In spherical symmetry with radial coordinate $r$, classical Newtonian gravitation supports circular orbits and, for $-1/r$ and $r^2$ potentials only, closed elliptical orbits [1]. Various families of elliptical orbits can be thought of as…
A \emph{numerical semigroup} is a subset $\Lambda$ of the nonnegative integers that is closed under addition, contains $0$, and omits only finitely many nonnegative integers (called the \emph{gaps} of $\Lambda$). The collection of all…
The famous Goldbach conjecture remains open for nearly three centuries. Recently Goldbach graphs are introduced to relate the problem with the literature of Graph Theory. It is shown that the connectedness of the graphs is equivalent to the…
We study the ratio, in a finite graph, of the sizes of the largest matching in any pair of disjoint matchings with the maximum total number of edges and the largest possible matching. Previously, it was shown that this ratio is between 4/5…
Consider the setting of \emph{randomly weighted graphs}, namely, graphs whose edge weights are chosen independently according to probability distributions with finite support over the non-negative reals. Under this setting, properties of…
A ternary complex tree related to the golden ratio is used to show how the theory of complex trees works. We use the topological set of this tree to obtain a parametric family of trees in one complex variable. Even though some real ferns…
The increased use of cryptography to protect our personal information makes us want to understand the security of cryptosystems. The security of many cryptosystems relies on solving the discrete logarithm, which is thought to be relatively…
This survey on graphs of large girth consists of two parts. The first deals with some aspects of algebraic and extremal graph theory loosely related to the Moore bound. Our point of departure for the second, Ramsey theoretic, part are some…
This paper introduces Haros graphs, a construction which provides a graph-theoretical representation of real numbers in the unit interval reached via paths in the Farey binary tree. We show how the topological structure of Haros graphs…
A set of Pauli stings is well characterized by the graph that encodes its commutatitivity structure, i.e., by its frustration graph. This graph provides a natural interface between graph theory and quantum information, which we explore in…
In this paper, we investigate the ratio of the numbers of odd and even cycles in outerplanar graphs. We verify that the ratio generally diverges to infinity as the order of a graph diverges to infinity. We also give sharp estimations of the…
Seeds of sunflowers are often modelled by the map $n\longmapsto \varphi_\theta(n)=\sqrt{n}e^{2i\pi n\theta}$ leading to a roughly uniform repartition with two consecutive seeds separated by the divergence angle $2\pi\theta$ for $\theta$ the…
This paper introduces the concept of compliant vertices and compliant graphs, with a focus on the total domination degree (TDD) of a vertex in compliant graphs. The TDD is systematically calculated for various graph classes, including path…
We give sufficient conditions under which a random graph with a specified degree sequence is symmetric or asymmetric. In the case of bounded degree sequences, our characterisation captures the phase transition of the symmetry of the random…
Graph-modification problems, where we modify a graph by adding or deleting vertices or edges or contracting edges to obtain a graph in a {\it simpler} class, is a well-studied optimization problem in all algorithmic paradigms including…
Whenever graphs admit equitable partitions, their quotient graphs highlight the structure evidenced by the partition. It is therefore very natural to ask what can be said about two graphs that have the same quotient according to certain…
This is a contribution to the number theory of the dimer problem. The number of dimer coverings (i.e., perfect matchings) of a square lattice graph is discussed modulo powers of 2.
We consider the \emph{connected game coloring number} of a graph, introduced by Charpentier et al. as a game theoretic graph parameter that measures the degeneracy of a graph with respect to a certain two-player game played with an…
The paper considers the behaviour of the number of paths of length $N$ on graphs with two heavy roots. Such vertices can be entropic traps. Numerical analysis is carried out for graphs with different degrees of root vertices. In the…
Graph polynomials are graph parameters invariant under graph isomorphisms which take values in a polynomial ring with a fixed finite number of indeterminates. We study graph polynomials from a model theoretic point of view. In this paper we…
