A matchstick graph is a plane graph with edges drawn as unit distance line segments. This class of graphs was introduced by Harborth who conjectured that a matchstick graph on $n$ vertices can have at most $\lfloor 3n - \sqrt{12n -…
A matchstick graph is a plane graph with edges drawn as unit-distance line segments. Harborth introduced these graphs in 1981 and conjectured that the maximum number of edges for a matchstick graph on $n$ vertices is $\lfloor…
A matchstick graph is a planar unit-distance graph. We call it \emph{4-regular} if every vertex has degree 4. While examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs with fewer than 63 vertices are known only for $n \in \{52, 54, 57, 60\}$, we prove…
A 4-regular matchstick graph is a planar unit-distance graph whose vertices have all degree 4. Examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs are currently known for all number of vertices $\geq$ 52 except for 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, and 62. In…
A graph whose vertices are points in the plane and whose edges are noncrossing straight-line segments of unit length is called a \emph{matchstick graph}. We prove two somewhat counterintuitive results concerning the maximum number of edges…
The first part (page 1 - 7) of this article presents the currently known examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs with 63 - 70 vertices. The second part (page 8 - 15) presents the currently known examples of $(2;4)$-regular matchstick graphs…
A graph G=(V,E) is called a unit-distance graph in the plane if there is an injective embedding of V in the plane such that every pair of adjacent vertices are at unit distance apart. If additionally the corresponding edges are non-crossing…
The number of topologies and non-homeomorphic topologies on a fixed finite set are now known up to $n=18$, $n=16$ but still no complete formula yet (Sloane). There are one to one correspondence among topologies, preorder and digraphs. In…
We create the unlabeled or vertex-labeled graphs with up to 10 edges and up to 10 vertices and classify them by a set of standard properties: directed or not, vertex-labeled or not, connectivity, presence of isolated vertices, presence of…
We show that a matchstick graph with $n$ vertices has no more than $3n-c\sqrt{n-1/4}$ edges, where $c=\frac12(\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{2\pi\sqrt{3}})$. The main tools in the proof are the Euler formula, the isoperimetric inequality, and an upper…
In this paper, an effort is made to classify which prime character degree graphs having eight vertices occur for some finite solvable group. To approach this, we compile known results and constructions from the literature which are used to…
We determine the maximum number of edges that a planar graph can have as a function of its maximum degree and matching number.
We study here the graphs with seven vertices in an effort to classify which of them appear as the prime character degree graphs of finite solvable groups. This classification is complete for the disconnected graphs. Of the 853…
We investigate prime character degree graphs of solvable groups that have six vertices. There are one hundred twelve non-isomorphic connected graphs with six vertices, of which all except nine are classified in this paper. We also…
A matchstick graph is a crossing-free unit-distance graph in the plane. Harborth (1981) proposed the problem of determining whether there exists a matchstick graph in which every vertex has degree exactly $5$. In 1982, Blokhuis gave a proof…
A matching is a set of edges without common endpoint. It was recently shown that every 1-planar graph (i.e., a graph that can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge) that has minimum degree 3 has a matching of size at…
A consistent path system in a graph $G$ is an intersection-closed collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. We call $G$ metrizable if every consistent path system in it is the system of geodesic paths…
We prove that a graph on up to 9 vertices is a unit-distance graph if and only if it does not contain one of 74 so-called minimal forbidden graphs. This extends the work of Chilakamarri and Mahoney (1995), who provide a similar…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a unit-distance graph in the plane if there is an injective embedding of $V$ in the plane such that every pair of adjacent vertices are at unit distance apart. If additionally the corresponding edges are…
We show that the edges of any planar graph of maximum degree at most $9$ can be partitioned into $4$ linear forests and a matching. Combined with known results, this implies that the edges of any planar graph $G$ of odd maximum degree…
