Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…

The $n$-hypercube, denoted by $Q_n$, has a vertex for each bit string of length $n$ with two vertices adjacent whenever their Hamming distance is one. The minimum number of colors needed to color $Q_n$ such that no two vertices at a…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $\cal X \subseteq V(G)$. By definition, two vertices $u$ and $v$ are $\cal X$-visible in $G$ if there exists a shortest $u,v$-path with all internal vertices being outside of the set $\cal X$. The largest…

For a given graph \(G\), the general position problem asks for the largest set of vertices \(M \subseteq V(G)\) such that no three distinct vertices of \(M\) belong to a common shortest path in \(G\). A relaxation of this concept is based…

A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges is said to be {\it nearly-intersecting} if every edge of $\mathcal{H}$ intersects all but at most polylogarthmically many (in $m$ and $n$) other edges. Given lists of colors…

A total coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of its vertices and edges such that no adjacent vertices, edges, and no incident vertices and edges obtain the same color. An interval total $t$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a total coloring of…

In this paper, we present a complete characterization of mutual-visibility sets in trees. It is shown that a subset $S$ is a mutual-visibility set of a tree $T$ if and only if it coincides with the set of leaves of the Steiner subtree…

Given a connected graph $G$, the total mutual-visibility number of $G$, denoted $\mu_t(G)$, is the cardinality of a largest set $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that for every pair of vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ there is a shortest $x,y$-path whose…

Mutual visibility in graphs requires pairs of vertices to be connected by shortest paths that avoid all other vertices of a prescribed set, a condition that is often overly restrictive. In this paper, we introduce a new variant, called…

Mutual visibility in graphs provides a framework for analysing how vertices can observe one another along shortest paths free of internal obstructions. The visibility polynomial, which enumerates mutual-visibility sets of all orders, has…

What is the maximum, over all 2-colourings of the edges of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$, of the minimal number of times a path between a vertex $v$ and its antipode $\bar{v}$ changes colour? A conjecture of Norine, in a form due to…

If $k\geq 0$, then a $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to edges of $G$ from the set of $k$ colors, so that adjacent edges receive different colors. A $k$-edge-colorable subgraph of $G$ is maximum if it is the…

Let $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ be the number of colors required to color the $n$-dimensional hypercube such that no two vertices with the same color are at a distance at most $k$. In other words, $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ is the minimum number of binary…

Mutual-visibility sets were motivated by visibility in distributed systems and social networks, and intertwine with several classical mathematical areas. Monotone properties of the variety of mutual-visibility sets, and restrictions of such…

A visibility representation of a graph $G$ is an assignment of the vertices of $G$ to geometric objects such that vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding objects are "visible" each other, that is, there is an uninterrupted…

The problem of 2-coloring uniform hypergraphs has been extensively studied over the last few decades. An n-uniform hypergraph is not 2-colorable if its vertices can't be colored with two colors, Red and Blue, such that every hyperedge…
