Given a graph $G(V,E)$, a vertex subset $S$ of $G$ is called an open packing in $G$ if no pair of distinct vertices in $S$ have a common neighbour in $G$. The size of a largest open packing in $G$ is called the open packing number,…

A \emph{$k$-radius sequence} for a graph $G$ is a sequence of vertices of $G$ (typically with repetitions) such that for every edge $uv$ of $G$ vertices $u$ and $v$ appear at least once within distance $k$ in the sequence. The length of a…

The notion of resistance distance, introduced by Klein and Randi\'c, has become a fundamental concept in spectral graph theory and network analysis, as it captures both the structural and electrical properties of a graph. The associated…

A graph is said to be a Konig graph if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the size of its minimum vertex cover. The Konig Edge Deletion problem asks if in a given graph there exists a set of at most k edges whose deletion results…

Let $G$ be a complete edge-weighted graph on $n$ vertices. To each subset of vertices of $G$ assign the cost of the minimum spanning tree of the subset as its weight. Suppose that $n$ is a multiple of some fixed positive integer $k$. The…

The vertex set of the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is $V = \binom{[n]}{k}$ and two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding sets are disjoint. For any graph $F$, the largest size of a vertex set $U \subseteq V$ such that $K(n,k)[U]$ is $F$-free,…

The metric dimension of non-component graph, associated to a finite vector space, is determined. It is proved that the exchange property holds for resolving sets of the graph, except a special case. Some results are also related to an…

For an ordered subset $W = \{w_1, w_2,\dots w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $u$ in a connected graph $G$, the representation of $u$ with respect to $W$ is the ordered $k$-tuple $ r(u|W)=(d(v,w_1), d(v,w_2),\dots,$ $d(v,w_k))$, where…

A vertex $v\in V(G)$ is said to distinguish two vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ of a nontrivial connected graph $G$ if the distance from $v$ to $x$ is different from the distance from $v$ to $y$. A set $S\subset V(G)$ is a local metric generator for…

In the Split Vertex Deletion problem, given a graph G and an integer k, we ask whether one can delete k vertices from the graph G to obtain a split graph (i.e., a graph, whose vertex set can be partitioned into two sets: one inducing a…

Bhawalkar, Kleinberg, Lewi, Roughgarden, and Sharma [ICALP 2012] introduced the Anchored k-Core problem, where the task is for a given graph G and integers b, k, and p to find an induced subgraph H with at least p vertices (the core) such…

A knot in a directed graph $G$ is a strongly connected subgraph $Q$ of $G$ with at least two vertices, such that no vertex in $V(Q)$ is an in-neighbor of a vertex in $V(G)\setminus V(Q)$. Knots are important graph structures, because they…

The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…

Let $G = (V,w)$ be a weighted undirected graph with $m$ edges. The cut dimension of $G$ is the dimension of the span of the characteristic vectors of the minimum cuts of $G$, viewed as vectors in $\{0,1\}^m$. For every $n \ge 2$ we show…

A $(\delta\geq k_1,\delta\geq k_2)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a vertex-partition $(V_1,V_2)$ of $G$ satisfying that $\delta(G[V_i])\geq k_i$ for $i=1,2$. We determine, for all positive integers $k_1,k_2$, the complexity of deciding…

For a positive integer $k\ge 1$, a graph $G$ is $k$-stepwise irregular ($k$-SI graph) if the degrees of every pair of adjacent vertices differ by exactly $k$. Such graphs are necessarily bipartite. Using graph products it is demonstrated…

A multipacking in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $M\subseteq V$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$ and for every integer $r\geq 1$, the ball of radius $r$ around $v$ contains at most $r$ vertices of $M$, that is, there are at most…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected oriented graph with vertex-set $V$ and arc-set $A$. The distance from a vertex $u$ to another vertex $v$, $d(u,v)$ is the minimum length of oriented paths from $u$ to $v$. Suppose $B=\{b_1,b_2,b_3,...b_k\}$…

Every graph $G$ can be represented by a collection of equi-radii spheres in a $d$-dimensional metric $\Delta$ such that there is an edge $uv$ in $G$ if and only if the spheres corresponding to $u$ and $v$ intersect. The smallest integer $d$…

A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension $\mu(\Gamma)$ is the smallest size…
