For a finite planar graph, it associates with some metric spaces, called (regular) spherical polyhedral surfaces, by replacing faces with regular spherical polygons in the unit sphere and gluing them edge-to-edge. We consider the class of…
We study whether a given graph can be realized as an adjacency graph of the polygonal cells of a polyhedral surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that every graph is realizable as a polyhedral surface with arbitrary polygonal cells, and that…
Compact polyhedra of cubic point symmetry Oh, exhibit surfaces of planar sections (facets) characterized by normal vector families {abc} with up to 48 members each, compatible with Oh symmetry. We focus first on polyhedra confined by facets…
A sequence $\sigma$ of $p$ non-negative integers is unigraphic if it is the degree sequence of exactly one graph, up to isomorphism. A polyhedral graph is a $3$-connected, planar graph. We investigate which sequences are unigraphic with…
We unify several seemingly different graph and digraph classes under one umbrella. These classes are all broadly speaking different generalizations of interval graphs, and include, in addition to interval graphs, also adjusted interval…
In this paper, we investigate the structure of $\pi$-local fusion graphs of some finite simple groups of Lie-type of even characteristic. We indicate a strong connection between such graphs and other combinatorial objects, as antipodal…
It is known that Paley graphs of square order have the strict-EKR property, that is, all maximum cliques are canonical cliques. Peisert-type graphs are natural generalizations of Paley graphs and some of them also have the strict-EKR…
In this paper we find the vertex connectivity of Deza graphs with parameters of the complements to Seidel graphs. In particular, we present an infinite family of strictly Deza graphs whose vertex connectivity is equal to $k-1$, where $k$ is…
We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.
Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. In this paper we provide several novel characterizations of planar median…
A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…
If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…
Caro, Davila, and Pepper (arXiv:1909.09093) recently proved $\delta(G) \alpha(G)\leq \Delta(G) \mu(G)$ for every graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta(G)$, maximum degree $\Delta(G)$, independence number $\alpha(G)$, and matching number…
The study of the graph diameter of polytopes is a classical open problem in polyhedral geometry and the theory of linear optimization. In this paper we continue the investigation initiated in [4] by introducing a vast hierarchy of…
We study contact representations of graphs in which vertices are represented by axis-aligned polyhedra in 3D and edges are realized by non-zero area common boundaries between corresponding polyhedra. We show that for every 3-connected…
A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…
We revisit a classical paper about (even hole, triangle)-free graphs [Conforti, Cornu\'ejols, Kapoor and Vu\v skovi\'c, Triangle-free graphs that are signable without even holes, Journal of Graph Theory, 34(3), 204--220, 2000]. In fact, the…
A planar PCC graph is a simple connected planar graph with everywhere positive combinatorial curvature which is not a prism or an antiprism and with all vertices of degree at least 3. We prove that every planar PCC graph has at most 208…
When the number of non-triangular faces adjacent to a vertex $v$ is less than or equal to three, the vertex $v$ will be called (\emph{combinatorially}) \emph{rigid}. We study the number of rigid vertices and suggest a conjecture on a…
A key concept for many graph layout algorithms is planarity, a graph property that allows to draw vertices and edges crossing-free in the plane. Important is the generalization to $k$-planar graphs, which can be drawn in the plane with at…
