For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, let $A_G$ denote the adjacency matrix of $G$, and let $\lambda_1(G) \geq \lambda_2(G) \geq \dots \geq \lambda_n(G)$ be its eigenvalues. For an integer $p \geq 2$, the positive $p$-energy and…

The main paradigm of smoothed analysis on graphs suggests that for any large graph $G$ in a certain class of graphs, perturbing slightly the edges of $G$ at random (usually adding few random edges to $G$) typically results in a graph having…

Let $\kappa'(G)$ be the edge connectivity of $G$ and $G\times H$ the direct product of $G$ and $H$. Let $H$ be an arbitrary dense graph with minimal degree $\delta(H)>|H|/2$. We prove that for any graph $G$, $\kappa'(G\times…

Let $G$ be a finite, simple connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum of the average distances…

A vertex set $S$ is a generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ contains no tree on $k$ vertices. The generalized $k$-independence number $\alpha_k(G)$ is the maximum size of such a set. For a tree $T$ with $n$…

For an integer $\ell\geqslant 2$, the $\ell$-component connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kappa_{\ell}(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in a disconnected graph with at least $\ell$ components or a…

Connectivity is a cornerstone concept in graph theory, essential for evaluating the robustness of networks against failures. To better capture fault tolerance in complex systems, researchers have extended classical connectivity notions, one…

Let $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $\pi_{G}(S)$ denote the maximum number $t$ of edge-disjoint paths $P_{1},P_{2},\ldots,P_{t}$ in a graph $G$ such that $V(P_{i})\cap V(P_{j})=S$ for any $i,j\in\{1,2,\ldots,t\}$ and $i\neq j$. If $S=V(G)$, then…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, we denote by $$S_k(D(G))=\lambda_1(D(G))+\cdots+\lambda_k(D(G))$$ the sum of $k$ largest distance eigenvalues of $G$. In this paper, we consider the sharp upper bound and…

Let G be a connected graph. The toughness of 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)\geq 2 where c(G-S) denotes the number of components of G-S.…

A graph is said to be $\mathcal{H}(n, \Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. Using a `matching-based' embedding technique introduced by Alon and F\"uredi, Dellamonica, Kohayakawa,…

We present a concept called the branch-depth of a connectivity function, that generalizes the tree-depth of graphs. Then we prove two theorems showing that this concept aligns closely with the notions of tree-depth and shrub-depth of graphs…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, $p$ the order of a longest path and $\kappa$ the connectivity of $G$. In 1989, Bauer, Broersma Li and Veldman proved that if $G$ is a 2-connected graph with $d(x)+d(y)+d(z)\ge n+\kappa$ for all triples…

Given an increasing graph property $\mathcal{P}$, a graph $G$ is $\alpha$-resilient with respect to $\mathcal{P}$ if, for every spanning subgraph $H\subseteq G$ where each vertex keeps more than a $(1-\alpha)$-proportion of its neighbours,…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. An edge subset $F\subseteq E(G)$ is called a restricted edge-cut if $G-F$ is disconnected and has no isolated vertices. The restricted edge-connectivity $\lambda'(G)$ of $G$ is…

The connectivity of a network directly signifies its reliability and fault-tolerance. Structure and substructure connectivity are two novel generalizations of the connectivity. Let $H$ be a subgraph of a connected graph $G$. The structure…
