A class of graphs G is chi-bounded if the chromatic number of graphs in G is bounded by a function of the clique number. We show that if a class G is chi-bounded,then every class of graphs admitting a decomposition along cuts of small rank…
We study two related problems concerning the number of homogeneous subsets of given size in graphs that go back to questions of Erd\H{o}s. Most notably, we improve the upper bounds on the Ramsey multiplicity of $K_4$ and $K_5$ and settle…
We use a dynamic programming algorithm to establish a lower bound on the domination number of complete grid graphs of the form $C_n\square P_m$, that is, the Cartesian product of a cycle $C_n$ and a path $P_m$, for $m$ and $n$ sufficiently…
Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph on $n$ vertices with no loops but possibly multiedges. Given an arithmetical structure $(\textbf{r}, \textbf{d})$ on $G$, we describe a construction which associates to it a graph $G'$ on $n-1$…
The bounds on the sum and product of chromatic numbers of a graph and its complement are known as Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities. In this paper, we study the bounds on the sum and product of the independence numbers of graphs and their line…
In this note we show a polynomial bound on the number of minimal separators and potential maximal cliques in $P_6$-free graphs of bounded clique number.
The k-fold Cartesian product of a graph G is defined as a graph on k-tuples of vertices, where two tuples are connected if they form an edge in one of the positions and are equal in the rest. Starting with G as a single edge gives G^k as a…
There are many methods to find a maximum (or maximal) clique in large networks. Due to the nature of combinatorics, computation becomes exponentially expensive as the number of vertices in a graph increases. Thus, there is a need for…
Let G be a graph. Consider two nonadjacent vertices x and y that have a common neighbor. Folding G with respect to x and y is the operation which identifies x and y. After a maximal series of foldings the graph is a disjoint union of…
The maximum labelled clique problem is a variant of the maximum clique problem where edges in the graph are given labels, and we are not allowed to use more than a certain number of distinct labels in a solution. We introduce a new…
The M-polynomial provides a unifying framework for a wide class of degree-based topological indices. Despite its structural importance, general methods for computing the M-polynomial under graph constructions remain limited. In this paper,…
In this paper, we study the redundancy of linear codes with graph constraints. First we consider linear parity check codes based on bipartite graphs with diversity and with generalized graph constraints. We describe sufficient conditions on…
A drawing of a graph is {\em pseudolinear} if there is a pseudoline arrangement such that each pseudoline contains exactly one edge of the drawing. The {\em pseudolinear crossing number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of pairwise…
The matching number of a graph G is the size of a maximum matching in the graph. In this note, we present a sufficient condition involving the matching number for the Hamiltonicity of graphs.
Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, a graph $G$ is $(H_1,H_2)$-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to $H_1$ or $H_2$. We continue a recent study into the clique-width of $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs and present three new classes of…
In 2023, Gollin, Hendrey, Methuku, Tompkins and Zhang determined the maximum number of cliques in general 1-planar graphs with order $n$. Their extremal examples have connectivity at most three, except for a few small orders. At the…
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…
A \emph{clique} is a set of pairwise adjacent vertices in a graph. We determine the maximum number of cliques in a graph for the following graph classes: (1) graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges; (2) graphs with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges,…
The crossing number of a graph G is the minimum number of pairwise intersections of edges in a drawing of G. Motivated by the recent work [Faria, L., Figueiredo, C.M.H. de, Sykora, O., Vrt'o, I.: An improved upper bound on the crossing…
Map vertices of a graph to (not necessarily distinct) points of the plane so that two adjacent vertices are mapped at least a unit distance apart. The plane-width of a graph is the minimum diameter of the image of the vertex set over all…
