A vertex subset of a graph is called a distance-$k$ independent set if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal…

The Systematic Normal Form (SysNF) is a canonical form of lattices introduced in [Eldar,Shor '16], in which the basis entries satisfy a certain co-primality condition. Using a "smooth" analysis of lattices by SysNF lattices we design a…

A vertex of degree one is called an end-vertex, and an end-vertex of a tree is called a leaf. A tree with at most $k$ leaves is called a $k$-ended tree. For a positive integer $k$, let $t_k$ be the order of a largest $k$-ended tree. Let…

We focus on strongly connected, strong for short, digraphs since in this setting distance is defined for every pair of vertices. Distance ideals generalize the spectrum and Smith normal form of several distance matrices associated with…

Distance well-defined graphs consist of connected undirected graphs, strongly connected directed graphs and strongly connected mixed graphs. Let $G$ be a distance well-defined graph, and let ${\sf D}(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$.…

We introduce a general technique for proving estimates for certain random planar maps which belong to the $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) universality class for $\gamma \in (0,2)$. The family of random planar maps we consider are…

Among those real symmetric matrices whose graph is a given tree $T$, the maximum multiplicity $M(T)$ that can be attained by an eigenvalue is known to be the path cover number of $T$. We say that a tree is $k$-NIM if, whenever an eigenvalue…

In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the rank of the $Q$-walk matrix of the Dynkin graph $A_n$. Moreover, we prove that its Smith normal form is $$ \mathrm{diag}\left( \underset{r=\lceil \frac{n}{2}…

Graham and Pollak showed in 1971 that the determinant of a tree's distance matrix depends only on its number of vertices, and, in particular, it is always nonzero. The Steiner distance of a collection of $k$ vertices in a graph is the…

A connected graph $\G$ is called {\em nicely distance--balanced}, whenever there exists a positive integer $\gamma=\gamma(\G)$, such that for any two adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ there are exactly $\gamma$ vertices of $\G$ which are…

It is well known that the spectrum and the Smith normal form of a matrix can be computed in polynomial time. Thus, it is interesting to explore how good are these parameters for distinguishing graphs. This is relevant since it is related to…

In this note we extend White's deformation theorem for G-flat chains to the setting of G-flat tensor chains. As a corollary we obtain that the groups of normal tensor chains identify with some subgroups of normal chains. Moreover the…

We define the average $k$-TSP distance $\mu_{tsp,k}$ of a graph $G$ as the average length of a shortest walk visiting $k$ vertices, i.e. the expected length of the solution for a random TSP instance with $k$ uniformly random chosen…

An added edge to a graph is called an inset edge. Predicting k inset edges which minimize the average distance of a graph is known to be NP-Hard. When k = 1 the complexity of the problem is polynomial. In this paper, we further find the…

In this paper we introduce and study three new measures for efficient discriminative comparison of phylogenetic trees. The NNI navigation dissimilarity $d_{nav}$ counts the steps along a "combing" of the Nearest Neighbor Interchange (NNI)…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple, unweighted, connected graph. Let $d(u,v)$ denote the distance between vertices $u,v$. A resolving set of $G$ is a subset $S$ of $V$ such that knowing the distance from a vertex $v$ to every vertex in $S$ uniquely…

We calculate the distribution with respect to the vacuum state of the distance-$k$ graph of a $d$-regular tree. From this result we show that the distance-$k$ graph of a $d$-regular graphs converges to the distribution of the distance-$k$…

In quantum mechanics, the Schrieffer--Wolff (SW) transformation (also called quasi-degenerate perturbation theory) is known as an approximative method to reduce the dimension of the Hamiltonian. We present a geometric interpretation of the…

Given a tree $T$, let $q(T)$ be the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues in a symmetric matrix whose underlying graph is $T$. It is well known that $q(T)\geq d(T)+1$, where $d(T)$ is the diameter of $T$, and a tree $T$ is said to be…

This paper establishes an upper bound on the number of generalized cospectral mates of simple graphs, where the generalized spectrum consists of the spectrum of a graph and its complement. Moving beyond the classical problem of identifying…
