Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $F$ as a subgraph for any $F\in\mathcal{F}$, but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy…

Let $G$ be a triangle-free graph with $n$ vertices and average degree $t$. We show that $G$ contains at least \[ e^{(1-n^{-1/12})\frac{1}{2}\frac{n}{t}\ln t (\frac{1}{2}\ln t-1)} \] independent sets. This improves a recent result of the…

For each integer $n\geq 3$, let $W_n$ denote the wheel graph obtained by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a cycle of length $n$. In particular, $W_6$ is obtained from the Petersen graph by contracting three edges incident with…

Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…

We study the number of edges, $e(G)$, in triangle-free graphs with a prescribed number of vertices, $n(G)$, independence number, $\alpha(G)$, and number of cycles of length four, $\operatorname{N}(C_4;G)$. We in particular show that $$3e(G)…

We show that there are four infinite prime graphs such that every infinite prime graph with no infinite clique embeds one of these graphs. We derive a similar result for infinite prime posets with no infinite chain or no infinite antichain.

A Halin graph is a graph constructed by embedding a tree with no vertex of degree two in the plane and then adding a cycle to join the tree's leaves. The Halin Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, denoted as $\ex_{\hh}(n,F)$, is the maximum…

We study two extremal problems about subgraphs excluding a family $\F$ of graphs. i) Among all graphs with $m$ edges, what is the smallest size $f(m,\F)$ of a largest $\F$--free subgraph? ii) Among all graphs with minimum degree $\delta$…

The circumference denoted by $c(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the length of its longest cycle. Let $\delta(G)$ and $\omega(G)$ denote the minimum degree and the clique number of a graph $G$, respectively. In [\emph{Electron. J. Combin.} 31(4)(2024)…

It is proved that if $G$ is a $t$-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $t>1$ then either $G$ has a cycle of length at least $\min\{n,2\delta+5\}$ or $G$ is the Petersen graph.

The dissociation number ${\rm diss}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum order of a set of vertices of $G$ inducing a subgraph that is of maximum degree at most $1$. Computing the dissociation number of a given graph is algorithmically hard…

In this paper we investigate families of connected graphs which do not contain an odd cycle in their complement. Specifically, we consider graphs formed by two complete graphs connected in a particular way. We determine which of these…

Let $G$ be a finite connected simple graph and $I_{G}$ the toric ideal of the edge ring $K[G]$ of $G$. In the present paper, we study finite graphs $G$ with the property that $I_{G}$ is generated by quadratic binomials and $I_{G}$ possesses…

Given a graph $G$, a dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The domination number of $G$, denoted $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$. The independent…

Using some combinatorial techniques, in this note, it is proved that if $\alpha\geq 0.28866$, then any digraph on $n$ vertices with minimum outdegree at least $\alpha n$ contains a directed cycle of length at most 4.

Let $k_r(n,\delta)$ be the minimum number of $r$-cliques in graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta$. We evaluate $k_r(n,\delta)$ for $\delta \leq 4n/5$ and some other cases. Moreover, we give a construction, which we conjecture…

Answering some questions of Gutman, we show that, except for four specific trees, every connected graph G of order n, with no cycle of order 4 and with maximum degree at most 3, has energy greater that its order. Here, the energy of a graph…

For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_{2}(G)$ be the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A chord of a cycle in a graph $G$ is an edge of $G$ joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove the following…
