A four blocks cycle C(k1,k2,k3,k4) is an oriented cycle formed by the union of four internally disjoint directed paths of lengths k1,k2,k3 and k4 respectively. El Mniny proved that if D is a digraph having a spanning out-tree T with no…

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…

We prove that, for every positive integer k, there is an integer N such that every 4-connected non-planar graph with at least N vertices has a minor isomorphic to K_{4,k}, the graph obtained from a cycle of length 2k+1 by adding an edge…

A strict confluent (SC) graph drawing is a drawing of a graph with vertices as points in the plane, where vertex adjacencies are represented not by individual curves but rather by unique smooth paths through a planar system of junctions and…

In 1974, Erd\H{o}s asked the following question: given a graph $G$ and a directed graph $\vec{H}$, how many ways are there to orient the edges of $G$ such that it does not contain $\vec{H}$ as a subgraph? We denote this value by $D(G,…

Consider a directed multigraph $D$ that is balanced (i.e., at each vertex, the indegree equals the outdegree). Let $A$ be its set of arcs. Fix an integer $k$. Let $s$ be a vertex of $D$. We show that the number of $k$-element subsets $B$ of…

For a graph $F$, let ${\rm EX}(n,F)$ be the set of $F$-free graphs of order $n$ with the maximum number of edges. The graph $F$ is called vertex-critical, if the deletion of its some vertex induces a graph with smaller chromatic number. For…

An oriented graph is a digraph obtained from an undirected graph by choosing an orientation for each edge. Given a positive integer $n$ and an oriented graph $F$, the oriented Tur$\acute{\rm a}$n number $ex_{ori}(n,F)$ is the maximum number…

Let $D$ be a digraph. A stable set $S$ of $D$ and a path partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $D$ are orthogonal if every path $P \in \mathcal{P}$ contains exactly one vertex of $S$. In 1982, Berge defined the class of $\alpha$-diperfect digraphs. A…

Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on its arcs. Guo et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 18, \#P233, 2011) and Pan et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 20, \#P36, 2013) determined all pentavalent symmetric graphs of…

Let $X$ be a family of graphs and $X_n$ the set of $n$-vertex graphs in $X$. A graph $U^{(n)}$ containing all graphs from $X_n$ as induced subgraphs is called $n$-universal for $X$. Moreover, we say that $U^{(n)}$ is a proper $n$-universal…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with degree sequence $(d_1,d_2,\cdots,d_n)$. For an integer $p>1$, let $e_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n d^{p}_i$ and let $ex_p(n,H)$ be the maximum value of $e_p(G)$ among all graphs with $n$ vertices that do not…

A cograph is a simple graph that contains no induced path on four vertices. In this paper, we consider $\mathcal{C}$-graphs, which are a specific class of cographs, defined as $$\overline{\overline{\overline{K_{\alpha_{1}}}\cup…

A graph G is (a:b)-colorable if there exists an assignment of b-element subsets of {1,...,a} to vertices of G such that sets assigned to adjacent vertices are disjoint. We show that every planar graph without cycles of length 4 or 5 is…

We describe computational results about undirected graphs having $14$ vertices and automorphism group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z}$, graphs $\Gamma$ which have less than $2|Aut(\Gamma)|$ vertices. We give one example of such…

We prove that every $n$-vertex complete simple topological graph generates at least $\Omega(n)$ pairwise disjoint $4$-faces. This improves upon a recent result by Hubard and Suk. As an immediate corollary, every $n$-vertex complete simple…

In this note we show that the maximum number of edges in a $3$-uniform hypergraph without a Berge cycle of length four is at most $(1+o(1))\frac{n^{3/2}}{\sqrt{10}}$. This improves earlier estimates by Gy\H{o}ri and Lemons and by F\"uredi…

An {\it odd $c$-coloring} of a graph is a proper $c$-coloring such that each non-isolated vertex has a color appearing an odd number of times on its neighborhood. This concept was introduced very recently by Petru\v sevski and \v Skrekovski…
