Several authors have recently attempted to show that the intersection of three simply connected subcontinua of the plane is simply connected provided it is non-empty and the intersection of each two of the continua is path connected. In…

In this paper we show that every sufficiently large family of convex bodies in the plane has a large subfamily in convex position provided that the number of common tangents of each pair of bodies is bounded and every subfamily of size five…

The inverse degree of a graph is the sum of the reciprocals of the degrees of its vertices. We prove that in any connected planar graph, the diameter is at most 5/2 times the inverse degree, and that this ratio is tight. To develop a…

A graph is called strongly $\Z_{2k+1}$-connected if for each boundary function $\beta: V(G)\mapsto \Z_{2k+1}$ with $\sum_{v\in V(G)}\beta(v)\equiv 0\pmod{2k+1}$, there exists an orientation $D$ of $G$ such that $d_D^+(v) - d_D^-(v) \equiv…

We prove that every 2k-edge-connected graph with countably many edge-ends admits a k-arc-connected orientation, extending the previous result by Assem, Koloschin and Pitz that also assumed the hypothesis of the graph being locally finite.…

Any simple planar graph can be triangulated, i.e., we can add edges to it, without adding multi-edges, such that the result is planar and all faces are triangles. In this paper, we study the problem of triangulating a planar graph without…

In the geodetic convexity, a set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is $\textit{convex}$ if all vertices belonging to any shortest path between two vertices of $S$ lie in $S$. The cardinality $con(G)$ of a maximum proper convex set $S$ of $G$…

We introduce two common divisor graphs associated with a finite skew brace, based on its $\lambda$- and $\theta$-orbits. We prove that the number of connected components is at most two and the diameter of a connected component is at most…

We prove the following theorem. Let $r\ge 4$ be an integer, and $G$ be a $K_{1,r}$-free $r$-edge-connected $r$-regular graph. Then, for every set $W$ of even number of vertices of $G$ such that the distance between any two vertices of $W$…

A flip in a plane spanning tree $T$ is the operation of removing one edge from $T$ and adding another edge such that the resulting structure is again a plane spanning tree. For trees on a set of points in convex position we study two…

A bipartite graph $G = (X \cup Y, E)$ is a 2-layer $k$-planar graph if it admits a drawing on the plane such that the vertices in $X$ and $Y$ are placed on two parallel lines respectively, edges are drawn as straight-line segments, and…

A graph $G$ is $l$-path Hamiltonian if every path of length not exceeding $l$ is contained in a Hamiltonian cycle. It is well known that a 2-connected, $k$-regular graph $G$ on at most $3k-1$ vertices is edge-Hamiltonian if for every edge…
