A graph $G=(V,E)$ is representable if there exists a word $W$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $W$ if and only if $(x,y)\in E$ for each $x\neq y$. If $W$ is $k$-uniform (each letter of $W$ occurs exactly $k$…

This paper investigates the new notion of $2$-word-$\pi$-repre\-sentable graphs: the nodes of the graph correspond to the letters of the two words and there exists an edge between two nodes if the projections of any two letters of both…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is word-representable if there is a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if and only if the edge $(x, y)$ is in $G$. It is known [6] that all $3$-colourable graphs are word-representable,…

A word-graph Gw is a digraph represented by a word w such that the vertex-set V(Gw) is the alphabet of w and the edge-set E(Gw) is determined by non-identical adjacent letter pairs in w. In this paper we study the strong-connectivity of…

Word-representable graphs, which are the same as semi-transitively orientable graphs, generalize several fundamental classes of graphs. In this paper we propose a novel approach to study word-representability of graphs using a technique of…

Jeff Remmel introduced the concept of a $k$-11-representable graph in 2017. This concept was first explored by Cheon et al. in 2019, who considered it as a natural extension of word-representable graphs, which are exactly 0-11-representable…

A split graph is a graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and an independent set. The word-representability of split graphs was studied in a series of papers in the literature, and the class of word-representable split…

In this short note, we first associate a new simple undirected graph with a given word over an ordered alphabet of $n$-letters. We will call it the Lyndon graph of that word. Then, we introduce the concept of the Lyndon-word representable…

An open question in the theory of word-representable graphs for the past decade has been whether the line graph of a non-word-representable graph is always non-word-representable. By formulating an appropriate optimization problem for the…

Let D denote an infinite alphabet -- a set that consists of infinitely many symbols. A word w = a_0 b_0 a_1 b_1 ... a_n b_n of even length over D can be viewed as a directed graph G_w whose vertices are the symbols that appear in w, and the…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be word-representable if a word $w$ can be formed using the letters of the alphabet $V$ such that for every pair of vertices $x$ and $y$, $xy \in E$ if and only if $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$. A…

The representation number of a graph is the minimum number of copies of each vertex required to represent the graph as a word, such that the letters corresponding to vertices $x$ and $y$ alternate if and only if $xy$ is an edge in the…

A 1-11-representation of a graph $G(V,E)$ is a word over the alphabet $V$ such that two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if the restricted word $w{x,y}$ (obtained from $w$ by deleting all letters except $x$ and $y$)…

A graph is called $k$-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the nodes of the graph, each node occurring exactly $k$ times, such that there is an edge between two nodes $x,y$ if and only after removing all letters distinct from…

The notion of a Riordan graph was introduced recently, and it is a far-reaching generalization of the well-known Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs. However, apart from a certain subclass of Toeplitz graphs, nothing was known on independent…

In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph. The Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs, and also some other…

In this work, we characterize the class of word-representable graphs with respect to the modular decomposition. Consequently, we determine the representation number of a word-representable graph in terms of the permutation-representation…

A Toeplitz graph $T_n \langle t_1,t_2,\ldots,t_k\rangle$ is a simple graph with the vertex set $[n]$ such that two vertices $v$ and $w$ are adjacent if and only if $|v-w| = t_i$ for some $i \in [k]$. In this paper, we investigate line…

Graph-based semantic representations are valuable in natural language processing, where it is often simple and effective to represent linguistic concepts as nodes, and relations as edges between them. Several attempts has been made to find…
