In 1991 Gy\H ori, Pach, and Simonovits proved that for any bipartite graph $H$ containing a matching avoiding at most 1 vertex, the maximum number of copies of $H$ in any large enough triangle-free graph is achieved in a balanced complete…
A graph is universally $k$-edge-weightable if for every $k$-element set $Q\subset\mathbb{R}$, it admits a proper $Q$-edge weighting. The settled 1-2-3 conjecture implies that for any arithmetic progression $\{a,b,c\}$, every nice regular…
A graph $G$ is $(k,k')$-choosable if the following holds: For any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a total…
An orientation of a graph $G$ is proper if any two adjacent vertices have different indegrees. The proper orientation number $\overrightarrow{\chi}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum of the maximum indegree, taken over all proper…
The Unfriendly Partition Problem asks whether it is possible to split the vertex set of an infinite graph $G$ into two parts so that every vertex has at least as many neighbors in the other part than on its own. Despite the uncountable…
Alon and Krivelevich conjectured that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, then the choosability (or list chromatic number) of $G$ satisfies $\chi_{\ell}(G) = O \left ( \log \Delta \right )$. Currently, the best known…
We show that if the two parts of a finite bipartite graph have the same degree sequence, then there is a bipartite graph, with the same degree sequences, which is symmetric, in that it has an involutive graph automorphism that interchanges…
We prove that a complete bipartite graph can be decomposed into cycles of arbitrary specified lengths provided that the obvious necessary conditions are satisfied, the length of each cycle is at most the size of the smallest part, and the…
A graph is square-complementary (squco, for short) if its square and complement are isomorphic. We prove that there are no squco graphs with girth 6, that every bipartite graph is an induced subgraph of a squco bipartite graph, that the…
We study "positive" graphs that have a nonnegative homomorphism number into every edge-weighted graph (where the edgeweights may be negative). We conjecture that all positive graphs can be obtained by taking two copies of an arbitrary…
A \emph{directional labeling} of an edge $\emph{uv}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ by an ordered pair $ab$ is a labeling of the edge $uv$ such that the label on $uv$ in the direction from $u$ to $v$ is $\ell(uv)=ab$, and $\ell(vu)=ba$. New…
A strong edge colouring of a graph is an assignment of colours to the edges of the graph such that for every colour, the set of edges that are given that colour form an induced matching in the graph. The strong chromatic index of a graph…
We show that any complete $k$-partite graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, with $k \ge 3$, whose edges are two-coloured, can be covered with two vertex-disjoint monochromatic paths of distinct colours. We prove this under the necessary assumption…
We investigate the joint distribution of the vertex degrees in three models of random bipartite graphs. Namely, we can choose each edge with a specified probability, choose a specified number of edges, or specify the vertex degrees in one…
The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph defined on $V(G)$ such that two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent in $G^2$ if the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most 2. Let $\chi(H)$ and $\chi_{\ell}(H)$ be the chromatic number and…
A cycle double cover (CDC) of an undirected graph is a collection of the graph's cycles such that every edge of the graph belongs to exactly two cycles. We describe a constructive method for generating all the cubic graphs that have a 6-CDC…
A common problem in graph colouring seeks to decompose the edge set of a given graph into few similar and simple subgraphs, under certain divisibility conditions. In 1987 Wormald conjectured that the edges of every cubic graph on $4n$…
A graph of order $n$ is $p$-factor-critical, where $p$ is an integer of the same parity as $n$, if the removal of any set of $p$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. 1-factor-critical graphs and 2-factor-critical graphs are…
A \emph{$k$--bisection} of a bridgeless cubic graph $G$ is a $2$--colouring of its vertex set such that the colour classes have the same cardinality and all connected components in the two subgraphs induced by the colour classes have order…
A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A, B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. It is easy…
