A graph $X$ is said to be "unstable" if the direct product $X \times K_2$ (also called the canonical double cover of $X$) has automorphisms that do not come from automorphisms of its factors $X$ and $K_2$. It is "nontrivially unstable" if…

We call an oriented odd cycle alternating if it has exactly one vertex whose in-degree and out-degree are both positive. In this paper, we investigate whether certain graphs admit an orientation that avoids alternating odd cycles as…

A $3$-uniform loose cycle, denoted by $C_t$, is a $3$-graph on $t$ vertices whose vertices can be arranged cyclically so that each hyperedge consists of three consecutive vertices, and any two consecutive hyperedges share exactly one…

Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter based on the repeated contraction of near-twins. It has shown remarkable utility in algorithmic and structural graph theory, as well as in finite model theory -- particularly since…

We study two extremal problems about subgraphs excluding a family $\F$ of graphs. i) Among all graphs with $m$ edges, what is the smallest size $f(m,\F)$ of a largest $\F$--free subgraph? ii) Among all graphs with minimum degree $\delta$…

Let $G$ be a planar graph with no two 3-cycles sharing an edge. We show that if $\Delta(G)\geq 9$, then $\chi'_l(G) = \Delta(G)$ and $\chi''_l(G)=\Delta(G)+1.$ We also show that if $\Delta(G)\geq 6$, then $\chi'_l(G)\leq\Delta(G)+1$ and if…

Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on…

A simple graph G is k-ordered (respectively, k-ordered hamiltonian) if, for any sequence of k distinct vertices v_1, ..., v_k of G, there exists a cycle (respectively, a hamiltonian cycle) in G containing these k vertices in the specified…

An odd graceful labeling of a graph G=(V,E) is a function f:V(G)->[0,1,2,...,2|E(G)|-1} such that |f(u)-f(v)| is odd value less than or equal to 2|E(G)-1| for any u, v in V(G). In spite of the large number of papers published on the subject…

A graph with $v$ vertices is $(r)$-pancyclic if it contains precisely $r$ cycles of every length from 3 to $v$. A bipartite graph with even number of vertices $v$ is said to be $(r)$-bipancyclic if it contains precisely $r$ cycles of each…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, let $q(A)$ be the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$. If $G$ is a connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A=[a_{ij}]$ such that for…

Erd\"os conjectured that if $G$ is a triangle free graph of chromatic number at least $k\geq 3$, then it contains an odd cycle of length at least $k^{2-o(1)}$ \cite{sudakovverstraete, verstraete}. Nothing better than a linear bound…

A simple undirected graph is said to be {\em semisymmetric} if it is regular and edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. Every semisymmetric graph is a bipartite graph with two parts of equal size. It was proved in [{\em J. Combin.…

Let $k_r(n,\delta)$ be the minimum number of $r$-cliques in graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta$. We evaluate $k_r(n,\delta)$ for $\delta \leq 4n/5$ and some other cases. Moreover, we give a construction, which we conjecture…

A solution to a problem of Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable, and $c/d > a/b$, then $G$ is not necessarily $(c:d)$-choosable. The simplest case of another problem, stated by the same…

This paper explains the periodicity of the Grover walk on finite graphs. We characterize the graphs to induce 2, 3, 4, 5-periodic Grover walk and obtain a necessary condition of the graphs to induce an odd-periodic Grover walk.
