The metric dimension dim(G) of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ is uniquely determined by its distances to $S$. It is well-known that the metric dimension of a graph can…
Metric dimension is an essential parameter in graph theory that aids in addressing issues pertaining to information retrieval, localization, network design, and chemistry through the identification of the least possible number of elements…
Let $G$ be a connected graph and $u,v$ and $w$ vertices of $G$. Then $w$ is said to {\em strongly resolve} $u$ and $v$, if there is either a shortest $u$-$w$ path that contains $v$ or a shortest $v$-$w$ path that contains $u$. A set $W$ of…
The modular product $G\diamond H$ of graphs $G$ and $H$ is a graph on vertex set $V(G)\times V(H)$. Two vertices $(g,h)$ and $(g',h')$ of $G\diamond H$ are adjacent if $g=g'$ and $hh'\in E(H)$, or $gg'\in E(G)$ and $h=h'$, or $gg'\in E(G)$…
Given a graph G, a real orthogonal representation of G is a function from its set of vertices to R^d such that two vertices are mapped to orthogonal vectors if and only if they are not neighbors. The minimum vector rank of a graph is the…
We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…
Graph edit distance (GED) is a powerful and flexible graph matching paradigm that can be used to address different tasks in structural pattern recognition, machine learning, and data mining. In this paper, some new binary linear programming…

The metric dimension of a graph is the smallest number of nodes required to identify all other nodes based on shortest path distances uniquely. Applications of metric dimension include discovering the source of a spread in a network,…
We study the VC-dimension of the set system on the vertex set of some graph which is induced by the family of its $k$-connected subgraphs. In particular, we give tight upper and lower bounds for the VC-dimension. Moreover, we show that…
A set $B\subseteq V(G)$ is called a $k$-total limited packing set in a graph $G$ if $|B\cap N(v)|\leq k$ for any vertex $v\in V(G)$. The $k$-total limited packing number $L_{k,t}(G)$ is the maximum cardinality of a $k$-total limited packing…

In the analysis of large-scale network data, a fundamental operation is the comparison of observed phenomena to the predictions provided by null models: when we find an interesting structure in a family of real networks, it is important to…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A set of vertices $A$ is an incidence generator for $G$ if for any two distinct edges $e,f\in E(G)$ there exists a vertex from $A$ which is an endpoint of either $e$ or $f$. The smallest cardinality of an incidence…

A set $W\subseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set, 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 $y$. A resolving set for $G$…
An automorphism on a graph $G$ is a bijective mapping on the vertex set $V(G)$, which preserves the relation of adjacency between any two vertices of $G$. An automorphism $g$ fixes a vertex $v$ if $g$ maps $v$ onto itself. The stabilizer of…
The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…
We consider the (exact, minimum) $k$-cut problem: given a graph and an integer $k$, delete a minimum-weight set of edges so that the remaining graph has at least $k$ connected components. This problem is a natural generalization of the…
A subset $S$ of the vertices $V$ of a connected graph $G$ resolves $G$ if no two vertices of $V$ share the same list of distances (shortest-path metric) with respect to the vertices of $S$ listed in a given order. The choice of such an $S$…
