For a graph $G$, let $c_k(G)$ be the number of spanning trees of $G$ with maximum degree at most $k$. For $k \ge 3$, it is proved that every connected $n$-vertex $r$-regular graph $G$ with $r \ge \frac{n}{k+1}$ satisfies $$ c_k(G)^{1/n} \ge…

Given graphs H_1,...,H_k, we study the minimum order of a graph G such that for each i, the induced copies of H_i in G cover V(G). We prove a general upper bound of twice the sum of the numbers m_i, where m_i is one less than the order of…

Given feasible strongly regular graph parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ and a non-negative integer $d$, we determine upper and lower bounds on the order of a $d$-regular induced subgraph of any strongly regular graph with parameters…

The extended adjacency matrix of a graph with $n$ vertices is a real symmetric matrix of order $n\times n$ whose $(i,j)$-th entry is the average of the ratio of the degree of the vertex $i$ to that of the vertex $j$ and its reciprocal when…

A graph is beyond-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with a specific restriction on crossings. Several types of beyond-planar graphs have been investigated, such as k-planar if every edge is crossed at most k times and RAC if edges can…

The energy of a graph is the sum of the moduli of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs, which can be characterized by their vertex count n and a set D of divisors…

A graph drawn in the plane with n vertices is k-fan-crossing free for k > 1 if there are no k+1 edges $g,e_1,...e_k$, such that $e_1,e_2,...e_k$ have a common endpoint and $g$ crosses all $e_i$. We prove a tight bound of 4n-8 on the maximum…

Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the spread of social contagion. Initially, all vertices are unburned. In each round, one unburned vertex is selected and burned, while any unburned vertex that has a burned neighbour from…

In this paper, we define and obtain several properties of the (adjacency) energy of a hypergraph. In particular, bounds for this energy are obtained as functions of structural and spectral parameters, such as Zagreb index and spectral…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E such that |V| = p and |E| = q. For integers k\geq 0, define an edge labeling f : E \rightarrow \{k,k+1,....,k+q-1\} and define the vertex sum for a vertex $v$ as the sum of the labels of…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

This paper generalizes and unifies the existing spectral bounds on the $k$-independence number of a graph, which is the maximum size of a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than $k$. The previous bounds known in the literature…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A(G)$. The \textit{energy} of graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is defined as the sum of absolute value of eigenvalues of $A(G)$. It was conjectured that if $A(G)$ is…

A graph is universally $k$-edge-weightable if for every $k$-element set $Q\subset\mathbb{R}$, it admits a proper $Q$-edge weighting. The settled 1-2-3 conjecture implies that for any arithmetic progression $\{a,b,c\}$, every nice regular…
