We prove a version of the strong Taylor's conjecture for stable graphs: if $G$ is a stable graph whose chromatic number is strictly greater than $\beth_2(\aleph_0)$ then $G$ contains all finite subgraphs of Sh$_n(\omega)$ and thus has…

In communication networks, the binding numbers of graphs (or networks) are often used to measure the vulnerability and robustness of graphs (or networks). Furthermore, the fractional factors of graphs and the fractional…

The stability number of a forbidden family measures how many different structures are needed to approximate all near-extremal constructions avoiding it. An infinite stability number means that no finite list of structures suffices. We…

A graph $X$ is said to be unstable if the direct product $X\times K_2$ (also called the canonical double cover of $X$) has automorphisms that do not come from automorphisms of its factors $X$ and $K_2$. It is non-trivially unstable if it is…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denotes the largest number of copies of $H$ in $F$-free $n$-vertex graphs. Let $\chi(H)<\chi(F)=r+1$. We say that $H$ is $F$-Tur\'an-stable if the following holds. For any $\varepsilon>0$ there…

We generalize the stable graph regularity lemma of Malliaris and Shelah to the case of finite structures in finite relational languages, e.g., finite hypergraphs. We show that under the model-theoretic assumption of stability, such a…

We present a method which provides a unified framework for most stability theorems that have been proved in graph and hypergraph theory. Our main result reduces stability for a large class of hypergraph problems to the simpler question of…

An $[a,b]$-factor of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that $a\leq d_{H}(v)\leq b$ for each $v\in V(G)$. In this paper, we provide spectral conditions for the existence of an odd $[1,b]$-factor in a connected graph with minimum…

In this paper, we extend and refine previous Tur\'an-type results on graphs with a given circumference. Let $W_{n,k,c}$ be the graph obtained from a clique $K_{c-k+1}$ by adding $n-(c-k+1)$ isolated vertices each joined to the same $k$…

In this study we consider the problem of triangulated graphs. Precisely we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be triangulated. This give an alternative characterization of triangulated graphs. Our method is based on…

The stability number of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is the cardinality of a maximum stable set, and mu(G) is the cardinality of a maximum matching in G. If alpha(G) + mu(G) equals its order, then G is a Koenig-Egervary graph. We call G…

Stable gonality is a multigraph parameter that measures the complexity of a graph. It is defined using maps to trees. Those maps, in some sense, divide the edges equally over the edges of the tree; stable gonality asks for the map with the…

A graph $G$ has the $k$-strong parity property if for any $X\subseteq V(G)$ with $|X|$ even, $G$ contains a spanning subgraph $F$ with $d_F(u)\equiv1$ (mod 2) for each $u\in X$ and $d_F(v)\in\{k,k+2,k+4,\ldots\}$ for each $v\in…

A 2-factor of a graph $G$ is a 2-regular spanning subgraph of $G$. We present a survey summarising results on the structure of 2-factors in regular graphs, as achieved by various researchers in recent years.

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…

Motivated by a result of [17], we determine necessary and sufficient conditions on $F\/$ with $|E(F)| \leq n-1\/$ for which $K_n - F\/$ admits a $g$-angulation. For $|E(F)| \geq n\/$, we investigate the possibility of placing $F\/$ in…

Stabilization of graphs has received substantial attention in recent years due to its connection to game theory. Stable graphs are exactly the graphs inducing a matching game with non-empty core. They are also the graphs that induce a…
