The concept of generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_{k}(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et al. in recent years. In our early paper, extremal theory for this graph parameter was started. We determined the minimal number of…
We address the problem proposed by Chartrand, Erd\H{o}s and Oellermann (1988) about the existence of regular $K_3$-irregular graphs. We first establish bounds on the $K_3$-degrees of such graphs and use them to prove that there are no such…
In this paper we give graphs with the largest known order for a given degree $\Delta$ and diameter $D$. The graphs are constructed from Moore bipartite graphs by replacement of some vertices by adequate structures. The paper also contains…
The Voronoi diagrams technique was introduced by Cabello to compute the diameter of planar graphs in subquadratic time. We present novel applications of this technique in static, fault-tolerant, and partially-dynamic undirected unweighted…

The Pancake graph($P_n$) represents the group of all permutations on n elements, namely $S_n$, with respect to the generating set containing all prefix reversals. The diameter of a graph is the maximum of all distances on the graph, where…
An orientation $D$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a digraph obtained from $G$ by replacing each edge by exactly one of the two possible arcs with the same end vertices. For each $v \in V(G)$, the indegree of $v$ in $D$, denoted by $d^-_D(v)$, is…
Given a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, with minimum degree $\delta\geq 2$ and girth at least $g \geq 4$, what is the maximum radius $r$ this graph can have? Erd\H{o}s, Pach, Pollack and Tuza established in the triangle-free case…
The spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Woo and Neumaier discovered that a connected graph $G$ with $\rho(G)\leq 3/2{\sqrt{2}}$ is either a dagger, an open quipu, or a closed quipu.…
A graph is called $k$-critical if its chromatic number is $k$ but any proper subgraph has chromatic number less than $k$. An old and important problem in graph theory asks to determine the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex…
The diameter of a directed graph is the maximum distance between any pair of vertices. We study a problem that generalizes \textsc{Oriented Diameter}: For a given directed graph and a positive integer $d$, what is the minimum number of arc…
A solution to a problem of Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable, and $c/d > a/b$, then $G$ is not necessarily $(c:d)$-choosable. The simplest case of another problem, stated by the same…
The Wiener index W(G) of a graph G is the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of its vertices. Dobrynin and Mel'nikov [in: Distance in Molecular Graphs - Theory, 2012, p. 85-121] propose the study of estimates for extremal values…
The classical spectral Tur\'{a}n problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph of order $n$. Zhai and Wang [Linear Algebra Appl, 437 (2012) 1641-1647] determined the maximum spectral radius of…
The booksize $ \mathrm{bk}(G) $ of a graph $ G $, introduced by Erd\H{o}s, refers to the maximum integer $ r $ for which $G$ contains the book $ B_r $ as a subgraph. This paper investigates two open problems in spectral graph theory related…
A \textit{diameter graph in $\mathbb R^d$} is a graph, whose set of vertices is a finite subset of $\mathbb R^d$ and whose set of edges is formed by pairs of vertices that are at diameter apart. This paper is devoted to the study of…
In 1959, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai established two classic theorems, which determine the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no cycles of length at least $k$, and in an $n$-vertex graph with no paths on $k$ vertices,…
An oriented graph has weak diameter at most $d$ if every non-adjacent pair of vertices are connected by a directed $d$-path. The function $f_d(n)$ denotes the minimum number of arcs in an oriented graph on $n$ vertices having weak diameter…
For $n \in \mathbb{N}$ let $\delta_n$ be the smallest value such that every graph of order $n$ and minimum degree at least $\delta_n$ admits an orientation of diameter two. We show that $\delta_n=\frac{n}{2} + \Theta(\ln n)$.
