Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of simple graphs (or multigraphs) $G$ such that for each $G \in \mathcal{G}$ there exists at least two non-empty disjoint proper subsets $V_{1},V_{2}\subseteq V(G)$ satisfying $V(G)\setminus(V_{1} \cup…
We classify the connected graphs with precisely three distinct eigenvalues and second largest eigenvalue at most 1.
For a planar graph with a given f-vector $(f_{0}, f_{1}, f_{2}),$ we introduce a cubic polynomial whose coefficients depend on the f-vector. The planar graph is said to be real if all the roots of the corresponding polynomial are real. Thus…
We determine all graphs whose matching polynomials have at most five distinct zeros. As a consequence, we find new families of graphs which are determined by their matching polynomial.
The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex (edge) labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. It is known that for every graph $G$…
We study the basic properties of a prime sum graph, which is a simple graph defined on $\mathbb N$ where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is a prime number. Further, we investigate some specific structures that appear…
A tangle of order $k$ in a matroid or graph may be thought of as a "$k$-connected component". For a tangle of order $k$ in a matroid or graph that satisfies a certain robustness condition, we describe a tree decomposition of the matroid or…
For all integers $k\geq 3$, we give an $O(n^4)$ time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph $G$ of girth at least $k$ together with $k$ vertices and whose question is "Does $G$ contains an induced subgraph containing the $k$…
The search of spanning trees with interesting disjunction properties has led to the introduction of edge-disjoint spanning trees, independent spanning trees and more recently completely independent spanning trees. We group together these…
Affine manifolds are called integral if there is an atlas such that all transition maps are affine transformations with integer matrices of linear parts. In this paper we describe all complete integral affine structures on compact…
Consider the nearest neighbor graph for the integer lattice Z^d in d dimensions. For a large finite piece of it, consider choosing a spanning tree for that piece uniformly among all possible subgraphs that are spanning trees. As the piece…
We say that a graph is intrinsically non-trivial if every spatial embedding of the graph contains a non-trivial spatial subgraph. We prove that an intrinsically non-trivial graph is intrinsically linked, namely every spatial embedding of…
The adjacency matrices of graphs form a special subset of the set of all integer symmetric matrices. The description of which graphs have all their eigenvalues in the interval [-2,2] (i.e., those having spectral radius at most 2) has been…
Consider an algebraic identity between elliptic modular graphs where several vertices are at fixed locations (and hence unintegrated) while the others are integrated over the toroidal worldsheet. At any unintegrated vertex, we can glue an…
We show that there exists a graph $G$ with $O(n)$ nodes, where any forest of $n$ nodes is a node-induced subgraph of $G$. Furthermore, for constant arboricity $k$, the result implies the existence of a graph with $O(n^k)$ nodes that…
A set D of vertices of a graph G with vertex set V is irredundant if each non-isolated vertex of G[D] has a neighbour in V-D that is not adjacent to any other vertex in D. The upper irredundance number IR(G) is the largest cardinality of an…
For a finite group $G$, we define the inclusion graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathcal I(G)$, is a graph having all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ in $\mathcal I(G)$ are adjacent…
Over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees or leaf containing subtrees are studied. Here are some of the main results:\ (1)\, Sharp upper bound on the total number…
A closed-form formula is derived for the number of occurrences of matches of a multiset of patterns among all ordered (plane-planted) trees with a given number of edges. A pattern looks like a tree, with internal nodes and leaves, but also…
The degree sequence of a graph is a numerical method to characterize the properties of graphs. Generalized forms of degree sequences exist for complete graphs and complete graphs. Nikolopolus et al. characterized the number of spanning…
