Let $H\xrightarrow{s} G$ denote that any $s$-coloring of $E(H)$ contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted by $R_\Delta(G, s)$, is $\min \{\Delta(H): H \xrightarrow{s} G \}$. We consider degree Ramsey…

A characterization of a class of optimal three-weight cyclic codes of dimension 3 over any finite field was recently presented in [10]. Shortly after this, a generalization for the sufficient numerical conditions of such characterization…

In a proper edge-coloring of a cubic graph, an edge $e$ is normal if the set of colors used by the edges adjacent to $e$ has cardinality 3 or 5. The Petersen coloring conjecture asserts that every bridgeless cubic graph has a normal…

In this short note it is shown that every graph of diameter 2 and minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle of length 4 or 8. This result contributes to the study of the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as Conjecture by confirming it for the class of…

We prove that the minimum number of Hamilton cycles in a hamiltonian threshold graph of order $n$ is $2^{\lfloor (n-3)/2\rfloor}$ and this minimum number is attained uniquely by the graph with degree sequence $n-1,n-1,n-2,\ldots,\lceil…

We determine all possible degrees of cyclic isogenies of non-CM elliptic curves with rational $j$-invariant over number fields of degree $p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. The question had been answered for $p=2$, so this paper completes the…

Let $G$ be the unit distance graph in the plane. A well-known problem in combinatorial geometry is that of determining the chromatic number of $G$. It is known that $4\le \chi(G)\le 7$. The upper bound of 7 is obtained using tilings of the…

Let $G$ be a planar graph without 4-cycles and 5-cycles and with maximum degree $\Delta\ge 32$. We prove that $\chi_{\ell}(G^2)\le \Delta+3$. For arbitrarily large maximum degree $\Delta$, there exist planar graphs $G_{\Delta}$ of girth 6…

A strict lower bound for the diameter of a symmetric graph is proposed, which is calculable with the order $n$ and other local parameters of the graph such as the degree $k\,(\geq 3)$, even girth $g\,(\geq 4)$, and number of $g$-cycles…

For a simple graph $G$, let $\chi_f(G)$ be the fractional chromatic number of $G$. In this paper, we aim to establish upper bounds on $\chi_f(G)$ for those graphs $G$ with restrictions on the clique number. Namely, we prove that for $\Delta…

We consider the degree/diameter problem for graphs embedded in a surface, namely, given a surface $\Sigma$ and integers $\Delta$ and $k$, determine the maximum order $N(\Delta,k,\Sigma)$ of a graph embeddable in $\Sigma$ with maximum degree…

We show that every 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and minimum vertex degree at least $(5/9+o(1))\binom{n}2$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle. Known lower bound constructions show that this degree condition is asymptotically…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…

Let $k_r(n,\delta)$ be the minimum number of $r$-cliques in graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta$. We evaluate $k_r(n,\delta)$ for $\delta \leq 4n/5$ and some other cases. Moreover, we give a construction, which we conjecture…

There are several recent works where authors have shown that number fields $K$ with `sufficiently many' units and cyclic class group contain a Euclidean ideal class provided the Hilbert class field $H(K)$ is absolutely abelian. In this…

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin's inequality sum_{d|n}d<e^{gamma}n loglog n is satisfied for n>=5041, where gamma denotes the Euler(-Mascheroni) constant. We show by elementary methods…

We propose a simple criterion to know if an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is cyclic, i.e., it has a cyclic group of rational points; this criterion is based on the endomorphism ring End$_{\mathbb{F}_q}(A)$.…

We introduce a generalization of the Euclidean algorithm for rings equipped with an involution, and completely enumerate all isomorphism classes of orders over definite, rational quaternion algebras equipped with an orthogonal involution…

We show that a cubic graph $G$ of order $n$ has an induced $2$-regular subgraph of order at least a) $\frac{n-2}{4-\frac{4}{k}}$, if $G$ has no induced cycle of length more than $k$, b) $\frac{5n+6}{8}$, if $G$ has no induced cycle of…

We prove properties of extremal graphs of girth 5 and order 20 <=v <= 32. In each case we identify the possible minimum and maximum degrees, and in some cases prove the existence of (non-trivial) embedded stars. These proofs allow for…
