This paper revisits the study of (minimum) broadcast graphs, i.e., graphs enabling fast information dissemination from every source node to all the other nodes (and having minimum number of edges for this property). This study is performed…

The dual concepts of coverings and packings are well studied in graph theory. Coverings of graphs with balls of radius one and packings of vertices with pairwise distances at least two are the well-known concepts of domination and…

The \emph{metric dimension} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\dim(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its distances to the chosen vertices. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$…

We introduce a variation of metric dimension, called the multiset dimension. The representation multiset of a vertex $v$ with respect to $W$ (which is a subset of the vertex set of a graph $G$), $r_m (v|W)$, is defined as a multiset of…

Blessing, Insko, Johnson and Mauretour gave a generalization of the domination number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ called the $(t,r)$ broadcast domination number which depends on the positive integer parameters $t$ and $r$. In this setting, a…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices that contains at least one endpoint of every edge on the graph. The domination number of $G$ is the order of a minimum dominating set of $G$. The $(t,r)$ broadcast domination is a…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ of diameter $d$, a broadcast is a function $f:V(G) \to \{ 0, 1, \dots, d \}$ where $f(v)$ is at most the eccentricity of $v$. A vertex $v$ is broadcasting if $f(v)>0$ and a vertex $u$ hears $v$ if $d(u,v) \leq f(v)$.…

The metric dimension, $\dim(G)$, and the fractional metric dimension, $\dim_f(G)$, of a graph $G$ have been studied extensively. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(x,y)$ denote the length of a shortest $x-y$ path in $G$.…

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…

A vertex $x$ in a graph $G$ resolves two vertices $u$, $v$ of $G$ if the distance between $u$ and $x$ is not equal to the distance between $v$ and $x$. A function $g$ from the vertex set of $G$ to $[0,1]$ is a resolving function of $G$ if…

A regular graph $G = (V,E)$ is an $(\varepsilon,\gamma)$ small-set expander if for any set of vertices of fractional size at most $\varepsilon$, at least $\gamma$ of the edges that are adjacent to it go outside. In this paper, we give a…

A set $W\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set for $G$, if for each two distinct vertices $u,v\in V(G)$ there exists $w\in W$ such that $d(u,w)\neq d(v,w)$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. The minimum…

In this paper, we give simple optimal lower bounds on the one-way two-party communication complexity of approximate Maximum Matching and Minimum Vertex Cover with deletions. In our model, Alice holds a set of edges and sends a single…

The radio number problem uses a graph-theoretical model to simulate optimal frequency assignments on wireless networks. A radio labeling of a connected graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G) \to \mathbb Z_{0}^+$ such that for every pair of…

We introduce a new graph-theoretic concept in the area of network monitoring. A set $M$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{distance-edge-monitoring set} if for every edge $e$ of $G$, there is a vertex $x$ of $M$ and a vertex $y$ of $G$…

We introduce a new technique for bounding the cover time of random walks by relating it to the runtime of randomized broadcast. In particular, we strongly confirm for dense graphs the intuition of Chandra et al. \cite{CRRST97} that "the…

A monitoring edge-geodetic set, or simply an MEG-set, of a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $M \subseteq V(G)$ such that given any edge $e$ of $G$, $e$ lies on every shortest $u$-$v$ path of $G$, for some $u,v \in M$. The monitoring…
