In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph into a new graph which is called the Mycielskian of that graph. In this paper we provide some…

The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity $\pi(G)$ and the remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ are the minimum and the maximum of the…

In this paper we obtain closed formulae for several parameters of generalized Sierpi\'{n}ski graphs $S(G,t)$ in terms of parameters of the base graph $G$. In particular, we focus on the chromatic, vertex cover, clique and domination…

The Mycielskian is a standard construction studied in many an introductory graph theory course. It is natural to consider Mycielskians of cycles, some of the simplest of all graphs. This paper deals with the so-called ``dimension'' of such…

The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We provide formulae for the minimum Wiener index of simple triangulations and quadrangulations with connectivity at least $c$, and…

Let $ G $ be a connected graph. If $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ denotes the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$, then the proximity, $\pi(G)$, of $G$ is defined as the smallest value of $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ over all…

Let $G$ be a finite, simple connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum of the average distances…

The general position problem for graphs was inspired by the no-three-in-line problem from discrete geometry. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{general position set} if no shortest path in $G$ contains three or more vertices of…

A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and iterated line digraphs. These structures…

Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ sites, where each $s \in S$ has an associated radius $r_s > 0$. The disk graph $D(S)$ is the undirected graph with vertex set $S$ and an undirected edge between two sites $s, t \in S$ if and only…

The median of a graph $G$ with weighted vertices is the set of all vertices $x$ minimizing the sum of weighted distances from $x$ to the vertices of $G$. For any integer $p\ge 2$, we characterize the graphs in which, with respect to any…

The metric dimension of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a subset $S$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $S$. In this paper we investigate the…

The Sierpi\'nski product of graphs generalises the vast and relevant class of Sierpi\'nski-type graphs, and is also related to the classic lexicographic product of graphs. Our first main results are necessary and sufficient conditions for…

Let $G$ be a graph and $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|\geq 2$. Then the trees $T_1, T_2, \cdots, T_\ell$ in $G$ are \emph{internally disjoint Steiner trees} connecting $S$ (or $S$-Steiner trees) if $E(T_i) \cap E(T_j )=\emptyset$ and…

Generalized Sierpi\'{n}ski graphs constitute a distinctive class of fractal-like networks with recursive definition: given a graph $G$, $S_G^1=G$ while $S_G^n$ is obtained from $|V(G)|$ copies of $S_G^{n-1}$ by adding some edges in a…
