The metric dimension of a graph G is the minimum size of a subset S of vertices of G such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in S. In this paper we investigate the metric dimension for two…

The metric dimension of a graph is the size of the smallest set of vertices whose distances distinguish all pairs of vertices in the graph. We show that this graph invariant may be calculated by an algorithm whose running time is linear in…

Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph, denote by d_E(u,v) their Euclidean distance and by d_G(u,v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on d_G(u,v) in terms of d_E(u,v) has received a lot of attention…

Genetic sequencing has become an increasingly affordable and accessible source of genomic data in computational biology. This data is often represented as $k$-mers, i.e., strings of some fixed length $k$ with symbols chosen from a reference…

A vertex $w$ of a connected graph $G$ strongly resolves two vertices $u,v\in V(G)$, if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $S$ of vertices is a strong metric generator for…

The vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of a connected graph G; denoted by dim(G) (resp. edim(G)), is defined as the size of a smallest set S in V (G) which distinguishes all pairs of vertices (resp. edges) in G: Bounds dim(G) <=…

Metric dimension is a graph parameter that has been applied to robot navigation and finding low-dimensional vector embeddings. Throttling entails minimizing the sum of two available resources when solving certain graph problems. In this…

When does a graph admit a tree-decomposition in which every bag has small diameter? For finite graphs, this is a property of interest in algorithmic graph theory, where it is called having bounded ``tree-length''. We will show that this is…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. For an ordered $k$-partition $\Pi=\{Q_1,\ldots,Q_k\}$ of $V(G)$, the representation of a vertex $v \in V(G)$ with respect to $\Pi$ is the $k$-vectors…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph. The distance between two vertices $u,v\in V$, denoted by $d(u, v)$, is the length of a shortest $u-v$ path in $G$. The distance between a vertex $v\in V$ and a subset $P\subset V$ is defined as $min\{d(v,…
