We define a broad class of graphs that generalize the Gordian graph of knots. These knot graphs take into account unknotting operations, the concordance relation, and equivalence relations generated by knot invariants. We prove that overwhelmingly, the knot graphs are not Gromov hyperbolic, with the exception of a particular family of quotient knot...

The spectral closeness of a graph $G$ is defined as the spectral radius of the closeness matrix of $G$, whose $(u,v)$-entry for vertex $u$ and vertex $v$ is $2^{-d_G(u,v)}$ if $u\not= v$ and $0$ otherwise, where $d_G(u,v)$ is the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The residual spectral closeness of $G$ is defined as the minimum spectral closeness...
We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between them is at most some threshold parameter $r$. The case of intersection graphs is a special case with $r=0$. We gi...
A graph G is undirected with V vertices and E edges. This study introduces radial radio mean labelling of graphs, a novel method of graph labelling. A radial radio mean labelling of the undirected graph G is a function g : V(G) → {1, 2, …, n} that satisfies the requirement g(u) + g(v)/2 between any two nodes u, v belongs to G and r(G) is the radius...
In this paper, we determine the graphs which have the minimal spectral radius among all the connected graphs of order n and the independence number ⌈n2⌉-1.\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsi...
We introduce and explore a new concept of scattered subspace with respect to a collection of subspaces sharing a common dimension, most notably partial spreads. We show that this concept generalises known notions of subspace scatteredness. We establish various upper bounds for the dimension of a scattered subspace with respect to arbitrary partial...

We study the C P 2 \mathbb {CP}^2 -slicing number of knots, i.e. the smallest m ≥ 0 m\geq 0 such that a knot K ⊆ S 3 K\subseteq S^3 bounds a properly embedded, null-homologous disk in a punctured connected sum ( # m C P 2 ) × (\#^m\mathbb {CP}^2)^{\times } . We find knots for which the smooth and topological C P 2 \mathbb {CP}^2 -slicing numbers are both finite, nonzero, and distinct. To do this, we give a lower bound on the smooth C P 2 \mathbb {CP}^2 -slicing number of a knot in terms of its double branched cover and an upper bound on the topological C P 2 \mathbb {CP}^2 -slicing number in terms of the Seifert form.
We study the -slicing number of knots, i.e. the smallest such that a knot bounds a properly embedded, null-homologous disk in a punctured connected sum . We give a lower bound on the smooth -slicing number of a knot in terms of its double branched cover, and we find knots with arbitrarily large but finite smooth -slicing number. We also give an upper bound on the topological -slicing number in terms of the Seifert form and find knots for which the smooth and topological -slicing numbers are both finite, nonzero, and distinct.
