A graph $H$ is an \emph{isometric} subgraph of $G$ if $d_H(u,v)= d_G(u,v)$, for every pair~$u,v\in V(H)$. A graph is \emph{distance preserving} if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A graph is \emph{sequentially distance…
Hopping cyclic codes (HCCs) are (non-linear) cyclic codes with the additional property that the $n$ cyclic shifts of every given codeword are all distinct, where $n$ is the code length. Constant weight binary hopping cyclic codes are also…
Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph $G$, a \emph{pebbling move} removes two pebbles from some vertex and places one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The \emph{pebbling number} of a graph $G$ is the smallest…
Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…
We study fundamental graph parameters such as the Diameter and Radius in directed graphs, when distances are measured using a somewhat unorthodox but natural measure: the distance between $u$ and $v$ is the minimum of the shortest path…
In this paper, we study the edge eigenvalues of random geometric graphs (RGGs) generated by multivariate Gaussian samples in the sparse regime under a broad class of distance metrics. Previous work on edge eigenvalues under related setups…

A geometric graph is a combinatorial graph, endowed with a geometry that is inherited from its embedding in a Euclidean space. Formulation of a meaningful measure of (dis-)similarity in both the combinatorial and geometric structures of two…
Let ${\cal G}$ be a minor-closed graph class and let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. We say that $G$ is a $k$-apex of ${\cal G}$ if $G$ contains a set $S$ of at most $k$ vertices such that $G\setminus S$ belongs to ${\cal G}$. Our first result…
We analyze site percolation on directed and undirected graphs with site-dependent open-site probabilities. We construct upper bounds on cluster susceptibilities, vertex connectivity functions, and the expected number of simple open cycles…
In this paper, we show that given a weighted, directed planar graph $G$, and any $\epsilon >0$, there exists a polynomial time and $O(n^{\frac{1}{2}+\epsilon})$ space algorithm that computes the shortest path between two fixed vertices in…

Given a graph $G$ then a subgraph $H$ is $isometric$ if, for every pair of vertices $u,v$ of $H$, we have $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$. We say a graph $G$ is $distance\ preserving\ (dp)$ if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order up…
The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph $G = (V, E)$ and a subset of $k$ terminals $K \subset V$, there is a polynomial time algorithm to construct a graph $H = (K, E_H)$ on just…
A new class of distances for graph vertices is proposed. This class contains parametric families of distances which reduce to the shortest-path, weighted shortest-path, and the resistance distances at the limiting values of the family…
