Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case in which such graphs are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. These groups can be constructed by…

An out-branching $B^+_u$ (in-branching $B^-_u$) in a digraph $D$ is a connected spanning subdigraph of $D$ in which every vertex except the vertex $u$, called the root, has in-degree (out-degree) one. It is well-known that there exists a…

We investigate the problem of drawing graphs in 2D and 3D such that their edges (or only their vertices) can be covered by few lines or planes. We insist on straight-line edges and crossing-free drawings. This problem has many connections…

A directed diameter of a directed graph is the maximum possible distance between a pair of vertices, where paths must respect edge orientations, while undirected diameter is the diameter of the undirected graph obtained by symmetrizing the…

The study of hypergraphs has received a lot of attention over the past few years, however up until recently there has been no interest in systems where higher order interactions are not undirected. In this article we introduce the notion of…

We introduce a new subclass of chordal graphs that generalizes split graphs, which we call well-partitioned chordal graphs. Split graphs are graphs that admit a partition of the vertex set into cliques that can be arranged in a star…

Semi-supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods often rely on graphs to model data, prompting research on how theoretical properties of operators on graphs are leveraged in learning problems. While most of the existing literature…

Highly-regular graphs can be regarded as a combinatorial generalization of distance-regular graphs. From this standpoint, we study combinatorial aspects of highly-regular graphs. As a result, we give the following three main results in this…

The segment number of a planar graph $G$ is the smallest number of line segments needed for a planar straight-line drawing of $G$. Dujmovi\'c, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood [CGTA'07] introduced this measure for the visual complexity of…

In 2006, Collins and Trenk obtained a general sharp upper bound for the distinguishing chromatic number of a connected graph. Inspired by Catlin's combinatorial techniques from 1978, we establish improved upper bounds for classes of…

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if any isomorphism between finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the digraph. We consider locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. In the case that…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general and convex position in the plane. Let $D_n$ be the graph whose vertex set is the set of all line segments with endpoints in $P$, where disjoint segments are adjacent. The chromatic number of this…

Constructions of directed configuration graphs based on a given bi-degree distribution were introduced in random graph theory some years ago. These constructions lead to graphs where the degrees of two nodes belonging to the same edge are…

A directed hypergraph is a hypergraph in which the vertex set of each hyperedge is partitioned into two disjoint parts, a head and a tail. Keszegh and P\'alv\"olgyi posed the following conjecture. Let $H$ be a directed hypergraph such that…

The triangle-degree of a vertex v of a simple graph G is the number of triangles in G that contain v. A simple graph is triangle-distinct if all its vertices have distinct triangle-degrees. Berikkyzy et al. [Discrete Math. 347 (2024)…

An oriented graph $D$ is converse invariant if, for any tournament $T$, the number of copies of $D$ in $T$ is equal to that of its converse $-D$. El Sahili and Ghazo Hanna [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023), 684-701] showed that any oriented graph…

For a digraph $D$ of order $n$ and an integer $1 \leq k \leq n-1$, the $k$-token digraph of $D$ is the graph whose vertices are all $k$-subsets of vertices of $D$ and, given two such $k$-subsets $A$ and $B$, $(A,B)$ is an arc in the…

A nut graph is a simple graph whose kernel is spanned by a single full vector (i.e. the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue and all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry). We classify generalisations of nut graphs to nut…

A contraction sequence of a graph consists of iteratively merging two of its vertices until only one vertex remains. The recently introduced twin-width graph invariant is based on contraction sequences. More precisely, if one puts red edges…
