Abstract
Graph products, their invariants and related topics will be considered. Median graphs will also be studied with emphasis on recognition problem. New characterizations and properties of median graphs will be developed for this purpose. We will also try to generalize some of these results to the non-bipartite case, in particular to partial Hamming graphs and quasi-median graphs. Besides median graphs other classes of isometric subgraphs of hypercubes will be also considered: partial cubes, semi-median graphs, almost-median graphs, acyclic cubical complexes, quasi-median graphs and partial Hamming graphs. A special emphasis will be given to the study of hierarchy of these classes of graphs and their connections with the so-called expansion procedures. Metric graph theory will be applied in chemical graph theory for computing several topological invariants, for instance the Wiener index and the Hyper-Wiener index. We will also consider clique-gated graphs and the problem of computing the smallest number of linear forests. In the area of algorithmic graph theory we plan to consider and develop fast recognition algorithms for the above mentioned classes of graphs, in particular for median graphs, acyclic cubical complexes and semi-median graphs. We will also try to obtain some nontrivial lower bound for the recognition complexities of these classes. In addition, we will also study problems connected to the generalizations of the classical Tower of Hanoi problem. One of the main goals of the research group is a monograph that will cover graph products, their isometric subgraphs, and related topics.
