We show that cube-connected cycles graphs $CCC_n$ are distance-balanced, and nicely distance-balanced if and only if $n$ is even.

A graph is said to be globally rigid if almost all embeddings of the graph's vertices in the Euclidean plane will define a system of edge-length equations with a unique (up to isometry) solution. In 2007, Jackson, Servatius and Servatius…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A $k$-matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,\ldots, k\}$ satisfying $\sum_{e \in E_G(v)} f(e) \leq k$ for every vertex $v \in V(G)$,…

A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $k$ edges is $t$-edge-balanced if every graph on $n$ vertices with $t$ edges is contained in exactly the same number of subgraphs of $K_n$ isomorphic to $G$. Despite the existence of infinite families of…

A connected graph $G$ of diameter ${\rm diam}(G) \ge \ell$ is $\ell$-distance-balanced if $|W_{xy}|=|W_{yx}|$ for every $x,y\in V(G)$ with $d_{G}(x,y)=\ell$, where $W_{xy}$ is the set of vertices of $G$ that are closer to $x$ than to $y$.…

For an arbitrary set of distances $D\subseteq \{0,1, \ldots, diam(G)\}$, a $D$-weight of a vertex $x$ in a graph $G$ under a vertex labeling $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots , v\}$ is defined as $w_D(x)=\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y)$, where $N_D(x)…

For any metric $d$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, an ($\mathbb{R}^2,d$)-geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is at most 1. If $d=\|.\|_{\infty}$, the metric…

A graph $H$ is an \emph{isometric} subgraph of $G$ if $d_H(u,v)= d_G(u,v)$, for every pair~$u,v\in V(H)$. A graph is \emph{distance preserving} if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A graph is \emph{sequentially distance…

A non-complete graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(G,2)$-distance transitive if $G$ is a subgroup of the automorphism group of $\Gamma$ that is transitive on the vertex set of $\Gamma$, and for any vertex $u$ of $\Gamma$, the stabilizer $G_u$ is…

Given a graph $G$ then a subgraph $H$ is $isometric$ if, for every pair of vertices $u,v$ of $H$, we have $d_H(u,v) = d_G(u,v)$. We say a graph $G$ is $distance\ preserving\ (dp)$ if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order up…

For every pair of vertices u and v with d(u; v) = n, Wun G v denotes the set of all vertices of G that are closer to u than to v. In this paper, we introduce quasi-({\lambda}; n)-distance-balanced graphs and then study some properties of…

A graph or hypergraph is said to be vertex-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively upon its vertices. A classic theorem of Mader asserts that every connected vertex-transitive graph is maximally edge-connected. We generalise…

A vertex in a graph is said to be sedentary if a quantum state assigned on that vertex tends to stay on that vertex. Under mild conditions, we show that the direct product and join operations preserve vertex sedentariness. We also…

Given a positive-weighted simple connected graph with $m$ vertices, labelled by the numbers $1,\ldots,m$, we can construct an $m \times m$ matrix whose entry $(i,j)$, for any $i,j\in\{1,\dots,m\}$, is the minimal weight of a path between…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be distance magic if there is a bijection $f$ from a vertex set of $G$ to the first $|V(G)|$ natural numbers such that for each vertex $v$, its weight given by $\sum_{u \in N(v)}f(u)$ is constant, where $N(v)$…
