As a generalization of orbit-polynomial and distance-regular graphs, we introduce the concept of a quotient-polynomial graph. In these graphs every vertex $u$ induces the same regular partition around $u$, where all vertices of each cell…

Given the degree sequence $d$ of a graph, the realization graph of $d$ is the graph having as its vertices the labeled realizations of $d$, with two vertices adjacent if one realization may be obtained from the other via an edge-switching…

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 $a_i$…

In this work, we introduce the boundary polynomial of a graph $G$ as the ordinary generating function in two variables $B(G;x,y):= \displaystyle\sum_{S\subseteq V(G)} x^{|B(S)|}y^{|S|}$, where $B(S)$ denotes the outer boundary of $S$. We…

For a graph representation of a dataset, a straightforward normality measure for a sample can be its graph degree. Considering a weighted graph, degree of a sample is the sum of the corresponding row's values in a similarity matrix. The…

In this paper we relate a fundamental parameter of a random graph, its degree sequence, to a simple model of nearly independent binomial random variables. This confirms a conjecture made in 1997. As a result, many interesting functions of…

A successive vertex ordering of a graph is a linear ordering of its vertices in which every vertex except the first has at least one neighbour appearing earlier. Such orderings arise naturally in incremental growth and…

The neighborhood polynomial of graph $G$ is the generating function for the number of vertex subsets of $G$ of which the vertices have a common neighbor in $G$. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of this polynomial under several…

We study the problem of generating graphs with prescribed degree sequences for bipartite, directed, and undirected networks. We first propose a sequential method for bipartite graph generation and establish a necessary and sufficient…
