Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. A set $S\subseteq X$ is said to be a $k$-metric generator for $X$ if and only if for any pair of different points $u,v\in X$, there exist at least $k$ points $w_1,w_2, \ldots w_k\in S$ such that $d(u,w_i)\ne…

A set W \subseteq V (G) is called a resolving set, if for each pair of distinct vertices u,v \in V (G) there exists t \in W such that d(u,t) \neq d(v,t), where d(x,y) is the distance between vertices x and y. The cardinality of a minimum…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a \emph{$k$-threshold graph} with \emph{thresholds} $\theta_1<\theta_2<...<\theta_k$ if we can assign a real number $r(v)$ to each vertex $v\in V$, such that for any $u,v\in V$, we have $uv\in E$ if and only if…

We show that if the degree sequence of a graph $G$ is close in $\ell_1$-distance to a given realizable degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$, then $G$ is close in edit distance to a graph with degree sequence $(d_1,\dots,d_n)$. We then use this…

A finite, simple and undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges is said to be a $k$-geometric mean graph for a positive integer $k$ if there is an injection $\psi :V(G)\to \{k,k+1,\dots,k+q\}$ such that, when each edge…

The $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman procedure ($k$-WL), which colors $k$-tuples of vertices in rounds based on the neighborhood structure in the graph, has proven to be immensely fruitful in the algorithmic study of Graph Isomorphism. More…

For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the \emph{Steiner distance} $d_G(S)$ among the vertices of $S$ is the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain $S$. Let $n$ and $k$ be two…

Let k be a natural number. Let G be a graph and let N_1,...,N_k be k independent sets in G. The graph G is k-probe distance hereditary if G can be embedded into a DH-graph by adding edges between vertices that are contained in the same…

A fractional matching of $G$ is a function $f: E(G)\to [0,1]$ such that $\sum_{e\in E_G(v_i)}f(e)\le 1$ for any $v_i\in V(G)$, where $E_G(v_i)=\{e: e\in E(G) \ \textrm{and}\ e \ \textrm{is incident with} \ v_i\}$. Let $\alpha_f(G)$ denote…

The $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm ($k$-WL) is a fruitful approach to the Graph Isomorphism problem. 2-WL corresponds to the original algorithm suggested by Weisfeiler and Leman over 50 years ago. 1-WL is the classical color…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a set $D\subseteq V$ is called a \emph{disjunctive dominating set} of $G$ if for every vertex $v\in V\setminus D$, $v$ is either adjacent to a vertex of $D$ or has at least two vertices in $D$ at distance $2$ from it.…

Given a graph $G$, a subgraph $H$ is isometric if $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$ for every pair $u,v\in V(H)$, where $d$ is the distance function. A graph $G$ is distance preserving (dp) if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A…

A graph $X$ is said to be {\it distance--balanced} if for any edge $uv$ of $X$, the number of vertices closer to $u$ than to $v$ is equal to the number of vertices closer to $v$ than to $u$. A graph $X$ is said to be {\it strongly…

A $k$-antimagic labeling of a graph $G$ is an injection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\dots,|E(G)|+k\}$ such that all vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex sum at vertex $u$ is the sum of the labels assigned to edges incident to $u$.…

Let G be a graph with n vertices, and let k be an integer dividing n. G is said to be strongly k-colorable if for every partition of V(G) into disjoint sets V_1 \cup ... \cup V_r, all of size exactly k, there exists a proper vertex…

A $k$-edge-colored graph is a finite, simple graph with edges labeled by numbers $1,\ldots,k$. A function from the vertex set of one $k$-edge-colored graph to another is a homomorphism if the endpoints of any edge are mapped to two…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. Given an ordered set $W = \{w_1, w_2,\dots w_k\}\subseteq V(G)$ and a vertex $u\in V(G)$, the representation of $u$ with respect to $W$ is the ordered $k$-tuple $(d(u,w_1), d(u,w_2),\dots,$ $d(u,w_k))$, where…

A graph $G$ is called uniquely k-list colorable (U$k$LC) if there exists a list of colors on its vertices, say $L=\lbrace S_v \mid v \in V(G) \rbrace $, each of size $k$, such that there is a unique proper list coloring of $G$ from this…

Distance-hereditary graphs form an important class of graphs, from the theoretical point of view, due to the fact that they are the totally decomposable graphs for the split-decomposition. The previous best enumerative result for these…

The problem of Distance Edge Labeling is a variant of Distance Vertex Labeling (also known as $L_{2,1}$ labeling) that has been studied for more than twenty years and has many applications, such as frequency assignment. The Distance Edge…
