We show that every cubic graph on $n$ vertices contains a spanning subgraph in which the number of vertices of each degree deviates from $\frac{n}{4}$ by at most $\frac{1}{2}$, up to three exceptions. This resolves the conjecture of Alon…

We study $k$-star decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set into disjoint stars with $k$ edges, in the uniformly random $d$-regular graph model $\mathcal{G}_{n,d}$. Using the small subgraph conditioning method, we prove an…

For a positive integer $k$, the $k$-cut complex of a graph $G$ is the simplicial complex whose facets are the $(|V(G)|-k)$-subsets $\sigma$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ of $G$ such that the induced subgraph of $G$ on $V(G) \setminus \sigma$ is…

Given a hypercube $\mathcal{Q}^{n} := \{0,1\}^{n}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $k \in \{0, \dots, n\}$, the $k$-th layer $\mathcal{Q}^{n}_{k}$ of $\mathcal{Q}^{n}$ denotes the set of all points in $\mathcal{Q}^{n}$ whose coordinates contain…

The $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture asserts that every matching of $Q_d$, $d\ge 2$, can be…

We consider the algorithmic problem of generating each subset of $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ whose size is in some interval $[k,l]$, $0\leq k\leq l\leq n$, exactly once (cyclically) by repeatedly adding or removing a single element, or by…

Graphons $W$ can be used as stochastic models to sample graphs $G_n$ on $n$ nodes for $n$ arbitrarily large. A graphon $W$ is said to have the $H$-property if $G_n$ admits a decomposition into disjoint cycles with probability one as $n$…

The Hamilton-Waterloo problem asks for a decomposition of the complete graph into $r$ copies of a 2-factor $F_{1}$ and $s$ copies of a 2-factor $F_{2}$ such that $r+s=\left\lfloor\frac{v-1}{2}\right\rfloor$. If $F_{1}$ consists of…

An old conjecture of Erd{\H{o}}s and Gallai states that every $n$ vertex graph can be decomposed, that is $E(G)$ can be partitioned, into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. The covering version of this conjecture was proven by Pyber in 1985, where it…

We consider the problem of constructing Latin cubes subject to the condition that some symbols may not appear in certain cells. We prove that there is a constant $\gamma > 0$ such that if $n=2^k$ and $A$ is $3$-dimensional $n\times n\times…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph of order of at least 2, with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E (G)$. A set $S$ of vertices of the graph $G$ is a doubly resolving set for $G$ if every two distinct vertices of $G$ are doubly resolved by…

We consider edge decompositions of $K_v^{(3)}-I$, the complete 3-uniform hypergraph of order $v$ minus a 1-factor (parallel class, packing of $v/3$ disjoint edges). We prove that a decomposition into tight 6-cycles exists if and only if…

In a graph, a Clique-Stable Set separator (CS-separator) is a family $\mathcal{C}$ of cuts (bipartitions of the vertex set) such that for every clique $K$ and every stable set $S$ with $K \cap S = \emptyset$, there exists a cut $( W,W')$ in…

We prove that a large family of graphs which are decomposable with respect to the modular decomposition can be reconstructed from their collection of vertex-deleted subgraphs.

A graph is universally $k$-edge-weightable if for every $k$-element set $Q\subset\mathbb{R}$, it admits a proper $Q$-edge weighting. The settled 1-2-3 conjecture implies that for any arithmetic progression $\{a,b,c\}$, every nice regular…

Let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote the collection of all $k$-subsets of the standard $n$-set $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $n>2k$ and let $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ be an {\it intersecting} $k$-graph, i.e., $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all…

Let Q_n be the graph of n times n times n cube with all non-decreasing diagonals (including the facial ones) in its constituent unit cubes. Suppose that a subset S of V(Q_n) separates the left side of the cube from the right side. We show…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. A graph $G$ is called {\it $H$-saturated} if $H$ is not a subgraph of $G$ but the addition of any missing edge to $G$ results in an $H$-subgraph. The {\it saturation number} of $H$, denoted $sat(n,H)$, is the…

Motivated by the wide-ranging applications of Hamiltonian decompositions in distributed computing, coded caching, routing, resource allocation, load balancing, and fault tolerance, our work presents a comprehensive design for Hamiltonian…

Let $n >3$ and $ 0< k < \frac{n}{2} $ be integers. In this paper, we investigate some algebraic properties of the line graph of the graph $ {Q_n}(k,k+1) $ where $ {Q_n}(k,k+1) $ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ which is induced by the…
