In the past decades, graphs that are determined by their spectrum have received more attention, since they have been applied to several fields, such as randomized algorithms, combinatorial optimization problems and machine learning. An…

A set $X$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is called a {\em clique cut} of $G$ if the subgraph of $G$ induced by $X$ is a complete graph and the number of connected components of $G-X$ is greater than that of $G$. A clique cut $X$ of $G$ is…

1-planar graphs are graphs that can be drawn in the plane such that any edge intersects with at most one other edge. Ackerman showed that the edges of a 1-planar graph can be partitioned into a planar graph and a forest, and claims that the…

Here in particular, we give a characterization of Quasi-line Graphs in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs. In general, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be a union of two cliques.

In this paper, we prove that for every connected graph G, there exists a split graph H with the same independence number and the same order. Then we propose a first algorithm for finding this graph, given the degree sequence of the input…

A graph $G$ is said to be a $(k,\ell)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. It is well established that the recognition problem for $(k,\ell)$-graphs is NP-complete whenever $k \geq 3$ or…

In 2006 Qian [J. Qian, Degree complete graphs; Discrete Mathematics 306 (2006), 533--537] introduced the concept of degree complete graphs for labeled graphs. He also gave a characterization of these graphs in terms of two forbidden…

Let $\gamma_g(G)$ and $\gamma_{tg}(G)$ be the game domination number and the total game domination number of a graph $G$, respectively. Then $G$ is $\gamma_g$-perfect (resp. $\gamma_{tg}$-perfect), if every induced subgraph $F$ of $G$…

The $\delta$-complement $G_\delta$ of a graph $G$, introduced in 2022 by Pai et al., is a variant of the graph complement, where two vertices are adjacent in $G_\delta$ if and only if they are of the same degree but not adjacent in $G$ or…

Mock threshold graphs are a simple generalization of threshold graphs that, like threshold graphs, are perfect graphs. Our main theorem is a characterization of mock threshold graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. Other theorems…

A constructive characterization of the class of uniformly $4$-connected graphs is presented. The characterization is based on the application of graph operations to appropriate vertex and edge sets in uniformly $4$-connected graphs, that…

For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_{2}(G)$ be the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A chord of a cycle in a graph $G$ is an edge of $G$ joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove the following…

In this paper we develop three characterizations for isomorphism of graphs. The first characterization is obtained by associating certain bitableaux with the graphs. We order these bitableaux by suitably defined lexicographic order and…

A graph is said to be globally rigid if almost all embeddings of the graph's vertices in the Euclidean plane will define a system of edge-length equations with a unique (up to isometry) solution. In 2007, Jackson, Servatius and Servatius…

A graph is equimatchable if each of its matchings is a subset of a maximum matching. It is known that any 2-connected equimatchable graph is either bipartite, or factor-critical, and that these two classes are disjoint. This paper provides…

Let $H$ and $G$ be graphs such that $H$ has at least 3 vertices and is connected. The $H$-line graph of $G$, denoted by $HL(G)$, is that graph whose vertices are the edges of $G$ and where two vertices of $HL(G)$ are adjacent if they are…
