Let $(G,w)$ be a weighted graph with a weight-function $w: E(G)\to \mathbb R\backslash\{0\}$. A weighted graph $(G,w)$ is invertible to a new weighted graph if its adjacency matrix is invertible. A graph inverse has combinatorial interest…

In 1963, Corr\'adi and Hajnal proved that for all $k\geq1$ and $n\geq3k$, every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq2k$ contains $k$ disjoint cycles. The bound $\delta(G) \geq 2k$ is sharp. Here we characterize those…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset $S$ is called a maximum generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ does not contain a $k$-tree as its subgraph, and the subset has maximum cardinality. The generalized $k$-independence…

A graph $G$ is $k$-critical (list $k$-critical, DP $k$-critical) if $\chi(G)= k$ ($\chi_\ell(G)= k$, $\chi_\mathrm{DP}(G)= k$) and for every proper subgraph $G'$ of $G$, $\chi(G')<k$ ($\chi_\ell(G')< k$, $\chi_\mathrm{DP}(G')<k$). Let $f(n,…

In this short note we study two questions about the existence of subgraphs of the hypercube $Q_n$ with certain properties. The first question, due to Erd\H{o}s--Hamburger--Pippert--Weakley, asks whether there exists a bounded degree…
