A graph $G$ is well-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. If furthermore two times this cardinality is equal to $|V(G)|$, the graph $G$ is called very well-covered. The class…
In this paper we study almost Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graphs. Furthermore, we prove that if $G$ is almost Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graph with at least one vertex of positive degree, then there is a vertex of $\deg(v) \leq 2$. In…
For a graph $G$, Bolognini et al. have shown $J_{G}$ is strongly unmixed $\Rightarrow$ $J_{G}$ is Cohen-Macaulay $\Rightarrow$ $G$ is accessible, where $J_{G}$ denotes the binomial edge ideals of $G$. Accessible and strongly unmixed…
In this article, we characterize Cohen-Macaulay permutation graphs. In particular, we show that a permutation graph is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is well-covered and there exists a unique way of partitioning its vertex set into $r$…
Let $G$ be an unmixed bipartite graph of dimension $d-1$. Assume that $K_{n,n}$, with $n\ge 2$, is a maximal complete bipartite subgraph of $G$ of minimum dimension. Then $G$ is Cohen-Macaulay in codimension $d-n+1$. This generalizes a…
A combinatorial property that characterizes Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals has long been elusive. A recent conjecture ties the Cohen-Macaulayness of a binomial edge ideal $J_G$ to special disconnecting sets of vertices of its…
We classify Cohen-Macaulay graphs of girth at least $5$ and planar Gorenstein graphs of girth at least $4$. Moreover, such graphs are also vertex decomposable.
We study weighted graphs and their "edge ideals" which are ideals in polynomial rings that are defined in terms of the graphs. We provide combinatorial descriptions of m-irreducible decompositions for the edge ideal of a weighted graph in…
Associated to a simple undirected graph G is a simplicial complex whose faces correspond to the independent sets of G. We call a graph G shellable if this simplicial complex is a shellable simplicial complex in the non-pure sense of…
Cohen-Macaulayness of bipartite graphs is investigated by several mathematicians and has been characterized combinatorially. In this note, we give some different combinatorial conditions for a bipartite graph which are equal to…
Herzog, Hibi, and Zheng classified the Cohen-Macaulay edge ideals of chordal graphs. In this paper, we classify Cohen-Macaulay edge ideals of (vertex) weighted oriented chordal and simplicial graphs, a more general class of monomial ideals.…
We define a simple graph as compact if it lacks even cycles and satisfies the odd-cycle condition. Our focus is on classifying all compact graphs and examining the characteristics of their edge rings. Let $G$ be a compact graph and…
We introduce a new family of graphs, namely, hybrid graphs. There are infinitely many hybrid graphs associated to a single graph. We show that every hybrid graph associated to a given graph is Cohen Macaulay. Furthermore, we show that every…
The median of a graph $G$ with weighted vertices is the set of all vertices $x$ minimizing the sum of weighted distances from $x$ to the vertices of $G$. For any integer $p\ge 2$, we characterize the graphs in which, with respect to any…
Given a (directed) graph G=(V,A), a subset X of V is an interval of G provided that for any a, b\in X and x\in V-X, (a,x)\in A if and only if (b,x)\in A and (x,a)\in A if and only if (x,b)\in A. For example, \emptyset, \{x\} (x \in V) and V…
Let $H$ be a simple undirected graph. The family of all matchings of $H$ forms a simplicial complex called the matching complex of $H$. Here , we give a classification of all graphs with a Gorenstein matching complex. Also we study when the…
In attempting to understand how combinatorial modifications alter algebraic properties of monomial ideals, several authors have investigated the process of adding "whiskers" to graphs. In this paper, we study a similar construction to build…
We introduce sequentially $S_r$ modules over a commutative graded ring and sequentially $S_r$ simplicial complexes. This generalizes two properties for modules and simplicial complexes: being sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, and satisfying…
Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $X$ of $V$ is an interval of $G$ provided that for any $a, b\in X$ and $ x\in V \setminus X$, $\{a,x\}\in E$ if and only if $\{b,x\}\in E$. For example, $\emptyset$, $\{x\}(x\in V)$ and $V$ are intervals of…
