Fix graphs $F$ and $H$. Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. In this note we will give a new general supersaturation result for $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ in the case when…

A dominating set of a graph is a subset $D$ of its vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one member of $D$. The domination number of a graph $G$ is the number of vertices in a smallest dominating set of $G$. The…

Star sampling (SS) is a random sampling procedure on a graph wherein each sample consists of a randomly selected vertex (the star center) and its (one-hop) neighbors (the star points). We consider the use of SS to find any member of a…

In this paper, we address problems related to parameters concerning edge mappings of graphs. The quantity $h(n,G)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph $H$ such that there exists a mapping $f: E(H)\rightarrow…

A numbering $f$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a labeling that assigns distinct elements of the set $\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} $ to the vertices of $G$, where each $uv\in E\left( G\right) $ is labeled $f\left( u\right) +f\left( v\right)…

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

A graph $G$ is called universal for a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if it contains every element $F \in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}(n,2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree $2$. Ferber, Kronenberg, and Luh…

In this paper we prove that the limiting distribution of the Chromatic number of a random graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, with fixed edge-probability $p$, after appropriate centering and scaling is Normal, when the number of vertices $n$, goes…

A \emph{star coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper vertex-coloring such that no path on four vertices is $2$-colored. The minimum number of colors required to obtain a star coloring of a graph $G$ is called star chromatic number and it is…

Motivated by Keisler's order, a far-reaching program of understanding basic model-theoretic structure through the lens of regular ultrapowers, we prove that for a class of regular filters $D$ on $I$, $|I| = \lambda > \aleph_0$, the fact…

We define the limiting density of a minor-closed family of simple graphs F to be the smallest number k such that every n-vertex graph in F has at most kn(1+o(1)) edges, and we investigate the set of numbers that can be limiting densities.…

A $k$-star colouring of a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\to\{0,1,\dots,k-1\}$ such that $f(u)\neq f(v)$ for every edge $uv$ of $G$, and every bicoloured connected subgraph of $G$ is a star. The star chromatic number of $G$, $\chi_s(G)$, is…

The vertex isoperimetric number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum of the ratio $|\partial_{V}U|/|U|$ where $U$ ranges over all nonempty subsets of $V$ with $|U|/|V|\le u$ and $\partial_{V}U$ is the set of all vertices adjacent to $U$ but…

Let $G$ be a graph of size $m$ and $\rho(G)$ be the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. A graph is said to be $F$-free if it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $F$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a $K_{2,r+1}$-free…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, we say that $G$ is $H$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to $H$, and that $G$ is $H$-induced-saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but removing or adding any edge in $G$ creates an induced copy of $H$. A full…

The \emph{domination subdivision number} sd$(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number of $G$. It has been shown…

A star of length $ \ell $ is defined as the complete bipartite graph $ K_{1,\ell } $. In this paper we deal with the problem of edge decomposition of graphs into stars of varying lengths. Given a graph $ G $ and a list of integers…

For any graph $G$ of order $p$, a bijection $f: V(G)\to [1,p]$ is called a numbering of the graph $G$ of order $p$. The strength $str_f(G)$ of a numbering $f: V(G)\to [1,p]$ of $G$ is defined by $str_f(G) = \max\{f(u)+f(v)\; |\; uv\in…
