The concept of the brush number $b_r(G)$ was introduced for a simple connected undirected graph $G$. The concept will be applied to the Mycielskian graph $\mu(G)$ of a simple connected graph $G$ to find $b_r(\mu(G))$ in terms of an…
Brushing of graphs is a graph searching process in which the searching agents are called brushes. We focus on brushing directed graphs based on a new model in which the brushes can only travel in the same direction as the orientation of the…
In this paper we compare the brushing number of a graph with the zero-forcing number of its line graph. We prove that the zero-forcing number of the line graph is an upper bound for the brushing number by constructing a brush configuration…
We study the degree of polynomial representations of knots. We obtain the lexicographic degree for two-bridge torus knots and generalized twist knots. The proof uses the braid theoretical method developed by Orevkov to study real plane…
The concept of the brush number $b_r(G)$ was introduced for a simple connected undirected graph $G$. The concept will be applied to the Mycielski Jaco graph $\mu(J_n(1)), n \in \Bbb N,$ in respect of an \emph{optimal orientation} of…
In this paper, we provide results for the search number of the Cartesian product of graphs. We consider graphs on opposing ends of the spectrum: paths and cliques. Our main result determines the pathwidth of the product of cliques and…
We consider a class of random graphs, called random brushes, which are constructed by adding linear graphs of random lengths to the vertices of Z^d viewed as a graph. We prove that for d=2 all random brushes have spectral dimension d_s=2.…
The edge blow-up of a graph is the graph obtained from replacing each edge of it by a clique of the same size where the new vertices of the cliques are all different. Wang, Hou, Liu and Ma determined the Tur\'{a}n number of the edge blow-up…
The concept of the brush number $b_r(G)$ was introduced for a simple connected undirected graph $G$. This note extends the concept to a special family of directed graphs and declares that the brush number $b_r(J_n(1))$ of a finite Jaco…
Consider a network $D$ of pipes which have to be cleaned using some cleaning agents, called brushes, assigned to some vertices. The minimum number of brushes required for cleaning the network $D$ is called its brush number. The tattooing of…
We study a two-person game based on the well-studied brushing process on graphs. Players Min and Max alternately place brushes on the vertices of a graph. When a vertex accumulates at least as many brushes as its degree, it sends one brush…
The bisection width of interconnection networks has always been important in parallel computing, since it bounds the amount of information that can be moved from one side of a network to another, i.e., the bisection bandwidth. Finding its…
We investigate crossing minimization for 1-page and 2-page book drawings. We show that computing the 1-page crossing number is fixed-parameter tractable with respect to the number of crossings, that testing 2-page planarity is…
The $k$-truss, introduced by Cohen (2005), is a graph where every edge is incident to at least $k$ triangles. This is a relaxation of the clique. It has proved to be a useful tool in identifying cohesive subnetworks in a variety of…
Consider a network $D$ of pipes which have to be cleaned using some cleaning agents, called brushes, assigned to some vertices. The tattooing of a simple connected directed graph $D$ is a particular type of the cleaning in which an arc are…
Connected sum and trivalent vertex sum are natural operations on genus 2 spatial graphs and, as with knots, tunnel number behaves in interesting ways under these operations. We prove sharp Scharlemann-Schultens type bounds for the tunnel…
In this paper, we work to construct mosaic representations of knots on the torus, rather than in the plane. This consists of a particular choice of the ambient group, as well as different definitions of contiguous and suitably connected. We…
A shelling of a graph, viewed as an abstract simplicial complex that is pure of dimension 1, is an ordering of its edges such that every edge is adjacent to some other edges appeared previously. In this paper, we focus on complete bipartite…
Beineke, Harary and Ringel discovered a formula for the minimum genus of a torus in which the $n$-dimensional hypercube graph can be embedded. We give a new proof of the formula by building this surface as a union of certain faces in the…
We show that planar graphs have bounded queue-number, thus proving a conjecture of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg from 1992. The key to the proof is a new structural tool called layered partitions, and the result that every planar graph has…
