We address a problem posed by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal in 1991, proving that for all $n \geq 600$, every $(2n+1)$-vertex graph with at least $n^2 + n + 1$ edges contains two vertices of equal degree connected by a path of length three. The…

A vertex set $D$ in a finite undirected graph $G$ is an {\em efficient dominating set} (\emph{e.d.s.}\ for short) of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is dominated by exactly one vertex of $D$. The \emph{Efficient Domination} (ED) problem, which…

We consider the problem of finding edges of a hidden weighted graph using a certain type of queries. Let $G$ be a weighted graph with $n$ vertices. In the most general setting, the $n$ vertices are known and no other information about $G$…

We present a $(1+\frac{k}{k+2})$-approximation algorithm for the Maximum $k$-dependent Set problem on bipartite graphs for any $k\ge1$. For a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the algorithm runs in $O(k m \sqrt{n})$ time and improves…

We consider the problem of finding \textit{semi-matching} in bipartite graphs which is also extensively studied under various names in the scheduling literature. We give faster algorithms for both weighted and unweighted case. For the…

Given an integer weighted bipartite graph $\{G=(U\sqcup V, E), w:E\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}\}$ we consider the problems of finding all the edges that occur in some minimum weight matching of maximum cardinality and enumerating all the minimum…

In a simple drawing of a graph every pair of edges intersect each other in at most one point, which is either a common endvertex or a proper crossing. For each positive integer $n$, Negami identified a drawing $B_n$ of the complete…

In this paper, we prove that given a 2-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{4n}$ that has the same number of edges of each colour, we can always find a perfect matching with an equal number of edges of each colour. This solves a problem posed…

The balanced connected $k$-partition problem (\textsc{bcp}) is a classic problem, which consists in partitioning the set of vertices of a vertex-weighted connected graph into a collection of~$k$ classes such that each class induces a…

We introduce a new class of algebras arising from graphs, called binomial edge rings. Given a graph $G$ on $d$ vertices with $n$ edges, the binomial edge ring of $G$ is defined to be the subalgebra of the polynomial ring with $2d$ variables…

Given a graph $F$, the random Tur\'an problem asks to determine the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $G_{n,p}$. Prior to this work, the only bipartite graphs $F$ with known tight bounds included certain classes of complete…

Reiman produced a quadratic inequality for the size of bipartite graphs of girth six. We get its counterpart for girth eight, a cubic inequality. It is optimal in as far as it admits the algebraic structure of generalized quadrangles as…

Following the recent paper which initiated the study of colour isomorphism problems for complete graphs, we obtain upper bounds for $f_2(n,H)$ for a family of graphs $H$ obtained as the $K_0$-th rooted power of a balanced rooted tree for…

For a bipartite graph $H$, its linear threshold is the smallest real number $\sigma$ such that every bipartite graph $G = (U \sqcup V, E)$ with unbalanced parts $|V| \gtrsim |U|^\sigma$ and without a copy of $H$ must have a linear number of…

A bipartite graph $G$ is semi-algebraic in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if its vertices are represented by point sets $P,Q \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and its edges are defined as pairs of points $(p,q) \in P\times Q$ that satisfy a Boolean combination of a…

A bipartite graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=V_1\cup V_2$ is biregular if all the vertices of a stable set $V_i$ have the same degree $r_i$ for $i=1,2$. In this paper, we give an improved new Moore bound for an infinite family of such graphs with…

We show that every $K_4$-free graph on $n$ vertices can be made balanced bipartite by removing at most $\frac{n^2}{9}$ edges. This proves a conjecture of Balogh, Clemen, and Lidick\'{y}, and generalizes both Sudakov's result on the…
