In this paper, we show that the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects a connected strongly regular graph into non-singleton components, equals the size of the neighborhood of an edge for many graphs. These include blocks…
We present a generalization of Brouwer's conjectural family of inequalities -- a popular family of inequalities in spectral graph theory bounding the partial sum of the Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs -- for the case of abstract simplicial…
We show that for a sequence of random graphs Brouwer's conjecture holds true with probability tending to one as the number of vertices tends to infinity. Surprisingly, it was found that a similar statement holds true for weighted graphs…
The graph reconstruction conjecture states that all graphs on at least three vertices are determined up to isomorphism by their deck. In this paper, a general framework for this problem is proposed to simply explain the reconstruction of…
If $G$ is a simple graph and $\rho\in[0,1]$, the reliability $R_G(\rho)$ is the probability of $G$ being connected after each of its edges is removed independently with probability $\rho$. A simple graph $G$ is a \emph{uniformly most…

Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum average…
Coarse graph theory concerns finding 'coarse' analogues of graph theory theorems, replacing disjointness with being far apart. One of the most interesting open questions is to find a coarse analogue of Menger's theorem, which characterizes…
We prove that any \(2\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices with minimum degree \(\delta(G) \ge \frac{n}{4}+2\) contains a \(2\)-connected subgraph of order \(k\) for every integer \(k\) with \(4 \le k \le n\). This improves a previous…
Highly regular graphs for which not all regularities are explainable by symmetries are fascinating creatures. Some of them like, e.g., the line graph of W.~Kantor's non-classical $\mathrm{GQ}(5^2,5)$, are stumbling stones for existing…
The Graph Reconstruction Conjecture famously posits that any undirected graph on at least three vertices is determined up to isomorphism by its family of (unlabeled) induced subgraphs. At present, the conjecture admits partial resolutions…
Kriesel conjectured that every minimally $1$-tough graph has a vertex with degree precisely $2$. Katona and Varga (2018) proposed a generalized version of this conjecture which says that every minimally $t$-tough graph has a vertex with…
One of the major results of [N. Robertson and P. D. Seymour. Graph minors. XIII. The disjoint paths problem. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 63(1):65--110, 1995], also known as the weak structure theorem, revealed the local structure of graphs…
Let v(G) and dom(G) denote the number of vertices and the domination number of a graph G, and let r (G) = dom(G)/v(G)$. Let [x] and ]x[ be the floor and the ceiling of a number x. In 1996 B. Reed conjectured that if G is a cubic graph, then…
We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…
The toughness $t(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $t(G)=\min\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}\}$, in which the minimum is taken over all proper subsets $S\subset V(G)$ such that $c(G-S)>1$, where $c(G-S)$ denotes the number of components of…
A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that strongly regular graphs with at least six vertices are $2$-reconstructible.
In 1995, Brouwer proved that the toughness of a connected $k$-regular graph $G$ is at least $k/\lambda-2$, where $\lambda$ is the maximum absolute value of the non-trivial eigenvalues of $G$. Brouwer conjectured that one can improve this…
A classical result of Robertson and Seymour (1986) states that the treewidth of a graph is linearly tied to its separation number: the smallest integer $k$ such that, for every weighting of the vertices, the graph admits a balanced…
Aldous and Fill (2002) conjectured that the maximum relaxation time for the random walk on a connected regular graph with $n$ vertices is $(1+o(1)) \frac{3n^{2}}{2\pi ^{2}}$. A conjecture by Guiduli and Mohar (1996) predicts the structure…
