Obstacle representations of graphs have been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. We focus on graphs that can be represented by a single obstacle. Given a (topologically open) polygon $C$ and a finite set $P$ of points in…

Controlling real-world networked systems, including ecological, biomedical, and engineered networks that exhibit higher-order interactions, remains challenging due to inherent nonlinearities and large system scales. Despite extensive…

In this work, we introduce a new graph convexity, that we call Cycle Convexity, motivated by related notions in Knot Theory. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, define the interval function in the Cycle Convexity as $I_{cc}(S) = S\cup \{v\in V(G)\mid…

We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed…

A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle, and pancyclic if it contains cycles of all lengths from 3 to $n$. In 1984, Fan presented a degree condition involving every pair of vertices at distance two for a…

Let $\mathcal{H}=(X,\mathcal{E})$ be a hypergraph. A support is a graph $Q$ on $X$ such that for each $E\in\mathcal{E}$, the subgraph of $Q$ induced on the elements in $E$ is connected. In this paper, we consider hypergraphs defined on a…

The complete set of minimal obstructions for embedding graphs into the torus is still not determined. In this paper, we present all obstructions for the torus of connectivity 2. Furthermore, we describe the building blocks of obstructions…

Let $F$ be a compact orientable surface with nonempty boundary other than a disk. Let $L$ be a link in $F \times I$ with a connected weakly prime cellular alternating projection to $F$. We provide simple conditions that determine exactly…

It is an easy observation that if a graph~$G$ admits a path-decomposition whose parts have small radius, then $G$ contains no large subdivision of $K_{1,3}$ or $K^3$ as a (quasi-)geodesic subgraph. We show that these are in fact the only…

For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is an $H$-graph if it is an intersection graph of connected subgraphs of some subdivision of $H$. $H$-graphs naturally generalize several important graph classes like interval or circular-arc graph. This class…

A graph is "$\ell$-holed" if all its induced cycles of length at least four have length exactly $\ell$. We give a complete description of the $\ell$-holed graphs for each $\ell\ge 7$.

This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian…

Let $V$ be a set of cardinality $v$ (possibly infinite). Two graphs $G$ and $G'$ with vertex set $V$ are {\it isomorphic up to complementation} if $G'$ is isomorphic to $G$ or to the complement $\bar G$ of $G$. Let $k$ be a non-negative…

We show that if a graph $G$ admits a quasi-isometry $\phi$ to a graph $H$ of bounded path-width, then we can assign a non-negative integer length to each edge of $H$, such that the same function $\phi$ is a quasi-isometry to this weighted…

A holographic entropy inequality (HEI) is a linear inequality obeyed by Ryu-Takayanagi holographic entanglement entropies, or equivalently by the minimum cut function on weighted graphs. We establish a new combinatorial framework for…

The search for the smallest possible $d$-regular graph of girth $g$ has a long history, and is usually known as the cage problem. This problem has a natural extension to hypergraphs, where we may ask for the smallest number of vertices in a…

A connected 3-valent plane graph, whose faces are $q$- or 6-gons only, is called a {\em graph $q_n$}. We classify all graphs $4_n$, which are isometric subgraphs of a $m$-hypercube $H_m$.

We say a class $\mathcal{C}$ of graphs is clean if for every positive integer $t$ there exists a positive integer $w(t)$ such that every graph in $\mathcal{C}$ with treewidth more than $w(t)$ contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to one…

The toughness of a noncomplete graph $G$ is the maximum real number $t$ such that the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$ for every cutset $S$ of $G$, and the toughness of a complete graph is defined to be…

For a fixed set ${\cal H}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is ${\cal H}$-subgraph-free if $G$ does not contain any $H \in {\cal H}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. A recently proposed framework gives a complete classification on ${\cal…
