Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…
Assume that a graph $G$ models a detection system for a facility with a possible "intruder," or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. We consider the problem of placing (the minimum number of) detectors at a…
We introduce and study the pinnacle sets of a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. Given a bijective vertex labeling $\lambda\,:\,V(G)\rightarrow [n]$, the label $\lambda(v)$ of vertex $v$ is a pinnacle of $(G, \lambda)$ if…
Given a graph $G$, the $k$-dominating graph of $G$, $D_k(G)$, is defined to be the graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of $G$ that have cardinality at most $k$. Two vertices in $D_k(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the…
In the literature, several different identification problems in graphs have been studied, the most widely studied such problems are the ones based on dominating sets as a tool of identification. Hereby, the objective is to separate any two…
A partition P of the vertex set of a connected graph G is a locating partition of G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the elements of P. The partition dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a…
A regular graph $G = (V,E)$ is an $(\varepsilon,\gamma)$ small-set expander if for any set of vertices of fractional size at most $\varepsilon$, at least $\gamma$ of the edges that are adjacent to it go outside. In this paper, we give a…
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…
The smallest set of vertices needed to differentiate or categorize every other vertex in a graph is referred to as the graph's metric dimension. Finding the class of graphs for a particular given metric dimension is an NP-hard problem. This…
A dominating set of a graph $\mathcal{G=(V, E)}$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq\mathcal{V}$ such that every vertex $v\in \mathcal{V} \setminus S$ outside the dominating set is adjacent to a vertex $u\in S$ within the set. The minimum…
A vertex $v$ is said to distinguish two other vertices $x$ and $y$ of a nontrivial connected graph G if the distance from $v$ to $x$ is different from the distance from $v$ to $y$. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a local metric set for $G$ if…
A partition $\Pi=\{S_1,\ldots,S_k\}$ of the vertex set of a connected graph $G$ is called a \emph{resolving partition} of $G$ if for every pair of vertices $u$ and $v$, $d(u,S_j)\neq d(v,S_j)$, for some part $S_j$. The \emph{partition…
A graph automorphism is a bijective mapping of the vertices that preserves adjacent vertices. A vertex determining set of a graph is a set of vertices such that the only automorphism that fixes those vertices is the identity. The size of a…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w\in V(G)$ 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…
Minimum resolution set and associated metric dimension provide the basis for unique and systematic labeling of nodes of a graph using distances to a set of landmarks. Such a distance vector set, however, may not be unique to the graph and…
A subset S of vertices of a graph G is called a k-path vertex cover if every path of order k in G contains at least one vertex from S. Denote by \psi_k(G) the minimum cardinality of a k-path vertex cover in G. It is shown that the problem…
Suppose that we are given two dominating sets $D_s$ and $D_t$ of a graph $G$ whose cardinalities are at most a given threshold $k$. Then, we are asked whether there exists a sequence of dominating sets of $G$ between $D_s$ and $D_t$ such…
In previous work, we determined the metric dimension for a direct product of three isomorphic complete graphs. Turning to the case where the complete graphs may have different orders, there are three families we refer to as the upper,…
A graph $G$ is $D$-distinguishable if there is a labeling of its vertices with $D$ labels such that the only automorphism of $G$ which preserves the labeling is the identity. The distinguishing number of $G$ is the minimum value $D$ for…
A connected graph $G$ with at least two vertices is matching covered if each of its edges lies in a perfect matching. A matching covered graph is minimal if the removal of any edge results in a graph that is no longer matching covered. An…
