Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $n$ a positive integer. Let $I_n(G)$ be the abstract simplicial complex whose simplices are the subsets of $V$ that do not contain an independent set of size $n$ in $G$. We study the collapsibility numbers of…

In this work, we delve into the study of the 2-switch-degree of a graph $G$, which is nothing more than the degree of $G$ as a vertex of the realization graph $\mathcal{G}(d)$ associated with the degree sequence $d$ of $G$. We explore the…

Assume $G$ is a graph and $k$ is a positive integer. Let $f:V(G)\to \mathbb{N}$ be defined as $f(v)=\min\{k,d_G(v)\}$. If $G$ is $f$-choosable, then we say $G$ is degree-truncated $k$-choosable. Answering a question of Richter, it was…

A nut graph is a graph on at least 2 vertices whose adjacency matrix has nullity 1 and for which non-trivial kernel vectors do not contain a zero. Chemical graphs are connected, with maximum degree at most three. We present a new algorithm…

A graph is prime if it does not admit a partition $(A,B)$ of its vertex set such that $\min\{|A|,|B|\} \geq 2$ and the rank of the $A\times B$ submatrix of its adjacency matrix is at most $1$. A vertex $v$ of a graph is non-essential if at…

If the vertices of a graph $G$ are colored with $k$ colors such that no adjacent vertices receive the same color and the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one, then $G$ is said to be equitably $k$-colorable. Let $|G|$ denote…

A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called pure if all of its facets have the same cardinality. Let $\mathcal G$ be the class of graphs…

Let \(G\) be a finite solvable group, and let \(\Delta(G)\) denote the \emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of \(G\). A fundamental result by P.P. P\'alfy asserts that the complement…

We investigate properties of signed graphs that have few distinct eigenvalues together with a symmetric spectrum. Our main contribution is to determine all signed $(0,2)$-graphs with vertex degree at most $6$ that have precisely two…

In this paper we investigate invertibility of graphs with a unique perfect matching, i.e. graphs having a unique 1-factor. We recall the new notion of the so-called negatively invertible graphs investigated by the authors in the recent…

We investigate the uniqueness of factorisation of possibly disconnected finite graphs with respect to the Cartesian, the strong and the direct product. It is proved that if a graph has $n$ connected components, where $n$ is prime, or…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a 3-connected simple graph are detailed. Conditions are also given under which such a sequence is necessarily 3-connected i.e. the sequence…

Let p be a prime larger than 3 and let G be a finite group. We prove that G is p-solvable of p-length at most 2 if there are at most two distinct character degrees relatively prime to p in the principal p-block of G. This generalizes a…

The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is the total number of distinct spanning subgraphs of $G$ that are trees. In this paper we characterize the unique graph with a prescribed vertex (resp. edge) connectivity, minimum degree and…

Recently, the work on quantum automorphism groups of graphs has seen renewed progress, which we expand in this paper. Quantum symmetry is a richer notion of symmetry than the classical symmetries of a graph. In general, it is non-trivial to…

A connected graph of order $n$ admitting a semiregular automorphism of order $n/k$ is called a $k$-multicirculant. Highly symmetric multicirculants of small valency have been extensively studied, and several classification results exist for…

Let G be a family of n-vertex graphs of uniform degree 2 with the property that the union of any two member graphs has degree four. We determine the leading term in the asymptotics of the largest cardinality of such a family. Several…

The set D of distinct signed degrees of the vertices in a signed graph G is called its signed degree set. In this paper, we prove that every non-empty set of positive (negative) integers is the signed degree set of some connected signed…

The design spectrum of a simple graph $G$ is the set of positive integers $n$ such that there exists an edgewise decomposition of the complete graph $K_n$ into $n(n - 1)/(2 |E(G)|)$ copies of $G$. We compute the design spectra for 7788…

We prove that an inseparable graph can have any positive number of cycles with the six exceptions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 16, and that an inseparable cubic graph has the additional exceptions 1 and 13. The exceptions for simple inseparable cubic…
