We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs from a computational point of view. A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is a graph $G$ where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative; $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$ denotes the set of negative edges.…

Signed graphs have their edges labeled either as positive or negative. $\rho(M)$ denote the $M$-spectral radius of $\Sigma$, where $M=M(\Sigma)$ is a real symmetric graph matrix of $\Sigma$. Obviously,…

We introduce a new graph-theoretic concept in the area of network monitoring. A set $M$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{distance-edge-monitoring set} if for every edge $e$ of $G$, there is a vertex $x$ of $M$ and a vertex $y$ of $G$…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are given (-1,+1) weights. In such a graph, the sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. A signed graph is called balanced if its adjacency matrix is similar to the adjacency matrix of…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph is a \emph{proper tree} if any two adjacent edges of $T$ are colored with different colors. Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and $k$ be a fixed integer with $2\leq k\leq n$. For a vertex set $S\subseteq…

A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…

Given a signed bipartite graph $(B, \pi)$ of negative girth $2k$, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for it to have the following property: each signed bipartite graph $(G, \sigma)$ whose negative girth is at least $2k$ and…

A good edge-labeling of a graph [Ara\'ujo, Cohen, Giroire, Havet, Discrete Appl. Math., forthcoming] is an assignment of numbers to the edges such that for no pair of vertices, there exist two non-decreasing paths. In this paper, we study…

A graph $G$ is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree $T$ and two non-negative real numbers $d_{min}$ and $d_{max}$ such that each leaf $l_u$ of $T$ corresponds to a vertex $u \in V$ and there is…

In this paper, we show that every $O(m)$-edge-connected simple graph $G$ of size divisible by $m$ with minimum degree at least $2^{O(m)}$ has an edge-decomposition into isomorphic copies of any given tree $T$ of size $m$. Moreover, the…

A graph is closed when its vertices have a labeling by $[n]$ such that the binomial edge ideal $J_G$ has a quadratic Gr\"{o}bner basis with respect to the lexicographic order induced by $x_1 > \cdots > x_n > y_1> \cdots > y_n$. In this…

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) <=…

For a given multigraph H, a graph G is H-linked, if |G| \geq |H| and for every injective map {\tau}: V (H) \rightarrow V (G), we can find internally disjoint paths in G, such that every edge from uv in H corresponds to a {\tau} (u) - {\tau}…

In this paper, we will give a structure theory for signed graphs with fixed smallest eigenvalue and investigate signed graphs with smallest eigenvalue greater than $-1-\sqrt{2}$. Given a real number $\lambda\leq -1$, we show that the…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$ with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, a subset $F$ of $E$ is called an $\emph{edge dominating set}$ (resp. a $\emph{total edge dominating set}$) if every edge in $E\backslash F$ (resp. in $E$) is adjacent to at…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. In this paper we characterize all trees with radius at most three…

Let D(G) be the smallest quantifier depth of a first order formula which is true for a graph G but false for any other non-isomorphic graph. This can be viewed as a measure for the first order descriptive complexity of G. We will show that…

A radio labeling of a graph $G$ is a mapping $f: V(G) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, \ldots\}$ such that $|f(u)-f(v)|\geq d + 1 - d(u,v)$ for every pair of distinct vertices $u, v$ of $G$, where $d$ is the diameter of $G$ and $d(u,v)$ the distance…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ on $n$ vertices is called a \textit{parity signed graph} if there is a bijective mapping $f \colon V(G) \rightarrow \{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ have same parity if $\sigma(uv)=1$, and opposite…
