We show that the class of groups with $k$-multiple context-free word problem is closed under graphs of groups with finite edge groups.

In this paper, we deal with a notion of Banach space-valued mappings defined on a set consisting of finite graphs with uniformly bounded vertex degree. These functions will be endowed with certain boundedness and additivity criteria. We…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\Delta(G)$ be the prime graph built on the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$: this is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the prime numbers dividing some conjugacy class size of $G$, two…

Let $G$ be a finite $\pi$-separable group, where $\pi$ is a set of primes, and let $\chi$ be an irreducible complex character that is a $\pi$-lift of some $\pi$-partial character of $G$.It was proved by Cossey and Lewis that all of the…

Let $\omega(G)$ and $\chi(G)$ denote the clique number and chromatic number of a graph $G$, respectively. The {\em disjointness graph} of a family of curves (continuous arcs in the plane) is the graph whose vertices correspond to the curves…

O and Shi proved that the Randi\'c index of any graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $\delta$ and maximum degree at most $\Delta$ is at least $\frac{\sqrt{\delta\Delta}}{\delta+\Delta}|G|$, with equality if and only if the graph is…

A widely believed conjecture predicts that curves of bounded geometric genus lying on a variety of general type form a bounded family. One may even ask whether the canonical degree of a curve $C$ in a variety of general type is bounded from…

For a positive integer $k$, a graph is $k$-knitted if for each $k$-subset $S$ of vertices, and every partition of $S$ into disjoint parts $S_1, \ldots, S_t$ for some $t\ge 1$, one can find disjoint connected subgraphs $C_1, \ldots, C_t$…

A connected graph $G$ with at least two vertices is matching covered if each of its edges lies in a perfect matching. A matching covered graph is minimal if the removal of any edge results in a graph that is no longer matching covered. An…

We prove that $K_{\chi(G)}$ is the only critical graph $G$ with $\chi(G) \geq \Delta(G) \geq 6$ and $\omega(\mathcal{H}(G)) \leq \left \lfloor \frac{\Delta(G)}{2} \right \rfloor - 2$. Here $\mathcal{H}(G)$ is the subgraph of $G$ induced on…

We prove an analog of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem in the plane for definable curves and points in any o-minimal structure over an arbitrary real closed field $\mathrm{R}$. One new ingredient in the proof is an extension of the well…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on a vertex set $V(G)=\{x_{11}, \ldots, x_{n1}\}$. Also let $m_1, \ldots,m_n \geq 2$ be integers and $G_1, \ldots, G_n$ be connected simple graphs on the vertex sets $V(G_i)=\{x_{i1}, \ldots, x_{im_i}\}$. In…

It is well-known that a complete Riemannian manifold M which is locally isometric to a symmetric space is covered by a symmetric space. Here we prove that a discrete version of this property (called local to global rigidity) holds for a…

We study optimal minimum degree conditions when an $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains an $r$-regular $r$-connected subgraph. We prove for $r$ fixed and $n$ large the condition to be $\delta(G) \ge \frac{n+r-2}{2}$ when $nr \equiv 0 \pmod 2$.…

The union vertex-distinguishing chromatic index $\chi'_\cup(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest natural number $k$ such that the edges of $G$ can be assigned nonempty subsets of $[k]$ so that the union of the subsets assigned to the edges…

It is known that every proper minor-closed class of graphs has bounded stack-number (a.k.a. book thickness and page number). While this includes notable graph families such as planar graphs and graphs of bounded genus, many other graph…

A graph is $k$-vertex-critical if $\chi(G)=k$ but $\chi(G-v)<k$ for all $v\in V(G)$. We construct a new infinite families of $k$-vertex-critical $(P_5,C_5)$-free graphs for all $k\ge 6$. Our construction generalizes known constructions for…

A graph is said to be globally rigid if almost all embeddings of the graph's vertices in the Euclidean plane will define a system of edge-length equations with a unique (up to isometry) solution. In 2007, Jackson, Servatius and Servatius…

A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. We establish tight lower bounds on the maximum size of a uniquely restricted matching in terms of order, size, and maximum degree.

In this paper, we classify all the finite groups $G$ such that the commuting graph $\Gamma_C(G)$, order-sum graph $\Gamma_{OS}(G)$ and non-inverse graph $\Gamma_{NI}(G)$ are minimally edge connected graphs. We also classify all the finite…
