We consider the classification problem for several classes of countable structures which are "vertex-transitive", meaning that the automorphism group acts transitively on the elements. (This is sometimes called homogeneous.) We show that…

A triangle decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into triangles. A fractional triangle decomposition of a graph is an assignment of a non-negative weight to each of its triangles such that the sum of the weights of the…

The edge betweenness centrality of an edge is loosely defined as the fraction of shortest paths between all pairs of vertices passing through that edge. In this paper, we investigate graphs where the edge betweenness centrality of edges is…

A graph $G$ admits an $H$-tiling if it contains a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$. In this paper, we confirm a conjecture proposed by K\"{u}hn, Osthus, and Treglown by showing that for any given graph $H$, there exists a…

A divisor graph $G$ is an ordered pair $(V, E)$ where $V \subset \mathbbm{Z}$ and for all $u \neq v \in V$, $u v \in E$ if and only if $u \mid v$ or $v \mid u$. A graph which is isomorphic to a divisor graph is also called a divisor graph.…

A graph $\Gamma$ is called edge-regular whenever it is regular and for any two adjacent vertices, the number of their common neighbors is independent of the choice of vertices. A clique $C$ in $\Gamma$ is called regular whenever for any…

Given an edge-coloring of a graph, the palette of a vertex is defined as the set of colors of the edges which are incident with it. We define the palette index of a graph as the minimum number of distinct palettes, taken over all…

We study the problem of half-domination sets of vertices in vertex transitive infinite graphs generated by regular or semi-regular tessellations of the plane. In some cases, the results obtained are sharp and in the rest, we show upper…

The domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of vertex disjoint dominating sets that partition the vertex set of the graph. In this paper we consider the fractional variant of this notion. Graphs with fractional domatic number 1 are…

In this note, we fix a graph $H$ and ask into how many vertices can each vertex of a clique of size $n$ can be "split" such that the resulting graph is $H$-free. Formally: A graph is an $(n,k)$-graph if its vertex sets is a pairwise…

An independent vertex subset $S$ of the directed graph $G$ is a kernel if the set of out-neighbors of $S$ is $V(G)\setminus S$. An independent vertex subset $Q$ of $G$ is a quasi-kernel if the union of the first and second out-neighbors…

A topological graph is a graph drawn in the plane. A topological graph is $k$-plane, $k>0$, if each edge is crossed at most $k$ times. We study the problem of partitioning the edges of a $k$-plane graph such that each partite set forms a…

In this work we study the asymptotic traffic flow in Gromov's hyperbolic graphs. We prove that under certain mild hypotheses the traffic flow in a hyperbolic graph tends to pass through a finite set of highly congested nodes. These nodes…

In this paper, a complete classification of finite simple cubic vertex-transitive graphs of girth $6$ is obtained. It is proved that every such graph, with the exception of the Desargues graph on $20$ vertices, is either a skeleton of a…

A clique (resp., independent set) in a graph is strong if it intersects every maximal independent sets (resp., every maximal cliques). A graph is CIS if all of its maximal cliques are strong and localizable if it admits a partition of its…

We prove a number of results around kernelization of problems parameterized by the size of a given vertex cover of the input graph. We provide three sets of simple general conditions characterizing problems admitting kernels of polynomial…

The weak cop number of infinite graphs can be seen as a coarse-geometric analogue to the cop number of finite graphs. We show that every vertex transitive graph with at least one thick end has infinite weak cop number. It follows that every…

A nut graph is a simple graph for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry. If the isolated vertex is excluded as trivial, nut graphs have seven or more vertices;…

We investigate connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs whose edge sets admit a partition into a $2$-factor $\mathcal{C}$ and a $1$-factor that is invariant under a vertex-transitive subgroup of the automorphism group of the graph and where…

The (two) core of a hypergraph is the maximal collection of hyperedges within which no vertex appears only once. It is of importance in tasks such as efficiently solving a large linear system over GF[2], or iterative decoding of low-density…
