We investigate the group irregularity strength ($s_g(G)$) of graphs, i.e. the smallest value of $s$ such that taking any Abelian group $\gr$ of order $s$, there exists a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \gr$ such that the sums of edge labels at…

For an arbitrary invariant $\rho (G)$ of a graph $G$, the $\rho-$vertex stability number $vs_{\rho}(G)$ is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ whose removal results in a graph $H\subseteq G$ with $\rho (H)\neq \rho (G)$ or with…

The classical Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Theorem states that for $\ell\ge 2$, every $n$-vertex $K_{\ell+1}$-free graph with minimum degree greater than $\frac{3\ell-4}{3\ell-1}n$ must be $\ell$-partite. We establish a simple…

Given a graph $G$, we say a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on the same vertex set contains a Berge-$G$ if there exists an injection $\phi:E(G)\to E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq\phi(e)$ for each edge $e\in E(G)$. A hypergraph $H$ is…

We consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi evolution of random graphs, where a new uniformly distributed edge is added to the graph in every step. For every fixed $d\ge 1$, we show that with high probability, the graph becomes rigid in $\mathbb R^d$…

Let $n, d$ be integers with $1 \leq d \leq \left \lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \right \rfloor$, and set $h(n,d):={n-d \choose 2} + d^2$. Erd\H{o}s proved that when $n \geq 6d$, each nonhamiltonian graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree…

The chromatic edge stability index $\mathrm{es}_{\chi'}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a graph with smaller chromatic index. We give best-possible upper bounds on $\mathrm{es}_{\chi'}(G)$ in terms…

Let $Q_d$ denote the hypercube of dimension $d$. Given $d\geq m$, a spanning subgraph $G$ of $Q_d$ is said to be $(Q_d,Q_m)$-saturated if it does not contain $Q_m$ as a subgraph but adding any edge of $E(Q_d)\setminus E(G)$ creates a copy…

We investigate how the graph topology influences the robustness to noise in undirected linear consensus networks. We measure the structural robustness by using the smallest possible value of steady state population variance of states under…

We study $k$-star decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set into disjoint stars with $k$ edges, in the uniformly random $d$-regular graph model $\mathcal{G}_{n,d}$. Using the small subgraph conditioning method, we prove an…

The Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem states that every graph of average degree more than $l-2$ contains a path of order $l$ for $l\ge 2$. In this paper, we obtain a stability version of the Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem in terms of minimum degree. Let…

Weak and strong coloring numbers are generalizations of the degeneracy of a graph, where for each natural number $k$, we seek a vertex ordering such every vertex can (weakly respectively strongly) reach in $k$ steps only few vertices with…

A graph $G$ percolates in the $K_{r,s}$-bootstrap process if we can add all missing edges of $G$ in some order such that each edge creates a new copy of $K_{r,s}$, where $K_{r,s}$ is the complete bipartite graph. We study…
