We study the VC-dimension of the set system on the vertex set of some graph which is induced by the family of its $k$-connected subgraphs. In particular, we give tight upper and lower bounds for the VC-dimension. Moreover, we show that…
We consider a surrounding variant of cops and robbers on graphs of bounded genus. We obtain bounds on the number of cops required to surround a robber on planar graphs, toroidal graphs, and outerplanar graphs. We also obtain improved bounds…
Given an edge-coloring of a graph $G$, we associate to every vertex $v$ of $G$ the set of colors appearing on the edges incident with $v$. The palette index of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of such distinct sets, taken over all…
Given a connected graph $G$, the Randi\'c index $R(G)$ is the sum of $\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{d(u)d(v)}}$ over all edges $\{u,v\}$ of $G$, where $d(u)$ and $d(v)$ are the degree of vertices $u$ and $v$ respectively. Let $q(G)$ be the largest…

We derive upper and lower bounds for the vertex-isoperimetric number of the incidence graphs of unitals and determine its order of magnitude. In the case when a unital contains sufficiently large arcs, these bounds agree and give rise to…
This paper presents bounds for the variation of the spectral radius $\lambda(G)$ of a graph $G$ after some perturbations or local vertex/edge modifications of $G$. The perturbations considered here are the connection of a new vertex with,…
The numerical radius of a matrix is a scalar quantity that has many applications in the study of matrix analysis. Due to the difficulty in computing the numerical radius, inequalities bounding it have received a considerable attention in…
For a graph with colored vertices, a rainbow subgraph is one where all vertices have different colors. For graph $G$, let $c_k(G)$ denote the maximum number of different colors in a coloring without a rainbow path on $k$ vertices, and…
In the literature, several different identification problems in graphs have been studied, the most widely studied such problems are the ones based on dominating sets as a tool of identification. Hereby, the objective is to separate any two…
We establish a sharp lower bound on the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a metric graph equipped with natural (i.e., continuity and Kirchhoff) vertex conditions in terms of the diameter and the total length of the graph.…
On a compact metric graph, we consider the spectrum of the Laplacian defined with a mix of standard and Dirichlet vertex conditions. A Cheeger-type lower bound on the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ is established, with a constant that depends…
An Euclidean greedy embedding of a graph is a straight-line embedding in the plane, such that for every pair of vertices $s$ and $t$, the vertex $s$ has a neighbor $v$ with smaller distance to $t$ than $s$. This drawing style is motivated…
The Fibonacci index of a graph is the number of its stable sets. This parameter is widely studied and has applications in chemical graph theory. In this paper, we establish tight upper bounds for the Fibonacci index in terms of the…
Finding paths in graphs is a fundamental graph-theoretic task. In this work, we we are concerned with finding a path with some constraints on its length and the number of vertices neighboring the path, that is, being outside of and incident…
For a given positive integer t we consider graphs having maximal independent sets of precisely t distinct cardinalities and restrict our attention to those that have no vertices of degree one. In the situation when t is four or larger and…
Graphs with bounded treewidth and bounded maximum degree are known to have tree-partitions of bounded width. What can be said if the bounded treewidth assumption is strengthened to bounded pathwidth? We prove that every graph with bounded…
Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph with $n$, $n\ge 3$, vertices and $m$ edges. Denote by $\rho_1 \ge \rho_2 \ge \cdots > \rho_n =0$ the normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. Upper and lower bounds of $\rho_i$, $i=1,2,\ldots , n-1$,…
A $k$-cycle in a graph is a cycle of length $k.$ A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called edge-pancyclic if for every integer $k$ with $3\le k\le n,$ every edge of $G$ lies in a $k$-cycle. It seems difficult to determine the minimum size $f(n)$…
