A subgraph $H$ of an edge-colored graph $G$ is rainbow if all the edges of $H$ receive different colors. If $G$ does not contain a rainbow subgraph isomorphic to $H$, we say that $G$ is rainbow $H$-free. For connected graphs $H_1$ and…

Call a colouring of a graph \emph{distinguishing} if the only automorphism of this graph which preserves said colouring is the identity. Let $H$ be an arbitrary graph. We say that a graph $G$ is \emph{$H$-free} if $G$ does not contain an…

Let us call a simple graph on $n\geq 2$ vertices a prime gap graph if its vertex degrees are $1$ and the first $n-1$ prime gaps. We show that such a graph exists for every large $n$, and in fact for every $n\geq 2$ if we assume the Riemann…

A spanning subgraph $F$ of $G$ is called a path factor if every component of $F$ is a path of order at least 2. Let $k\geq2$ be an integer. A $P_{\geq k}$-factor of $G$ means a path factor in which every component has at least $k$ vertices.…

The degree sequence of a graph is the sequence of the degrees of its vertices. If $\pi$ is a degree sequence of a graph $G$, then $G$ is a realization of $\pi$ and $G$ realizes $\pi$. Determining when a sequence of positive integers is…

The generalized Ramsey number $R(H, K)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for any graph $G$ with $n$ vertices either $G$ contains $H$ as a subgraph or its complement $\overline{G}$ contains $K$ as a subgraph. Let $T_n$ be a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\varphi(G)=|\{a\in G \mid o(a)=\exp(G)\}|$, where $o(a)$ denotes the order of $a$ in $G$ and $\exp(G)$ denotes the exponent of $G$. Under a natural hypothesis, in this note we determine the groups $G$ such…

In this paper, basing on the linear algebra methods and elementary techniques, for any positive integers $ e $ and $ n $, we obtain a recursion formula for the generalized Euler function $ \varphi_e(n) $, which is determined by some…

For graphs $F_n$ and $G_n$ of order $n$, if $R(F_n, G_n)=(\chi(G_n)-1)(n-1)+\sigma(G_n)$, then $F_n$ is said to be $G_n$-good, where $\sigma(G_n)$ is the minimum size of a color class among all proper vertex-colorings of $G_n$ with…

We consider partitions of the edge set of a graph G into copies of a fixed graph H and single edges. Let \phi_H(n) denote the minimum number p such that any n-vertex G admits such a partition with at most p parts. We show that…

One deals with r-regular bipartite graphs with 2n vertices. In a previous paper Butera, Pernici, and the author have introduced a quantity d(i), a function of the number of i-matchings, and conjectured that as n goes to infinity the…

Based on elementary methods and techniques, the explicit formula for the generalized Euler function $\varphi_{e}(n)(e=8,12)$ is given, and then a sufficient and necessary condition for $\varphi_{8}(n)$ or $\varphi_{12}(n)$ to be odd is…

A permutation graph $G_\pi$ is a simple graph with vertices corresponding to the elements of $\pi$ and an edge between $i$ and $j$ when $i$ and $j$ are inverted in $\pi$. A set of vertices $D$ is said to dominate a graph $G$ when every…

Given a graph $G$, an exact $r$-coloring of $G$ is a surjective function $c:V(G) \to [1,\dots,r]$. An arithmetic progression in $G$ of length $j$ with common difference $d$ is a set of vertices $\{v_1,\dots, v_j\}$ such that…

For a graph $G,$ we denote the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ by $F(G)$. For a tree $T$, $F(T)$ has been studied extensively and it has been observed that $F(T)$ has a reverse correlation with Wiener index of $T$. Based on that, we…

Given a nonempty graph $G$, a collection of nonempty graphs $\cal{H}$, and a positive integer $k$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $\mathrm{gr}_k(G:\mathcal{H})$ is defined to be the minimum positive integer $n$ such that every exact…

This paper studies infinite graphs produced from a natural unfolding operation applied to finite graphs. Graphs produced via such operations are of finite degree and automatic over the unary alphabet (that is, they can be described by…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The energy $E$ of the graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the moduli of the adjacency eigenvalues $\lambda_{1} \geq \lambda_{2} \geq \ldots \geq \lambda_{n}$ of $G$: $$…

The Gallai graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a graph $G$ has the edges of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices $e$ and $f$ of $\Gamma(G)$ are adjacent in $\Gamma(G)$ if the edges $e$ and $f$ of $G$ are adjacent in $G$ but do not span a triangle…

We say that the order of an algebraic number $A$ is the minimum of positive integers $k$ such that $A^k$ is rational. In this paper, we show that the number of algebraic numbers $A$ with order $k$ such that \[ A,\ A^A,\ A^{A^A},\ \ldots \]…
