The general position number ${\rm gp}(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest set $S$ of vertices such that no three pairwise distinct vertices from $S$ lie on a common geodesic. The $n$-dimensional grid graph $\pn$ is…

Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs and let $f \colon V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ be a function. The Sierpi\'{n}ski product of $G$ and $H$ with respect to $f$, denoted by $G \otimes _f H$, is defined as the graph on the vertex set $V(G)\times V(H)$,…

We consider the following variants of the classical minimum dominating set problem in graphs: locating-dominating set, locating total-dominating set and open locating-dominating set. All these problems are known to be hard for general…

A set of vertices of a graph is said to be in general position if no three vertices from the set lie on a common geodesic. Recently Klav\v{z}ar, Rall and Yero generalized this notion by defining a set of vertices to be in general…

A subset $R\subseteq V(G)$ of a graph $G$ is a general position set if any triple set $R_0$ of $R$ is non-geodesic in $G$, that is, no vertex of $R_0$ lies on any geodesic between the other two vertices of $R_0$ in $G$. Let $\mathcal{R}$ be…

Outer, dual, and total general position sets are studied on strong and lexicographic products of graphs. Sharp lower and upper bounds are proved for the outer and the dual general position number of strong products and several exact values…

This paper deals with some of the algebraic properties of Sierpi\'nski graphs and a family of regular generalized Sierpi\'nski graphs. For the family of regular generalized Sierpi\'nski graphs, we obtain their spectrum and characterize…

The strong geodetic problem is a recent variation of the geodetic problem. For a graph $G$, its strong geodetic number ${\rm sg}(G)$ is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset $S$, such that each vertex of $G$ lies on a fixed shortest…

Let $G$ be a graph. Assume that to each vertex of a set of vertices $S\subseteq V(G)$ a robot is assigned. At each stage one robot can move to a neighbouring vertex. Then $S$ is a mobile general position set of $G$ if there exists a…

The Hurewicz property is a classical generalization of $\sigma$-compactness and Sierpi\'nski sets (whose existence follows from CH) are standard examples of non-$\sigma$-compact Hurewicz spaces. We show, solving a problem stated by Szewczak…

A map $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ is a Roman dominating function on a graph $G=(V,E)$ if for every vertex $v\in V$ with $f(v) = 0$, there exists a vertex $u$, adjacent to $v$, such that $f(u) = 2$. The weight of a Roman dominating…

A subset $S$ of a vertex set of a graph $G$ is a total $(k,r)$-dominating set if every vertex $u \in V(G)$ is within distance $k$ of at least $r$ vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality among all total $(k,r)$-dominating sets of $G$ is…

We introduce what we call `generalized higher rank $k$-graphs' as a class of categories equipped with a notion of size. They extend not only the higher rank $k$-graphs, but also the Levi categories introduced by the first author as a…

Given a graph $G$, the general position problem is to find a largest set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that no three vertices of $S$ lie on a common geodesic. Such a set is called a ${\rm gp}$-$set$ of $G$ and its cardinality is the ${\rm…

In this paper we generalise the notion of visibility from a point in an integer lattice to the setting of graph theory. For a vertex $x$ of a connected graph $G$, we say that a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is an \emph{$x$-position set} if for any…
