Given a graph $G$, a geodesic packing in $G$ is a set of vertex-disjoint maximal geodesics, and the geodesic packing number of $G$, ${\gpack}(G)$, is the maximum cardinality of a geodesic packing in $G$. It is proved that the decision…

The strong geodetic number, $\text{sg}(G),$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of vertices such that by fixing one geodesic between each pair of selected vertices, all vertices of the graph are covered. In this paper, the study of the…

The strong resolving graph $G_{SR}$ of a connected graph $G$ was introduced in [Discrete Applied Mathematics 155 (1) (2007) 356--364] as a tool to study the strong metric dimension of $G$. Basically, it was shown that the problem of finding…

If $G$ is a finite group, then the spectrum $\omega(G)$ is the set of all element orders of $G$. The prime spectrum $\pi(G)$ is the set of all primes belonging to $\omega(G)$. A simple graph $\Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$ and in…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w$ strongly resolves a pair $u$, $v$ of vertices of $G$ if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $W$ of vertices is a strong resolving…

Given a graph $G(V,E)$, a vertex subset $S$ of $G$ is called an open packing in $G$ if no pair of distinct vertices in $S$ have a common neighbour in $G$. The size of a largest open packing in $G$ is called the open packing number,…

If $G$ is a graph, then $X\subseteq V(G)$ is a general position set if for every two vertices $v,u\in X$ and every shortest $(u,v)$-path $P$, it holds that no inner vertex of $P$ lies in $X$. In this note we propose three algorithms to…

A set of vertices of a graph is said to be in general position if no three vertices from the set lie on a common geodesic. Recently Klav\v{z}ar, Rall and Yero generalized this notion by defining a set of vertices to be in general…

Let $G \otimes _f H$ denote the Sierpi\'nski product of graphs $G$ and $H$ with respect to the function $f$. The Sierpi\'nski general position number ${\rm gp}{_{\rm S}}(G,H)$ is introduced as the cardinality of a largest general position…

Let $G$ be a graph. The Steiner distance of $W\subseteq V(G)$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of $G$ containing $W$. Such a subgraph is necessarily a tree called a Steiner $W$-tree. The set $A\subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-Steiner…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all maximal independent sets of $G$ have the same cardinality. In 1992 Topp and Volkmann investigated the structure of well-covered graphs that have nontrivial factorizations with respect to some of the…

The general position number of a graph $G$ is the size of the largest set of vertices $S$ such that no geodesic of $G$ contains more than two elements of $S$. The monophonic position number of a graph is defined similarly, but with `induced…

The general position number for graphs ask for largest vertex subsets $S$ such that no three vertices are contained on a common shortest path. We examine this problem in the setting of directed graphs. We provide bounds for the general…

Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs, and $G\boxtimes H$ the strong product of $G$ and $H$. We prove that for any connected graphs $G$ and $H$ there is a strongly connected orientation $D$ of $G\boxtimes H$ such that ${\rm diam}(D)\leq 2r+15$, where…

A subset of vertices of a graph $G$ is a general position set if no triple of vertices from the set lie on a common shortest path in $G$. In this paper we introduce the general position polynomial as $\sum_{i \geq 0} a_i x^i$, where $a_i$…
