Berge defined a hypergraph to be balanced if its incidence matrix is balanced. We consider this concept applied to graphs, and call a graph to be balanced when its clique matrix is balanced. Characterizations of balanced graphs by forbidden subgraphs and by clique subgraphs are proved in this work. Using properties of domination we define four subclasses of balanced graphs. Two of them are char...

in this paper, we prove the existence of fixed point for chatterjea type mappings under $c$-distance in cone metric spaces endowed with a graph. the main results extend, generalized and unified some fixed point theorems on $c$-distance in metric and cone metric spaces.

Abstract The objective of clustering is to discover natural groups in datasets and identify geometrical structures which might reside there, without assuming any prior knowledge on the characteristics data. problem can be seen as detecting inherent separations between a given point set metric space governed by similarity function. pairwise similarities all data objects form weighted graph whose...

ÐThis paper describes a novel framework for comparing and matching corrupted relational graphs. The paper develops the idea of edit-distance originally introduced for graph-matching by Sanfeliu and Fu [1]. We show how the Levenshtein distance can be used to model the probability distribution for structural errors in the graph-matching problem. This probability distribution is used to locate mat...

Compression and sparsification algorithms are frequently applied in a preprocessing step before analyzing or optimizing large networks/graphs. In this paper we propose and study a new framework for contracting edges of a graph (merging vertices into super-vertices) with the goal of preserving pairwise distances as accurately as possible. Formally, given an edge-weighted graph, the contraction s...

Let Γ denote a D-bounded distance-regular graph, where D ≥ 3 is the diameter of Γ. For 0 ≤ s ≤ D − 3 and a weak-geodetically closed subgraph ∆ of Γ with diameter s, define a graph G(∆) whose vertex set is the collection of all weak-geodetically closed subgraphs of diameter s+2 containing ∆, and vertex Ω is adjacent to vertex Ω′ in G if and only if Ω∩Ω′ as a subgraph of Γ has diameter s+1. We sh...

We prove Ramsey-type results for intersection graphs of geometric objects the plane. In particular, we prove the following bounds, all of which are tight apart from the constant c. There is a constant c > 0 such that for every family F of n ≥ 2 convex sets in the plane, the intersection graph of F or its complement contains a balanced complete bipartite graph of size at least cn. There is a con...

The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...

A set $Wsubset V (G)$ is called a resolving set, if for every two distinct vertices $u, v in V (G)$ there exists $win W$ such that $d(u,w) not = d(v,w)$, where $d(x, y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. A resolving set for $G$ with minimum cardinality is called a metric basis. A graph with a unique metric basis is called a uniquely dimensional graph. In this paper, we establish...
