Simplifications of a result from a prior paper concerning the electric resistance between points in a distance-regular graph are given. In particular, we prove that the maximal resistance between points is bounded by twice the resistance…
We show that the size of maximum cut in a planar graph with $m$ edges is at least $2m/3$. We also show that maximal planar graphs saturate this bound.
In this note, we derive closed formulas for the energy of circulant graphs generated by $1$ and $\gamma$, where $\gamma\geqslant2$ is an integer. We also find a formula for the energy of the complete graph without a Hamilton cycle.
The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is the total number of distinct spanning subgraphs of $G$ that are trees. In this paper we characterize the unique graph with a prescribed vertex (resp. edge) connectivity, minimum degree and…
The modelling of interconnection networks by graphs motivated the study of several extremal problems that involve well known parameters of a graph (degree, diameter, girth and order) and ask for the optimal value of one of them while…
Given a graph $G$, we associate a path matrix $P$ whose $(i, j)$ entry represents the maximum number of vertex disjoint paths between the vertices $i$ and $j$, with zeros on the main diagonal. In this note, we resolve four conjectures from…
We study the metric dimension (strong and weak) of infinite graphs. In particular, our main interest is characterizing infinite graphs with finite dimension. Our main results: (1) graphs with more than one end have infinite strong…
A solution to a problem of Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable, and $c/d > a/b$, then $G$ is not necessarily $(c:d)$-choosable. The simplest case of another problem, stated by the same…
The index of a signed graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. For positive integers $n$ and $m\le n^2/4$, we determine the maximal index of complete signed graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ negative edges. This settles (the…
In this paper, we obtain two spectral upper bounds for the $k$-independence number of a graph which is is the maximum size of a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than $k$. We construct graphs that attain equality for our first…
We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in an undirected simple graph $G$ with an even number of vertices, in terms of the degrees of all the vertices in $G$. This bound is sharp if $G$ is a union of complete bipartite…
The rank of a graph is defined to be the rank of its adjacency matrix. A graph is called reduced if it has no isolated vertices and no two vertices with the same set of neighbors. A reduced graph $G$ is said to be maximal if any reduced…
We wish to bring attention to a natural but slightly hidden problem, posed by Erd\H{o}s and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il in the late 1980s, an edge version of the degree--diameter problem. Our main result is that, for any graph of maximum degree…
Let $G$ be a connected finite graph with vertex set $V(G)$. The eccentricity $e(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is defined as $\frac{1}{|V(G)|}\sum_{v \in…
A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. We establish tight lower bounds on the maximum size of a uniquely restricted matching in terms of order, size, and maximum degree.
We study minimum degree conditions that guarantee that an $n$-vertex graph is rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For small values of $d$, we obtain a tight bound: for $d = O(\sqrt{n})$, every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(n+d)/2 -…
The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of its adjacency eigenvalues. For integral circulant graphs $\ICG(n,\mathcal{D})$ of order $n=p^2q^3$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct odd primes, we prove that the adjacency…
An old problem raised independently by Jacobson and Sch\"onheim asks to determine the maximum $s$ for which every graph with $m$ edges contains a pair of edge-disjoint isomorphic subgraphs with $s$ edges. In this paper we determine this…
The energy $E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of $G$. An $n$-vertex graph is said to be hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n$ and strongly hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n-1$. In this paper, we consider…
Recent advances in dynamic graph processing have enabled the analysis of highly dynamic graphs with change at rates as high as millions of edge changes per second. Solutions in this domain, however, have been demonstrated only for…
