Let G be a graph of n vertices and m edges, and let G has no cycles of length 4. We give upper bounds on the adjacency spectral radius of G in terms of n and m.
The mean weight of a cycle in an edge-weighted graph is the sum of the cycle's edge weights divided by the cycle's length. We study the minimum mean-weight cycle on the complete graph on n vertices, with random i.i.d. edge weights drawn…
We define the cover number of a graph $G$ by a graph class $\mathcal P$ as the minimum number of graphs of class $\mathcal P$ required to cover the edge set of $G$. Taking inspiration from a paper by Harary, Hsu and Miller, we find an exact…
A path cover of a graph is a set of disjoint paths so that every vertex in the graph is contained in one of the paths. The path cover number $p(G)$ of graph $G$ is the cardinality of a path cover with the minimum number of paths. Reed in…
Without imposing restrictions on a weighted graph's arc lengths, symmetry structures cannot be expected. But, they exist. To find them, the graphs are decomposed into a component that dictates all closed path properties (e.g., shortest and…
In this short note, we prove that for \beta < 1/5 every graph G with n vertices and n^{2-\beta} edges contains a subgraph G' with at least cn^{2-2\beta} edges such that every pair of edges in G' lie together on a cycle of length at most 8.…
Substantial efforts have been made to compute or estimate the minimum number $c(G)$ of cycles needed to partition the edges of an Eulerian graph. We give an equivalent characterization of Eulerian graphs of treewidth $2$ and with maximum…
A classical result of Bondy and Simonovits in extremal graph theory states that if a graph on $n$ vertices contains no cycle of length $2k$ then it has at most $O(n^{1+1/k})$ edges. However, matching lower bounds are only known for…
A Berge cycle of length $\ell$ in a hypergraph is an alternating sequence of $\ell$ distinct vertices and $\ell$ distinct edges $v_1,e_1,v_2, \ldots, v_\ell, e_{\ell}$ such that $\{v_i, v_{i+1}\} \subseteq e_i$ for all $i$, with indices…
In this paper, we consider a random geometric graph (RGG)~\(G\) on~\(n\) nodes with adjacency distance~\(r_n\) just below the Hamiltonicity threshold and construct Hamiltonian cycles using additional edges called bridges. The bridges by…
Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. In this paper we provide several novel characterizations of planar median…
A graph {\it has cutwidth at most 2} if one can number its vertices by $1,\ldots n$ so that for every $i=1,\ldots,n-1$ there are at most 2 edges $(u,v)$ such that $u\le i<v$. A characterization of graphs having cutwidth at most 2 in terms…
Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph with $n$ vertices. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called a rainbow subgraph of $G$ if the colors of each pair of the edges in $E(H)$ are distinct. We define the minimum color degree of $G$ to be the smallest…
A graph is cubical if it is a subgraph of a hypercube. For a cubical graph $H$ and a hypercube $Q_n$, $ex(Q_n, H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of $Q_n$. If $ex(Q_n, H)$ is equal to a positive proportion of the…
An upper bound for the number of Hamiltonian cycles of symmetric diagraphs is established first in this paper, which is tighter than the famous Minc's bound and the Br$\acute{e}$gman's bound. A transformation on graphs is proposed, so that…
Minimal Strong Digraphs (MSDs) can be regarded as a generalization of the concept of tree to directed graphs. Their cyclic structure and some spectral properties have been studied in several articles. In this work, we further study some…
Given a set $R$, a hypergraph is $R$-uniform if the size of every hyperedge belongs to $R$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called \textit{covering} if every vertex pair is contained in some hyperedge in $\mathcal{H}$. In this note, we show…
A graph is chordal if every cycle of length at least four contains a chord, that is, an edge connecting two nonconsecutive vertices of the cycle. Several classical applications in sparse linear systems, database management, computer vision,…
We discuss how to find the well-covered dimension of a graph that is the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete graphs, and other simple graphs. Also, a bound for the well-covered dimension of $K_n\times G$ is found, provided that $G$…
