Mutual-visibility problems in Kneser and Johnson graphs

Let G be a connected graph and X subset of V (G). By definition, two vertices u and v are X-visible in G if there exists a shortest u, v-path with all internal vertices being outside of the set X. The largest size of X such that any two vertices of G (resp. any two vertices from X) are X-visible is the total mutual-visibility number (resp. the mutual-visibility number) of G. In this paper, we determine the total mutual-visibility number of Kneser graphs, bipartite Kneser graphs, and Johnson graphs. The formulas proved for Kneser, and bipartite Kneser graphs are related to the size of transversal-critical uniform hypergraphs, while the total mutual-visibility number of Johnson graphs is equal to a hypergraph Tur & aacute;n number. Exact values or estimations for the mutual-visibility number over these graph classes are also established.
