Let $H$ be a graph with maximum degree $d$, and let $d'\ge 0$. We show that for some $c>0$ depending on $H,d'$, and all integers $n\ge 0$, there are at most $c^n$ unlabelled simple $d$-connected $n$-vertex graphs with maximum degree at most…

Let m(G) denote the number of maximal independent sets of vertices in a graph G and let c(n,r) be the maximum value of m(G) over all connected graphs with n vertices and at most r cycles. A theorem of Griggs, Grinstead, and Guichard gives a…

We study the existence and the number of $k$-dominating independent sets in certain graph families. While the case $k=1$ namely the case of maximal independent sets - which is originated from Erd\H{o}s and Moser - is widely investigated,…

A compact set $E\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ is said to be arithmetically thick if there exists a positive integer $n$ so that the $n$-fold arithmetic sum of $E$ has non-empty interior. We prove the arithmetic thickness of $E$, if $E$ is uniformly…

We give the first analysis of the computational complexity of {\it coalition structure generation over graphs}. Given an undirected graph $G=(N,E)$ and a valuation function $v:2^N\rightarrow\RR$ over the subsets of nodes, the problem is to…

The generalized Kneser graph $K(n,k,t)$ for integers $k>t>0$ and $n>2k-t$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ with two vertices adjacent if and only if they share less than $t$ elements. We determine the…

Arithmetical structures on graphs were first introduced in \cite{Lorenzini89}. Later in \cite{arithmetical} they were further studied in the setting of square non-negative integer matrices. In both cases, necessary and sufficient conditions…

We conjecture that the balanced complete bipartite graph $K_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor,\lceil n/2 \rceil}$ contains more cycles than any other $n$-vertex triangle-free graph, and we make some progress toward proving this. We give equivalent…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

We give a self-contained proof that for all positive integers $r$ and all $\epsilon > 0$, there is an integer $N = N(r, \epsilon)$ such that for all $n \ge N$ any regular multigraph of order $2n$ with multiplicity at most $r$ and degree at…

A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma = (V, E)$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ that is an independent set such that every vertex in $V \setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. A total perfect code in $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such…

A square (0,1)-matrix X of order n > 0 is called fully indecomposable if there exists no integer k with 0 < k < n, such that X has a k by n-k zero submatrix. A stable set of a graph G is a subset of pairwise nonadjacent vertices. The…

A \emph{complete geometric graph} consists of a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, in general position, and all segments (edges) connecting them. It is a well known question of Bose, Hurtado, Rivera-Campo, and Wood, whether there exists a…

Let A be a C*-algebra with real rank zero which has the stable weak cancellation property. Let I be an ideal of A such that I is stable and satisfies the corona factorization property. We prove that 0->I->A->A/I->0 is a full extension if…

For each positive integer $n$, the Fibonacci-sum graph $G_n$ on vertices $1,2,\ldots,n$ is defined by two vertices forming an edge if and only if they sum to a Fibonacci number. It is known that each $G_n$ is bipartite, and all Hamiltonian…

The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of its adjacency eigenvalues. For integral circulant graphs $\ICG(n,\mathcal{D})$ of order $n=p^2q^3$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct odd primes, we prove that the adjacency…

For $r \ge 2$ and a graph $G$, let $\alpha_{{r}}(G)$ be the maximum number of vertices in a $K_r$-free subgraph of $G$. We investigate the value $\alpha_{r}(G)$ when $G$ is the random graph $G \sim G_{n, 1/2}$ and discover the following…

For every positive integer $n$, we find a complete classification for planar graphs according to the collection of numbers of common neighbours for every $n$-tuple of distinct vertices. Our results expand the literature on planar graphical…

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of…

In 1978 Erd\H os asked if every sufficiently large set of points in general position in the plane contains the vertices of a convex $k$-gon, with the additional property that no other point of the set lies in its interior. Shortly after,…
