For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and signless Laplacian eigenvalues $q_{1} \geq q_{2} \geq \cdots \geq q_{n} \geq 0$, its the signless Laplacian energy $QE(G)$ is defined as $QE(G) = \sum_{i=1}^{n}|q_{i} - \bar{d} |$,…

Let $F$ be an $(r+1)$-color critical graph with $r\geq 2$, that is, $\chi(F)=r+1$ and there is an edge $e$ in $F$ such that $\chi(F-e)=r$. Gerbner recently conjectured that every $n$-vertex maximal $F$-free graph with at least…

For a positive integer $n$, a graph $F$ and a bipartite graph $G\subseteq K_{n,n}$ let ${F(n+n, G)}$ denote the number of copies of $F$ in $G$, and let $F(n+n, m)$ denote the minimum number of copies of $F$ in all graphs $G\subseteq…

A classic result of Erd\H{o}s and, independently, of Bondy and Simonovits says that the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph not containing $C_{2k}$, the cycle of length $2k$, is $O( n^{1+1/k})$. Simonovits established a…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph and $G$ be a multigraph. The hypergraph $\mathcal{F}$ is a Berge-$G$ if there is a bijection $f: E(G) \rightarrow E( \mathcal{F} )$ such that $e \subseteq f(e)$ for each $e \in E(G)$. Given a…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Recently, the $F$-saturation number of the Erd\H{o}s$\text{\bf--}$R\'enyi random graph…

Let $\gamma'_s(G)$ be the signed edge domination number of G. In 2006, Xu conjectured that: for any $2$-connected graph G of order $ n (n \geq 2),$ $\gamma'_s(G)\geq 1$. In this article we show that this conjecture is not true. More…

In this paper, we address problems related to parameters concerning edge mappings of graphs. The quantity $h(n,G)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph $H$ such that there exists a mapping $f: E(H)\rightarrow…

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 convex geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are the corners of a convex polygon P in the plane and whose edges are boundary edges and diagonals of the polygon. It is called triangulation-free if its non-boundary edges do not contain…

We investigate saturated geometric drawings of graphs with geometric thickness $k$, where no edge can be added without increasing $k$. We establish lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in such drawings if the vertices lie in convex…

Given a graph $F$, a graph $G$ is weakly $F$-saturated if all non-edges of $G$ can be added in some order so that each new edge introduces a copy of $F$. The weak saturation number $\operatorname{wsat}(n, F)$ is the minimum number of edges…

The QE constant of a finite connected graph $G$, denoted by $\mathrm{QEC}(G)$, is by definition the maximum of the quadratic function associated to the distance matrix on a certain sphere of codimension two. We prove that the QE constants…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a given edge-weighted graph and let its {\em realization} $\mathcal{G}$ be a random subgraph of $G$ that includes each edge $e \in E$ independently with probability $p$. In the {\em stochastic matching} problem, the goal…

Let $Q_k$ denote the $k$-dimensional hypercube on $2^k$ vertices. A vertex in a subgraph of $Q_k$ is {\em full} if its degree is $k$. We apply the Kruskal-Katona Theorem to compute the maximum number of full vertices an induced subgraph on…

Given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the weak saturation number $\mathrm{wsat}(n,H)$ is the minimum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph $F$ on $n$ vertices such that the missing edges in $F$ can be added,…

We consider graphs without loops or parallel edges in which every edge is assigned + or -. Such a signed graph is balanced if its vertex set can be partitioned into parts $V_1$ and $V_2$ such that all edges between vertices in the same part…

The Sombor index $SO(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the sum of the edge weights $\sqrt{d^2_G(u)+d^2_G(v)}$ of all edges $uv$ of $G$, where $d_G(u)$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$ in $G$. A connected graph $G = (V ,E)$ is called a quasi-tree,…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph on $n$ vertices. Let $f_H(G) = 1$ iff the input graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains $H$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. Let $\alpha_H$ denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set of $H$. In this…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a family of graphs. We say $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ with $H\in\mathcal{H}$, but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of some…
