Consider the family of all finite graphs with maximum degree $\Delta(G)<d$ and matching number $\nu(G)<m$. In this paper we give a new proof to obtain the exact upper bound for the number of edges in such graphs and also characterize all…

For $l > 1$, the $l$-edge-connectivity $\kappa'_l(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as the minimum number of edges whose removal leaves a graph with at least $l$ components. A graph is minimally $(k,l)$-edge-connected if…

In this paper, we study the problem of recovering the latent vertex correspondence between two correlated random graphs with vastly inhomogeneous and unknown edge probabilities between different pairs of vertices. Inspired by and extending…

A finite simple connected graph $G$ with maximum degree $k$ is $k$-critical if it has chromatic index $\chi'(G)=k+1$ and $\chi'(G-e)=k$ for every edge $e\in E(G)$. Bej and the first author raised the question whether every $k$-critical…

In this paper we prove that the square of an essentially 2-edge connected graph with an additional property has a connected even factor with maximum degree at most 4. Moreover we show that, in general, the square of essentially 2-edge…

We prove a lower bound to quantum Max Cut of a graph in terms of the Lov\'asz theta function of its complement. For a graph with $m$ edges, $\text{qmc}(G) \geq \tfrac{m}{4}\big( 1 + \tfrac{8}{3\pi}\tfrac{1}{\vartheta(\bar{G}) -1} \big)$,…

We find conditions for the connectivity of inhomogeneous random graphs with intermediate density. Our results generalize the classical result for G(n, p), when p = c log n/n. We draw n independent points X_i from a general distribution on a…

It is well known that when $f(v)$ is a constant for each vertex $v$, the connected $f$-factor problem is NP-Complete. In this note we consider the case when $f(v) \geq \lceil \frac{n}{2.5}\rceil$ for each vertex $v$, where $n$ is the number…

An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ assigns a color to each edge of $G$. An edge-coloring is a parity edge-coloring if for each path $P$ in $G$, it uses some color on an odd number of edges in $P$. It is a strong parity edge-coloring if for…

We analyse an extremal question on the degrees of the link graphs of a finite regular graph, that is, the subgraphs induced by non-trivial spheres. We show that if $G$ is $d$-regular and connected but not complete then some link graph of…

Complex systems of interacting components often can be modeled by a simple graph $\mathcal{G}$ that consists of a set of $n$ nodes and a set of $m$ edges. Such a graph can be represented by an adjacency matrix $A\in\R^{n\times n}$, whose…

In matrix factorization, available graph side-information may not be well suited for the matrix completion problem, having edges that disagree with the latent-feature relations learnt from the incomplete data matrix. We show that removing…

Fiber graphs of Gr\"obner bases from contingency tables are important in statistical hypothesis testing, where one studies random walks on these graphs using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The connectivity of the graphs has implications…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and let $H:V(G)\rightarrow 2^N$ be a set function associating with $G$. An $H$-factor of graph $G$ is a spanning subgraphs $F$ such that $$d_F(v)\in H(v){4em}\hbox{for every}v\in V(G).$$ Let…
