Mader conjectured in 1979 that an average degree of at least $3k-1$ in a graph is sufficient for the existence of a $(k+1)$-connected subgraph. The following minimum degree analogue holds: Every graph with minimum degree at least $3k-1$…

In this paper, we give simple optimal lower bounds on the one-way two-party communication complexity of approximate Maximum Matching and Minimum Vertex Cover with deletions. In our model, Alice holds a set of edges and sends a single…

We present deterministic constant-round protocols for the graph connectivity problem in the model where each of the $n$ nodes of a graph receives a row of the adjacency matrix, and broadcasts a single sublinear size message to all other…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|\geq 2$, $\lambda(S)$ is the maximum number of edge-disjoint trees connecting $S$ in $G$. For an integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the \emph{generalized $k$-edge-connectivity} $\lambda_k(G)$ of $G$ is then…

A graph is $2$-planar if it has local crossing number two, that is, it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge has at most two crossings. A graph is maximal $2$-planar if no edge can be added such that the resulting graph remains…

In the past decades, many scholars concerned which edge-extremal problems have spectral analogues? Recently, Wang, Kang and Xue showed an interesting result on $F$-free graphs [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 159 (2023) 20--41]. In this paper, we…

For a directed graph $G$, a $t$-identifying code is a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ with the property that for each vertex $v\in V(G)$ the set of vertices of $S$ reachable from $v$ by a directed path of length at most $t$ is both non-empty and…

The outer multiset dimension ${\rm dim}_{\rm ms}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that uniquely recognize all the vertices outside this set by using multisets of distances to the set. It is proved that…

A good edge-labelling of a simple, finite graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for every ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. In this paper we prove that any graph on…

We consider the problem of constructing a graph of minimum degree $k\ge 1$ in the following controlled random graph process, introduced recently by Frieze, Krivelevich and Michaeli. Suppose the edges of the complete graph on $n$ vertices…

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

Data dissemination is a fundamental task in distributed computing. This paper studies broadcast problems in various innovative models where the communication network connecting $n$ processes is dynamic (e.g., due to mobility or failures)…

Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices and $C$ be an $(n,k,d)$ code with $d\ge 2$, defined on the alphabet set $\{0,1\}^m$. Suppose that for $1\le i\le n$, the $i$-th vertex of $G$ holds an input symbol $x_i\in\{0,1\}^m$ and let…

Complex systems of interacting components often can be modeled by a simple graph $\mathcal{G}$ that consists of a set of $n$ nodes and a set of $m$ edges. Such a graph can be represented by an adjacency matrix $A\in\R^{n\times n}$, whose…

For natural numbers $n$ and $k$ ($n > 2k$), a generalized Petersen graph $P(n,k)$, is defined by vertex set $\lbrace u_i,v_i\rbrace$ and edge set $\lbrace u_iu_{i+1},u_iv_i,v_iv_{i+k}\rbrace$; where $i = 1,2,\dots,n$ and subscripts are…

An axis-parallel $d$-dimensional box is a cartesian product $I_1\times I_2\times \dots \times I_b$ where $I_i$ is a closed sub-interval of the real line. For a graph $G = (V,E)$, the $boxicity \ of \ G$, denoted by $\text{box}(G)$, is the…

Broadcast is one of the fundamental network communication primitives. One node of a network, called the $\mathit{source}$, has a message that has to be learned by all other nodes. We consider the feasibility of deterministic broadcast in…

In a given graph $G$, a set $S$ of vertices with an assignment of colors is a {\sf defining set of the vertex coloring of $G$}, if there exists a unique extension of the colors of $S$ to a $\Cchi(G)$-coloring of the vertices of $G$. A…

For integers $k \geq 2$ and $n \geq k+1$, we prove the following: If $n\cdot k$ is even, there is a connected $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. If $n\cdot k$ is odd, there is a connected nearly $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices.

A Hamiltonian graph $G$ of order $n$ is $k$-ordered, $2\leq k \leq n$, if for every sequence $v_1, v_2, \ldots ,v_k$ of $k$ distinct vertices of $G$, there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that encounters $v_1, v_2, \ldots , v_k$ in this order.…
