The degree set of a graph is the set of its degrees. Kapoor et al. [Degree sets for graphs, Fund. Math. 95 (1977) 189-194] proved that for every set of positive integers, there exists a graph of diameter at most two and radius one with that degree set. Furthermore, the minimum order of such a graph is determined. A graph is 2-self- centered if its radius and diameter are two. In this paper for ...

A subgraph of a vertex-colored graph is said to be tropical whenever it contains each color of the graph. In this work we study the problem of finding a minimal connected tropical subgraph. We first show that this problem is NP-Hard for trees, interval graphs and split graphs, but polynomial when the number of colors is logarithmic in terms of the order of the graph (i.e. FPT). We then provide ...

Graph theory has an important role in the area of applications of networks and clustering‎. ‎In the case of dealing with uncertain data‎, ‎we must utilize ambiguous data such as fuzzy value‎, ‎fuzzy interval value or values of fuzzy number‎. ‎In this study‎, ‎values of fuzzy number were used‎. ‎Initially‎, ‎we utilized the fuzzy number value fuzzy relation and then proposed fuzzy number-value f...

An interval graph is the intersection graph of a collection of intervals. Interval graphs are a special class of chordal graphs. This class of graphs has a wide range of applications. Several linear time algorithms have been designed to recognize interval graphs. Booth & Lueker first used PQ-trees to recognize interval graphs in linear time. However, the data manipulation of PQ-trees is rather ...

An exact formula for the expected length of the minimum spanning tree of a connected graph, with independent and identical edge distribution, is given, which generalizes Steele’s formula in the uniform case. For a complete graph, the difference of expected lengths between exponential distribution, with rate one, and uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1) is shown to be positive and of rate...

We consider the problem of finding interval representations of graphs that additionally respect given interval lengths and/or pairwise intersection lengths, which are represented as weight functions on the vertices and edges, respectively. Pe’er and Shamir proved that the problem is NP-complete if only the former are given [SIAM J. Discr. Math. 10.4, 1997]. We give both a linear-time and a logs...
