A $d$-dimensional box is the cartesian product $R_i\times\cdots\times R_d$ where each $R_i$ is a closed interval on the real line. The boxicity of a graph, denoted as $box(G)$, is the minimum integer $d\geq 0$ such that $G$ is the…
The sum-rank metric arises as an algebraic approach for coding in MIMO block-fading channels and multishot network coding. Codes designed in the sum-rank metric have raised interest in applications such as streaming codes, robust coded…
Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The cozero-divisor graph of a ring $R$, denoted by $\Gamma'(R)$, is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of $R$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are…
In this paper, we study the unit graph $ G(\mathbb{Z}_n) $, where $ n $ is of the form $n = p_1^{n_1} p_2^{n_2} \dots p_r^{n_r}$, with $ p_1, p_2, \dots, p_r $ being distinct prime numbers and $ n_1, n_2, \dots, n_r $ being positive…
An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…
In this work, we consider tilings of the Hamming cube and look for metrics which turn the tilings into a perfect code. We consider the family of metrics which are determined by a weight and are compatible with the support of vectors…
The insertion-deletion codes were motivated to correct the synchronization errors. In this paper we prove several coordinate-ordering-free upper bounds on the insdel distances of linear codes, which are based on the generalized Hamming…
Two-weight linear codes are linear codes in which any nonzero codeword can have only two possible distinct weights. Those in the Hamming metric have proven to be very interesting for their connections with authentication codes, association…
In this paper a new parameter for hypergraphs called hypergraph infection is defined. This concept generalizes zero forcing in graphs to hypergraphs. The exact value of the infection number of complete and complete bipartite hypergraphs is…
The zero forcing number Z(G), which is the minimum number of vertices in a zero forcing set of a graph G, is used to study the maximum nullity / minimum rank of the family of symmetric matrices described by G. It is shown that for a…
Several researchers have recently explored various graph parameters that can or cannot be characterized by the spectrum of a matrix associated with a graph. In this paper we show that several NP-hard zero forcing numbers are not…
Let $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])$ be the zero divisor graph over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n[i]$. In this article, we study pancyclic properties of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])$ and $\overline{\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])}$ for different $n$. Also, we prove…
Studying the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes is a significant research area within coding theory, as it provides valuable structural information about the codes and plays a crucial role in determining their performance in…
The incidence matrix of a graph is totally unimodular if and only if the graph is bipartite, i.e., it contains no odd cycles. We extend the characterization of total unimodularity to hypergraphs whose hyperedges of size at least four are…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. We introduce a novel bipartite graph $\mathcal{B}(R)$, the \textit{bipartite zero-divisor--unit graph}, whose vertex set is the disjoint union of the nonzero zero-divisors $Z(R)^*$ and the unit…
A mapping $\alpha : V(G) \to V(H)$ from the vertex set of one graph $G$ to another graph $H$ is an isometric embedding if the shortest path distance between any two vertices in $G$ equals the distance between their images in $H$. Here, we…
Let $n$ be a natural number and $\mathcal{M}$ a set of $n \times n$-matrices over the nonnegative integers such that the joint spectral radius of $\mathcal{M}$ is at most one. We show that if the zero matrix $0$ is a product of matrices in…
For a graph $G$ in which vertices are either black or white, a zero forcing process is an iterative vertex color changing process such that the only white neighbor of a black vertex becomes black in the next time step. A zero forcing set is…
A hole is a chordless cycle with at least four vertices. A hole is odd if it has an odd number of vertices. A dart is a graph which vertices $a, b, c, d, e$ and edges $ab, bc, bd, be, cd, de$. Dart-free graphs have been actively studied in…
