Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The remoteness $\rho(G)$ and the proximity $\pi(G)$ of $G$ are the maximum and…

For a simple graph $G$, let $\chi_f(G)$ be the fractional chromatic number of $G$. In this paper, we aim to establish upper bounds on $\chi_f(G)$ for those graphs $G$ with restrictions on the clique number. Namely, we prove that for $\Delta…

In this paper, we present several density-type theorems which show how to find a copy of a sparse bipartite graph in a graph of positive density. Our results imply several new bounds for classical problems in graph Ramsey theory and improve…

We consider the problem of determining the inducibility (maximum possible asymptotic density of induced copies) of oriented graphs on four vertices. We provide exact values for more than half of the graphs, and very close lower and upper…

In a recent paper, Gerbner, Patk\'{o}s, Tuza and Vizer studied regular $F$-saturated graphs. One of the essential questions is given $F$, for which $n$ does a regular $n$-vertex $F$-saturated graph exist. They proved that for all…

We extend the notion of $P_4$-sparse graphs previously introduced by {\scshape Ho\`ang} by considering $\mathcal{F}$-sparse graphs were $\mathcal{F}$ denotes a finite set of graphs on $p$ vertices. Thus we obtain some results on…

For two given graphs $G$ and $H$ the planar Ramsey number $PR(G,H)$ is the smallest integer $n$ such that every planar graph $F$ on $n$ vertices either contains a copy of $G$, or its complement contains a copy of $H$. In this paper, we…

The thickness of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices is the minimum number of planar subgraphs of $G$ whose union is $G$. A polyline drawing of $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a drawing $\Gamma$ of $G$, where each vertex is mapped to a point and…

Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $F$ as a subgraph for any $F\in\mathcal{F}$ but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of…

An edge-colored graph $G$ is \emph{conflict-free connected} if any two of its vertices are connected by a path, which contains a color used on exactly one of its edges. The \emph{conflict-free connection number} of a connected graph $G$,…

This is the first in a series of two papers dealing with $(2P_3,C_4,C_6)$-free graphs, or equivalently, $(2P_3,\text{even hole})$-free graphs. In this two-paper series, we give a full structural description of $(2P_3,C_4,C_6)$-free graphs…

A graph is $(k_1,k_2)$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into a graph with maximum degree at most $k_1$ and and a graph with maximum degree at most $k_2$. We show that every $(C_3,C_4,C_6)$-free planar graph is…

In modern mathematics, graphs figure as one of the better-investigated class of mathematical objects. Various properties of graphs, as well as graph-processing algorithms, can be useful if graphs of a certain kind are used as denotations…

We prove that every triangle-free $4$-critical graph $G$ satisfies $e(G) \geq \frac{5v(G)+2}{3}$. This result gives a unified proof that triangle-free planar graphs are $3$-colourable, and that graphs of girth at least five which embed in…

A graph $H$ is said to be positive if the homomorphism density $t_H(G)$ is non-negative for all weighted graphs $G$. The positive graph conjecture proposes a characterisation of such graphs, saying that a graph is positive if and only if it…

We show that the existence of a universal structure implies the existence of a generic structure for any approximable class $\mathcal{C}$ of countable structures. We also show that the converse is not true. As a consequence, we provide…

Determining the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $C_4$-free graph is a well-studied problem that dates back to a paper of Erd\H{o}s from 1938. One of the most important families of $C_4$-free graphs are the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi…

For an integer $t$, a graph $G$ is called {\em{$C_{>t}$-free}} if $G$ does not contain any induced cycle on more than~$t$ vertices. We prove the following statement: for every pair of integers $d$ and $t$ and a CMSO$_2$ statement~$\phi$,…

Let $a,b$ be positive integers with $a\ge b$. A graph $G$ is $(a,b)$-choosable if, for every assignment of lists $L(v)$ of size $a$ to the vertices of $G$, there exists a choice of subsets $C(v)\subseteq L(v)$ with $|C(v)|=b$ for each $v$…
