We study the number of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles one can guarantee in a sufficiently large graph G on n vertices with minimum degree d = (1/2+a)n. For any constant a > 0, we give an optimal answer in the following sense: let…

Let $G$ be a connected $d$-regular graph of order $n$, where $d\geq3$. Let $\lambda_{2}(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. For even $n$, we show that $G$ contains $\left\lfloor\frac{2}{3}(d-\lambda_{2}(G))\right\rfloor$…

We associate to every graph a linear program for packings of vertex disjoint paths. We show that the optimal primal and dual values of the corresponding integer program are the binomial grade and height of the binomial edge ideal of the…

In 1999, De Simone and K\"{o}rner conjectured that every graph without induced $C_5,C_7,\overline{C}_7$ contains a clique cover $\mathcal C$ and a stable set cover $\mathcal I$ such that every clique in $\mathcal C$ and every stable set in…

Asymptotic properties of random regular graphs are object of extensive study in mathematics. In this note we argue, based on theory of spin glasses, that in random regular graphs the maximum cut size asymptotically equals the number of…

Let $r \ge 3$ be fixed and $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. A long-standing conjecture of Gy\H{o}ri states that if $e(G) = t_{r-1}(n) + k$, where $t_{r-1}(n)$ denotes the number of edges of the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices and $r - 1$ parts,…

The regularity of an edge ideal of a finite simple graph $G$ is at least the induced matching number of $G$ and is at most the minimum matching number of $G$. If $G$ possesses a dominating inuduced matching, i.e., an induced matching which…

This research focuses on analyzing the depth of generalized binomial edge ideals. We extend the notion of $d$-compatible map for the pairs of a complete graph and an arbitrary graph, and using it, we give a combinatorial lower bound for the…
