We show that every 1-planar graph with minimum degree at least 4 has girth at most $8$, and every 1-planar graph with minimum degree at least 3 has girth at most $198$.

A cycle cover of a graph is a collection of cycles such that each edge of the graph is contained in at least one of the cycles. The length of a cycle cover is the sum of all cycle lengths in the cover. We prove that every bridgeless cubic…

An oriented graph $\overrightarrow{G}$ is pushably $k$-critical if it is not pushably $k$-colorable, but every proper subgraph of $\overrightarrow{G}$ is. The main result of this article is that every pushably $3$-critical oriented graph on…

Li, Nikiforov and Schelp conjectured that a 2-edge coloured graph G with order n and minimal degree strictly greater than 3n/4 contains a monochromatic cycle of length l, for all l at least four and at most n/2. We prove this conjecture for…

For an oriented graph $G$, the oriented discrepancy problem concerns the existence of a spanning subgraph of $G$ with a large imbalance between its forward and backward edge orientations. Freschi and Lo proved the Dirac-type Hamilton cycle…

A graph $G$ has a $k$-page book embedding if $G$ can be embedded into a $k$-page book. The minimum $k$ such that $G$ has a $k$-page book embedding is the book thickness of $G$, denoted $bt(G)$. Most of the work on this subject has been done…

Given a bridgeless graph $G$, let $\mathbb{D}(G)$ be the set of all strong orientations of $G$, and define the oriented diameter $f(G)$ of $G$ to be the minimum of diameters $diam(D)$ among all the strong orientations $D\in \mathbb{D}(G)$,…

In a finite undirected simple graph, a chordless cycle is an induced subgraph which is a cycle. A graph is called cyclically orientable if it admits an orientation in which every chordless cycle is cyclically oriented. We propose an…

An oriented graph is a directed graph without any cycle of length at most 2. To push a vertex of a directed graph is to reverse the orientation of the arcs incident to that vertex. Klostermeyer and MacGillivray defined push graphs which are…

Let $D$ be a digraph. Its acyclic number $\vec{\alpha}(D)$ is the maximum order of an acyclic induced subdigraph and its dichromatic number $\vec{\chi}(D)$ is the least integer $k$ such that $V(D)$ can be partitioned into $k$ subsets…

Let c(G) be the smallest number of edges we have to test in order to determine an unknown acyclic orientation of the given graph G in the worst case. For example, if G is the complete graph on n vertices, then c(G) is the smallest number of…

For a positive constant $\alpha$ a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called an $\alpha$-expander if every vertex set $U$ of size at most $n/2$ has an external neighborhood whose size is at least $\alpha\left|U\right|$. We study cycle lengths in…

A biased graph is a graph $G$, together with a distinguished subset $\mathcal{B}$ of its cycles so that no Theta-subgraph of $G$ contains precisely two cycles in $\mathcal{B}$. A large number of biased graphs can be constructed by choosing…

In this paper, we investigate how the Wiener index of unicyclic graphs varies with graph operations. These results are used to present a sharp lower bound for the Wiener index of unicyclic graphs of order $n$ with girth and the matching…
