A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…

An $H$-graph is an intersection graph of connected subgraphs of a suitable subdivision of a fixed graph $H$. Many important classes of graphs, including interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, and chordal graphs, can be expressed as…

A non-increasing sequence $\pi=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ of nonnegative integers is said to be graphic if it is realizable by a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. A graphic sequence $\pi=(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ is said to be potentially $_3C_\ell$-graphic…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a {\em homomorphism} from $G$ to $H$, or {\em $H$-coloring} of $G$, is an adjacency preserving map from the vertex set of $G$ to the vertex set of $H$. Writing ${\rm hom}(G,H)$ for the number of $H$-colorings…

We say that a graph $G$ has an {\em odd $K_4$-subdivision} if some subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a $K_4$-subdivision and whose faces are all odd holes of $G$. For a number $\ell\geq 2$, let $\mathcal{G}_{\ell}$ denote the family of…

Given a graph $G$, a decomposition of $G$ is a partition of its edges. A graph is $(d, h)$-decomposable if its edge set can be partitioned into a $d$-degenerate graph and a graph with maximum degree at most $h$. For $d \le 4$, we are…

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…

We show that every ($P_6$, diamond, $K_4$)-free graph is $6$-colorable. Moreover, we give an example of a ($P_6$, diamond, $K_4$)-free graph $G$ with $\chi(G) = 6$. This generalizes some known results in the literature.

We first prove that for every vertex x of a 4-connected graph G there exists a subgraph H in G isomorphic to a subdivision of the complete graph K4 on four vertices such that G-V(H) is connected and contains x. This implies an affirmative…

A graph is circle if there is a family of chords in a circle such that two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding chords cross each other. There are diverse characterizations of circle graphs, many of them using the notions of local…

In this paper we prove several results on Ramsey numbers $R(H,F)$ for a fixed graph $H$ and a large graph $F$, in particular for $F = K_n$. These results extend earlier work of Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp and of Balister, Schelp…

The topological containment problem is known to be polynomial-time solvable for any fixed pattern graph $H$, but good characterisations have been found for only a handful of non-trivial pattern graphs. The complete graph on five vertices,…

As usual, $P_n$ ($n \geq 1$) denotes the path on $n$ vertices, and $C_n$ ($n \geq 3$) denotes the cycle on $n$ vertices. For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say that a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is…

Unigraphs are graphs identifiable up to isomorphism from their degree sequences. Given a class $\mathcal{A}$ of graphs, we define the class of $\mathcal{A}$-unigraphs to be graphs identifiable from degree sequence and membership in…

Given graphs $H_1, H_2, \dots, H_k$, the Ramsey number $R(H_1, \dots, H_k)$ is the smallest integer $n$ for which in any coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ with colors $1,2,\dots,k$, there is some color $i$ with a…

For a graph $H$ and a $k$-chromatic graph $F,$ if the Tur\'an graph $T_{k-1}(n)$ has the maximum number of copies of $H$ among all $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs (for $n$ large enough), then $H$ is called $F$-Tur\'an-good, or $k$-Tur\'an-good…

In this paper we will apply the tensor and its traces to investigate the spectral characterization of unicyclic graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $G^m$ be the $m$-th power (hypergraph) of $G$. The spectrum of $G$ is referring to its adjacency…

A $K_4$-decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into $K_4$s. A fractional $K_4$-decomposition is an assignment of a nonnegative weight to each $K_4$ in a graph such that the sum of the weights of the $K_4$s containing any given…

Given graphs $G, H_1, H_2$, we write $G \rightarrow ({H}_1, H_2)$ if every \{red, blue\}-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a red copy of $H_1$ or a blue copy of $H_2$. A non-complete graph $G$ is $(H_1, H_2)$-co-critical if $G…

In 2012, L\'ev\^eque, Maffray, and Trotignon conjectured that each graph $G$ that contains no induced subdivision of $K_4$ is $4$-colorable. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds when $G$ contains a $K_{1,2,3}$.
