Divisorial gonality and stable divisorial gonality are graph parameters, which have an origin in algebraic geometry. Divisorial gonality of a connected graph $G$ can be defined with help of a chip firing game on $G$. The stable divisorial…

A $t$-spanner of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ in which all distances are preserved up to a multiplicative $t$ factor. A classical result of Alth\"ofer et al. is that for every integer $k$ and every graph $G$, there is a $(2k-1)$-spanner of…

For a given positive integer t we consider graphs having maximal independent sets of precisely t distinct cardinalities and restrict our attention to those that have no vertices of degree one. In the situation when t is four or larger and…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $ {sat}(G, F)$, is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. In 2017, Kor\'andi and Sudakov determined $ {sat}({G}(n, p), K_r)$…

The matching number of a $k$-graph is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint edges in it. The $k$-graph is called $t$-resilient if omitting $t$ vertices never decreases its matching number. The complete $k$-graph on $sk+k-1$ vertices has…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph, where $V$ and $E$ are the vertex and edge sets, respectively. For two disjoint subsets $A$ and $B$ of $V$, we say $A$ \textit{dominates} $B$ if every vertex of $B$ is adjacent to at least one vertex of $A$ in $G$.…

The dissociation number ${\rm diss}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum order of a set of vertices of $G$ inducing a subgraph that is of maximum degree at most $1$. Computing the dissociation number of a given graph is algorithmically hard…

We prove that if a tree $T$ has $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$, then a copy of $T$ can almost surely be found in the random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,\Delta\log^5 n/n)$.

A $\textit{sigma partitioning}$ of a graph $G$ is a partition of the vertices into sets $P_1, \ldots, P_k$ such that for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ there is an index $i$ such that $u$ and $v$ have different numbers of neighbors…

The (n,k)-star graph is a very important computer modelling. The independent number and chromatic number of a graph are two important parameters in graph theory. However, we did not know the values of this two parameters of the (n,k)-star…

We establish tightness of graph-based stochastic processes in the space $D[0+\epsilon,1-\epsilon]$ with $\epsilon >0$ that allows for discontinuities of the first kind. The graph-based stochastic processes are based on statistics…

In this paper we consider the problem of embedding almost-spanning, bounded degree graphs in a random graph. In particular, let $\Delta\geq 5$, $\varepsilon > 0$ and let $H$ be a graph on $(1-\varepsilon)n$ vertices and with maximum degree…

Given a graph $G$, the (graph theory) general position problem is to find the maximum number of vertices such that no three vertices lie on a common geodesic. This graph invariant is called the general position number (gp-number for short)…

The maximum likelihood threshold of a graph is the smallest number of data points that guarantees that maximum likelihood estimates exist almost surely in the Gaussian graphical model associated to the graph. We show that this graph…

An $r$-graph $G$ is a pair $(V,E)$ such that $V$ is a set and $E$ is a family of $r$-element subsets of $V$. The \emph{independence number} $\alpha(G)$ of $G$ is the size of a largest subset $I$ of $V$ such that no member of $E$ is a subset…

This paper is an in-depth analysis of the generalized $\vartheta$-number of a graph. The generalized $\vartheta$-number, $\vartheta_k(G)$, serves as a bound for both the $k$-multichromatic number of a graph and the maximum $k$-colorable…

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the $k$-forcing number of $G$, denoted $F_k(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices that need to be initially colored so that all vertices eventually become colored during the…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called distinguishing if no non-identity automorphisms of $G$ can preserve it. The distinguishing number of $G$, denoted by $D(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required for such a coloring, and the…

The fixing number of a graph $G$ is the order of the smallest subset $S$ of its vertex set $V(G)$ such that stabilizer of $S$ in $G$, $\Gamma_{S}(G)$ is trivial. Let $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let…

The notion of $P$-stability of an infinite set of degree sequences plays influential role in approximating the permanents, rapidly sampling the realizations of graphic degree sequences, or even studying and improving network privacy. While…
