A Peano compactum is a compact metric space having locally connected components such that at most finitely many of them are of diameter greater than any fixed number C>0. Given a compactum K in the extended complex plane, it is known that…
A graph $G$ admiting a $2$-factor is \textit{pseudo $2$-factor isomorphic} if the parity of the number of cycles in all its $2$-factors is the same. In [M. Abreu, A.A. Diwan, B. Jackson, D. Labbate and J. Sheehan. Pseudo $2$-factor…
A partial cube is a graph having an isometric embedding in a hypercube. Partial cubes are characterized by a natural equivalence relation on the edges, whose classes are called zones. The number of zones determines the minimal dimension of…
A graph $G$ is pseudo 2-factor isomorphic if the parity of the number of cycles in a 2-factor is the same for all 2-factors of $G$. Abreu et al. conjectured that $K_{3,3}$, the Heawood graph and the Pappus graph are the only essentially…
The paper consists of two parts. In the first one we show that a relatively hyperbolic group $G$ splits as a star graph of groups whose central vertex group is finitely generated and the other vertex groups are maximal parabolic subgroups.…
Quasi-median graphs are a tool commonly used by evolutionary biologists to visualise the evolution of molecular sequences. As with any graph, a quasi-median graph can contain cut vertices, that is, vertices whose removal disconnect the…
The difference between the two largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$ is called the spectral gap of $G.$ If $G$ is a regular graph, then its spectral gap is equal to algebraic connectivity. Abdi, Ghorbani and Imrich, in…
A platypus graph is a non-hamiltonian graph for which every vertex-deleted subgraph is traceable. They are closely related to families of graphs satisfying interesting conditions regarding longest paths and longest cycles, for instance…
An integral convex polytope ${\mathcal P}$ is said to be Gorenstein if its toric ring $K[{\mathcal P}]$ is normal and Gorenstein. In this paper, Gorenstein cut polytopes of graphs are characterized explicitly. First, we prove that…
Let $G = V, E$ be a simple connected undirected graph. A set $X \subseteq V$ is \emph{geodesically convex} if for any pair of vertices $x, y \in X$, all vertices on all shortest paths in $G$ from $x$ to $y$ are contained in $X$. A set $H…
Let $k$ be a positive integer and let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices. A connected $k$-subpartition of $G$ is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint sets (a.k.a. classes) of vertices in $G$ such that each set induces a connected subgraph.…
The median of a set of vertices $P$ of a graph $G$ is the set of all vertices $x$ of $G$ minimizing the sum of distances from $x$ to all vertices of $P$. In this paper, we present a linear time algorithm to compute medians in median graphs,…
A median graph is a connected graph, such that for any three vertices $u,v,w$ there is exactly one vertex $x$ that lies simultaneously on a shortest $(u,v)$-path, a shortest $(v,w)$-path and a shortest $(w,u)$-path. Examples of median…
Let $B=(X,Y,E)$ be a bipartite graph. A half-square of $B$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. Every planar graph is a half-square of a planar bipartite…
A connected 3-valent plane graph, whose faces are $q$- or 6-gons only, is called a {\em graph $q_n$}. We classify all graphs $4_n$, which are isometric subgraphs of a $m$-hypercube $H_m$.
Two groups are virtually isomorphic if they can be obtained one from the other via a finite number of steps, where each step consists in taking a finite extension or a finite index subgroup (or viceversa). Virtually isomorphic groups are…
Graph complements G(n) of cyclic graphs are circulant, vertex-transitive, claw-free, strongly regular, Hamiltonian graphs with a Z(n) symmetry, Shannon capacity 2 and known Wiener and Harary index. There is an explicit spectral zeta…
A finite simple graph is called a bi-Cayley graph over a group $H$ if it has a semiregular automorphism group, isomorphic to $H,$ which has two orbits on the vertex set. Cubic vertex-transitive bi-Cayley graphs over abelian groups have been…
Fibonacci cubes are induced subgraphs of hypercube graphs obtained by restricting the vertex set to those binary strings which do not contain consecutive 1s. This class of graphs has been studied extensively and generalized in many…
We consider Thurston maps, i.e., branched covering maps $f\colon S^2\to S^2$ that are postcritically finite. In addition, we assume that $f$ is expanding in a suitable sense. It is shown that each sufficiently high iterate $F=f^n$ of $f$ is…
