Let G be an edge weighted undirected graph. For every pair of nodes consider the shortest cycle containing these nodes in G. The cycle diameter of G is the maximum length of a cycle in this set. Let H be a directed graph obtained by…

A graph $H$ is said to be $F$-saturated relative to $G$, if $H$ does not contain any copy of $F$, but the addition of any edge $e$ in $E(G)\backslash E(H)$ would create a copy of $F$. The minimum size of an $F$-saturated graph relative to…

A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a $k$-path vertex cover if every path on $k$ vertices in $G$ contains at least one vertex from $S$. Denote by $\psi_k(G)$ the minimum cardinality of a $k$-path vertex cover in $G$ and…

A subset $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called a $k$-distance dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G)\setminus D$ is within distance $k$ from some vertex of $D$. The minimum cardinality among all $k$-distance dominating sets of $G$ is called…

The cut-rank of a set $X$ in a graph $G$ is the rank of the $X\times (V(G)-X)$ submatrix of the adjacency matrix over the binary field. A split is a partition of the vertex set into two sets $(X,Y)$ such that the cut-rank of $X$ is less…

We prove that every $3$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree $\delta_2(H) \geq 7n/9 + o(n)$ contains the square of a tight Hamilton cycle. This strengthens a theorem of Bedenknecht and Reiher that $\delta_2(H) \geq 4n/5 + o(n)$…

Methods to determine the existence of Hamiltonian Cycles in graphs have been extensively studied. However, little research has been done following cases when no Hamiltonian Cycle exists. Let a vertex be "unbounded" if it is visited more…

A graph is $k$-chordal if it does not have an induced cycle with length greater than $k$. We call a graph chordal if it is $3$-chordal. Let $G$ be a graph. The distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$, denoted by $d_{G}(x,y)$, is the…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a star-$k$-PCG if there exists a weight function $w: V \rightarrow R^+$ and $k$ mutually exclusive intervals $I_1, I_2, \ldots I_k$, such that there is an edge $uv \in E$ if and only if $w(u)+w(v) \in \bigcup_i I_i$.…

A new metric parameter for a graph, Helly-gap, is introduced. A graph $G$ is called $\alpha$-weakly-Helly if any system of pairwise intersecting disks in $G$ has a nonempty common intersection when the radius of each disk is increased by an…

We describe an algorithm for the exhaustive generation of non-isomorphic graphs with a given number $k \ge 0$ of hamiltonian cycles, which is especially efficient for small $k$. Our main findings, combining applications of this algorithm…

Let $G$ be a graph with edge set $E(G)$. Denote by $d_w$ the degree of a vertex $w$ of $G$. The sigma index of $G$ is defined as $\sum_{uv\in E(G)}(d_u-d_v)^2$. A connected graph of order $n$ and size $n+k-1$ is known as a connected…

Let $H=(V,E)$ be an $s$-uniform hypergraph of order $n$ and $k\geq 0$ be an integer. A $k$-independent set $S\subseteq H$ is a set of vertices such that the maximum degree in the hypergraph induced by $S$ is at most $k$. Denoted by…

A graph $G$ is $k$-ordered if for any distinct vertices $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_k \in V(G)$, it has a cycle through $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_k$ in order. Let $f(k)$ denote the minimum integer so that every $f(k)$-connected graph is $k$-ordered.…

An $H$-decomposition of $G$ is a partition of the edge-set of $G$ into subsets, where each subset induces a copy of the graph $H$. A $k$-orthogonal $H$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of $k$ $H$-decompositions of $G$, such that any…

For a given multigraph H, a graph G is H-linked, if |G| \geq |H| and for every injective map {\tau}: V (H) \rightarrow V (G), we can find internally disjoint paths in G, such that every edge from uv in H corresponds to a {\tau} (u) - {\tau}…

In this paper, we first study what we call Superset-Subset-Disjoint (SSD) set system. Based on properties of SSD set system, we derive the following (I) to (IV): (I) For a nonnegative integer $k$ and a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V|\ge2$, let…

For a graph $G$ and $S\subset V(G)$, if $G - S$ is acyclic, then $S$ is said to be a decycling set of $G$. The size of a smallest decycling set of $G$ is called the decycling number of $G$. The purpose of this paper is a comprehensive…

The P\'osa--Seymour conjecture determines the minimum degree threshold for forcing the $k$th power of a Hamilton cycle in a graph. After numerous partial results, Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi proved the conjecture for sufficiently…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called edge-pancyclic if, for every integer $k$ with $3 \leq k \leq n$, every edge of $G$ lies in a cycle of length $k$. Determining the minimum size $f(n)$ of a simple edge-pancyclic graph with $n$ vertices…
