We give a (1+ϵ)-approximate distance oracle with O(1) query time for an undirected planar graph G with n vertices and non-negative edge lengths. For ϵ>0 and any two vertices u and v in G, our oracle ...gives a distance d˜(u,v) with stretch (1+ϵ) in O(1) time. The oracle has size O(nlogn((logn)/ϵ+f(ϵ))) and pre-processing time O(nlogn((log3n)/ϵ2+f(ϵ))), where f(ϵ)=2O(1/ϵ). This is the first (1+ϵ)-approximate distance oracle with O(1) query time independent of ϵ and the size and pre-processing time nearly linear in n, and improves the query time O(1/ϵ) of previous (1+ϵ)-approximate distance oracle with size nearly linear in n.

Water utilities face a challenge in maintaining a good quality of service under a wide range of operational management and failure conditions. Tools for assessing the resilience of water distribution ...networks are therefore essential for both operational and maintenance optimization. In this paper, a novel graph-theoretic approach for the assessment of resilience for large scale water distribution networks is presented. This is of great importance for the management of large scale water distribution systems, most models containing up to hundreds of thousands of pipes and nodes. The proposed framework is mainly based on quantifying the redundancy and capacity of all possible routes from demand nodes to their supply sources. This approach works well with large network sizes since it does not rely on precise hydraulic simulations, which require complex calibration processes and computation, while remaining meaningful from a physical and a topological point of view. The proposal is also tailored for the analysis of sectorised networks through a novel multiscale method for analysing connectivity, which is successfully tested in operational utility network models made of more than 100,000 nodes and 110,000 pipes.

In this paper, we use the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph. The Riordan graphs are a far-reaching generalization of the well known and well studied Pascal graphs ...and Toeplitz graphs, and also some other families of graphs. The Riordan graphs are proved to have a number of interesting (fractal) properties, which can be useful in creating computer networks with certain desirable features, or in obtaining useful information when designing algorithms to compute values of graph invariants. The main focus in this paper is the study of structural properties of families of Riordan graphs obtained from infinite Riordan graphs, which includes a fundamental decomposition theorem and certain conditions on Riordan graphs to have an Eulerian trail/cycle or a Hamiltonian cycle. We will study spectral properties of the Riordan graphs in a follow up paper.

Let Kv be the complete graph of order v. A (K2,K1,3)-URD(v;r,s) is a decomposition of Kv into a set of subgraphs which can be partitioned into r parallel classes containing only copies of K2 and s ...parallel classes containing only copies of K1,3, such that every point of Kv appears exactly once in some subgraphs of each parallel class. S. Küçükçifçi et al. have completely solved the existence of a (K2,K1,3)-URD(v;r,s) with minimum number of 1-factors and with 14 possible exceptions. In this paper, we shall give some new constructions for (K2,K1,3)-URDs, and completely solve the existence of a (K2,K1,3)-URD(v;r,s)for any admissible parameters v,r and s.

A Gallai coloring of a complete graph Kn is an edge coloring without triangles colored with three different colors. A sequence e1≥⋯≥ek of positive integers is an (n,k)-sequence if ∑i=1kei=n2. An ...(n,k)-sequence is a G-sequence if there is a Gallai coloring of Kn with k colors such that there are ei edges of color i for all i,1≤i≤k. Gyárfás, Pálvölgyi, Patkós and Wales proved that for any integer k≥3 there exists an integer g(k) such that every (n,k)-sequence is a G-sequence if and only if n≥g(k). They showed that g(3)=5,g(4)=8 and 2k−2≤g(k)≤8k2+1.
We show that g(5)=10 and give almost matching lower and upper bounds for g(k) by showing that with suitable constants α,β>0, αk1.5lnk≤g(k)≤βk1.5 for all sufficiently large k.

Recently, we have introduced two graph-decomposition theorems based on a new graph product, motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This ...vertex-removing synchronised product (VRSP) is based on modifications of the well-known Cartesian product and is closely related to the synchronised product due to Wöhrle and Thomas.
Here, we show how we can relax the requirements of these two graph-decomposition theorems.
A double-star Sq1,q2 is the graph consisting of the union of two stars, K1,q1 and K1,q2, together with an edge joining their centers. The spectrum for Sq1,q2-designs, i.e., the set of all the n∈N ...such that an Sq1,q2-design of the order n exists, is well-known when q1=q2=2. In this article, S2,2-designs satisfying additional properties are investigated. We determine the spectrum for S2,2-designs that can be transformed into (K4−e)-designs by a double squash (bi-squash) passing through middle designs whose blocks are copies of a bull (the graph consisting of a triangle and two pendant edges). Here, the use of the difference method enables obtaining cyclic decompositions and determining the spectrum for cyclic S2,2-designs that can be purely bi-squashed into cyclic (K4−e)-designs (the middle bull designs are also cyclic).
Let Γ(Zn ) be the zero-divisor graph whose vertices are the nonzero zero divisors of Zn , and such that two vertices u,υ are adjacent if n divides uυ. Let \({K}_{p-1}^{f}\) denotes the fuzzy complete ...graph on p − 1 vertices and let \({K}_{p-1}^{f}\) denote a fuzzy star with p − 1 edges. In this paper, we have analyzed the fuzzy zero divisor graph of Γf (Zp 3) is decomposition into 1-complete \({K}_{p-1}^{f}\) and p(p − 1) copies of star graph \({K}_{p-1}^{f}\) where p is prime number and p > 2.
