A $k$-weak bisection of a cubic graph $G$ is a partition of the vertex-set of $G$ into two parts $V_1$ and $V_2$ of equal size, such that each connected component of the subgraph of $G$ induced by $V_i$ ($i=1,2$) is a tree of at most $k-2$…

A pure pair in a graph $G$ is a pair $A,B$ of disjoint subsets of $V(G)$ such that $A$ is complete or anticomplete to $B$. Jacob Fox showed that for all $\epsilon>0$, there is a comparability graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, where $n$ is large,…

A maximum stable set in a graph G is a stable set of maximum size. S is a local maximum stable set if it is a maximum stable set of the subgraph of G spanned by the union of S and N(S), where N(S) is the neighborhood of S. A matching M is…

A bipartite graph is called bipancyclic if it contains cycles of every even length from four up to the number of vertices in the graph. A theorem of Schmeichel and Mitchem states that for $n \geq 4$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that, for all bipartite graphs $H$, quasirandom graphs contain asymptotically the minimum number of copies of $H$ taken over all graphs with the same order and edge density. While still open for graphs, the…

Motivated by the problem in [6], which studies the relative efficiency of propositional proof systems, 2-edge colorings of complete bipartite graphs are investigated. It is shown that if the edges of $G=K_{n,n}$ are colored with black and…

Fix $\varepsilon >0$ and consider a multipartite graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $(1-\varepsilon)n$, parts $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ of the same size $n$, and where every vertex has at most $o(n)$ neighbors in any part $V_i$. Loh and Sudakov…

The problems of maximizing the spectral radius and the number of spanning trees in a class of bipartite graphs with certain degree constraints are considered. In both the problems, the optimal graph is conjectured to be a Ferrers graph.…

Given two non-empty graphs $H$ and $T$, write $H\succcurlyeq T$ to mean that $t(H,G)^{|E(T)|}\geq t(T,G)^{|E(H)|}$ for every graph $G$, where $t(\cdot,\cdot)$ is the homomorphism density function. We obtain various necessary and sufficient…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent if they differ by a single vertex and the two…

Fix k>0, and let G be a graph, with vertex set partitioned into k subsets (`blocks') of approximately equal size. An induced subgraph of G is transversal (with respect to this partition) if it has exactly one vertex in each block (and…

Let red and blue points be distributed on $\mathbb{R}$ according to two independent Poisson processes $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ and let each red (blue) point independently be equipped with a random number of half-edges according to a…

A set of edges $T$ in a graph $G$ is triangle-independent if $T$ contains at most one edge from each triangle in $G$. Let $\alpha_1(G)$ denote the maximum size of the triangle-independent set in $G$, and let $\tau_B(G)$ denote minimum size…

A classical result of Robertson and Seymour states that the set of graphs containing a fixed planar graph $H$ as a minor has the so-called Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property; namely, there exists a function $f$ depending only on $H$ such that, for…

A bipartite graph is {\em pseudo 2--factor isomorphic} if all its 2--factors have the same parity of number of circuits. In \cite{ADJLS} we proved that the only essentially 4--edge-connected pseudo 2--factor isomorphic cubic bipartite graph…

In this paper we consider bi-Cohen-Macaulay graphs, and give a complete classification of such graphs in the case they are bipartite or chordal. General bi-Cohen-Macaulay graphs are classified up to separation. The inseparable…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and its adjacency matrix $\mathbb A$. If $G$ has a unique perfect matching, then $\mathbb A$ has an inverse $\mathbb A^{-1}$ which is a symmetric integral matrix, and hence the adjacency matrix of a multigraph.…

In this paper, we investigate odd graceful graph, odd strongly harmonious graph, bipartite graph and their relationship. We proved following results: (1) if G is odd strongly harmonious graph, then G is odd graceful graph ;(2) if G is…

An \emph{equitable $(q, r)$-tree-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a $q$-coloring of $G$ such that the subgraph induced by each color class is a forest of maximum degree at most $r$ and the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most $1.$…

Given a bipartite graph $H$ and a natural number $s$, let $\mathrm{ex}^*(n,H,s)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that contains neither $K_{s,s}$ nor an induced copy of $H$. Hunter, Milojevi\'c, Sudakov, and Tomon…
