The ring of graph invariants is spanned by the basic graph invariants which calculate the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph in other graphs. These subgraphs counting invariants are not algebraically independent. In our view…

The general position problem for graphs asks for the largest number of vertices in a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ of a graph $G$ such that for any $u,v \in S$ and any shortest $u,v$-path $P$ we have $S \cap V(P) = \{ u,v\} $, whereas the…

The concept of mutual-visibility (MV) has been extended in several directions. A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G$ is a $k$-distance mutual-visibility ($k$DMV) set if for any two vertices in $S$, there is a geodesic between them of length at…

A graph $G$ is a \emph{max point-tolerance (MPT)} graph if each vertex $v$ of $G$ can be mapped to a \emph{pointed-interval} $(I_v, p_v)$ where $I_v$ is an interval of $\mathbb{R}$ and $p_v \in I_v$ such that $uv$ is an edge of $G$ iff $I_u…

For a graph $G=(V,E),$ a matching $M$ is a set of independent edges. The topic of matchings is well studied in graph theory. In this paper many varieties of matchings are discussed.

We consider the problem of determining if a pair of undirected graphs $\langle G_\mathsf{V}, G_\mathsf{H} \rangle$, which share the same vertex set, has a representation using opaque geometric shapes for vertices, and vertical/horizontal…

Let $X$ be a vertex subset of a graph $G$. Then $u, v\in V(G)$ are $X$-positionable if $V(P)\cap X \subseteq \{u,v\}$ holds for any shortest $u,v$-path $P$. If each two vertices from $X$ are $X$-positionable, then $X$ is a general position…

The independent set on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset of $V$ such that no two vertices in the subset have an edge between them. The MIS problem on $G$ seeks to identify an independent set with maximum cardinality, i.e. maximum independent…

In this paper we generalise the notion of visibility from a point in an integer lattice to the setting of graph theory. For a vertex $x$ of a connected graph $G$, we say that a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is an \emph{$x$-position set} if for any…

Presented approach in polynomial time calculates large number of invariants for each vertex, which won't change with graph isomorphism and should fully determine the graph. For example numbers of closed paths of length k for given starting…

If $x\in V(G)$, then $S\subseteq V(G)\setminus\{x\}$ is an $x$-visibility set if for any $y\in S$ there exists a shortest $x,y$-path avoiding $S$. The $x$-visibility number $v_x(G)$ is the maximum cardinality of an $x$-visibility set, and…

Given a set of nonempty subsets of some universal set, their intersection graph is defined as the graph with one vertex for each set and two vertices are adjacent precisely when their representing sets have non-empty intersection. Sometimes…

Suppose $G$ is a undirected simple graph. A $k-$subset of edges in $G$ without common vertices is called a $k-$matching and the number of such subsets is denoted by $p(G,k)$. The aim of this paper is to present exact formulas for $p(G,3)$,…

In this paper we show that it can be decided in polynomial time whether or not the visibility graph of a given point set is 4-colourable, and such a 4-colouring, if it exists, can also be constructed in polynomial time. We show that the…

A long-standing question is what invariant sets can be shared by two maps acting on the same space. A similar question stands for invariant measures. A particular interesting case are expanding Markov maps of the circle. If the two involved…

A \textit{$t$-unit-bar representation} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of sets of at most $t$ horizontal unit-length segments in the plane to the vertices of $G$ so that (1) all of the segments are pairwise nonintersecting, and (2) two…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph where $V$ and $E$ are the vertex and edge set, respectively. For two disjoint subsets $A$ and $B$, we say $A$ dominates $B$ if every vertex of $B$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $A$. A vertex partition $\pi…

A $t$-bar visibility representation of a graph assigns each vertex up to $t$ horizontal bars in the plane so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if some bar for one vertex can see some bar for the other via an unobstructed vertical…
