We study the two-player communication problem of determining whether two vertices $x, y$ are nearby in a graph $G$, with the goal of determining the graph structures that allow the problem to be solved with a constant-cost randomized…
The simple connected graphs may be classified by their cycle composition (number and lengths of cycles). This work derives the counting series of the simple connected graphs that have cycles of unrestricted number and length, but no…
Traditional graph analysis focuses on nodes and edges, that is, pairwise relationships. Yet many real-world networks, including biological, social, and communication networks, involve higher-order relationships in which multiple nodes…
We study a recursively defined two-parameter family of graphs which generalize Fibonacci cubes and Pell graphs and determine their basic structural and enumerative properties. In particular, we show that all of them are induced subgraphs of…
A constructive characterization of the class of uniformly $4$-connected graphs is presented. The characterization is based on the application of graph operations to appropriate vertex and edge sets in uniformly $4$-connected graphs, that…
K-geodetic graphs (K capital) are defined as graphs in which each pair of nonadjacent vertices has at most K paths of minimum length between them. A K-geodetic graph is geodetic if K=1, bigeodetic if K=2 and trigeodetic if K=3. K-geodetic…
Finding large cliques or cliques missing a few edges is a fundamental algorithmic task in the study of real-world graphs, with applications in community detection, pattern recognition, and clustering. A number of effective…
We develop new methods based on graph motifs for graph clustering, allowing more efficient detection of communities within networks. We focus on triangles within graphs, but our techniques extend to other clique motifs as well. Our…
The edges surrounding a face of a map $M$ form a cycle $C$, called the boundary cycle of the face, and $C$ is often not a simple cycle. If the map $M$ is arc-transitive, then there is a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms of $M$ which leaves…
Consider the following two ways to colour the vertices of a graph where the requirement that adjacent vertices get distinct colours is relaxed. A colouring has "defect" $d$ if each monochromatic component has maximum degree at most $d$. A…
Flip graphs are graphs on combinatorial objects in which the adjacency relation reflects a local change in the underlying objects. In this thesis we introduce Yoke graphs, a family of flip graphs that generalizes previously studied families…
We investigate structural and combinatorial properties of Bi-Cayley graphs defined over cyclic groups of order $p^2q^2$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes. We begin by describing their fundamental group-theoretic underpinnings. The main…
The chordal ring (CR) graphs are a well-known family of graphs used to model some interconnection networks for computer systems in which all nodes are in a cycle. Generalizing the CR graphs, in this paper, we introduce the families of…
String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about physical processes, logic circuits, tensor networks, and many other compositional structures. The distinguishing feature of these diagrams is that edges need not be connected to…
We introduce new algebro-topological invariants of directed networks, based on the topological construction of the directed clique complex. The shape of the underlying directed graph is encoded in a way that can be studied mathematically to…
We investigate connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs whose edge sets admit a partition into a $2$-factor $\mathcal{C}$ and a $1$-factor that is invariant under a vertex-transitive subgroup of the automorphism group of the graph and where…
The eccentricity matrix of a simple connected graph G is obtained from the distance matrix of G by retaining the largest non-zero distance in each row and column, and the remaining entries are defined to be zero. A bi-block graph is a…
Galinier, Habib, and Paul introduced the reduced clique graph of a chordal graph $G$. The nodes of the reduced clique graph are the maximal cliques of $G$, and two nodes are joined by an edge if and only if they form a non-disjoint…
Bipartite graphs have received some attention in the study of social networks and of biological mutualistic systems. A generalization of a previous model is presented, that evolves the topology of the graph in order to optimally account for…
In this paper we consider the following problem: Over the class of all simple connected graphs of order $n$ with $k$ pendant vertices ($n,k$ being fixed), which graph maximizes (respectively, minimizes) the algebraic connectivity? We also…
