Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fairbairn, D., Mertzios, G., & Peyerimhoff, N. (2025, December). NP-completeness of the combinatorial distance matrix realisation problem. Presented at 14th International Symposium on Algorithms and Complexity (CIAC 2025), Rome, Italy

The k-CombDMR problem is that of determining whether an n×n distance matrix can be realised by n vertices in some undirected graph with n+k vertices. This problem has a simple solution in the case k=0. In this paper we show that this problem is polyn... Read More about NP-completeness of the combinatorial distance matrix realisation problem.

We construct a new family of trivalent expanders tessellating hyperbolic surfaces with large isometry groups. These graphs are obtained from a family of Cayley graphs of nilpotent groups via (Delta–Y)-transformations. We study combinatorial, topologi...
