A regular cover of a connected graph is called {\em cyclic} or {\em dihedral} if its transformation group is cyclic or dihedral respectively, and {\em arc-transitive} (or {\em symmetric}) if the fibre-preserving automorphism subgroup acts…
For a graph with edge ordering, a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of vertices by considering the edges as transpositions of endvertices. It is known from D\'enes' results that the permutation of a tree is a full cyclic…
The family of cycle completable graphs has several cryptomorphic descriptions, the equivalence of which has heretofore been proven by a laborious implication-cycle that detours through a motivating matrix completion problem. We give a…
We introduce the ``trivariate Tutte polynomial" of a signed graph as an invariant of signed graphs up to vertex switching that contains among its evaluations the number of proper colorings and the number of nowhere-zero flows. In this, it…
Given a graph $G$ with only even degrees let $\varepsilon(G)$ denote the number of Eulerian orientations, and let $h(G)$ denote the number of half graphs, that is, subgraphs $F$ such that $d_F(v)=d_G(v)/2$ for each vertex $v$. Recently,…
In this paper, a proof of the cycle double cover conjecture is presented. The cycle double cover conjecture purports that if a graph is bridgeless, then there exists a list of cycles in the graph such that every edge in the graph appears in…
A signed graph $\Sigma = (G, \sigma)$ is a graph where the function $\sigma$ assigns either $1$ or $-1$ to each edge of the simple graph $G$. The adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$, denoted by $A(\Sigma)$, is defined canonically. In a recent…
In this paper we introduce the nullity of signed graphs, and give some results on the nullity of signed graphs with pendant trees. We characterize the unicyclic signed graphs of order n with nullity n-2; n-3; n-4; n-5 respectively.
We extend the theory of circular game chromatic numbers to signed graphs by defining the invariant $\chi_c^g(G,\sigma)$ for signed graphs $(G,\sigma)$. Our analysis establishes tight bounds dependent on the structural properties of the…
A proof labelling scheme for a graph class $\mathcal{C}$ is an assignment of certificates to the vertices of any graph in the class $\mathcal{C}$, such that upon reading its certificate and the certificates of its neighbors, every vertex…
The isotropic matroid $M[IAS(G)]$ of a looped simple graph $G$ is a binary matroid equivalent to the isotropic system of $G$. In general, $M[IAS(G)]$ is not regular, so it cannot be represented over fields of characteristic $\neq 2$. The…
Let $ G=(V,E) $ be a simple graph of order $ n $ and size $ m $. A connected edge cover set of a graph is a subset $S$ of edges such that every vertex of the graph is incident to at least one edge of $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is…
Given a graph $G$, the non-cover complex of $G$ is the combinatorial Alexander dual of the independence complex of $G$. Aharoni asked if the non-cover complex of a graph $G$ without isolated vertices is $(|V(G)|-i \gamma(G)-1)$-collapsible…
Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity. The unit graph (unitary Cayley graph) of $R$ is the graph with vertex set $R$, where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent exactly whenever $x+y$ is a unit in $R$ ($x-y$ is a unit in $R$).…
An {\em odd subgraph} of a graph is a subgraph in which every vertex has odd degree. A graph $G$ is said to be {\em odd $k$-edge-colorable} if there exists an edge-coloring $E(G) \rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots, k\}$ such that each non-empty…
We prove that the family of graphs containing no cycle with exactly $k$-chords is $\chi$-bounded, for $k$ large enough or of form $\ell(\ell-2)$ with $\ell \ge 3$ an integer. This verifies (up to a finite number of values $k$) a conjecture…
We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs. A signed graph is an undirected graph where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative. An important concept for signed graphs is the operation of switching at a vertex, which is to…
A (1,{\lambda})-embedded graph is a graph that can be embedded on a surface with Euler characteristic {\lambda} so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. A graph G is called {\alpha}-linear if there exists an integral constant…
A graph with a semiregular group of automorphisms can be thought of as the derived cover arising from a voltage graph. Since its inception, the theory of voltage graphs and their derived covers has been a powerful tool used in the study of…
A balanced graph is a bipartite graph with no induced circuit of length 2 mod 4. These graphs arise in linear programming. We focus on graph-algebraic properties of balanced graphs to prove a complete classification of balanced Cayley…
