We introduce the concept of matching connectivity as a notion of connectivity in graph admitting perfect matchings which heavily relies on the structural properties of those matchings. We generalise a result of Robertson, Seymour and Thomas…

A class of graphs is bridge-addable if given a graph $G$ in the class, any graph obtained by adding an edge between two connected components of $G$ is also in the class. The authors recently proved a conjecture of McDiarmid, Steger, and…

The connectivity of a graph is an important parameter to evaluate its reliability. $k$-restricted connectivity (resp. $R^h$-restricted connectivity) of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of vertices in $G$, if exists, whose…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. Let $\kappa_G(u,v)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$. Then the average connectivity $\overline{\kappa}(G)$ of $G$, is defined as $…

We prove improved bounds on how localized an eigenvector of a high girth regular graph can be, and present examples showing that these bounds are close to sharp. This study was initiated by Brooks and Lindenstrauss (2009) who relied on the…

A connected set in a graph is a subset of vertices whose induced subgraph is connected. Although counting the number of connected sets in a graph is generally a \#P-complete problem, it remains an active area of research. In 2020, Vince…

In this article we study graphs with ordering of vertices, we define a generalization called a pseudoordering, and for a graph $H$ we define the $H$-Hamiltonian number of a graph $G$. We will show that this concept is a generalization of…

In this paper we consider two natural notions of connectivity for hypergraphs: weak and strong. We prove that the strong vertex connectivity of a connected hypergraph is bounded by its weak edge connectivity, thereby extending a theorem of…

In this paper, we consider a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) on~\(n\) nodes with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) just below the Hamiltonicity threshold and construct Hamiltonian cycles using additional edges called bridges. The bridges by…

The unit-distance graph on the $n$-dimensional integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is called the $n$-dimensional grid. We attempt to maximize the girth of a $k$-regular (possibly induced) subgraph of the $n$-dimensional grid, and provide…

We derive a number of upper and lower bounds for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of a finite quantum graph in terms of the edge connectivity of the graph, i.e., the minimal number of edges which need to be removed to make the graph…

Given an undirected graph $G$, we define a new object $H_G$, called the mp-chart of $G$, in the max-plus algebra. We use it, together with the max-plus permanent, to describe the complexity of graphs. We show how to compute the mean and the…

In this note we confirm a conjecture raised by Benjamini et al. \cite{BST} on the acquaintance time of graphs, proving that for all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices it holds that $\AC(G) = O(n^{3/2})$, which is tight up to a multiplicative…

In many real world datasets arising from social networks, there are hidden higher order relations among data points which cannot be captured using graph modeling. It is natural to use a more general notion of hypergraphs to model such…
