Let C(G) denote the set of lengths of cycles in a graph G. In the first part of this paper, we study the minimum possible value of |C(G)| over all graphs G of average degree d and girth g. Erdos conjectured that |C(G)| =\Omega(d^{\lfloor…

We prove properties of extremal graphs of girth 5 and order 20 <=v <= 32. In each case we identify the possible minimum and maximum degrees, and in some cases prove the existence of (non-trivial) embedded stars. These proofs allow for…

An Euler tour of a hypergraph is a closed walk that traverses every edge exactly once; if a hypergraph admits such a walk, then it is called eulerian. Although this notion is one of the progenitors of graph theory --- dating back to the…

A vertex with neighbours of degrees $d_1 \geq ... \geq d_r$ has {\em vertex type} $(d_1, ..., d_r)$. A graph is {\em vertex-oblique} if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and…

A nut graph is a simple graph whose adjacency matrix is singular with $1$-dimensional kernel such that the corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. In 2020, Fowler et al. characterised for each $d \in \{3,4,\ldots,11\}$ all values $n$…

A 2018 conjecture of Brewster, McGuinness, Moore, and Noel asserts that for $k \ge 3$, if a graph has chromatic number greater than $k$, then it contains at least as many cycles of length $0 \bmod k$ as the complete graph on $k+1$ vertices.…

A graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$ is supereulerian if it has a spanning Eulerian subgraph. Let $\ell(G)$ be the maximum number of edges of spanning Eulerian subgraphs of a supereulerian graph $G$. In $1996$, Catlin conjectured that if $G$ is a…

We prove that constant minimum degree already forces cycles with almost linearly many chords. Specifically, every graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\ge C$ contains a cycle of length $\ell\ge 4$ with $\Omega(\ell/\log^{C}\ell)$ chords for some…

Substantial efforts have been made to compute or estimate the minimum number $c(G)$ of cycles needed to partition the edges of an Eulerian graph. We give an equivalent characterization of Eulerian graphs of treewidth $2$ and with maximum…

An $n$-vertex graph is degree 3-critical if it has $2n - 2$ edges and no proper induced subgraph with minimum degree at least 3. In 1988, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Gy\'arf\'as, and Schelp asked whether one can always find cycles of all short…

We prove that an inseparable graph can have any positive number of cycles with the six exceptions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 16, and that an inseparable cubic graph has the additional exceptions 1 and 13. The exceptions for simple inseparable cubic…

Bollob\'as proved that for every $k$ and $\ell$ such that $k\mathbb{Z}+\ell$ contains an even number, an $n$-vertex graph containing no cycle of length $\ell \bmod k$ can contain at most a linear number of edges. The precise (or asymptotic)…

Burr and Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1976 that for every two integers $k>\ell\geqslant 0$ satisfying that $k\mathbb{Z}+\ell$ contains an even integer, an $n$-vertex graph containing no cycles of length $\ell$ modulo $k$ can contain at most a…

Dean conjectured that for each integer $k \ge 3$, every graph with minimum degree at least $k$ has a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$; this conjecture is known to be true for all $k\neq 5$. For $k\in\{3,4\}$, stronger statements are…
