We describe a family of graphs with queue-number at most 4 but unbounded stack-number. This resolves open problems of Heath, Leighton and Rosenberg (1992) and Blankenship and Oporowski (1999).
We consider classes of graphs, which we call thick graphs, that have the vertices of a corresponding thin graph replaced by cliques and the edges replaced by cobipartite graphs In particular, we consider the case of thick forests, which we…
A family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is called 3-wise intersecting if any three members in the family have non-empty intersection. We determine the maximum size of such families exactly or asymptotically. One of our results…
We present evidence in support of a conjecture that a bipartite graph with at least five vertices in each part and |E(G)| \geq 4 |V(G)| - 17 is intrinsically knotted. We prove the conjecture for graphs that have exactly five or exactly six…
An independent set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of pairwise non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ of independent sets in $G$ is called a $k$-independence covering family if for every independent set $I$ in $G$ of size at most…
The stability number of a graph G is the cardinality of a stability system of G (that is of a stable set of maximum size of G). A graph is alpha-stable if its stability number remains the same upon both the deletion and the addition of any…
We consider problems of finding a maximum size/weight $t$-matching without forbidden subgraphs in an undirected graph $G$ with the maximum degree bounded by $t+1$, where $t$ is an integer greater than $2$. Depending on the variant forbidden…
We describe an infinite family of graphs $G_n$, where $G_n$ has $n$ vertices, independence number at least $n/4$, and no set of less than $\sqrt{n}/2$ vertices intersects all its maximum independent sets. This is motivated by a question of…
In 2019, Perondi and Carmelo determined the set multipartite Ramsey number of particular complete bipartite graphs by establishing a relationship between the set multipartite Ramsey number, Hadamard matrices, and strongly regular graphs,…
We investigate the following generalisation of the 'multiplication table problem' of Erd\H{o}s: given a bipartite graph with $m$ edges, how large is the set of sizes of its induced subgraphs? Erd\H{o}s's problem of estimating the number of…
The stability number of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is the cardinality of a stable set of maximum size in G. A graph is well-covered if every maximal stable set has the same size. G is a Koenig-Egervary graph if its order equals…
The widely studied edge modification problems ask how to minimally alter a graph to satisfy certain structural properties. In this paper, we introduce and study a new edge modification problem centered around transforming a given graph into…
A graph $G$ is \textit{asymmetric} if its automorphism group of vertices is trivial. Asymmetric graphs were introduced by Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi in 1963. They showed that the probability of a graph on $n$ vertices being asymmetric tends to…
We introduce a new subclass of chordal graphs that generalizes split graphs, which we call well-partitioned chordal graphs. Split graphs are graphs that admit a partition of the vertex set into cliques that can be arranged in a star…
Simple drawings are drawings of graphs in which any two edges intersect at most once (either at a common endpoint or a proper crossing), and no edge intersects itself. We analyze several characteristics of simple drawings of complete…
We define the family of Maya-Tupi graphs as those graphs that admit a partition $(A,B)$ of their vertex sets such that $A$ induces a complete multipartite graph where each part has size at most two, and $B$ induces a graph where every…
We study connected graphs with a fixed degree sequence, in the sparse setting where the number of edges grows linearly in the number of vertices. Using the relation to the configuration model, we identify the number of such connected graphs…
In the first part of this paper we determine the maximum size of a (finite, simple, connected) bipartite graph of given order, diameter $d$, and connectivity $\kappa$. It was shown by Ali, Mazorodze, Mukwembi and Vetr\'ik [On size, order,…
Two sets $X, Y$ of vertices in a graph $G$ are "anticomplete" if $X\cap Y=\varnothing$ and there is no edge in $G$ with an end in $X$ and an end in $Y$. We prove that every graph $G$ of sufficiently large treewidth contains two anticomplete…
We construct an infinite family of 6-regular graphs $\{G_n\}_{n\ge 3}$ by taking $n$ copies of the Petersen graph and wiring corresponding vertices according to an $n$-cycle permutation. Each $G_n$ has $10n$ vertices, $30n$ edges, and…
