Let $\mathcal{V}$ and $\mathcal{U}$ be the point sets of two independent homogeneous Poisson processes on $\mathbb{R}^d$. A graph $\mathcal{G}_\mathcal{V}$ with vertex set $\mathcal{V}$ is constructed by first connecting pairs of points…

Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…

A well-known result due to Chvat\'al and Erd\H{o}s (1972) asserts that, if a graph $G$ satisfies $\kappa(G) \ge \alpha(G)$, where $\kappa(G)$ is the vertex-connectivity of $G$, then $G$ has a Hamilton cycle. We prove a similar result…

A graph on $2k$ vertices is path-pairable if for any pairing of the vertices the pairs can be joined by edge-disjoint paths. The so far known families of path-pairable graphs have diameter of length at most 3. In this paper we present an…

Let $G$ be a cubic graph and $\Pi$ be a polyhedral embedding of this graph. The extended graph, $G^{e},$ of $\Pi$ is the graph whose set of vertices is $V(G^{e})=V(G)$ and whose set of edges $E(G^{e})$ is equal to $E(G) \cup \mathcal{S}$,…

An abstract topological graph (briefly an AT-graph) is a pair $A=(G,\mathcal{X})$ where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph and $\mathcal{X}\subseteq {E \choose 2}$ is a set of pairs of its edges. The AT-graph $A$ is simply realizable if $G$ can be drawn…

Given a connected outerplanar graph G of pathwidth p, we give an algorithm to add edges to G to get a supergraph of G, which is 2-vertex-connected, outerplanar and of pathwidth O(p). This settles an open problem raised by Biedl, in the…

Let ${\cal H}$ denote the family of all graphs with multi-$4$-cycles and suppose that $G \in {\cal H}$. Then, $G$ is a bipartite graph with a vertex bipartition $\{V_{\alpha}, V_{\beta}\}$. We prove that for every vertex $v \in V_{\beta}$…

We complement our study of 2-connectivity in directed graphs, by considering the computation of the following 2-vertex-connectivity relations: We say that two vertices v and w are 2-vertex-connected if there are two internally…

Luo, Tian and Wu (2022) conjectured that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+t$, where $t=$max$\{|X|,|Y|\}$, contains a tree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$…

The status of a vertex $x$ in a graph is the sum of the distances between $x$ and all other vertices. Let $G$ be a connected graph. The status sequence of $G$ is the list of the statuses of all vertices arranged in nondecreasing order. $G$…

We prove for every graph H there exists a>0 such that, for every graph G with at least two vertices, if no induced subgraph of G is a subdivision of H, then either some vertex of G has at least a|G| neighbours, or there are two disjoint…

A graph $G$ is $k$-path-coverable if its vertex set $V(G)$ can be covered by $k$ or fewer vertex disjoint paths. In this paper, using the $Q$-index of a connected graph $G$, we present a tight sufficient condition for $G$ with fixed minimum…

We show that every $2$-connected cubic graph $G$ has a cycle double cover if $G$ has a spanning subgraph $F$ such that (i) every component of $F$ has an even number of vertices (ii) every component of $F$ is either a cycle or a subdivision…

Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any $d$-regular graph $G$ on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this…

A vertex with neighbours of degrees $d_1 \geq ... \geq d_r$ has {\em vertex type} $(d_1, ..., d_r)$. A graph is {\em vertex-oblique} if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and…

A connected graph $\G$ is said to be {\it distance-balanced} whenever for any pair of adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ the number of vertices closer to $u$ than to $v$ is equal to the number of vertices closer to $v$ than to $u$. In…

We define pure graphs, invertible graphs, and the notion of complementation of bicoloured graphs. The study of pure graphs is motivated by two conjectures about the transition systems of eulerian graphs and by the Cycle Double Cover…

A simple topological graph $G$ is a graph drawn in the plane so that any pair of edges have at most one point in common, which is either an endpoint or a proper crossing. $G$ is called saturated if no further edge can be added without…

If a biconnected graph stays connected after the removal of an arbitrary vertex and an arbitrary edge, then it is called 2.5-connected. We prove that every biconnected graph has a canonical decomposition into 2.5-connected components. These…
