In trying to generalize the classic Sylvester-Gallai theorem and De Bruijn-Erd\H{o}s theorem in plane geometry, lines and closure lines were previously defined for metric spaces and hypergraphs. Both definitions do not obey the geometric…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a connected graph $G$ is a distance-equalizer set if for every two distinct vertices $x, y \in V (G) \setminus S$ there is a vertex $w \in S$ such that the distances from $x$ and $y$ to $w$ are the same. The…

A connected subgraph of a graph is isometric if it preserves distances. In this short note, we provide counterexamples to several variants of the following general question: When a graph $G$ is edge covered by connected isometric subgraphs…

Vertex integrity is a graph parameter that measures the connectivity of a graph. Informally, its meaning is that a graph has small vertex integrity if it has a small separator whose removal disconnects the graph into connected components…

We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We study the complexity for graph width parameters for which the ordinary problems…

The metric (resp. edge metric) dimension of a simple connected graph $G$, denoted by dim$(G)$ (resp. edim$(G)$), is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ for which every two distinct vertices (resp. edges) in $G$…

This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a solution satisfying certain non-negativity constraints to a linear system of equations. Importantly and in contrast to some prior work, we allow all parameters in the system…

Similarity search is an important problem in information retrieval. This similarity is based on a distance. Symbolic representation of time series has attracted many researchers recently, since it reduces the dimensionality of these high…
