A walk $u_0u_1 \ldots u_{k-1}u_k$ of a graph $G$ is a \textit{weakly toll walk} if $u_0u_k \not\in E(G)$, $u_0u_i \in E(G)$ implies $u_i = u_1$, and $u_ju_k\in E(G)$ implies $u_j=u_{k-1}$. The {\em weakly toll interval} of a set $S…

Toll convexity is a variation of the so-called interval convexity. A tolled walk $T$ between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is a walk of the form $T: u,w_1,\ldots,w_k,v,$ where $k\ge 1$, in which $w_1$ is the only neighbor of $u$ in $T$ and $w_k$ is…

A tolled walk $T$ between two non-adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in a graph $G$ is a walk, in which $u$ is adjacent only to the second vertex of $T$ and $v$ is adjacent only to the second-to-last vertex of $T$. A toll interval between…

In this work, we introduce a new graph convexity, that we call Cycle Convexity, motivated by related notions in Knot Theory. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, define the interval function in the Cycle Convexity as $I_{cc}(S) = S\cup \{v\in V(G)\mid…

A walk $u_0u_1 \ldots u_{k-1}u_k$ is a \textit{weakly toll walk} if $u_0u_i \in E(G)$ implies $u_i = u_1$ and $u_ju_k\in E(G)$ implies $u_j=u_{k-1}$. A set $S$ of vertices of $G$ is {\it weakly toll convex} if for any two non-adjacent…

Let $D$ be an orientation of a simple graph. Given $u,v\in V(D)$, a directed shortest $(u,v)$-path is a $(u,v)$-geodesic. $S \subseteq V(D)$ is convex if, for every $u,v \in S$, the vertices in each $(u,v)$-geodesic and in each…

A set S of vertices of a connected graph G is convex, if for any pair of vertices u; v 2 S, every shortest path joining u and v is contained in S . The convex hull CH(S) of a set of vertices S is defined as the smallest convex set in G…

The exploration of weakly toll convexity is the focus of this investigation. A weakly toll walk is any walk $W: u, w_1, \ldots , w_{k-1}, v$ between $u$ and $v$ such that $u$ is adjacent only to the vertex $w_1$, which can appear more than…

Let $G$ be a finite, simple, and undirected graph and let $S$ be a set of vertices of $G$. In the geodetic convexity, a set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is convex if all vertices belonging to any shortest path between two vertices of $S$…

A path $P = v_1, ..., v_t$ is a {\em triangle path} (respectively, {\em monophonic path}) of $G$ if no edges exist joining vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of $P$ such that $|j - i| > 2$; (respectively, $|j - i| > 1$). A set of vertices $S$ is {\em…

A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is \emph{monophonic convex} if $S$ contains all the vertices belonging to any induced path connecting two vertices of $S$. The cardinality of a maximum proper monophonic convex set of $G$ is called the…

Let $G$ be a graph and $S \subseteq V(G)$. In the cycle convexity, we say that $S$ is \textit{cycle convex} if for any $u\in V(G)\setminus S$, the induced subgraph of $S\cup\{u\}$ contains no cycle that includes $u$. The \textit{cycle…

The stress interval $S(u,v)$ between $u,v\in V(G)$ is the set of all vertices in a graph $G$ that lie on every shortest $u,v$-path. A set $U \subseteq V(G)$ is stress convex if $S(u,v) \subseteq U$ for any $u,v\in U$. A vertex $v \in V(G)$…

We prove that, given a closure function the smallest preimage of a closed set can be calculated in polynomial time in the number of closed sets. This confirms a conjecture of Albenque and Knauer and implies that there is a polynomial time…

A walk $W=w_1w_2\dots w_k$, $k\geq 2$, is called a toll walk if $w_1\neq w_k$ and $w_2$ and $w_{k-1}$ are the only neighbors of $w_1$ and $w_k$, respectively, on $W$ in a graph $G$. A toll walk interval $T(u,v)$, $u,v\in V(G)$, contains all…

A \emph{thrackle} is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once, either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. Conway's thrackle conjecture states that the number of edges is at most the number of…

A new algorithm for the determination of the relative convex hull in the plane of a simple polygon A with respect to another simple polygon B which contains A, is proposed. The relative convex hull is also known as geodesic convex hull, and…
