faces of the graph. The corresponding generating functions obey non-linear recursion…
A (Euclidean) greedy drawing of a graph is a drawing in which, for any two vertices $s,t$ ($s \neq t$), there is a neighbor vertex of $s$ that is closer to $t$ than to $s$ in the Euclidean distance. Greedy drawings are important in the…
A connected graph $\G$ is called {\em nicely distance--balanced}, whenever there exists a positive integer $\gamma=\gamma(\G)$, such that for any two adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ there are exactly $\gamma$ vertices of $\G$ which are…
A collection of vectors in a real vector space is called a unimodular system if any of its maximal linearly independent subsets generates the same free abelian group. This notion is closely connected with totally unimodular matrices: rows…
If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a geodesic triangle $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $\delta$-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense)…
We characterize unicyclic graphs that are singular using the support of the null space of their pendant trees. From this, we obtain closed formulas for the independence and matching numbers of a unicyclic graph, based on the support of its…
