We introduce and study the complexity of Path Packing. Given a graph $G$ and a list of paths, the task is to embed the paths edge-disjoint in $G$. This generalizes the well known Hamiltonian-Path problem. Since Hamiltonian Path is…
It is proved that the number of shortest paths between two vertices of distance $t$ in a graph with degrees bounded by $\Delta$ is at most $2 \cdot (\frac{\Delta}{2})^t$. This improves upon the na\"ive $\Delta (\Delta-1) ^{t-1}$ bound.
A D2CS of a graph G is a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ with $diam(G[S]) \leq 2$. We study the problem of counting and enumerating D2CS of a graph. First we give an explicit formula for the number of D2CS in a complete k-ary tree, Fibonacci tree,…
For a graph G, let f_{ij} be the number of spanning rooted forests in which vertex j belongs to a tree rooted at i. In this paper, we show that for a path, the f_{ij}'s can be expressed as the products of Fibonacci numbers; for a cycle,…
We shall study degree-monotone paths in graphs, a problem inspired by the celebrated theorem of Erd{\H{o}}s-Szekeres concerning the longest monotone subsequence of a given sequence of numbers. A path P in a graph G is said to be a degree…
The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…
The Shortest Path Reconfiguration problem has as input a graph G (with unit edge lengths) with vertices s and t, and two shortest st-paths P and Q. The question is whether there exists a sequence of shortest st-paths that starts with P and…
The orthogonality graph of an Okubo algebra with isotropic norm over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ is considered. Its connected components are described, and their diameters are computed. It is shown that there exist at most two shortest…
For given graphs $G$ and $H,$ the \emph{Ramsey number} $R(G,H)$ is the least natural number $n$ such that for every graph $F$ of order $n$ the following condition holds: either $F$ contains $G$ or the complement of $F$ contains $H.$ In this…
A geometric graph $G$ is $xy-$monotone if each pair of vertices of $G$ is connected by a $xy-$monotone path. We study the problem of producing the $xy-$monotone spanning geometric graph of a point set $P$ that (i) has the minimum cost,…
This paper deals with the $\lambda$-labeling and $L(2,1)$-coloring of simple graphs. A $\lambda$-labeling of a graph $G$ is any labeling of the vertices of $G$ with different labels such that any two adjacent vertices receive labels which…
We consider an inhomogeneous version of the Barak-Erd\H{o}s graph, i.e. a directed Er\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with no loop. Given $f$ a Riemann-integrable non-negative function on $[0,1]^2$ and $\gamma > 0$, we define…
For a planar graph with a given f-vector $(f_{0}, f_{1}, f_{2}),$ we introduce a cubic polynomial whose coefficients depend on the f-vector. The planar graph is said to be real if all the roots of the corresponding polynomial are real. Thus…
Finding shortest paths in a graph is relevant for numerous problems in computer vision and graphics, including image segmentation, shape matching, or the computation of geodesic distances on discrete surfaces. Traditionally, the concept of…
A sparse graph that preserves an approximation of the shortest paths between all pairs of points in a plane is called a geometric spanner. Using range trees of sublinear size, we design an algorithm in massively parallel computation (MPC)…
A weighted graph is a graph in which every edge is assigned a non-negative real number. In a weighted graph, the weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its edges, and the weighed degree of a vertex is the sum of the weights of the…
We investigate the asymptotic number of induced subgraphs in power-law uniform random graphs. We show that these induced subgraphs appear typically on vertices with specific degrees, which are found by solving an optimization problem.…
A $k$-ranking of a graph $G$ is a labeling of its vertices from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that any nontrivial path whose endpoints have the same label contains a larger label. The least $k$ for which $G$ has a $k$-ranking is the ranking number…
A graph is called Rank-Ramsey if (i) Its clique number is small, and (ii) The adjacency matrix of its complement has small rank. We initiate a systematic study of such graphs. Our main motivation is that their constructions, as well as…
Let $P_n$ denote the undirected path of length $n-1$. The cardinality of the set of congruence classes induced by the graph homomorphisms from $P_n$ onto $P_k$ is determined. This settles an open problem of Michels and Knauer (Disc. Math.,…
