We consider relations between the size, treewidth, and local crossing number (maximum number of crossings per edge) of graphs embedded on topological surfaces. We show that an $n$-vertex graph embedded on a surface of genus $g$ with at most…

Many extremal problems for graphs have threshold graphs as their extremal examples. For instance the current authors proved that for fixed $k\ge 1$, among all graphs on $n$ vertices with $m$ edges, some threshold graph has the fewest…

Locating-dominating codes have been studied widely since their introduction in the 1980s by Slater and Rall. In this paper, we concentrate on vertices that must belong to all minimum locating-dominating codes in a graph. We call them…

We introduce the concept of link-irregular labelings for graphs, extending the notion of link-irregular graphs through edge labeling with positive integers. A labeling is link-irregular if every vertex has a uniquely labeled subgraph…

Let $n, r, k$ be positive integers such that $3\leq k < n$ and $2\leq r \leq k-1$. Let $m(n, r, k)$ denote the maximum number of edges an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices can have under the condition that any collection of $i$ edges,…

We consider the problem of detecting a community of densely connected vertices in a high-dimensional bipartite graph of size $n_1 \times n_2$. Under the null hypothesis, the observed graph is drawn from a bipartite Erd\H{o}s-Renyi…

This article settles Problem 7.2 posed by [Banerjee, Special Matrices (2022)] for the induced subgraph $G_2$ of the comaximal graph $\Gamma(\mathbb Z_n)$ when $n$ is squarefree. Let $n=p_1p_2\cdots p_m$ with distinct primes…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph without loops and multiple edges on $v\ge 4$ vertices, which can be drawn on the plane such that any edge intersects at most one other edge. We prove that such graph has at most $3v-8$ edges for even $v\ne 6$…

We consider the following feasibility problem: given an integer $n \geq 1$ and an integer $m$ such that $0 \leq m \leq \binom{n}{2}$, does there exist a line graph $L = L(G)$ with exactly $n$ vertices and $m$ edges ? We say that a pair…

We prove that every graph with $n$ vertices and at least $5n-8$ edges contains the Petersen graph as a minor, and this bound is best possible. Moreover we characterise all Petersen-minor-free graphs with at least $5n-11$ edges. It follows…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set such that the two resulting parts differ in size by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges that connect vertices in the two parts. The perfect matching condition and…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k< n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph is minimal if for every edge, the deletion of…

Recently Cutler and Radcliffe proved that the graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $r$ having the most cliques is a disjoint union of $\lfloor n/(r+1)\rfloor$ cliques of size $r+1$ together with a clique on the remainder of the…

The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…

A graph is said to be edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its edges. It is known that edge-transitive graphs are either vertex-transitive or bipartite. In this paper we present a complete classification of all…

We determine the vertex-minor Ramsey number $\Rvm(4)=11$, where $\Rvm(k)$ is the smallest~$n$ such that every $n$-vertex graph contains the edgeless graph~$E_k$ as a vertex-minor. We prove this by an exhaustive classification of the graphs…

A graph $ G $ is minimally $ t $-tough if the toughness of $ G $ is $ t $ and deletion of any edge from $ G $ decreases its toughness. Katona et al. conjectured that the minimum degree of any minimally $ t $-tough graph is $ \lceil 2t\rceil…
