For a graph $G$, the $\ell$-deck of $G$ is the multiset of induced subgraphs on $G$ having $\ell$ vertices. Recently, Groenland et al. proved that any tree can be reconstructed from its $(8/9+o(1))n$-deck. For the particular case of…
The degree-constrained subgraph problem asks for a subgraph of a given graph such that the degree of each vertex is within some specified bounds. We study the following reconfiguration variant of this problem: Given two solutions to a…
In 1990 Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that for $k\geq 2$, every graph with $n\geq k+1$ vertices and $(k-1)(n-k+2)+\binom{k-2}{2}+1$ edges contains a subgraph of minimum degree $k$ on at most $n-\sqrt{n}/\sqrt{6k^3}$…
We consider the number of vertices that must be removed from a graph G in order that the remaining subgraph has no component with more than k vertices. Our principal observation is that, if G is a sparse random graph or a random regular…
In this work, we delve into the study of the 2-switch-degree of a graph $G$, which is nothing more than the degree of $G$ as a vertex of the realization graph $\mathcal{G}(d)$ associated with the degree sequence $d$ of $G$. We explore the…
It is proved that there exist graphs of bounded degree with arbitrarily large queue-number. In particular, for all $\Delta\geq3$ and for all sufficiently large $n$, there is a simple $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with queue-number at…
An edge deleted unlabeled subgraph of a graph G is an ecard. A da-ecard specifies the degree of the deleted edge along with the ecard. The degree associated edge reconstruction number of a graph G, dern(G), is the size of the smallest…
We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…
A matching is a set of edges without common endpoint. It was recently shown that every 1-planar graph (i.e., a graph that can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge) that has minimum degree 3 has a matching of size at…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of curling subsequence of simple, finite and connected graphs. A curling subsequence is a maximal subsequence $C$ of the degree sequence of a simple connected graph $G$ for which the curling number…
An (improper) graph colouring has "defect" $d$ if each monochromatic subgraph has maximum degree at most $d$, and has "clustering" $c$ if each monochromatic component has at most $c$ vertices. This paper studies defective and clustered…
A graph G on n vertices is said to be extendable if G can be modified to form a new graph H on more than n vertices, while preserving the degrees of the vertices common to G and H. The added vertices all have the same degree and we define…
A graph is \emph{$(\mathcal{I}, \mathcal{F})$-partitionable} if its vertex set can be partitioned into two parts such that one part $\mathcal{I}$ is an independent set, and the other $\mathcal{F}$ induces a forest. A graph is…
The degree partition of a simple graph is its degree sequence rearranged in weakly decreasing order. The polytope of degree partitions (respectively, degree sequences) is the convex hull of all degree partitions (respectively, degree…
Recovering sparse conditional independence graphs from data is a fundamental problem in machine learning with wide applications. A popular formulation of the problem is an $\ell_1$ regularized maximum likelihood estimation. Many convex…
This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…
A matching of a graph is a set of edges without common end vertex. A graph is called 1-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Recently, Biedl and Wittnebel proved that every 1-planar graph…
This note gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of non-negative integers to be the degree sequence of a connected simple graph. This result is implicit in a paper of Hakimi. A new alternative characterisation of these…
A new layers method is presented for multipartite separability of density matrices from simple graphs. Full separability of tripartite states is studied for graphs on degree symmetric premise. The models are generalized to multipartite…
We investigate a descent on simple graphs, starting with the complete graph on $n$ vertices and ending up with the cycle graph by removing one edge after another. We obtain quantitative results showing that graphs with large diameter must…
