In $2011$, Herzog, Hibi, and Ohsugi conjectured that if $J$ is the cover ideal of a chordal graph, then $J^s$ is componentwise linear for all $s \ge 1.$ In 2022, H\`a and Tuyl considered objects more general than chordal graphs and posed…
In 1999 Herzog and Hibi introduced componentwise linear ideals. A homogeneous ideal $I$ is componentwise linear if for all non-negative integers $d$, the ideal generated by the homogeneous elements of degree $d$ in $I$ has a linear…
Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $J(G)$ denote its vertex cover ideal in a polynomial ring over a field. % $\mathbb{K}$. The $k$-th symbolic power of $J(G)$ is denoted by $J(G)^{(k)}$. In this paper, we give a criteria for cover ideals…
An ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ is said to be of linear type when its Rees algebra and symmetric algebra exhibit isomorphism. In this paper, we investigate the conjecture put forth by Jayanthan, Kumar, and Sarkar (2021) that if $G$…
In this paper, we study the componentwise linearity of symbolic powers of edge ideals. We propose the conjecture that all symbolic powers of the edge ideal of a cochordal graph are componentwise linear. This conjecture is verified for some…
Wu, Zhang and Li [4] conjectured that the set of vertices of any simple graph $G$ can be equitably partitioned into $\lceil(\Delta(G)+1)/2\rceil$ subsets so that each of them induces a forest of $G$. In this note, we prove this conjecture…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…
Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph on $n$ vertices. Francisco and Van Tuyl have shown that if $G$ is chordal, then $\bigcap_{\{x_i,x_j\}\in E_G} < x_i,x_j>$ is componentwise linear. A natural question that arises is for which $t_{ij}>1$…
For a simple graph $G$, assume that $J(G)$ is the vertex cover ideal of $G$ and $J(G)^{(s)}$ is the $s$-th symbolic power of $J(G)$. We prove that $(J(C)^{(s)})=(J(C)^s)$ for all $s\geq 1$ and for all odd cycle $C$. For a simplicial complex…
A graph G is perfect if for every induced subgraph H, the chromatic number of H equals the size of the largest complete subgraph of H, and G is Berge if no induced subgraph of G is an odd cycle of length at least 5 or the complement of one.…
A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A, B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. It is easy…
Let $G$ be a graph consisting of $s$ odd cycles that all share a common vertex. Bhaskara, Higashitani, and Shibu Deepthi recently computed the $h$-polynomial for the quotient ring $R/I_G$, where $I_G$ is the toric ideal of $G$, in terms of…
Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the…
Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $J(G)$ denote its cover ideal in a polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper, we show that all symbolic powers of cover ideals of certain vertex decomposable graphs have linear quotients.…

Let $G_1$ be a planar graph such that all cycles of length at most 4 are independent and let $G_2$ be a planar graph without 3-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles. It is proved that the set of vertices of $G_1$ and $G_2$ can be equitably…
Kontsevich conjectured that the number f(G,q) of zeros over the finite field with q elements of a certain polynomial connected with the spanning trees of a graph G is polynomial function of q. We have been unable to settle Kontsevich's…
Loebl, Koml\'os and S\'os conjectured that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $n/2$ vertices of degree at least $k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k+1$ as a subgraph. We give a sketch of a proof of the approximate version of this…
The linear arboricity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\text{la}(G)$, is the minimum number of edge-disjoint linear forests (i.e. forests in which every connected component is a path) in $G$ whose union covers all the edges of $G$. A famous…
We call a tree $T$ is \emph{even} if every pair of its leaves is joined by a path of even length. Jackson and Yoshimoto~[J. Graph Theory, 2024] conjectured that every $r$-regular nonbipartite connected graph $G$ has a spanning even tree.…
