We describe the class of graphs for which all metric spaces with diametrical graphs belonging to this class are ultrametric. It is shown that a metric space $(X, d)$ is ultrametric iff the diametrical graph of the metric $d_{\varepsilon}(x,…

For any metric $d$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, an ($\mathbb{R}^2,d$)-geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is at most 1. If $d=\|.\|_{\infty}$, the metric…

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…

The \emph{metric dimension} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\dim(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its distances to the chosen vertices. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$…

A metric space $(X,d)$ is called a $subline$ if every 3-element subset $T$ of $X$ can be written as $T=\{x,y,z\}$ for some points $x,y,z$ such that $d(x,z)=d(x,y)+d(y,z)$. By a classical result of Menger, every subline of cardinality $\ne…

The $r$-flip-width of a graph, for $r\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{\infty\}$, is a graph parameter defined in terms of a variant of the cops and robber game, called the flipper game, and it was introduced by Toru\'{n}czyk (FOCS 2023). We prove that…

A set $R \subseteq V(G)$ is a resolving set of a graph $G$ if for all distinct vertices $v,u \in V(G)$ there exists an element $r \in R$ such that $d(r,v) \neq d(r,u)$. The metric dimension $\dim(G)$ of the graph $G$ is the minimum…

Given a finite directed graph with $n$ vertices, we define a metric $d_G$ on $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$ elements. The weight of a word is defined as the number of vertices that can be reached by a…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and m\in X. Suppose that \phi:X\times X\to\mathbold{R} is a nonnegative symmetric function. We define a metric d^{\phi,m} on X which is equivalent to d. If d^{\phi,m} is totally bounded, its completion is a…

Let $(X_1,d_1),\dots, (X_N,d_N)$ be metric spaces, where $d_i: X_i \times X_i \rightarrow [0,1]$ is a distance function for $i=1,\dots,N$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ denote the set theoretic product $X_1\times \cdots \times X_N$. Let $\mathcal{G} =…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w\in V$ distinguishes two elements (vertices or edges) $x,y\in E\cup V$ if $d_G(w,x)\ne d_G(w,y)$. A set $S$ of vertices in a connected graph $G$ is a mixed metric generator for $G$ if every two…

A graph is said to be equimatchable if all its maximal matchings are of the same size. In this work we introduce two extensions of the property of equimatchability by defining two new graph parameters that measure how far a graph is from…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, let $v\in V$ be a vertex and let $e=uw\in E$ be an edge. The distance between the vertex $v$ and the edge $e$ is given by $d_G(e,v)=\min\{d_G(u,v),d_G(w,v)\}$. A vertex $w\in V$ distinguishes two edges…

For an arbitrary set of distances $D\subseteq \{0,1, \ldots, diam(G)\}$, a $D$-weight of a vertex $x$ in a graph $G$ under a vertex labeling $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots , v\}$ is defined as $w_D(x)=\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y)$, where $N_D(x)…

In recent years, considerable advances have been made in the study of properties of metric spaces in terms of their doubling dimension. This line of research has not only enhanced our understanding of finite metrics, but has also resulted…

Given a connected graph $G$, the metric (resp. edge metric) dimension of $G$ is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely identifies every pair of distinct vertices (resp. edges) of $G$ by means of distance…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a connected graph. Given a vertex $v\in V$ and an edge $e=uw\in E$, the distance between $v$ and $e$ is defined as $d_G(e,v)=\min\{d_G(u,v),d_G(w,v)\}$. A nonempty set $S\subset V$ is an edge metric generator for $G$ if…

The d-measurement set of a graph is its set of possible squared edge lengths over all d-dimensional embeddings. In this note, we define a new notion of graph isomorphism called d-measurement isomorphism. Two graphs are d-measurement…

The study of combinatorial games is intimately tied to the study of graphs, as any game can be realized as a directed graph in which players take turns traversing the edges until reaching a sink. However, there have heretofore been few…

A realisation of a metric $d$ on a finite set $X$ is a weighted graph $(G,w)$ whose vertex set contains $X$ such that the shortest-path distance between elements of $X$ considered as vertices in $G$ is equal to $d$. Such a realisation…
