Let $G=(V,E)$ be a bipartite graph embedded in a plane (or $n$-holed torus). Two subgraphs of $G$ differ by a {\it $Z$-transformation} if their symmetric difference consists of the boundary edges of a single face---and if each subgraph…

Considering regions in a map to be adjacent when they have nonempty intersection (as opposed to the traditional view requiring intersection in a linear segment) leads to the concept of a facially complete graph: a plane graph that becomes…

The notion of ends in an infinite graph $G$ might be modified if we consider them as equivalence classes of infinitely edge-connected rays, rather than equivalence classes of infinitely (vertex-)connected ones. This alternative definition…

An EPG-representation of a graph $G$ is a collection of paths in a plane square grid, each corresponding to a single vertex of $G$, so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding paths share infinitely many points. In…

Statistical analysis of a graph often starts with embedding, the process of representing its nodes as points in space. How to choose the embedding dimension is a nuanced decision in practice, but in theory a notion of true dimension is…

The size sz(G) of an l_1-graph G=(V,E) is the minimum of n_f/t_f over all its possible l_1-embeddings f into n_f-dimensional hypercube with scale t_f. In terms of v=|V|, the sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices of G is at most…

A directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) is pseudo-transitive with respect to a given subset of edges E1, if for any edge ab in E1 and any edge bc in E, we have ac in E. We give algorithms for computing longest chains and demonstrate geometric…

We offer a new, gradual approach to the largest girth problem for cubic graphs. It is easily observed that the largest possible girth of all $n$-vertex cubic graphs is attained by a $2$-connected graph $G=(V,E)$. By Petersen's graph…

Let a \neq b be two positive scalars. A Euclidean representation of a simple graph G in R^r is a mapping of the nodes of G into points in R^r such that the squared Euclidean distance between any two points is a if the corresponding nodes…

We introduce and study embeddings of graphs in finite projective planes, and present related results for some families of graphs including complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. We also make connections between embeddings of graphs…

The dimension of a graph $G$ is the smallest $d$ for which its vertices can be embedded in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space in the sense that the distances between endpoints of edges equal $1$ (but there may be other unit distances).…

Let $F_G(P)$ be a functional defined on the set of all the probability distributions on the vertex set of a graph $G$. We say that $G$ is \emph{symmetric with respect to $F_G(P)$} if the uniform distribution on $V(G)$ maximizes $F_G(P)$.…

For a graph $G$ and $E \subseteq E(G)$, $E$-restricted strong trace is a closed walk which traverses every edge from $E$ once in each direction and every other edge twice in the same direction. In addition, every time a strong trace come to…

The random graph is an infinite graph with the universal property that any embedding of $G-v$ extends to an embedding of $G$, for any finite graph. In this paper we show that this graph embeds in the curve graph of a surface $\Sigma$ if and…

For a finite group $G$, we define the inclusion graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathcal I(G)$, is a graph having all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ in $\mathcal I(G)$ are adjacent…

A function $f$ of a graph is called a complete graph invariant if the isomorphism of graphs $G$ and $H$ is equivalent to the equality $f(G)=f(H)$. If, in addition, $f(G)$ is a graph isomorphic to $G$, then $f$ is called a canonical form for…

We extend the Penrose polynomial, originally defined only for plane graphs, to graphs embedded in arbitrary surfaces. Considering this Penrose polynomial of embedded graphs leads to new identities and relations for the Penrose polynomial…

Let G be a simple finite graph such that each vertex has an integer value and different vertices have different values. Let S be a finite non-empty set of primes. We call G an S-graph if any two vertices are connected by an edge if and only…

If $H$ is (or is isomorphic to) a subgraph of $G$, $H$ is said to {\it divide} $G$ if there is an edge-decomposition of $G$ by copies of $E(H)$, the edge set of $H$. A more restrictive version of this is when there is a subgroup ${\cal H}$…

In this paper, we present a constructive and proof-relevant development of graph theory, including the notion of maps, their faces, and maps of graphs embedded in the sphere, in homotopy type theory. This allows us to provide an elementary…
