We systematically determine circular chromatic index of small graphs and multigraphs with maximum degree $4$, $5$, $6$ (and also their number for a given small order). We construct several infinite families of such graphs with circular…
In this paper extremal values of the difference between several graph invariants related to the metric dimension are studied: mixed metric dimension, edge metric dimension and strong metric dimension. These non-trivial extremal values are…
The bend-number b(G) of a graph G is the minimum k such that G may be represented as the edge intersection graph of a set of grid paths with at most k bends. We confirm a conjecture of Biedl and Stern showing that the maximum bend-number of…
An extremal graph for a given graph $H$ is a graph with maximum number of edges on fixed number of vertices without containing a copy of $H$. The $k$-th power of a path is a graph obtained from a path and joining all pair of vertices of the…
A long-standing conjecture asserts that there exists a constant $c>0$ such that every graph of order $n$ without isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph of order at least $cn$ with all degrees odd. Scott (1992) proved that every…
We consider the degree/diameter problem for graphs embedded in a surface, namely, given a surface $\Sigma$ and integers $\Delta$ and $k$, determine the maximum order $N(\Delta,k,\Sigma)$ of a graph embeddable in $\Sigma$ with maximum degree…
This paper considers the degree-diameter problem for undirected circulant graphs. For degrees 10 and 11 newly discovered families of circulant graphs of arbitrary diameter are presented which are largest known and are conjectured to be…
The sparsity order of a (simple undirected) graph is the highest possible rank (over ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$) of the extremal elements in the matrix cone that consists of positive semidefinite matrices with prescribed zeros on the…
A graph is hypohamiltonian if it is not Hamiltonian, but the deletion of any single vertex gives a Hamiltonian graph. Until now, the smallest known planar hypohamiltonian graph had 42 vertices, a result due to Araya and Wiener. That result…
A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share no common end vertex. IC-planarity specializes both NIC-planarity, which allows a pair of crossing…
We conjecture that every $n$-vertex graph of minimum degree at least $\frac k2$ and maximum degree at least $2k$ contains all trees with $k$ edges as subgraphs. We prove an approximate version of this conjecture for trees of bounded degree…
To any graph we associate a sequence of integers called the gonality sequence of the graph, consisting of the minimum degrees of divisors of increasing rank on the graph. This is a tropical analogue of the gonality sequence of an algebraic…
We create the unlabeled or vertex-labeled graphs with up to 10 edges and up to 10 vertices and classify them by a set of standard properties: directed or not, vertex-labeled or not, connectivity, presence of isolated vertices, presence of…
We investigate graph based secret sharing schemes and its information ratio, also called complexity, measuring the maximal amount of information the vertices has to store. It was conjectured that in large girth graphs, where the interaction…
Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructible if they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured…
For a graph G and an integer t we let mcc_t(G) be the smallest m such that there exists a coloring of the vertices of G by t colors with no monochromatic connected subgraph having more than m vertices. Let F be any nontrivial minor-closed…
We consider embeddings of maximal outerplanar graphs whose vertices all lie on a cycle $\mathcal{C}$ bounding a face. Each edge of the graph that is not in $\mathcal{C}$, a chord, is assigned a length equal to the length of the shortest…
We estimate the maximum ratio between the $\sigma_t$- and $\sigma$-irregularity for graphs and trees of order $n$, which are respectively bounded by $\Theta(n^{5/2})$ and $n-2$. This answers a question and a conjecture by Filipovski et al.…
The modelling of interconnection networks by graphs motivated the study of several extremal problems that involve well known parameters of a graph (degree, diameter, girth and order) and ask for the optimal value of one of them while…
The fractional matching number of a graph G, is the maximum size of a fractional matching of G. The following sharp lower bounds for a graph G of order n are proved, and all extremal graphs are characterized in this paper. (1)The sum of the…
