For any non-negative integers $v > k > i$, the {\em generalized Johnson graph}, $J(v,k,i)$, is the undirected simple graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of a $v$-set, and where any two vertices $A$ and $B$ are adjacent whenever $|A…

Motivated by an approach to visualization of high dimensional statistical data given in Hurley and Oldford (2011), this work examines the clique structure of $J_n(m, m-1)$ Johnson graphs. Cliques and maximal cliques are characterized and…

A graph is \emph{hamiltonian-connected} if every pair of vertices can be connected by a hamiltonian path, and it is \emph{hamiltonian} if it contains a hamiltonian cycle. We construct families of non-hamiltonian graphs for which the ratio…

Given a graph $G$ a set $S\subset V(G)$ is called monophonic if every vertex in $G$ lies on some induced path between two vertices in $S$. The monophonic number, $m(G)$, of $G$, which is the smallest cardinality of a monophonic set in $G$,…

A set of vertices $S$ in a graph $G$ is a {\em resolving set} for $G$ if, for any two vertices $u,v$, there exists $x\in S$ such that the distances $d(u,x) \neq d(v,x)$. In this paper, we consider the Johnson graphs $J(n,k)$ and Kneser…

A Johnson type graph $J_{\pm}(n,k,t)$ is a graph whose vertex set consists of vectors from $\{-1,0,1\}^n$ of the length $\sqrt{k}$ and edges connect vertices with scalar product $t$. The paper determines the order of growth of the chromatic…

A \emph{uniform random intersection graph} $G(n,m,k)$ is a random graph constructed as follows. Label each of $n$ nodes by a randomly chosen set of $k$ distinct colours taken from some finite set of possible colours of size $m$. Nodes are…

Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. To be more formal, a graph $G$ is a median graph if, for all $\mu, u,v\in…

A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t.$ We prove that every $2$-connected $[4,2]$-graph of order at least $7$ is pancyclic. This strengthens existing results. There are…

A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t$. In 2024, Zhan conjectured that every $2$-connected $[p + 2, p]$-graph of order at least $2p + 3$ and with minimum degree at least $p$…

Graham and Pollak showed that the vertices of any graph $G$ can be addressed with $N$-tuples of three symbols, such that the distance between any two vertices may be easily determined from their addresses. An addressing is optimal if its…

A pancyclic graph is a simple graph containing a cycle of length $k$ for all $3\leq k\leq n$. Let $m(n)$ be the minimum number of edges of all pancyclic graphs on $n$ vertices. Exact values are given for $m(n)$ for $n\leq 37$, combining…

Given a connected graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$, the length of a shortest path from a vertex $u$ to a vertex $v$ is denoted by $d(u,v)$. For a proper subset $W$ of $V(G)$, let $m(W)$ be the maximum value of $d(u,v)$ as $u$ ranging over $W$ and $v$…
