"Balanced" separator which is independent set
I am looking for existence results on separators of $r$-regular graphs $G=(V,E)$, which have the property that
$S\subset V$ is a separator
for all $v,w\in S$ the edge $\langle v,w\rangle\not\in E$ (i....

What is the definition of brick product of graphs?
Can anyone help me with the exact definition of brick product of graphs, say path, cycle.
I am not able to find a paper with a clear definition on the internet. Can anyone give me a URL to such a ...

Graph theory: Closed neighourhoods and generalized clustering coefficients
The neighbourhood of node $v$ in graph $G$ is the subgraph of $G$ induced by all vertices adjacent to $v$.
The number of edges between neighbours divided by the number of pairs of neighbours is ...

What is the standard definition of dual of disconnected planar graph when underlying graph derives 'product structure' over connected graphs?
Dual graph of a plane graph has a standard definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_graph and an edgeless graph on $n$ vertices is planar. What is the standard dual graph of such a graph?
Update ...

In the context of directed graphs is it standard notation to allow an element of an independent vertex set to be contained in a loop?
Given any relation $R$, that is, any set of ordered pairs, we can associate a unique digraph $D$ to our relation $R$ by setting $D=(\text{fld}(R),R)$ where $\text{fld}(R)=\text{dom}(R)\cup\text{rng}(R)...

Is there a term for this graph subset?
Suppose $G$ is a (finite) graph which is $k$-vertex colourable (i.e. $\chi(G)\leqslant k$). Suppose $S$ is a set of vertices of $G$ with the following property:
If $c:V(G)\rightarrow [k]$ is a vertex ...

Graph algebras a la Lovasz
In the article (Lovasz, section 1.3) mentions graph algebra structures on the set of formal linear combinations (over a field?) of a collection of graphs. He also mentioned quantum graphs as an ...

Does the notion of graphs with vertex multiplicity exist?
I need to use graphs where each vertex gets a natural number, $b(v)$, its multiplicity. These numbers indicate how many 'replications' of the vertex we have.
It is actually a way to write in a ...
