Let $F$ and $G$ be simple finite oriented graphs (without symmetric arcs). A graph $G$ is called $F$-irregular if any two distinct vertices in $G$ belong to a different number of subgraphs of $G$ isomorphic to $F$. In this paper, we…

A classical enumerative result states that, given a graph $G$ and a vertex $u$, the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ is equal to the number of orientations of $G$ such that every vertex can reach $u$ by a directed path. We show that…

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.…

We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the number of edges a graph $G$ must have in order that any $r$-colouring of $E(G)$ has a colour class which contains every $D$-degenerate graph on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree. We also…

The paper examines a partial order on bipartite graphs (X1, X2, E) with n vertices, X1UX2={1,2,...,n}. This partial order is a natural partial order of subobjects of an object in a triangular category with bipartite graphs as morphisms.

Chung and Graham considered the problem of minimizing the number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing all $n$-vertex trees as a subgraph. They showed that such a graph has at least $\frac{1}{2}n \log{n}$ edges. In this note, we…

A simple and connected $n$-vertex graph has a prime vertex labeling if the vertices can be injectively labeled with the integers $1, 2, 3,\ldots, n$, such that adjacent vertices have relatively prime labels. We will present previously…

The general position number for graphs ask for largest vertex subsets $S$ such that no three vertices are contained on a common shortest path. We examine this problem in the setting of directed graphs. We provide bounds for the general…

A set $U\subseteq \reals^2$ is $n$-universal if all $n$-vertex planar graphs have a planar straight-line embedding into $U$. We prove that if $Q \subseteq \reals^2$ consists of points chosen randomly and uniformly from the unit square then…

We present exact and heuristic algorithms that find, for a given family of graphs, a graph that contains each member of the family as an induced subgraph. For $0 \leq k \leq 6$, we give the minimum number of vertices $f(k)$ in a graph…

Unigraphs are graphs identifiable up to isomorphism from their degree sequences. Given a class $\mathcal{A}$ of graphs, we define the class of $\mathcal{A}$-unigraphs to be graphs identifiable from degree sequence and membership in…

A subgraph-universal graph/a topological minor-universal graph in a class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ is a graph in $\mathcal{G}$ which contains every graph in $\mathcal{G}$ as a subgraph/topological minor. We prove that the class $\mathcal{P}$…

Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. To be more formal, a graph $G$ is a median graph if, for all $\mu, u,v\in…

A graph G on n vertices is said to be extendable if G can be modified to form a new graph H on more than n vertices, while preserving the degrees of the vertices common to G and H. The added vertices all have the same degree and we define…

A bipartite graph is called bipancyclic if it contains cycles of every even length from four up to the number of vertices in the graph. A theorem of Schmeichel and Mitchem states that for $n \geq 4$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$…

We present a simple proof for the universality of invariant and equivariant tensorized graph neural networks. Our approach considers a restricted intermediate hypothetical model named Graph Homomorphism Model to reach the universality…

Given a family of hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$, we say that a hypergraph $\Gamma$ is $\mathcal{H}$-universal if it contains every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ as a subgraph. For $D, r \in \mathbb{N}$, we construct an $r$-uniform hypergraph with…

We consider unitary graphs attached to Z_d^n using an analogue of the Euclidean distance. These graphs are shown to be integral when n is odd or the dimension d is even.

A graph is $n$-e.c. ($n$-existentially closed) if for every pair of subsets $A, B$ of vertex set $V$ of the graph such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and $|A| + |B| = n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A \cup B$ joined to each vertex of $A$ and…

We show that for all $n \equiv 0 \pmod{6}$, $n \geq 18$, there is an orientable triangular embedding of the octahedral graph on $n$ vertices that can be augmented with handles to produce a genus embedding of the complete graph of the same…
