Let $G$ be a simple graph, and let $\Delta(G)$ and $\chi'(G)$ denote the maximum degree and chromatic index of $G$, respectively. Vizing proved that $\chi'(G)=\Delta(G)$ or $\Delta(G)+1$. We say $G$ is $\Delta$-critical if…

Let D be a directed graph with vertex set V and order n. An anti-directed hamiltonian cycle H in D is a hamiltonian cycle in the graph underlying D such that no pair of consecutive arcs in H form a directed path in D. An anti-directed…

A \emph{self-complementary} graph is a graph isomorphic to its complement. An isomorphism between $G$ and its complement, viewed as a permutation of $V(G)$, is then called an \emph{antimorphism}. A \emph{skew partition} of $G$ is a…

Let $t>0$ be a real number and $G$ be a graph. We say $G$ is $t$-tough if for every cutset $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$. The Toughness Conjecture of Chv\'atal, stating that there exists…

Let $\mathcal{G}(k)$ denote the set of connected $k$-regular graphs $G$, $k\geq2$, where the number of vertices at distance 2 from any vertex in $G$ does not exceed $k$. Asratian (2006) showed (using other terminology) that a graph…

A graph is "$H$-free" if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. A conjecture of Conlon, Fox and Sudakov states that for every graph $H$, there exists $s>0$ such that in every $H$-free graph with $n>1$ vertices, either some vertex has…

A pseudo [2,b]-factor of a graph G is a spanning subgraph in which each component C on at least three vertices is a [2,b]-graph. The main contibution of this paper, is to give an upper bound to the number of components that are edges or…

It is known that the canonical double cover of any connected nonbipartite graph have an automorphism group of the form $H \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, where $H$ is the set of automorphism which preserve bipartite parts. We construct connected…

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…

A graph $G$ has the Perfect-Matching-Hamiltonian property (PMH-property) if for each one of its perfect matchings, there is another perfect matching of $G$ such that the union of the two perfect matchings yields a Hamiltonian cycle of $G$.…

A decomposition of a graph is a set of subgraphs whose edges partition those of $G$. The 3-decomposition conjecture posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof in 2011 states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a…

Let $G$ be a bridgeless cubic graph. Consider a list of $k$ 1-factors of $G$. Let $E_i$ be the set of edges contained in precisely $i$ members of the $k$ 1-factors. Let $\mu_k(G)$ be the smallest $|E_0|$ over all lists of $k$ 1-factors of…

A 2-edge-coloured graph $G$ is {\bf supereulerian} if $G$ contains a spanning closed trail in which the edges alternate in colours. An {\bf eulerian factor} of a 2-edge-coloured graph is a collection of vertex disjoint induced subgraphs…

Given a graph $G$ and a subset $X$ of vertices of $G$ with size at least two, we denote by $N^2_G(X)$ the set of vertices of $G$ that have at least two neighbors in $X$. We say that a bipartite graph $G$ with sides $A$ and $B$ satisfies the…

We study $M$-alternating Hamilton paths and $M$-alternating Hamilton cycles in a simple connected graph $G$ on $\nu$ vertices with a perfect matching $M$. Let $G$ be a bipartite graph, we prove that if for any two vertices $x$ and $y$ in…

A recent result of one of the authors says that every connected subcubic bipartite graph that is not isomorphic to the Heawood graph has at least one, and in fact a positive proportion of its eigenvalues in the interval [-1,1]. We construct…

Let $G$ be a simple cubic 2-connected plane graph. For every $2$-factor $X$ of $G$ having $n$-components there exists a simple hamiltonian plane graph $J \subset G^{2}$ such that $|E(J)|= |E(G)| + 2n -2$ and $\Delta(J) \leqslant 5$.

We find Dirac-type sufficient conditions for a hypergraph $\mathcal H$ with few edges to be hamiltonian. We also show that these conditions provide that $\mathcal H$ is {\em super-pancyclic}, i.e., for each $A \subseteq V(\mathcal H)$ with…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in $H$ with degree sum at least $n$ in $G$. We say that $G$ is $H$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D \geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…
