Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

Can someone please help me understand the concept of twins?

You can use this: if $u\ne x$, $$dist(u,x)=1+\min\{dist(w,x):uw\in E\}.$$

Path that meets every other path

In a directed graph $G$, what do we call a path, a sequence of edges $$(v_0,v_1),(v_1,v_2),\dots,(v_{n-1},v_n)$$ of length $n$, that intersects every other path of the same length $$(w_0,w_1),(w_1,w_2 …

Another graph characteristic

I don't know that your characteristic has been explicitly studied before, nor would I be surprised if it has, but it fits into a more general setting as follows. The directed graph distance $d(a,b)$ …

Identifying two non-adjacent vertices and the effect on the Hadwiger number

Identify two opposite vertices of the cycle graph $C_4$. This reduces the Hadwiger number from 3 to 2.

Is there a standard term for this graph/set theoretic concept?

In philosophy, this would be called family resemblance -- if $E_i\cap E_j\ne\emptyset$ and $E_j\cap E_k\ne\emptyset$ then $E_i$ and $E_k$ have a family resemblance. That is, perhaps I have no common …

Sum-graph over an infinite set

No, let $S=2\mathbb N$, the set of even numbers. Then $2\mathbb N$ and $2\mathbb N+1$ (the set of odd nunbers) are two distinct connected components of $G_S$. (Also, they are both complete subgraphs …

Removing subtrees

Yes. In fact you can take the tree corresponding to all sequences $ x$ of 0s and 1s such that the fraction of 1s is no more than 2/3.

How to infer missing nodes from a path?

Algorithm create the two-nearest-neighbors graph $N_2$ using the first data set. That is, let each station be connected to the two closest stations. for a path in the second data set, assume that th …

Natural constructions (not depending on parameters)

I guess somehow we should rule out spurious ways to depend on parameter, such as "a graph is $k$-cliqueish if either $k=1$ and the graph is connected, or $k\ge 2$ and the graph has a clique of s …

There are some references and some more information in the entry on the number of asymmetric graphs on n nodes in the OEIS (Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences): F. Harary and E. M. Palmer, Grap …

Path cardinality for random $(a+b)$-ary infinite trees

Yes, $T(a,b)$ has continuum cardinality when $a+b>1$... with positive probability. Of course there is also positive probability that $T(a,b)$ has no infinite paths, if $a<1$ and $b<1$. $T(1,0)$ h …
