An oriented graph is a digraph that contains no 2-cycles, i.e., there is at most one arc between any two vertices. We show that every oriented graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with $\mathrm{deg}^+(x) +\mathrm{deg}^{-}(y)\geq…

We classify all graphs $G$ satisfying the property that all matching powers $I(G)^{[k]}$ of the edge ideal $I(G)$ are bi-Cohen-Macaulay for $1\le k\le\nu(G)$, where $\nu(G)$ is the maximum size of a matching of $G$.

Let $G$ be a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices and $J_G$ the binomial edge ideal of $G$. Let $S$ denote the polynomial ring in $2n$ variables over a field. It is shown that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $S/J_G$ is…

A {\em $(d,h)$-decomposition} of a graph $G$ is an order pair $(D,H)$ such that $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ where $H$ has the maximum degree at most $h$ and $D$ is an acyclic orientation of $G-E(H)$ of maximum out-degree at most $d$. A graph…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with edge ideal $I(G)$. For $q\ge 1$, the $q$-th squarefree power $I(G)^{[q]}$ is generated by products of $q$ pairwise disjoint edges of $G$. It is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex…

A graph is {\em{$\ell$-holed}} if all of its induced cycles of length at least four have length exactly $\ell$. In the paper, we prove that if $G$ is an $\ell$-holed graph with odd $\ell\geq 7$, then $\chi(G)\leq {\lceil {\ell \over…

For each Boolean graph $B_n$, it is proved that both $B_n$ and its complement graph $\overline{B_n}$ are vertex decomposable. It is also proved that $B_n$ is an unmixed graph, thus it is also Cohen-Macaulay.

A graph is even-hole-free if it has no induced even cycles of length 4 or more. A cap is a cycle of length at least 5 with exactly one chord and that chord creates a triangle with the cycle. In this paper, we consider (cap, even hole)-free…
