For a positive integer \( k \), let \( [k] = \{1, 2, \ldots, k\} \). Let \( h \) be a non-negative integer, and let \( n \) be a multiple of \( h + 1 \). Define \( H \) as the disjoint union of \( n/(h+1) \) cliques (each of size \( h + 1…

A graphic sequence $\pi$ is potentially $H$-graphic if there is some realization of $\pi$ that contains $H$ as a subgraph. The Erd\H{o}s-Jacobson-Lehel problem asks to determine $\sigma(H,n)$, the minimum even integer such that any $n$-term…

Let $A_n=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$ and $B_n=(b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n)$ be nonnegative integer sequences with $A_n\le B_n$. The purpose of this note is to give a good characterization such that every integer sequence $\pi=(d_1,d_2,\ldots d_n)$ with…

A sequence D=(d1, d2, ..., dn) of positive integers is graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph, called in this case a {\em realization} of D. In this paper, we introduce the operation of 2-reduction, that subtracts 1 from two…

A finite non-increasing sequence of positive integers $d = (d_1\geq \cdots\geq d_n)$ is called a degree sequence if there is a graph $G = (V,E)$ with $V = \{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ and $deg(v_i)=d_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$. In that case we say that…

A homogeneous set of an $n$-vertex graph is a set $X$ of vertices ($2\le |X|\le n-1$) such that every vertex not in $X$ is either complete or anticomplete to $X$. A graph is called prime if it has no homogeneous set. A chain of length $t$…

A graph $G$ is perfectly divisible if, for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, either $V(H)$ is a stable set or admits a partition into two sets $X_1$ and $X_2$ such that $\omega(H[X_1]) < \omega(H)$ and $H[X_2]$ is a perfect graph. In this…
