The distinguishing index of a simple graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of $G$ not preserved by any non-trivial automorphism. It was conjectured by Pil\'sniak (2015) that for any 2-connected…

For a graph $G$, let $\lambda_2(G)$ denote its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue. It was conjectured that $\lambda_2(G) + \lambda_2(\overline G) \ge 1$, where $\overline G$ is the complement of $G$. In this paper, it is shown that…

The logical depth of a graph $G$ is the minimum quantifier depth of a first order sentence defining $G$ up to isomorphism in the language of the adjacency and the equality relations. We consider the case that $G$ is a dissection of a convex…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $u$, $v$, and $w$ be vertices of $G$. If the distance between $u$ and $w$ does not equal the distance between $v$ and $w$, then $w$ is said to resolve $u$ and $v$. The metric dimension of $G$, denoted $\beta(G)$,…

The size of the smallest $k$-regular graph of girth at least $g$ is denoted by the well-studied function $n(k,g)$. We introduce an analogous function $n(H,g)$, defined as the smallest size graph of girth at least $g$ that is a lift (or…

An additive hereditary graph property is a set of graphs, closed under isomorphism and under taking subgraphs and disjoint unions. Let ${\cal P}_1, >..., {\cal P}_n$ be additive hereditary graph properties. A graph $G$ has property $({\cal…

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E' of E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by…

In this paper a relationship is established between the domination game and minimal edge cuts. It is proved that the game domination number of a connected graph can be bounded above in terms of the size of minimal edge cuts. In particular,…

A graph $H$ is an induced minor of a graph $G$ if $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by vertex deletions and edge contractions. We show that there is a function $f(k, d) = O(k^{10} + 2^{d^5})$ so that if a graph has treewidth at least $f(k, d)$…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{K}_G$ be the set of all cliques of $G$, then the clique graph of G denoted by $K(G)$ is the graph with vertex set $\mathcal{K}_G$ and two elements $Q_i,Q_j \in \mathcal{K}_G$ form an edge if and only if $Q_i…

The \emph{metric dimension} of a graph $G$, denoted by $\dim(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its distances to the chosen vertices. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$…

The metric dimension of a graph is the smallest number of nodes required to identify all other nodes based on shortest path distances uniquely. Applications of metric dimension include discovering the source of a spread in a network,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A connected edge cover of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq E$ such that every vertex of $G$ is incident with at least one edge in $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is connected. The connected edge…

In this paper we characterize the unique graph whose algebraic connectivity is minimum among all connected graphs with given order and fixed matching number or edge covering number, and present two lower bounds for the algebraic…

The foldings of a connected graph $G$ are defined as follows. First, $G$ is a folding of itself. Let $G'$ be a graph obtained from $G$ by identifying two vertices at distance 2 in $G$. Then every folding of $G'$ is a folding of $G$. The…

A transitive graph is 2-dimensional if it can be represented as the intersection of two linear orders. Such representations make answering of reachability queries trivial, and allow many problems that are NP-hard on arbitrary graphs to be…

We prove that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with no isolated vertices contains an induced subgraph of size at least $n/10000$ with all degrees odd. This solves an old and well-known conjecture in graph theory.

An {\it additive labeling} of a graph $G$ is a function $ \ell :V(G) \rightarrow\mathbb{N}$, such that for every two adjacent vertices $ v $ and $ u$ of $ G $, $ \sum_{w \sim v}\ell(w)\neq \sum_{w \sim u}\ell(w) $ ($ x \sim y $ means that $…

In the last decade, algorithmic frameworks based on a structural graph parameter called mim-width have been developed to solve generally NP-hard problems. However, it is known that the frameworks cannot be applied to the Clique problem, and…

The boxicity of a graph is the smallest dimension $d$ allowing a representation of it as the intersection graph of a set of $d$-dimensional axis-parallel boxes. We present a simple general approach to determining the boxicity of a graph…
