The general position problem in graphs is to find the maximum number of vertices that can be selected such that no three vertices lie on a common shortest path. The mutual-visibility problem in graphs is to find the maximum number of…

In this paper, connections between independent sets and the variety of mutual-visibility sets are studied. It is proved that every outer mutual-visibility set of a graph is independent if and only if the graph is distance edge-critical.…

Given a graph $G$, a mutual-visibility coloring of $G$ is introduced as follows. We color two vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ with a same color, if there is a shortest $x,y$-path whose internal vertices have different colors than $x,y$. The smallest…

Let $G$ be a graph and $X\subseteq V(G)$. Then, vertices $x$ and $y$ of $G$ are $X$-visible if there exists a shortest $u,v$-path where no internal vertices belong to $X$. The set $X$ is a mutual-visibility set of $G$ if every two vertices…

If $G$ is a graph and $X\subseteq V(G)$, then $X$ is a total mutual-visibility set if every pair of vertices $x$ and $y$ of $G$ admits a shortest $x,y$-path $P$ with $V(P) \cap X \subseteq \{x,y\}$. The cardinality of a largest total…

Given a connected graph $G$, the total mutual-visibility number of $G$, denoted $\mu_t(G)$, is the cardinality of a largest set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that for every pair of vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ there is a shortest $x,y$-path whose…

The \emph{general position problem} in graphs asks for a largest set of vertices in which no three lie on a common shortest path. The \emph{mutual-visibility problem} seeks a largest set of vertices such that every pair is connected by a…

A subset $M$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a mutual-visibility set if any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $M$ ``see'' each other in $G$, that is, there exists a shortest $u,v$-path in $G$ that contains no elements of $M$ as internal vertices.…

The study of mutual visibility has traditionally focused on undirected graphs, asking for the maximum number of vertices that can communicate via shortest paths without intermediate interference from other set members. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we present a complete characterization of mutual-visibility sets in trees. It is shown that a subset $S$ is a mutual-visibility set of a tree $T$ if and only if it coincides with the set of leaves of the Steiner subtree…

A point visibility graph is a graph induced by a set of points in the plane, where every vertex corresponds to a point, and two vertices are adjacent whenever the two corresponding points are visible from each other, that is, the open…

We study unit disk visibility graphs, where the visibility relation between a pair of geometric entities is defined by not only obstacles, but also the distance between them. That is, two entities are not mutually visible if they are too…

The variety of mutual-visibility problems contains four members, as does the variety of general position problems. The basic problem is to determine the cardinality of the largest such sets. In this paper, these eight invariants are…

The concept of mutual visibility in a graph encodes combinatorial information about vertex subsets with prescribed visibility properties and serves as a useful algebraic invariant. In this paper, we derive algebraic conditions for the…

Although NP-Complete problems are the most difficult decisional problems, it is possible to discover in them polynomial (or easy) observables. We study the Graph Partitioning Problem showing that it is possible to recognize in it two…

Networks are often modeled using graphs, and within this setting we introduce the notion of $k$-fault-tolerant mutual visibility. Informally, a set of vertices $X \subseteq V(G)$ in a graph $G$ is a $k$-fault-tolerant mutual-visibility set…

A subset $M$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a mutual-visibility set if for any two vertices $u,v\in{M}$ there exists a shortest $u$-$v$ path in $G$ that contains no elements of $M$ as internal vertices. Let $\chi_{\mu}(G)$ be the least…

Given a graph $G$, a subset $M\subseteq V(G)$ is a mutual-visibility (MV) set if for every $u,v\in M$, there exists a $u,v$-geodesic whose internal vertices are not in $M$. We investigate proper vertex colorings of graphs whose color…

In multiagent systems, effective coordination, coverage, and communication often rely on the concept of visibility between agents or nodes within the system. Graph-theoretically, for any subset $X$ of vertices of a graph $G$, two vertices…
