Finding the number of maximal subgroups of infinite index of a finitely generated group is a natural problem that has been solved for several classes of `geometric' groups (linear groups, hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, etc). Here…

The Wiener index is maximized over the set of trees with the given vertex weight and degree sequences. This model covers the traditional "unweighed" Wiener index, the terminal Wiener index, and the vertex distance index. It is shown that…

The eccentricity of a vertex, $ecc_T(v) = \max_{u\in T} d_T(v,u)$, was one of the first, distance-based, tree invariants studied. The total eccentricity of a tree, $Ecc(T)$, is the sum of eccentricities of its vertices. We determine…

Recently, Behr introduced a notion of the chromatic index of signed graphs and proved that for every signed graph $(G$, $\sigma)$ it holds that \[ \Delta(G)\leq\chi'(G\text{, }\sigma)\leq\Delta(G)+1\text{,} \] where $\Delta(G)$ is the…

Let $G$ be a graph. Denote by $d_x$, $E(G)$, and $D(G)$ the degree of a vertex $x$ in $G$, the set of edges of $G$, and the degree set of $G$, respectively. This paper proposes to investigate (both from mathematical and applications points…

A cactus graph is a graph in which any two cycles are edge-disjoint. We present a constructive proof of the fact that any plane graph $G$ contains a cactus subgraph $C$ where $C$ contains at least a $\frac{1}{6}$ fraction of the triangular…

We show that the number of noncommensurable lattices, hence also that of maximal lattices in SO(1,n) is at least exponential. To do so we construct large families of noncommensurable hybrid hyperbolic (Gromov/Piatetski-Shapiro) manifolds.
