In a graph G, cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) is the (vertex) metric dimension of G. Similarly, the cardinality of such a set is the edge metric dimension of G, if it…

We study the connections between the notions of combinatorial discrepancy and graph degeneracy. In particular, we prove that the maximum discrepancy over all subgraphs $H$ of a graph $G$ of the neighborhood set system of $H$ is sandwiched…

The densest subgraph problem is a classic problem in combinatorial optimisation. Danisch, Chan, and Sozio propose a definition for \emph{local density} that assigns to each vertex $v$ a value $\rho^*(v)$. This local density is a…

We connect several notions relating the structural and dynamical properties of a graph. Among them are the topological entropy coming from the vertex shift, which is related to the spectral radius of the graph's adjacency matrix, the…

Degrading performance of indexing schemes for exact similarity search in high dimensions has long since been linked to histograms of distributions of distances and other 1-Lipschitz functions getting concentrated. We discuss this…

The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum distance between $v$ and any other vertex of $G$. The diameter of a graph $G$ is the maximum eccentricity of a vertex in $G$. The eccentric connectivity index of a connected…

We introduce the Density Formula for (topological) drawings of graphs in the plane or on the sphere, which relates the number of edges, vertices, crossings, and sizes of cells in the drawing. We demonstrate its capability by providing…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ denote the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. The degree graph $\Delta(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the simple undirected graph whose vertex set ${\rm{V}}(G)$ consists…

Learning universal graph representations across heterogeneous domains is difficult because graph datasets differ in topology, node-attribute semantics, feature dimensions, and even attribute availability. We propose GraphVec, a…

A vertex $v\in V$ is said to resolve two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $d_G(v,x)\ne d_G(v,y)$. A set $S\subset V$ is said to be a metric generator for $G$ if any pair of vertices of $G$ is resolved by some element of $S$. A minimum metric…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, let $v\in V$ be a vertex and let $e=uw\in E$ be an edge. The distance between the vertex $v$ and the edge $e$ is given by $d_G(e,v)=\min\{d_G(u,v),d_G(w,v)\}$. A vertex $w\in V$ distinguishes two edges…

In this dissertation, I derive a new method to estimate the Vapnik-Chervonenkis Dimension (VCD) for the class of linear functions. This method is inspired by the technique developed by Vapnik et al. Vapnik et al. (1994). My contribution…

Edge connectivity and vertex connectivity are two fundamental concepts in graph theory. Although by now there is a good understanding of the structure of graphs based on their edge connectivity, our knowledge in the case of vertex…

In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) (resp. E(G)) is called the vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of G. In [16] it was shown that both vertex and edge metric…

While Szemer\'edi's graph regularity lemma is an indispensable tool for studying extremal problems in graph theory, using it comes with a hefty price, since a worst-case graph may only have regular partitions of tower-type size. It is thus…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a connected graph $G$ is a distance-equalizer set if for every two distinct vertices $x, y \in V (G) \setminus S$ there is a vertex $w \in S$ such that the distances from $x$ and $y$ to $w$ are the same. The…
