The \emph{distance-number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge-lengths over all straight-line drawings of $G$ in the plane. This definition generalises many well-known concepts in combinatorial geometry. We consider the…

This work studies path planning in two-dimensional space, in the presence of polygonal obstacles. We specifically address the problem of building a roadmap graph, that is, an abstract representation of all the paths that can potentially be…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $u$, $v$, and $w$ be vertices of $G$. If the distance between $u$ and $w$ does not equal the distance between $v$ and $w$, then $w$ is said to resolve $u$ and $v$. The metric dimension of $G$, denoted $\beta(G)$,…

The metric dimension of a graph is the cardinality of a minimum resolving set, which is the set of vertices such that the distance representations of every vertex with respect to that set are unique. A fault-tolerant metric basis is a…

Metric spaces $(X, d)$ are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships $d(x, y)$ between points $x, y \in X$. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful…

The Gromov-Hausdorff (GH) distance is traditionally used for measuring distances between metric spaces. It is defined as the minimal distortion of embedding one surface into the other, while the optimal correspondence can be described as…

A path system $\mathscr{P}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $V$. A path system is said to be consistent if it is closed under subpaths. We say that a path system $\mathscr{P}$…

Geometric quantization often produces not one Hilbert space to represent the quantum states of a classical system but a whole family $H_s$ of Hilbert spaces, and the question arises if the spaces $H_s$ are canonically isomorphic. [ADW] and…

Metric graphs are often introduced based on combinatorics, upon "associating" each edge of a graph with an interval; or else, casually "gluing" a collection of intervals at their endpoints in a network-like fashion. Here we propose an…

Consider a finite directed graph without cycles in which the arrows are weighted. We present an algorithm for the computation of a new distance, called path-length-weighted distance, which has proven useful for graph analysis in the context…

Finding the shortest path between two points in a graph is a fundamental problem that has been well-studied over the past several decades. Shortest path algorithms are commonly applied to modern navigation systems, so our study aims to…

A digraph $H$ is a ``semi-strong minor'' of another, $G$, if a subdivision of $H$ can be obtained from a subdigraph of $G$ by contracting strongly-connected subdigraphs to single vertices. We will define a width measure of ``plane''…

A set of vertices $S$ resolves a graph if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The metric dimension of a graph is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of the graph. Fix a connected…
