In this work we show that given a connectivity graph $G$ of a $[[n,k,d]]$ quantum code, there exists $\{K_i\}_i, K_i \subset G$, such that $\sum_i |K_i|\in \Omega(k), \ |K_i| \in \Omega(d)$, and the $K_i$'s are $\tilde{\Omega}(…

In this article we investigate the structure of uniformly $k$-connected and uniformly $k$-edge-connected graphs. Whereas both types have previously been studied independent of each other, we analyze relations between these two classes. We…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph of order $n$, $S$ a subset of $V$ of size $k$ and $2\le k\leq n$. Strong subgraphs $D_1, \dots , D_p$ containing $S$ are said to be internally disjoint if $V(D_i)\cap V(D_j)=S$ and $A(D_i)\cap A(D_j)=\emptyset$…

Chung, F\"uredi, Graham, and Seymour (JCTA, 1988) constructed an induced subgraph of the hypercube $Q^n$ with $\alpha(Q^n)+1$ vertices and with maximum degree smaller than $\lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil$. Subsequently, Huang (Annals of…

Connectivity and diagnosability are two important parameters for the fault tolerant of an interconnection network $G$. In 1996, F\`{a}brega and Fiol proposed the $g$-extra connectivity of $G$. A subset of vertices $S$ is said to be a…

The $g$-component edge connectivity $c\lambda_g(G)$ of a non-complete graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph with at least $g$ components. In this paper, we determine the component edge connectivity of…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_\alpha$-matrix of a graph $G$ as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha…

\noindent The augmented cube graph $AQ_n$ is the Cayley graph of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ with respect to the set of $2n-1$ generators $\{e_1,e_2, \ldots,e_n, 00\ldots0011, 00\ldots0111, 11\ldots1111 \}$. It is known that the order of the…

Let $P$ be a set of $n \geq 5$ points in convex position in the plane. The path graph $G(P)$ of $P$ is an abstract graph whose vertices are non-crossing spanning paths of $P$, such that two paths are adjacent if one can be obtained from the…

We study reachability and shortest paths problems in dynamic directed graphs. Whereas algebraic dynamic data structures supporting edge updates and reachability/distance queries have been known for quite a long time, they do not, in…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a \emph{rainbow path} if all edges on it have pairwise distinct colors. For $k\geq 1$, the \emph{rainbow-$k$-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted $rc_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required…

Let $G$ be a finite simple non-complete connected graph on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $\kappa(G) \geq 1$ its vertex connectivity. Let $f(G)$ denote the number of free vertices of $G$ and $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ the diameter of $G$. Being motivated…

A path in an edge-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of $G$ are colored the same. For a $\kappa$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq \kappa$, the…

A graph on at least ${{k+1}}$ vertices is uniformly $k$-connected if each pair of its vertices is connected by $k$ and not more than $k$ independent paths. We reinvestigate a recent constructive characterization of uniformly $3$-connected…

In this paper we show that the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity of an arbitrary graph $G$ is bounded above by its $1$-dimensional algebraic connectivity, i.e., $a_d(G) \leq a_1(G)$, where $a_1(G)$ corresponds the well-studied second…

Non-adiabatic and non-closed evolutionary paths play a significant role in the fidelity of quantum gates. We propose a high-fidelity quantum control framework based on the quasi-topological number ($\nu_{\text{qua}}$), which extends the…

The \textit{longest path transversal number} of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $lpt(G)$, is the minimum size of a set of vertices of $G$ that intersects all longest paths in $G$. We present constant upper bounds for the longest path…

A conjecture of AutoGraphiX on the relation between the Randi\'c index $R$ and the algebraic connectivity $a$ of a connected graph $G$ is: $$\frac R a\leq (\frac{n-3+2\sqrt{2}}{2})/(2(1- \cos {\frac{\pi}{n}})) $$ with equality if and only…

Jord\'an and Tanigawa recently introduced the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G$. This is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ which generalizes the well-studied notion of spectral…

It is proven that the connected pathwidth of any graph $G$ is at most $2\cdot\pw(G)+1$, where $\pw(G)$ is the pathwidth of $G$. The method is constructive, i.e. it yields an efficient algorithm that for a given path decomposition of width…
