A set $S \subseteq V$ of the graph $G = (V, E)$ is called a $[1, 2]$-set of $G$ if any vertex which is not in $S$ has at least one but no more than two neighbors in $S$. A set $S \subseteq V$ is called a $[1, 2]$-total set of $G$ if any…

A difference vertex labeling of a graph G is an assignment f of labels to the vertices of G that induces for each edge xy the weight |f(x)-f(y)|. A difference vertex labeling f of a graph G of size n is odd-graceful if f is an injection…

The problem of finding the connected components of a graph is considered. The algorithms addressed to solve the problem are used to solve such problems on graphs as problems of finding points of articulation, bridges, maximin bridge, etc. A…

We consider the problem of finding a Hamiltonian path or a Hamiltonian cycle with precedence constraints in the form of a partial order on the vertex set. We show that the path problem is $\mathsf{NP}$-complete for graphs of pathwidth 4…

A geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in general position in the plane and its edges are straight line segments joining these points. In this paper we give an $O(n^2 \log n)$ algorithm to compute the number of pairs of…

A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…

Large tree structures are ubiquitous and real-world relational datasets often have information associated with nodes (e.g., labels or other attributes) and edges (e.g., weights or distances) that need to be communicated to the viewers. Yet,…

A graph of order $n$ is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices with integers from $1$ to $n$ such that each vertex has the same sum of the labels of its neighbors. This paper contributes to the long term project of…

A geodesic is a shortest path which connects a pair of vertices of a graph G. In this paper we define the geodesic subpath number gpn(G) of a graph G as the number of geodesics in G. The number of subtrees and subpaths are already studied…

We define the \emph{visual complexity} of a plane graph drawing to be the number of basic geometric objects needed to represent all its edges. In particular, one object may represent multiple edges (e.g., one needs only one line segment to…

Given a set $A$ of $n$ points (vertices) in general position in the plane, the \emph{complete geometric graph} $K_n[A]$ consists of all $\binom{n}{2}$ segments (edges) between the elements of $A$. It is known that the edge set of every…

A path system in a graph $G$ is a collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. A path system is said to be consistent if it is intersection-closed. We show that the number of consistent path systems on $n$…

In a graph G, a dissociation set is a subset of vertices which induces a subgraph with vertex degree at most 1. Finding a dissociation set of maximum cardinality in a graph is NP-hard even for bipartite graphs and is called the maximum…

A sequence $D=(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n)$ of non-negative integers is called a graphic sequence if there is a simple graph with vertices $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n$ such that the degree of $v_i$ is $d_i$ for $1\leq i\leq n$. Given a graph theoretical…

A graph is \emph{hamiltonian-connected} if every pair of vertices can be connected by a hamiltonian path, and it is \emph{hamiltonian} if it contains a hamiltonian cycle. We construct families of non-hamiltonian graphs for which the ratio…

The search is based on the preliminary transformation of matrices or adjacency lists traditionally used in the study of graphs into projections cleared of redundant information (refined) followed by the selection of the desired shortest…

For a graph $G$ and $a,b\in V(G)$, the shortest path reconfiguration graph of $G$ with respect to $a$ and $b$ is denoted by $S(G,a,b)$. The vertex set of $S(G,a,b)$ is the set of all shortest paths between $a$ and $b$ in $G$. Two vertices…

We study "positive" graphs that have a nonnegative homomorphism number into every edge-weighted graph (where the edgeweights may be negative). We conjecture that all positive graphs can be obtained by taking two copies of an arbitrary…

In 2021, Hibi et. al. studied lattice points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ that appear as $(\depth R/I,\dim R/I)$ when $I$ is the edge ideal of a graph on $n$ vertices, and showed these points lie between two convex polytopes. When restricting to the…
