We explore the question asking for graphs G for which the total distance decreases, possibly by a fixed constant k, upon the removal of any of its vertices. We obtain results leading to intuition and doubts for the Šoltés' problem () and its conjectures.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematics and Computation addresses work at the interface between applied mathematics, numerical computation, and applications of systems – oriented ideas to the physical, biological, social, and behavioral sciences, and emphasizes papers of a computational nature focusing on new algorithms, their analysis and numerical results.
In addition to presenting research papers, Applied Mathematics and Computation publishes review articles and single–topics issues.
