Given a graph $F$, let $SPEX_P(n,F)$ be the set of graphs with the maximum spectral radius among all $F$-free $n$-vertex planner graph. In 2017, Tait and Tobin proved that for sufficiently $n$, $K_2+P_{n-2}$ is the unique graph with the…

Ryser's Conjecture states that for any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph, the vertex cover number is at most $r{-}1$ times the matching number. This conjecture is only known to be true for $r\leq 3$ in general and for $r\leq 5$ if the…

We give an upper bound for the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex 2-connected $r$-uniform hypergraph with no Berge cycle of length $k$ or greater, where $n\geq k \geq 4r\geq 12$. For $n$ large with respect to $r$ and $k$, this bound…

Ryser's conjecture says that for every $r$-partite hypergraph $H$ with matching number $\nu(H)$, the vertex cover number is at most $(r-1)\nu(H)$. This far reaching generalization of K\"onig's theorem is only known to be true for $r\leq 3$,…

Let $\mu(G)$ denote the spectral radius of a graph $G$. We partly confirm a conjecture due to Nikiforov, which is a spectral radius analogue of the well-known Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture that any tree of order $t$ is contained in a graph of…

Let $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$ be the adjacency tensor and signless Laplacian tensor of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$. Denote by $\rho(H)$ and $\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))$ the spectral radii of $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$,…

We give sharp upper bounds for the ordinary spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius of a uniform hypergraph in terms of the average $2$-degrees or degrees of vertices, respectively, and we also give a lower bound for the…

Nikiforov [Some inequalities for the largest eigenvalue of a graph, Combin. Probab. Comput. 179--189] showed that if $G$ is $K_{r+1}$-free then the spectral radius $\rho(G)\leq\sqrt{2m(1-1/r)}$, which implies that $G$ contains $C_3$ if…

Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ with vertex set $[n]$ and edge set $E(G)$, the ABC tensor $\mathcal{ABC}(G)$ of $G$ is the $k$-order $n$-dimensional tensor with \[ \mathcal{ABC}(G)_{i_1, \dots, i_k}= \begin{cases}…

Over the past half century, the rigidity of graphs in $R^2$ has aroused a great deal of interest. Lov\'{a}sz and Yemini (1982) proved that every $6$-connected graph is rigid in $R^2$. Jackson and Jord\'{a}n (2005) provided a similar…

Let $H_7$ denote the $7$-vertex \textit{fan graph} consisting of a $6$-vertex path plus a vertex adjacent to each vertex of the path. Let $K_3 \vee \frac{m-3}{3}K_1$ be the graph obtained by joining each vertex of a triangle $K_3$ to…

A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph or hypergraph is hitting if $M$ covers each vertex of $H$ at least once, and $M$ is $t$-shallow if it covers each vertex of $H$ at most $t$ times. We consider the existence of shallow hitting edge sets…

A graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The fish graph, denoted by $H(4, 3)$, is a $6-$vertex graph obtained from a cycle of length $4$ and a triangle by sharing a common vertex. Earlier it is…

Given a graph $H$, a graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. A graph is color-critical when it has an edge whose removal leads to a reduction in its chromatic number. For a graph $H$ with a chromatic number of…
