Let V be a finite set and M a collection of subsets of V. Then M is an alignment of V if and only if M is closed under taking intersections and contains both V and the empty set. If M is an alignment of V, then the elements of M are called…

Given a graph $G$ and a vertex $x\in V(G)$, a vertex set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is an $x$-geodominating set of $G$ if each vertex $v\in V(G)$ lies on an $x-y$ geodesic for some element $y\in S$. The minimum cardinality of an $x$-geodominating…

The stress interval $S(u,v)$ between $u,v\in V(G)$ is the set of all vertices in a graph $G$ that lie on every shortest $u,v$-path. A set $U \subseteq V(G)$ is stress convex if $S(u,v) \subseteq U$ for any $u,v\in U$. A vertex $v \in V(G)$…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w$ {\em strongly resolves} a pair $u, v$ of vertices of $G$ if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $W$ of vertices is a {\em strong…

A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…

A walk $u_0u_1 \ldots u_{k-1}u_k$ is a \textit{weakly toll walk} if $u_0u_i \in E(G)$ implies $u_i = u_1$ and $u_ju_k\in E(G)$ implies $u_j=u_{k-1}$. A set $S$ of vertices of $G$ is {\it weakly toll convex} if for any two non-adjacent…

We study the convex hull of the graph of a quadratic function $f(\mathbf{x})=\sum_{ij\in E}x_ix_j$, where the sum is over the edge set of a graph $G$ with vertex set $\{1,\dots,n\}$. Using an approach proposed by Gupte et al. (Discrete…

A set S of vertices of a graph G is a geodesic transversal of G if every maximal geodesic of G contains at least one vertex of S. We determine a smallest geodesic transversal in certain interconnection networks such as mesh of trees, and…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. A vertex $w$ strongly resolves a pair $u$, $v$ of vertices of $G$ if there exists some shortest $u-w$ path containing $v$ or some shortest $v-w$ path containing $u$. A set $W$ of vertices is a strong resolving…

Given a set of vertices $S=\{v_1,v_2,...,v_k\}$ of a connected graph $G$, the metric representation of a vertex $v$ of $G$ with respect to $S$ is the vector $r(v|S)=(d(v,v_1),d(v,v_2),...,d(v,v_k))$, where $d(v,v_i)$, $i\in \{1,...,k\}$…

We show the hardness of the geodetic hull number for chordal graphs.

For an ordered subset $S = \{s_1, s_2,\dots s_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $u$ in a connected graph $G$, the metric representation of $u$ with respect to $S$ is the ordered $k$-tuple $ r(u|S)=(d_G(v,s_1), d_G(v,s_2),\dots,$ $d_G(v,s_k))$,…

The direct product of graphs $G=(V(G),E(G))$ and $H=(V(H),E(H))$ is the graph, denoted as $G\times H$, with vertex set $V(G\times H)=V(G)\times V(H)$, where vertices $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are adjacent in $G\times H$ if $x_1x_2\in…

A graph $G$ is geodetic if between any two vertices there exists a unique shortest path. In 1962 Ore raised the challenge to characterize geodetic graphs, but despite many attempts, such characterization still seems well beyond reach. We…

We study the complexity of finding the \emph{geodetic number} on subclasses of planar graphs and chordal graphs. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{geodetic set} if every vertex of $G$ lies in a shortest path between some pair…

The restricted edge-connectivity of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\lambda^{\prime}(G)$, if it exists, is the minimum cardinality of a set of edges whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected and each component with at least 2 vertices. It…

A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is $monophonically \ convex$ if every induced path joining two vertices of $S$ is contained in $S$. The $monophonic \ convex \ hull$ of $S$, $\langle S \rangle$, is the smallest monophonically convex set…

Let $G = V, E$ be a simple connected undirected graph. A set $X \subseteq V$ is \emph{geodesically convex} if for any pair of vertices $x, y \in X$, all vertices on all shortest paths in $G$ from $x$ to $y$ are contained in $X$. A set $H…

An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if \( G - S \) is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…

The convex hull of the set of the incidence vectors of the matchings of a graph G is the matching polytope of the graph, M(G). The graph whose vertices and edges are the vertices and edges of M(G) is the skeleton of the matching polytope of…
