A connected graph $\G$ is called {\em nicely distance--balanced}, whenever there exists a positive integer $\gamma=\gamma(\G)$, such that for any two adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ there are exactly $\gamma$ vertices of $\G$ which are…

We give a characterization of distance--preserving subgraphs of Johnson graphs, i.e. of graphs which are isometrically embeddable into Johnson graphs (the Johnson graph $J(m,\Lambda)$ has the subsets of cardinality $m$ of a set $\Lambda$ as…

An almost self-centered graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-2$ central vertices, and an almost peripheral graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-1$ peripheral vertices. We determine (1) the maximum girth…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected vertex-transitive cubic graph, then either $|V\Gamma| \le 90$, or $\Gamma$ is a split Praeger--Xu graph, or there exist two vertices $\alpha$ and $\beta$ such that the identity is the only…

This paper considers minimum-dimensional representations of graphs in pseudo-Euclidean spaces, where adjacency and non-adjacency relations are reflected in fixed scalar square values. A representation of a simple graph $(V,E)$ is a mapping…

A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of disks of equal radii in the plane. The class of unit disk graphs is hereditary, and therefore admits a characterization in terms of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In spite of quite active…

A split graph is a graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and an independent set. A split comparability graph is a split graph which is transitively orientable. In this work, we characterize split comparability graphs in…

For $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, positive integer $n$, and $d > 0$, let $G(S^n, d)$ be the graph whose vertex set is $S^n$ where any two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are Euclidean distance $d$ apart. The primary question we will…

For a clique cover $C$ in the undirected graph $G$, the {\it clique cover graph} of $C$ is the graph obtained by contracting the vertices of each clique in $C$ into a single vertex. The {\it clique cover width} of $G$, denoted by $CCW(G)$,…

A geometric graph, $\overline{G}$, is a graph drawn in the plane, with straight line edges and vertices in general position. A geometric homomorphism between two geometric graphs $\overline{G}$, $\overline{H}$ is a vertex map…

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…

We consider a variant of metrised graphs where the edge lengths take values in a commutative monoid, as a higher-rank generalisation of the notion of a tropical curve. Divisorial gonality, which Baker and Norine defined on combinatorial…

Given a connected graph $G$, the equidistant dimension of $G$ represents the cardinality of the smallest set of vertices $S$ of $G$ such that for any two vertices $x,y\notin S$ there is at least one vertex in $S$ equidistant to both $x,y$…

A graph in a certain graph class is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph attains the minimum among all graphs in that class. Bell {\it et al.} have characterized the minimizing graphs in the class…

The metric dimension, $\dim(G)$, of a graph $G$ is a graph parameter motivated by robot navigation that has been studied extensively. Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$, and let $d(x,y)$ denote the length of a shortest $x-y$ path in…

Quasi-isometry is a measure of how similar two graphs are at `large-scale'. Nguyen, Scott, and Seymour [arXiv:2501.09839] and Hickingbotham [arXiv:2501.10840] independently gave a characterisation of graphs quasi-isometric to graphs of…
