We consider intrinsic linking and knotting in the context of directed graphs. We construct an example of a directed graph that contains a consistently oriented knotted cycle in every embedding. We also construct examples of intrinsically…

A vertex $w$ resolves two vertices $u$ and $v$ in a directed graph $G$ if the distance from $w$ to $u$ is different to the distance from $w$ to $v$. A set of vertices $R$ is a resolving set for a directed graph $G$ if for every pair of…

The $2$-token graph $F_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose set of vertices consists of all the $2$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their symmetric difference is an edge in $G$. Let $G$ be the join graph…

A graph $G$ is \emph{nonsingular (singular)} if its adjacency matrix $A(G)$ is nonsingular (singular). In this article, we consider the nonsingularity of block graphs, i.e., graphs in which every block is a clique. Extending the problem, we…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a strongly connected graph with $|V|\geq 3$. For $T\subseteq V$, the strongly connected graph $G$ is $2$-T-connected if $G$ is $2$-edge-connected and for each vertex $w$ in $T$, $w$ is not a strong articulation point. This…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a digraph $D$ is a double dominating set (total $2$-dominating set) if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent from at least two vertices in $S$, and every vertex in $S$ is adjacent from at least one vertex in $S$…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph without isolated vertices. A set $S\subseteq V$ is a paired-dominating set if every vertex in $V-S$ has at least one neighbor in $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ contains a perfect matching. In this paper,…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph of order of at least 2, with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E (G)$. A set $S$ of vertices of the graph $G$ is a doubly resolving set for $G$ if every two distinct vertices of $G$ are doubly resolved by…

The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…

A 2-packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w) is a subset S of the vertices V such that any two vertices are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2-Packing Set problem that asks for a 2-packing set of…

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs with arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite and in which the undirected and directed degrees are one. The best graphs,…

Block designs are combinatorial structures in which each pair of a set of varieties appears together in a fixed number of blocks. Complete graphs are graphs in which every pair of vertices are adjacent. We present some new constructions of…

A total dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. A locating-total dominating set of $G$ is a total dominating set $D$ of $G$ with the additional property that every…

Connectivity related concepts are of fundamental interest in graph theory. The area has received extensive attention over four decades, but many problems remain unsolved, especially for directed graphs. A directed graph is 2-edge-connected…

A strong orientation of a graph $G$ is an assignment of a direction to each edge such that $G$ is strongly connected. The oriented diameter of $G$ is the smallest diameter among all strong orientations of $G$. A block of $G$ is a maximal…

Given a graph $G$, we study the $2$-edge-connected subgraph polytope $\mathrm{TECSP}(G)$, which is given by the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all $2$-edge-connected subgraphs of $G$. We describe the lattice points of this polytope…

In a graph $G = (V,E)$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is said to be a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A dominating set $S$ of $G$ is called a paired-dominating set of $G$ if the induced…

The complete double vertex graph $M_2(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertices are the $2$-multisubsets of $V(G)$, and two of such vertices are adjacent in $M_2(G)$ if their symmetric difference (as multisets) is a pair of adjacent…

A biased graph is a graph $G$, together with a distinguished subset $\mathcal{B}$ of its cycles so that no Theta-subgraph of $G$ contains precisely two cycles in $\mathcal{B}$. A large number of biased graphs can be constructed by choosing…

Given an input graph and weights on its vertices, the maximum co-2-plex problem is to find a subset of vertices maximizing the sum of their weights and inducing a graph of degree at most 1. In this article, we analyze polyhedral aspects of…
