Let $G$ be an undirected graph of order $n$ and let $C_i$ be an $i$-cycle graph. $G$ is called pancyclic if $G$ contains a $C_i$ for any $i\in \{3,4,\ldots,n\}$. We show that the pancyclicity of specific Cayley graphs and the Cartesian…

We study triangle decompositions of graphs. We consider constructions of classes of graphs where every edge lies on a triangle and the addition of the minimum number of multiple edges between already adjacent vertices results in a strongly…

It is proven that a connected graph is planar if and only if all its cocycles with at least four edges are "grounded" in the graph. The notion of grounding of this planarity criterion, which is purely combinatorial, stems from the intuitive…

For large $n$ we determine exactly the maximum numbers of induced $C_4$ and $C_5$ subgraphs that a planar graph on $n$ vertices can contain. We show that $K_{2,n-2}$ uniquely achieves this maximum in the $C_4$ case, and we identify the…

We show that the problem of counting the number of Eulerian circuits in an undirected graph is complete for the class #P.

For large $n$ we determine the maximum number of induced 6-cycles which can be contained in a planar graph on $n$ vertices, and we classify the graphs which achieve this maximum. In particular we show that the maximum is achieved by the…

We investigate a cancellation property satisfied by a connected Eulerian digraph $D$. Namely, unless $D$ is a single directed cycle, we have $\sum_{k\geq 1} (-1)^{k} f_k(D)=0$, where $f_k(D)$ is the number of partitions of Eulerian circuits…

In this paper we study three substructures in hypergraphs that generalize the notion of an Euler tour in a graph. A flag-traversing tour of a hypergraph corresponds to an Euler tour of its incidence graph, hence complete characterization of…

A permutation graph is a cubic graph admitting a 1-factor M whose complement consists of two chordless cycles. Extending results of Ellingham and of Goldwasser and Zhang, we prove that if e is an edge of M such that every 4-cycle containing…

A minimum feedback arc set of a directed graph $G$ is a smallest set of arcs whose removal makes $G$ acyclic. Its cardinality is denoted by $\beta(G)$. We show that an Eulerian digraph with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs has $\beta(G) \ge…

A planar graph can be embedded in a piecewise linear manifold, and the lattice on each linear piece can be colored with 3-coloring. If a planar graph can be colored with multiple 3-coloring, i.e. coloring the graph in pieces with different…

We prove that, for every positive integer k, there is an integer N such that every 4-connected non-planar graph with at least N vertices has a minor isomorphic to K_{4,k}, the graph obtained from a cycle of length 2k+1 by adding an edge…

We consider edge decompositions of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ into isomorphic copies of a given graph $H$. While a number of results are known about decomposing $Q_n$ into graphs from various classes, the simplest cases of paths…

Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…

It was independently conjectured by H\"aggkvist in 1989 and Kriesell in 2011 that given a positive integer $\ell$, every simple eulerian graph with high minimum degree (depending on $\ell$) admits an eulerian tour such that every segment of…

Counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles that are contained in a geometric graph is {\bf \#P}-complete even if the graph is known to be planar \cite{lot:refer}. A relaxation for problems in plane geometric graphs is to allow the geometric…

In a graph $G$, a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V(G)$ is said to be cyclable if there is a cycle containing the vertices in some order. $G$ is said to be $k$-cyclable if any subset of $k \geq 2$ vertices is cyclable. If any $k$…

A graph is called a $k$-planar unit distance graph if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is a unit line segment and is involved in at most $k$ crossings. We investigate $u_k(n)$, the maximum number of edges of such graphs on…

We consider the problem of sampling from the uniform distribution on the set of Eulerian orientations of subgraphs of the triangular lattice. Although it is known that this can be achieved in polynomial time for any graph, the algorithm…

These are some informal remarks on quadratic orbital networks over finite fields. We discuss connectivity, Euler characteristic, number of cliques, planarity, diameter and inductive dimension. We find a non-trivial disconnected graph for…
