Given a directed graph D = (V,A) we define its intersection graph I(D) = (A,E) to be the graph having A as a node-set and two nodes of I(D) are adjacent if their corresponding arcs share a common node that is the tail of at least one of…

We introduce H-clique-width, a new structural measure of graphs that aims to provide a hereditary analogue of the traditional graph product structure. The definition naturally generalises the ordinary clique-width concept. As a result, for…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs is a \textit{Gallai family} if for every connected graph $G\in \mathcal{F}$, all longest paths in $G$ have a common vertex. While it is not known whether $P_5$-free graphs are a Gallai family, Long Jr.,…

Let the matching polynomial of a graph $G$ be denoted by $\mu (G,x)$. A graph $G$ is said to be $\theta$-super positive if $\mu(G,\theta)\neq 0$ and $\mu(G\setminus v,\theta)=0$ for all $v\in V(G)$. In particular, $G$ is 0-super positive if…

Let $\mathcal{H} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{r}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $[n] = \{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For an $r$-set of vertices $S \subseteq [n]$, the \emph{degree} of $S$ is defined as $\textrm{deg}(S)=\sum_{v \in…

We study graph products of groups from the viewpoint of measured group theory. We first establish a full measure equivalence classification of graph products of countably infinite groups over finite simple graphs with no transvection and no…

The intersection graph $\Delta_G$ of a finite group $G$ is a simple graph with vertices the non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$, and an edge between two vertices if their corresponding subgroups intersect non-trivially. These graphs were…

A point visibility graph is a graph induced by a set of points in the plane, where every vertex corresponds to a point, and two vertices are adjacent whenever the two corresponding points are visible from each other, that is, the open…

The intersection ideal graph $\Gamma(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of $S$ and two distinct left ideals $I, J$ are adjacent if and only if their intersection is nontrivial.…

To each finite frame $\varphi$ in an inner product space $\mathcal{H}$ we associate a simple graph $G(\varphi)$, called {\it frame graph}, with the vectors of the frame as vertices and there is an edge between vertices $f$ and $g$ provided…

A graph $H$ is an induced subgraph of a graph $G$ if a graph isomorphic to $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by deleting vertices. Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the unavoidable induced subgraphs for graphs of…

An obstacle representation of a graph $G$ is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of $G$, together with a set of polygonal obstacles such that two vertices of $G$ are connected by an edge in $G$ if and only if the line…

In this paper, we determine the computational complexity of recognizing two graph classes, \emph{grounded L}-graphs and \emph{stabbable grid intersection} graphs. An L-shape is made by joining the bottom end-point of a vertical ($\vert$)…

Assume two finite families $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$ have the property that $A\cap B\ne \emptyset$ for every $A \in \mathcal A$ and $B\in \mathcal B$. Is there a constant $\gamma >0$ (independent of…

Paths $P_1,\ldots,P_k$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ are mutually induced if any two distinct $P_i$ and $P_j$ have neither common vertices nor adjacent vertices (except perhaps their end-vertices). The Induced Disjoint Paths problem is to decide if…

A graph $G$ is $H$-saturated for a graph $H$, if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ but adding any new edge to $G$ results in such a copy. An $H$-saturated graph on a given number of vertices always exists and the properties of such graphs,…

A unit cube in $k$ dimensions ($k$-cube) is defined as the the Cartesian product $R_1\times R_2\times...\times R_k$ where $R_i$(for $1\leq i\leq k$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i,a_i+1]$ on the real line. A graph $G$ on $n$ nodes…

For a graph $G=(V,\ E)$ and a nonempty set $S\subseteq V$, the \emph{vertex boundary} of $S$, denoted by $\partial_G(S)$, is defined to be the set of vertices that are not in $S$ but have at least one neighbor in $S$. In this paper, for $G$…
