The power graph P(G) of a group G is a graph with vertex set G, where two vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if one is the power of the other. In this paper, we raise and study the following question: For which natural numbers n…
Given a digraph, an ordering of its vertices defines a backedge graph, namely the undirected graph whose edges correspond to the arcs pointing backwards with respect to the order. The degreewidth of a digraph is the minimum over all…
We consider the localization number and metric dimension of certain graphs of diameter $2$, focusing on families of Kneser graphs and graphs without 4-cycles. For the Kneser graphs with diameter $2$, we find upper and lower bounds for the…
A diagonal base of a Sylow 2-subgroup $P_n(2)$ of symmetric group $S_{2^n}$ is a minimal generating set of this subgroup consisting of elements with only one non-zero coordinate in the polynomial representation. For different diagonal bases…
The commuting graph of a group G, denoted by Gamma(G), is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the non-central elements of G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. Let Z_m be the commutative ring of…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Cayley graph of the permutation group generated by a transposition tree $T$ on $n$ vertices. In an oft-cited paper \cite{Akers:Krishnamurthy:1989} (see also \cite{Hahn:Sabidussi:1997}), it is shown that the diameter of the…
The {\it inversion} of a set $X$ of vertices in a digraph $D$ consists in reversing the direction of all arcs of $D\langle X\rangle$. The {\it inversion number} of an oriented graph $D$, denoted by ${\rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of…
In this short note it is shown that every graph of diameter 2 and minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle of length 4 or 8. This result contributes to the study of the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as Conjecture by confirming it for the class of…
The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the largest possible number of vertices in a graph having given diameter and given maximum degree. Very often the problem is studied for restricted families of graph such as vertex-transitive or…
The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, and two elements in $G$ are adjacent if one of them is a power of the other. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we find the complexity of…
Token ring topology has been frequently used in the design of distributed loop computer networks and one measure of its performance is the diameter. We propose an algorithm for constructing hamiltonian graphs with $n$ vertices and maximum…
It is well known that many random graphs with infinite variance degrees are ultrasmall. More precisely, for configuration models and preferential attachment models where the proportion of vertices of degree at least $k$ is approximately…
The directed Cayley diameter of a finite group is investigated in terms of the monoid of product-one sequences over the group, via the new notion of directed geodesic atoms. Two quantities associated to the set of directed geodesic atoms…
The enhanced power graph of a group G is a graph with vertex set G, where two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if there exists an element w in G such that both x and y are powers of w. To obtain the proper enhanced power…
The paper focuses on two problems: (i) how to orient the edges of an undirected graph in order to maximize the number of ordered vertex pairs (x,y) such that there is a directed path from x to y, and (ii) how to orient the edges so as to…
We prove constructively that the maximum possible number of minimal connected dominating sets in a connected undirected graph of order $n$ is in $\Omega(1.489^n)$. This improves the previously known lower bound of $\Omega(1.4422^n)$ and…
This article investigates neighborhoods' sizes in the enhanced power graph (as known as the cyclic graph) associated with a finite group. In particular, we characterize finite $p$-groups with the smallest maximum size for neighborhoods of…
The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is the simple undirected graph with group elements as a vertex set and two elements are adjacent if one of them is a power of the other. The order supergraph $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of the power graph…
The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the largest possible number of vertices in a graph having given diameter and given maximum degree. There has been much recent interest in the problem for mixed graphs, where we allow both undirected…
We consider intrinsic linking and knotting in the context of directed graphs. We construct an example of a directed graph that contains a consistently oriented knotted cycle in every embedding. We also construct examples of intrinsically…
