The double graph of a graph $G$ is defined as $\mathcal{D}[G]$ = $G \times T_2$, where \(T_2\) is the total graph with 2 vertices and $\times$ stands for the Kronecker product of graphs. In this paper, sufficient conditions for double…

The $g$-$extra$ $connectivity$ $\kappa_{g}(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices, if it exists, whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected and leaves each remaining component with more than $g$ vertices,…

An equivalence graph is a disjoint union of cliques, and the equivalence number $\mathit{eq}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of equivalence subgraphs needed to cover the edges of $G$. We consider the equivalence number of a line…

The independence complex of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the simplicial complex $I(G)$ on vertex set $V$ whose simplices are the independent sets in $G$. We present new lower bounds on the eigenvalues of the $k$-dimensional Laplacian $L_k(I(G))$ in…

Bollob\'{a}s and Scott [5] conjectured that every graph $G$ has a balanced bipartite spanning subgraph $H$ such that for each $v\in V(G)$, $d_H(v)\ge (d_G(v)-1)/2$. In this paper, we show that every graphic sequence has a realization for…

The linear arboricity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\text{la}(G)$, is the minimum number of edge-disjoint linear forests (i.e. forests in which every connected component is a path) in $G$ whose union covers all the edges of $G$. A famous…

For a list-assignment $L$, the reconfiguration graph $C_L(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are proper $L$-colorings of $G$ and whose edges link two colorings that differ on only one vertex. If $|L(v)| \ge d(v) + 2$ for every…

The Hadwiger number of a graph $G$, denoted by $h(G)$, is the order of the largest complete minor of $G$. A graph is said to be self-complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement. We prove that for all $n\equiv 0,1 (\text{mod 4})$ and…
