The crossing number of a graph $G$ is the least number of crossings over all possible drawings of $G$. We present a structural characterization of graphs with crossing number one.
We perform an exhaustive search for the minimum 4-regular unit distance graph resulting in a lower bound of 34 vertices.
The simplex graph $S(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the cliques of $G$ (including the empty set), with two vertices being adjacent if, as cliques of $G$, they differ in exactly one vertex. Simplex graphs form…
We define an analogue of the shortest-path distance for graphons. The proposed method is rooted on the extension to graphons of Varadhan's formula, a result that links the solution of the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold to its…
In this paper, it has been shown that the generalized Petersen graph $\mathrm {GP}(8,3)$, also known as the M\"obius-Kantor graph, admits a faithful unit-distance representation in the plane.
Given a graph $G$ cellularly embedded on a surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g$, a cut graph is a subgraph of $G$ such that cutting $\Sigma$ along $G$ yields a topological disk. We provide a fixed parameter tractable approximation scheme for the…
A cyclic subgroup graph of a group $G$ is a graph whose vertices are cyclic subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H_1$ and $H_2$ are adjacent if $H_1\leq H_2$, and there is no subgroup $K$ such that $H_1<K<H_2$. M.T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu…
An $\textit{isometric path}$ is a shortest path between two vertices. An $\textit{isometric path partition}$ (IPP) of a graph $G$ is a set $I$ of vertex-disjoint isometric paths in $G$ that partition the vertices of $G$. The…
Graphs derived from groups are a widely studied class of graphs, motivated by their highly symmetric structure. In particular, G-graphs offer an easy and interesting alternative construction of semi-symmetric graphs. After recalling the…
The generalized distance spectral radius of a connected graph $G$ is the spectral radius of the generalized distance matrix of $G$, defined by $$D_\alpha(G)=\alpha Tr(G)+(1-\alpha)D(G), \;\;0\le\alpha \le 1,$$ where $D(G)$ and $Tr(G)$…
We show that, up to minor-equivalence, the Farey graph is the unique minor-minimal graph that is infinitely edge-connected but such that every two vertices can be finitely separated.
We give a new, simple proof for the lower bound of the chromatic number of the Euclidean plane with two forbidden distances, based on a graph with only 16 vertices.
The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…
The circumference denoted by $c(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the length of its longest cycle. Let $\delta(G)$ and $\omega(G)$ denote the minimum degree and the clique number of a graph $G$, respectively. In [\emph{Electron. J. Combin.} 31(4)(2024)…
A drawing of a graph in the plane is called 1-planar if each edge is crossed at most once. A graph together with a 1-planar drawing is a 1-plane graph. A 1-plane graph $G$ with exactly $4|V (G)|-8$ edges is called optimal. The crossing…
The Harborth graph is the smallest known example of a 4-regular planar unit-distance graph. In this paper we give an analytical description of the coordinates of its vertices for a particular embedding in the Euclidean plane. More…
A unit cube in $k$ dimensions ($k$-cube) is defined as the the Cartesian product $R_1\times R_2\times...\times R_k$ where $R_i$(for $1\leq i\leq k$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i,a_i+1]$ on the real line. A graph $G$ on $n$ nodes…
The degree set of a finite simple graph $G$ is the set of distinct degrees of vertices of $G$. A theorem of Kapoor, Polimeni & Wall asserts that the least order of a graph with a given degree set $\mathscr D$ is $1+\max \mathscr D$.…
Two vertices of an odd-distance graph are connected by an edge if and only if their Euclidean distance is an odd integer. We construct a 6-chromatic odd-distance graph in the plane.
The reverse degree distance is a connected graph invariant closely related to the degree distance proposed in mathematical chemistry. We determine the unicyclic graphs of given girth, number of pendant vertices and maximum degree,…
