In this article, we introduce the notion of the double competition multigraph of a digraph. We give characterizations of the double competition multigraphs of arbitrary digraphs, loopless digraphs, reflexive digraphs, and acyclic digraphs…

It is known to be a hard problem to compute the competition number k(G) of a graph G in general. Park and Sano [13] gave the exact values of the competition numbers of Hamming graphs H(n,q) if $1 \leq n \leq 3$ or $1 \leq q \leq 2$. In this…

We define a simple orthogonal polyhedron to be a three-dimensional polyhedron with the topology of a sphere in which three mutually-perpendicular edges meet at each vertex. By analogy to Steinitz's theorem characterizing the graphs of…

Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…

Competition graphs were created in connected to a biological model as a means of reflecting the competition relations among the predators in the food webs and determining the smallest dimension of ecological phase space. In 2011, Factor and…

In this paper, we use the Erd\"{o}s-Szekeres lemma to show that there exists a graph with partial order competition dimension greater than five.

An \emph{obstacle representation} of a graph $G$ is a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane together with a collection of connected subsets of the plane, called \emph{obstacles}, that block all non-edges of $G$ while not blocking any of…

The niche graph of a digraph $D$ has $V(D)$ as the vertex set and an edge $uv$ if and only if $(u,w) \in A(D)$ and $(v,w) \in A(D)$, or $(w,u) \in A(D)$ and $(w,v) \in A(D)$ for some $w \in V(D)$. The notion of niche graph was introduced by…

We survey partial geometric designs and investigate their concurrences of points. The concurrence matrix of a design, which encodes the concurrences of pairs of points, can be used in the classification of designs in some extent. An…

In this paper, we compute competition indices and periods of multipartite tournaments. We first show that the competition period of an acyclic digraph $D$ is one and $\zeta(D) +1$ is a sharp upper bound of the competition index of $D$ where…

We propose a classification of polyhedra (planar, $3$-connected graphs) according to their type i.e., their set of quantities of common neighbours for each pair of distinct vertices. For every (finite) set of non-negative integers, we…

Since Cho and Kim (2005) showed that the competition graph of a doubly partial order is an interval graph, it has been actively studied whether or not the same phenomenon occurs for other variants of competition graph and interesting…

We say that a digraph $D$ is $(i,j)$-step competitive if any two vertices have an $(i,j)$-step common out-neighbor in $D$ and that a graph $G$ is $(i,j)$-step competitively orientable if there exists an $(i,j)$-step competitive orientation…

We consider vertex colourings of the dodecahedral graph with five colours, such that on each face the vertices are coloured with all the five colours. We show that the total number of these colourings is 240. All such colourings can be…

A classic theorem by Steinitz states that a graph G is realizable by a convex polyhedron if and only if G is 3-connected planar. Zonohedra are an important subclass of convex polyhedra having the property that the faces of a zonohedron are…

A graph is $d$-rigid if for any generic realisation of the graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (equivalently, the $d$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$), there are only finitely many non-congruent realisations in the same space with the same edge…

To any simple graph $G$, the clique graph operator $K$ associates the graph $K(G)$ which is the intersection graph of the maximal complete subgraphs of $G$. The iterated clique graphs are defined by $K^{0}(G)=G$ and $K^{n}(G)=K(K^{n-1}(G))$…

Given vertex valencies admissible for a self-dual polyhedral graph, we describe an algorithm to explicitly construct such a polyhedron. Inputting in the algorithm permutations of the degree sequence can give rise to non-isomorphic graphs.…
