A connected nontrivial graph $G$ is {\it matching covered} if every edge of $G$ is contained in some perfect matching of $G$. A matching covered graph $G$ is {\it minimal} if $G-e$ is not matching covered for each edge $e$ of $G$. A graph…

Let $G$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ is a Berge-$G$ if there is a bijection $\phi: E(G)\to E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq \phi(e)$ for all $e\in E(G)$. For any $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ and a real number $p\geq 1$, the…

We study the extremal problem that relates the spectral radius $\lambda (G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ with its number of edges. Firstly, we prove that for any graph $F$ with chromatic number $\chi (F)=r+1\ge 3$, if $G$ is an $F$-free graph…

A {\it fractional matching} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ giving each edge a number in $[0,1]$ so that $\sum_{e \in \Gamma(v)} f(e) \le 1$ for each $v\in V(G)$, where $\Gamma(v)$ is the set of edges incident to $v$. The {\it fractional…
