Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C*-algebra associated to the directed graph. In this paper we give intrinsic constructions of these objects. We provide an explicit construction for the maximal…
A graph $G$ is antimagic if there exists a bijection $f$ from $E(G)$ to $\left\{1,2, \dots,|E(G)|\right\}$ such that the vertex sums for all vertices of $G$ are distinct, where the vertex sum is defined as the sum of the labels of all…
The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…
For every $n\in\mathbb N$ we construct a finite graph $G$ such that every orientation $\vec G$ of $G$ contains an isometric copy of any oriented tree on $n$ vertices, and evaluate the smallest possible cardinality of $G$. On the other hand,…
Thomas proved that every undirected graph admits a linked tree decomposition of width equal to its treewidth. In this paper, we generalize Thomas's theorem to digraphs. We prove that every digraph G admits a linked directed path…
We consider the problem of extending the drawing of a subgraph of a given plane graph to a drawing of the entire graph using straight-line and polyline edges. We define the notion of star complexity of a polygon and show that a drawing…
End-spaces of infinite graphs naturally generalise the Freudenthal boundary and sit at the interface between graph theory, geometric group theory and topology. Our main result is that every end-space can topologically be represented by a…
We characterize the class of infinite connected graphs $ G $ for which there exists a $ T $-join for any choice of an infinite $ T \subseteq V(G) $. We also show that the following well-known fact remains true in the infinite case. If $ G $…
In this paper, we characterize the class of {\em contraction perfect} graphs which are the graphs that remain perfect after the contraction of any edge set. We prove that a graph is contraction perfect if and only if it is perfect and the…
A labeling of a digraph $D$ with $m$ arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of $D$ to $\{1, \ldots, m\}$. A labeling of $D$ is antimagic if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u\in V(D)$ for…
Halin proved that every graph with an end $\omega$ containing infinitely many pairwise disjoint rays admits a subdivision of the infinite quarter-grid as a subgraph where all rays from that subgraph belong to $\omega$. We will prove a…
A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, ordinary star-like self-contained graphs are introduced and it is shown that every ordinary star-like self-contained…
We show that every graph admits a canonical tree-like decomposition into its $k$-edge-connected pieces for all $k\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ simultaneously.
Given a digraph $D$ with $m $ arcs, a bijection $\tau: A(D)\rightarrow \{1, 2, \ldots, m\}$ is an antimagic labeling of $D$ if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u $ in $D$ under $\tau$ is the…
The directions of an infinite graph $G$ are a tangle-like description of its ends: they are choice functions that choose compatibly for all finite vertex sets $X\subseteq V(G)$ a component of $G-X$. Although every direction is induced by a…
Every end of an infinite graph $ G $ defines a tangle of infinite order in $ G $. These tangles indicate a highly cohesive substructure in the graph if and only if they are closed in some natural topology. We characterize, for every finite…
Let $G$ be a graph. A total dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex in $G$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Recently, the following question was proposed: "Is it true that every connected cubic…
Let $m\ge 1$ be an integer and $G$ be a graph with $m$ edges. We say that $G$ has an antimagic orientation if $G$ has an orientation $D$ and a bijection $\tau:A(D)\rightarrow \{1,2,\cdots,m\}$ such that no two vertices in $D$ have the same…
Many of the tools developed for the theory of tree-decompositions of graphs do not work for directed graphs. In this paper we show that some of the most basic tools do work in the case where the model digraph is a directed path. Using these…
Let D denote an infinite alphabet -- a set that consists of infinitely many symbols. A word w = a_0 b_0 a_1 b_1 ... a_n b_n of even length over D can be viewed as a directed graph G_w whose vertices are the symbols that appear in w, and the…
