I compute several terms of the asymptotic expansion of the number of connected labelled graphs with n nodes and m edges, for small k=m-n.
An ordered graph is a graph with a total order over its vertices. A linear layout of an ordered graph is a partition of the edges into sets of either non-crossing edges, called stacks, or non-nesting edges, called queues. The stack (queue)…
We introduce a new graph minimization method, in which it is required to preserve some graph property and there is an effective procedure for checking this property. We applied this method to minimize 5-chromatic unit-distance graphs and…
We present infinite sequences of excluded minors for both the class of lifted-graphic matroids and the class of frame matroids.
Let $I_G$ be the toric ideal of a graph $G$. We characterize in graph theoretical terms the primitive, the minimal, the indispensable and the fundamental binomials of the toric ideal $I_G$.
In this article we prove that integral lattices with minimum <= 7 (or <= 9) whose set of minimal vectors form spherical 9-designs (or 11-designs respectively) are extremal, even and unimodular. We furthermore show that there does not exist…
It has been an open question whether the deletion or contraction of an edge in an intrinsically knotted graph always yields an intrinsically linked graph. We present a new intrinsically knotted graph that shows the answer to both questions…
We prove that the two-colouring number of any planar graph is at most 8. This resolves a question of Kierstead et al. [SIAM J. Discrete Math.~23 (2009), 1548--1560]. The result is optimal.
In this article we show that if a knot diagram admits a non-trivial coloring modulo 13 then there is an equivalent diagram which can be colored with 5 colors. Leaning on known results, this implies that the minimum number of colors modulo…
For a graph G and an integer t we let mcc_t(G) be the smallest m such that there exists a coloring of the vertices of G by t colors with no monochromatic connected subgraph having more than m vertices. Let F be any nontrivial minor-closed…
Erd\H{o}s, Fajtlowicz and Staton asked for the least integer $f(k)$ such that every graph with more than $f(k)$ vertices has an induced regular subgraph with at least $k$ vertices. Here we consider the following relaxed notions. Let $g(k)$…
A longest path in a graph is called a detour. Denote by $a(k,n)$ the minimum number of detours in a connected graph with minimum degree $k$ and order $n,$ and denote by $b(k,n)$ the minimum odd number of detours in such a graph. X. Zhan has…
A Meyniel obstruction is an odd cycle with at least five vertices and at most one chord. A graph is Meyniel if and only if it has no Meyniel obstruction as an induced subgraph. Here we give a O(n^2) algorithm that, for any graph, finds…
We determine the vertex-minor Ramsey number $\Rvm(4)=11$, where $\Rvm(k)$ is the smallest~$n$ such that every $n$-vertex graph contains the edgeless graph~$E_k$ as a vertex-minor. We prove this by an exhaustive classification of the graphs…
A coprime labeling of a graph $G$ is a labeling of the vertices of $G$ with distinct integers from $1$ to $k$ such that adjacent vertices have coprime labels. The minimum coprime number of $G$ is the least $k$ for which such a labeling…
We classify the Cohen-Macaulay weighted oriented graphs whose underlying graphs have girth at least $5$.
Let k_r(n,m) denote the minimum number of r-cliques in graphs with n vertices and m edges. For r=3,4 we give a lower bound on k_r(n,m) that approximates k_r(n,m) with an error smaller than n^r/(n^2-2m). The solution is based on a constraint…
We study subclasses of grid intersection graphs from the perspective of order dimension. We show that partial orders of height two whose comparability graph is a grid intersection graph have order dimension at most four. Starting from this…
Let $G$ be a graph. For a given positive integer $d$, let $f_G(d)$ denote the largest integer $t$ such that in every coloring of the edges of $G$ with two colors there is a monochromatic subgraph with minimum degree at least $d$ and order…
These notes present two normal surface theory algorithms to detect the unknot and use the split-link algorithm to prove that the figure-eight knot is knotted.
