A shortest circuit cover ${\cal F}$ of a bridgeless graph $G$ is a family of circuits that covers every edge of $G$ and is of minimum total length. The total length of a shortest circuit cover ${\cal F}$ of $G$ is denoted by $SCC(G)$. For…

In 1983, Bouchet conjectured that every flow-admissible signed graph admits a nowhere-zero 6-flow. We verify this conjecture for the class of flow-admissible signed graphs possessing a spanning even Eulerian subgraph, which includes as a…

The line graph of a graph with signed edges carries vertex signs. A vertex-signed graph is consistent if every circle (cycle, circuit) has positive vertex-sign product. Acharya, Acharya, and Sinha recently characterized line-consistent…

A signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ is a graph $G$ along with a function $\sigma: E(G) \to \{+,-\}$. A closed walk of a signed graph is positive (resp., negative) if it has an even (resp., odd) number of negative edges, counting repetitions. A…

In this paper we employ Tutte's theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the…

In this paper we provide two recognition algorithms for the class of signed-graphic matroids along with necessary and sufficient conditions for a matroid to be signed-graphic. Specifically, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm which…

We define an equivalence relation on graphs with signed edges, such that the associated adjacency matrices of two equivalent graphs are congruent over $\mathbb{Z}$. We show that signed graphs whose eigenvalues are larger than $-2$ are…

We prove that every connected locally finite regular graph has a double cover which is isomorphic to a Schreier graph.

A signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges. Switching a vertex $v$ of a signed graph corresponds to changing the type of each edge incident to $v$. A homomorphism from a signed graph $G$ to another signed graph $H$ is a…

We study a counting version of Cycle Double Cover Conjecture. We discuss why it is more interesting to count circuits (i.e., graphs isomorphic to $C_k$ for some $k$) instead of cycles (graphs with all degrees even). We give an…

It is known that the canonical double cover of any connected nonbipartite graph have an automorphism group of the form $H \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, where $H$ is the set of automorphism which preserve bipartite parts. We construct connected…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled either positive or negative. Corresponding to the two signed distance matrices defined for signed graphs, we define two signed distance laplacian matrices. We characterize balance in signed…

We prove that an eulerian graph $G$ admits a decomposition into $k$ closed trails of odd length if and only if and it contains at least $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint odd circuits and $k\equiv |E(G)|\pmod{2}$. We conjecture that a connected…

A signed graph is a graph together with an assignment of signs to the edges. A closed walk in a signed graph is said to be positive (negative) if it has an even (odd) number of negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing the signs of…

This paper studies the choosability of signed planar graphs. We prove that every signed planar graph is 5-choosable and that there is a signed planar graph which is not 4-choosable while the unsigned graph is 4-choosable. For each $k \in…

Signed graphs are graphs whose edges get a sign $+1$ or $-1$ (the signature). Signed graphs can be studied by means of graph matrices extended to signed graphs in a natural way. Recently, the spectra of signed graphs have attracted much…

A small oriented cycle double cover (SOCDC)} of a bridgeless graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is a collection of at most $n-1$ directed cycles of the symmetric orientation, $G_s$, of $G$ such that each edge of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the…
