A $(2,1)$-total labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ and the edge set $E(G)$ to the set $\{0,1,...,k\}$ of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ is a vertex and $y$ is an edge incident…

Understanding how the cycles of a graph or digraph behave in general has always been an important point of graph theory. In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct…

A distance labeling scheme labels the $n$ nodes of a graph with binary strings such that, given the labels of any two nodes, one can determine the distance in the graph between the two nodes by looking only at the labels. A $D$-preserving…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a weighted undirected graph, with $n$ vertices. A distance oracle is a data structure that can quickly answer distance queries, with some stretch factor. A seminal work of \cite{TZ01}, given an integer $k\ge 1$, provides…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with $d$ labels so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. The smallest such $d$ is the distinguishing number, Dist($G$). A subset of…

We consider how to assign labels to any undirected graph with n nodes such that, given the labels of two nodes and no other information regarding the graph, it is possible to determine the distance between the two nodes. The challenge in…

A digraph is $m$-labelled if every arc is labelled by an integer in $\{1, \dots,m\}$. Motivated by wavelength assignment for multicasts in optical networks, we introduce and study $n$-fibre colourings of labelled digraphs. These are…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of two-way $(t,\lambda)$-liking digraphs as a way to extend the results for generalized friendship graphs. A two-way $(t,\lambda)$-liking digraph is a digraph in which every $t$ vertices have exactly…

Let $\delta$ and $\Delta$ be the minimum and the maximum degree of the vertices of a simple connected graph $G$, respectively. The distinguishing index of a graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of…

The dichromatic number $\vec\chi(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the minimum size of a partition of its vertices into acyclic induced subgraphs. We denote by $\lambda(D)$ the maximum local edge connectivity of a digraph $D$. Neumann-Lara proved…

An acyclic digraph each vertex of which has indegree at most $i$ and outdegree at most $j$ is called an $(i, j)$ digraph for some positive integers $i$ and $j$. Lee {\it et al.} (2017) studied the phylogeny graphs of $(2, 2)$ digraphs and…

An $L(1,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment of labels from $\{0,1 \cdots, k \}$ to the vertices of $G$ such that two vertices that are adjacent or have a common neighbor receive distinct labels. The $\lambda_1^1-$ number,…

A matrix $S=(s_{ij})\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is said to determine a \emph{transitional measure} for a digraph $G$ on $n$ vertices if for all $i,j,k\in\{1,\...,n\},$ the \emph{transition inequality} $s_{ij} s_{jk}\le s_{ik} s_{jj}$ holds…

Reconfiguration problems ask whether one feasible solution can be transformed into another by a sequence of local moves while maintaining feasibility throughout. For integers $d \geq 1$ and $k \geq d+1$, the Distance Coloring problem asks…

We study an "above guarantee" version of the {\sc Longest Path} problem in directed graphs: We are given a graph $G$, two vertices $s$ and $t$ of $G$, and a non-negative integer $k$, and the objective is to determine whether $G$ contains a…

A digraph $G$ is \emph{$k$-geodetic} if for any pair of (not necessarily distinct) vertices $u,v \in V(G)$ there is at most one walk of length $\leq k$ from $u$ to $v$ in $G$. In this paper we determine the largest possible size of a…

A lambda colouring (or $L(2,1)-$colouring) of a graph is an assignment of non-negative integers (with minimum assignment $0$) to its vertices such that the adjacent vertices must receive integers at least two apart and vertices at distance…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The lexicographic product of…

A distinguishing r-vertex-labelling (resp. r-edge-labelling) of an undirected graph G is a mapping $\lambda$ from the set of vertices (resp. the set of edges) of G to the set of labels {1,. .. , r} such that no non-trivial automorphism of G…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ and $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G.$ Suppose that $\lambda_{1}(D(G))\geq\lambda_{2}(D(G))\geq\cdots\geq\lambda_{n}(D(G))$ are the distance spectrum of $G$. A graph $G$ is said to be…
