A graph G is intrinsically S^1-linked if for every embedding of the vertices of G into S^1, vertices that form the endpoints of two disjoint edges in G form a non-split link in the embedding. We show that a graph is intrinsically S^1-linked…

A graph drawing is $\textit{greedy}$ if, for every ordered pair of vertices $(x,y)$, there is a path from $x$ to $y$ such that the Euclidean distance to $y$ decreases monotonically at every vertex of the path. Greedy drawings support a…

A finite set $P$ of points in the plane is $n$-universal with respect to a class $\mathcal{C}$ of planar graphs if every $n$-vertex graph in $\mathcal{C}$ admits a crossing-free straight-line drawing with vertices at points of $P$. For the…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of straight-line segments in the plane, potentially crossing, and let $c$ be a positive integer. We denote by $P$ the union of the endpoints of the straight-line segments of $\mathcal{D}$ and of the intersection…

A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A well-covered graph $G$ is called uniformly well-covered if there is a partition of the set of vertices of $G$ such that each maximal…

In an edge-colored graph $(G,c)$, let $d^c(v)$ denote the number of colors on the edges incident with a vertex $v$ of $G$ and $\delta^c(G)$ denote the minimum value of $d^c(v)$ over all vertices $v\in V(G)$. A cycle of $(G,c)$ is called…

It is demonstrated that a C^1-unipotent map is globally equivalent to the linear translation T(x,y)=(x+1,y), if the map is fixed point free Similarly, it is proved not only that the fixed point set induced by a C^1-unipotent has no isolated…

Tutte showed that a graph $G$ is planar if and only if the conflict graph associated to every cycle of $G$ is bipartite. We define a (not necessarily unique) signed conflict graph associated to a maximally planar subgraph of a nonplanar…

A straight-line drawing of a graph is a monotone drawing if for each pair of vertices there is a path which is monotonically increasing in some direction, and it is called a strongly monotone drawing if the direction of monotonicity is…

We introduce the $k$-Plane Insertion into Plane drawing ($k$-PIP) problem: given a plane drawing of a planar graph $G$ and a set $F$ of edges, insert the edges in $F$ into the drawing such that the resulting drawing is $k$-plane. In this…

While orthogonal drawings have a long history, smooth orthogonal drawings have been introduced only recently. So far, only planar drawings or drawings with an arbitrary number of crossings per edge have been studied. Recently, a lot of…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree $T$ and two non-negative real numbers $d_{min}$ and $d_{max}$, $d_{min} \leq d_{max}$, such that each node $u \in V$ is uniquely associated to a…

Random planar graphs have been the subject of much recent work. Many basic properties of the standard uniform random planar graph P_{n}, by which we mean a graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of all planar graphs with vertex set…

An $r$-regular graph is an $r$-graph, if every odd set of vertices is connected to its complement by at least $r$ edges. Seymour [On multicolourings of cubic graphs, and conjectures of Fulkerson and Tutte.~\emph{Proc.~London…

The problem Cover(H) asks whether an input graph G covers a fixed graph H (i.e., whether there exists a homomorphism G to H which locally preserves the structure of the graphs). Complexity of this problem has been intensively studied. In…

Causal graph dynamics are transformations over graphs that capture two important symmetries of physics, namely causality and homogeneity. They can be equivalently defined as continuous and translation invariant transformations or functions…

Let $F$ and $G$ be simple finite oriented graphs (without symmetric arcs). A graph $G$ is called $F$-irregular if any two distinct vertices in $G$ belong to a different number of subgraphs of $G$ isomorphic to $F$. In this paper, we…

A graph admitting a perfect matching has the Perfect-Matching-Hamiltonian property (for short the PMH-property) if each of its perfect matchings can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. In this paper we establish some sufficient conditions…

A graph $G$ is $(c,t)$-sparse if for every pair of vertex subsets $A,B\subset V(G)$ with $|A|,|B|\geq t$, $e(A,B)\leq (1-c)|A||B|$. In this paper we prove that for every $c>0$ and integer $\ell$, there exists $C>1$ such that if an…

For a finite set $U$ of directions in the Euclidean plane, a convex non-degenerate polygon $P$ is called a $U$-polygon if every line parallel to a direction of $U$ that meets a vertex of $P$ also meets another vertex of $P$. We characterize…
