Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of positive integers. A radio labeling of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\varphi : V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$ such that the inequality $|\varphi(u)-\varphi(v)| \geq diam(G) + 1 - d(u,v)$ holds for every…

We show that there exists an adjacency labelling scheme for planar graphs where each vertex of an $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ is assigned a $(1+o(1))\log_2 n$-bit label and the labels of two vertices $u$ and $v$ are sufficient to determine…

One of the more recent generalizations of the Erd\"os-Ko-Rado theorem, formulated by Holroyd, Spencer and Talbot, defines the Erd\"os-Ko-Rado property for graphs in the following manner: for a graph G and a positive integer r, G is said to…

An edge-coloured graph $G$ is called $properly$ $connected$ if every two vertices are connected by a proper path. The $proper$ $connection$ $number$ of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $pc(G)$, is the smallest number of colours that are…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G\to (H,H)$ signify that any red/blue edge coloring of $G$ contains a monochromatic $H$ as a subgraph, and $\mathcal{H}(\Delta,n)=\{H:|V(H)|=n,\Delta(H)\le \Delta\}$. For fixed $\Delta$ and $n$, we say that $G$…

In a reduction sequence of a graph, vertices are successively identified until the graph has one vertex. At each step, when identifying $u$ and $v$, each edge incident to exactly one of $u$ and $v$ is coloured red. Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e…

The bandwidth theorem [Mathematische Annalen, 343(1):175--205, 2009] states that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree $(\frac{k-1}{k}+o(1))n$ contains all $n$-vertex $k$-colourable graphs $H$ with bounded maximum degree and…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider this problem in the setting of local algorithms: one wants to quickly determine whether a given edge $e$ is in a specific spanning tree,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $d$. For an integer $k\in\mathbb{N}$, the $k$-disc of a vertex $v\in V$ is defined as the rooted subgraph of $G$ that is induced by all vertices whose distance to $v$ is at most $k$. The…

A string graph is an intersection graph of curves in the plane. A $k$-string graph is a graph with a string representation in which every pair of curves intersects in at most $k$ points. We introduce the class of $(=k)$-string graphs as a…

There is a graph reduction system so that every optimal 1-planar graph can be reduced to an irreducible extended wheel graph, provided the reductions are applied such that the given graph class is preserved. A graph is optimal 1-planar if…

Linear rank-width is a graph width parameter, which is a variation of rank-width by restricting its tree to a caterpillar. As a corollary of known theorems, for each $k$, there is a finite obstruction set $\mathcal{O}_k$ of graphs such that…

We say that a graph $G$ is $(2,m)$-linked if, for any distinct vertices $a_1,\ldots, a_m, b_1,b_2$ in $G$, there exist vertex disjoint connected subgraphs $A,B$ of $G$ such that $\{a_1, \ldots, a_m\}$ is contained in $A$ and $\{b_1,b_2\}$…

Let $k$ be an integer. We prove a rough structure theorem for separations of order at most $k$ in finite and infinite vertex transitive graphs. Let $G = (V,E)$ be a vertex transitive graph, let $A \subseteq V$ be a finite vertex-set with…

For a graph $G$ and a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, we say that $G$ is {\em $\mathcal{H}$-free} if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{H}$. Given an integer $P>0$, a graph $G$, and a set of graphs $\mathcal{F}$,…

For two integers $r\geq 2$ and $h\geq 0$, the $h$-extra $r$-component connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $c\kappa_{r}^{h}$, is defined as the minimum number of vertices whose removal produces a disconnected graph with at least $r$…

For $k \geqslant 0$, we define a simple topological graph $G$ (that is, a graph drawn in the plane such that every pair of edges intersect at most once, including endpoints) to be $k$-matching-planar if for every edge $e \in E(G)$, every…

We define, for any graph $G=(V,E)$, a boundary $\partial G \subseteq V$. The definition coincides with what one would expected for the discretization of (sufficiently nice) Euclidean domains and contains all vertices from the…

Let $G$ be a graph with the usual shortest-path metric. A graph is $\delta$-hyperbolic if for every geodesic triangle $T$, any side of $T$ is contained in a $\delta$-neighborhood of the union of the other two sides. A graph is chordal if…

A {\em balanced coloring} of a graph $G$ means a triple $\{P_1,P_2,X\}$ of mutually disjoint subsets of the vertex-set $V(G)$ such that $V(G)=P_1 \uplus P_2 \uplus X$ and $|P_1|=|P_2|$. A {\em balanced decomposition} associated with the…
