An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing, if the only automorphism which preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing…

For vertex and edge connectivity we construct infinitely many pairs of regular graphs with the same spectrum, but with different connectivity.

The quadrance between two points A_1=(x_1, y_1) and A_2=(x_2, y_2) is the number Q (A_1, A_2) = (x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2. Let q be an odd prime power and F_q be the finite field with $q$ elements. The unit-quadrance graph D_q has the…

We introduce a new class of countably infinite random geometric graphs, whose vertices are points in a metric space, and vertices are adjacent independently with probability p if the metric distance between the vertices is below a given…

An $\epsilon$-distance-uniform graph is one in which from every vertex, all but an $\epsilon$-fraction of the remaining vertices are at some fixed distance $d$, called the critical distance. We consider the maximum possible value of $d$ in…

A coloring of edges of a graph $G$ is injective if for any two distinct edges $e_1$ and $e_2$, the colors of $e_1$ and $e_2$ are distinct if they are at distance $1$ in $G$ or in a common triangle. Naturally, the injective chromatic index…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$. The distance, $d_G(u,v)$, between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is defined as the length of a shortest path between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The distance matrix of $G$ is the matrix…

A graph is called (generically) rigid in R^d if, for any choice of sufficiently generic edge lengths, it can be embedded in R^d in a finite number of distinct ways, modulo rigid transformations. Here, we deal with the problem of determining…

A distance graph is an undirected graph on the integers where two integers are adjacent if their difference is in a prescribed distance set. The independence ratio of a distance graph $G$ is the maximum density of an independent set in $G$.…

For $d > 0$, define $G(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ to be the graph whose set of vertices is the rational space $\mathbb{Q}^3$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are a Euclidean distance $d$ apart. Let $\chi(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ be the…

Classification of planar unit-distance graphs with up to 9 edges, by homeomorphism and isomorphism classes. With exactly nine edges, there are 633 nonisomorphic connected matchstick graphs, of which 196 are topologically distinct from each…

In this paper we study the randomly edge colored graph that is obtained by adding randomly colored random edges to an arbitrary randomly edge colored dense graph. In particular we ask how many colors and how many random edges are needed so…

A vertex coloring of a given simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with $k$ colors ($k$-coloring) is a map from its vertex set to the set of integers $\{1,2,3,\dots, k\}$. A coloring is called perfect if the multiset of colors appearing on the neighbours…

We say a proper coloring of a graph is distance-$k$ fall if every vertex is within distance $k$ of at least one vertex of every color. We show that if $G$ is a connected graph of order at least $3$ that is $3$-colorable, thenit has a…

Call {\em i-hedrite} any 4-valent n-vertex plane graph, whose faces are 2-, 3- and 4-gons only and $p_2+p_3=i$. The edges of an i-hedrite, as of any Eulerian plane graph, are partitioned by its {\em central circuits}, i.e. those, which are…

In this paper we find chromatic numbers of distance graphs $G(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many n. Also we improve upper bound for $\chi(G(n,r,s))$ in large part of cases.

For a fixed positive integer $t$, we consider the graph colouring problem in which edges at distance at most $t$ are given distinct colours. We obtain sharp lower bounds for the distance-$t$ chromatic index, the least number of colours…

In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) (resp. E(G)) is called the vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of G. In [16] it was shown that both vertex and edge metric…

A graph G=(V,E) is called a unit-distance graph in the plane if there is an injective embedding of V in the plane such that every pair of adjacent vertices are at unit distance apart. If additionally the corresponding edges are non-crossing…

A Meyniel obstruction is an odd cycle with at least five vertices and at most one chord. A graph is Meyniel if and only if it has no Meyniel obstruction as an induced subgraph. Here we give a O(n^2) algorithm that, for any graph, finds…
