Recently, Alon, Cambie, and Kang introduced asymmetric list coloring of bipartite graphs, where the size of each vertex's list depends on its part. For complete bipartite graphs, we fix the list sizes of one part and consider the resulting…

We study minimum degree conditions for which a graph with given odd girth has a simple structure. For example, the classical work of Andr\'asfai, Erd\H os, and S\'os implies that every $n$-vertex graph with odd girth $2k+1$ and minimum…

A set of vertices $W$ resolves a graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $W$. A metric dimension of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$. A bipartite graph G(n,n) is…

The critical group of a connected graph is closely related to the graph Laplacian, and is of high research value in combinatorics, algebraic geometry, statistical physics, and several other areas of mathematics. In this paper, we study the…

We determine the size of $k$-core in a large class of dense graph sequences. Let $G_n$ be a sequence of undirected, $n$-vertex graphs with edge weights $\{a^n_{i,j}\}_{i,j \in [n]}$ that converges to a kernel $W:[0,1]^2\to [0,+\infty)$ in…

A graph is $1$-$planar$ if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. Moreover, a 1-planar graph $G$ is $optimal$ if it satisfies $|E(G)|=4|V(G)|-8$. J. Fujisawa et al. [16] first considered…

Graph code is a linear code obtained from linear codes $C$ and a certain bipartite graph G. In this paper, I propose an expansion of the definition of graph code to general $l$-partite, and give its lower bound of minimum distance. I also…

In this paper, we prove that for any $k\ge 3$, there exist infinitely many minimal asymmetric $k$-uniform hypergraphs. This is in a striking contrast to $k=2$, where it has been proved recently that there are exactly $18$ minimal asymmetric…

Bipartite Ramsey numbers is the smallest size of a complete bipartite graph $K_{N,N}$ such that every edge-coloring with a given number of colors inevitably yields a monochromatic copy of a prescribed bipartite graph. While exact values…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-subspace choosable over a field $\mathbb{F}$ if for every assignment of $k$-dimensional subspaces of some finite-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}$ to the vertices of $G$, it is possible to choose for…

Let $G$ be a simple, connected non bipartite graph and let $I_G$ be the edge idealof $G$. In our previous work we showed that L. Lov\'asz's theorem on ear decompositions offactor-critical graphs and the canonical decomposition of a graph…

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $\ell\ge 2$, we denote by $\alpha_{\ell}(G)$ the maximum size of a $K_{\ell}$-free subset of vertices in $V(G)$. A recent question of Nenadov and Pehova asks for determining the best possible minimum degree…

We characterize the bipartite graphs that minimize the (first-degree based) entropy, among all bipartite graphs of given size, or given size and (upper bound on the) order. The extremal graphs turn out to be complete bipartite graphs, or…

A well known generalisation of Dirac's theorem states that if a graph $G$ on $n\ge 4k$ vertices has minimum degree at least $n/2$ then $G$ contains a $2$-factor consisting of exactly $k$ cycles. This is easily seen to be tight in terms of…
