Topologies induced by graph metrics on the vertex set of graphs

Abstract

This paper presents a method of constructing topologies on the vertex set of a graph G induced by open balls with respect to the graph metric viz. geodesic distance, detour distance, circular distance and circular D-distance on the vertex set of G. Also, this paper explores the topologies induced by eccentric neighbourhoods of vertices of a graph and presents the nature of topologies generated by various graph metrics on the vertex set of some standard graphs.
