The Chen-Lih-Wu Conjecture states that each connected graph with maximum degree $\Delta\geq 3$ that is not the complete graph $K_{\Delta+1}$ or the complete bipartite graph $K_{\Delta,\Delta}$ admits an equitable coloring with $\Delta$…

Let $\delta$ and $\Delta$ be the minimum and the maximum degree of the vertices of a simple connected graph $G$, respectively. The distinguishing index of a graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of…

A graph $G$ is called edge-magic if there exists a bijective function $f:V\left(G\right) \cup E\left(G\right)\rightarrow \left\{1, 2, \ldots , \left\vert V\left( G\right) \right\vert +\left\vert E\left( G\right) \right\vert \right\}$ such…

We prove a robust version of a graph embedding theorem of Sauer and Spencer. To state this sparser analogue, we define $G(p)$ to be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p \in…

A proper edge coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,\dots,t$ is called a \emph{cyclic interval $t$-coloring} if for each vertex $v$ of $G$ the edges incident to $v$ are colored by consecutive colors, under the condition that color $1$ is…

We prove Larsen's conjecture for elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with analytic rank at most $1$. Specifically, let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. If $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has analytic rank at most $1$, then we prove that…

Given a graph $G$, a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ is \textit{cycle convex}, if for any vertex $v \in V(G) \setminus S$, the induced subgraph, $G[S \cup \{v\}]$ cannot form a cycle containing the vertex $v$. The \textit{exchange number} of $G$,…

We give a uniform and self-contained proof that if $G$ is a connected graph with $\chi(G) = \Delta(G)$ and $G\neq \overline{C_7}$, then $G$ contains either $K_{\Delta(G)}$ or an odd hole where every vertex has degree at least $\Delta(G)-1$…

An undirected graph is Eulerian if it is connected and all its vertices are of even degree. Similarly, a directed graph is Eulerian, if for each vertex its in-degree is equal to its out-degree. It is well known that Eulerian graphs can be…

We prove a precise min-max theorem for the following problem. Let $G$ be an Eulerian graph with a specified set of edges $S \subseteq E(G)$, and let $b$ be a vertex of $G$. Then what is the maximum integer $k$ so that the edge-set of $G$…

The famous Gallai's Conjecture states that any connected graph with n vertices has a path decomposition containing at most (n+1)/2 paths. In this note, we explore graphs generated from removing edges from complete graphs. We first provide…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-universal if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. For the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices and of maximum degree at most…

Let ${\rm ind}(G)$ be the number of independent sets in a graph $G$. We show that if $G$ has maximum degree at most $5$ then $$ {\rm ind}(G) \leq 2^{{\rm iso}(G)} \prod_{uv \in E(G)} {\rm ind}(K_{d(u),d(v)})^{\frac{1}{d(u)d(v)}} $$ (where…

A well known Euler's formula consequence's corollary in graph theory states that: For a connected simple planar graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and girth $g$, we have $m \leq \frac{g}{g-2}(n-2)$. We show that a connected simple plane…

A long-standing conjecture of Berge suggests that every bridgeless cubic graph can be expressed as a union of at most five perfect matchings. This conjecture trivially holds for $3$-edge-colourable cubic graphs, but remains widely open for…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

The eccentricity matrix $\epsilon(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is obtained by retaining the maximum distance from each row and column of the distance matrix of $G$ and the other entries are assigned with 0. In this paper, we discuss the…

Albertson conjectured that if graph $G$ has chromatic number $r$, then the crossing number of $G$ is at least that of the complete graph $K_r$. This conjecture in the case $r=5$ is equivalent to the four color theorem. It was verified for…
