Let $G$ be a bipartite graph and $I=I(G)$ be its edge ideal. The aim of this note is to investigate different aspects of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$ of $I$. We compute its regularity and the universal Gr\"obner basis of its defining…
Let $G$ be a chordal graph and $I(G)$ its edge ideal. Let $\beta (I(G)) = (\beta_0, \beta_1, ..., \beta_p)$ denote the Betti sequence of $I(G)$, where $\beta_i$ stands for the $i$th total Betti number of $I(G)$ and where $p$ is the…
Let $r>2$ and $\sigma\in(0,r-1)$ be integers. We require $t<2s$, where $t=2^{\sigma+1}-1$ and $s=2^{r-\sigma-1}$. Generalizing a known $\{K_4,T_{6,3}\}$-ultrahomogenous graph $G_3^1$, we find that a finite, connected, undirected,…
A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…
The total Betti number of the independence complex of a graph is an intriguing graph invariant. Kalai and Meshulam have raised the question on its relation to cycles and the chromatic number of a graph, and a recent conjecture on that theme…
Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is a powerful tool in graph theory. It states that for every large enough graph, there exists a partition of the edge set with bounded size such that most induced subgraphs are quasirandom. When the graph is a…
The vertex cover ideal $J(G)$ of a finite graph $G$ is studied. We characterize when a Cohen--Macaulay vertex cover ideal $J(G)$ has a Scarf minimal free resolution. Furthermore, by using both combinatorial and topological techniques, the…
We compute the Betti numbers of the edge rings of multi-path graphs using the \emph{induced-subgraph approach} introduced in \cite{WL1}. Here, a multi-path graph refers to a simple graph composed of several paths that have the same starting…
We prove that every graph $G$ for which $\omega(G) \geq 3/4(\Delta(G) + 1)$, has an independent set $I$ such that $\omega(G - I) < \omega(G)$. It follows that a minimum counterexample $G$ to Reed's conjecture satisfies $\omega(G) <…
Let $i_t(G)$ be the number of independent sets of size $t$ in a graph $G$. Alavi, Erd\H{o}s, Malde and Schwenk made the conjecture that if $G$ is a tree then the independent set sequence $\{i_t(G)\}_{t\geq 0}$ of $G$ is unimodal; Levit and…
We consider two problems regarding vanishing patterns in the Betti table of edge ideals $I$ in polynomial algebra $S$. First, we show that the $j$-strand is connected if $j=3$ (for $j=2$ this is easy and known), and give examples where the…
We consider Stanley--Reisner rings $k[x_1,...,x_n]/I(\mc{H})$ where $I(\mc{H})$ is the edge ideal associated to some particular classes of hypergraphs. For instance, we consider hypergraphs that are natural generalizations of graphs that…
Let $\Lambda$ be a numerical semigroup and $I\subset \Lambda$ be an ideal of $\Lambda$. The graph $G_I(\Lambda)$ assigned to an ideal $I$ of $\Lambda$ is a graph with elements of $(\Lambda \setminus I)^*$ as vertices and any two vertices…
A graph G = (V,E) is called fully regular if for every independent set $I\subset V$ , the number of vertices in $V\setminus$ I that are not connected to any element of I depends only on the size of I. A linear ordering of the vertices of G…
This paper studies a class of binomial ideals associated to graphs with finite vertex sets. They generalize the binomial edge ideals, and they arise in the study of conditional independence ideals. A Gr\"obner basis can be computed by…
We introduce the concept of link-irregular labelings for graphs, extending the notion of link-irregular graphs through edge labeling with positive integers. A labeling is link-irregular if every vertex has a uniquely labeled subgraph…
We propose the conjecture that the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $\Delta\geq 1$ is always at most its edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, which coincides with the domination number of its line graph.…
Describing families of ideals that are minimally generated by at least one, or by all, of their reduced Gr\"obner bases is a central topic in commutative algebra. In this paper, we address this problem in the context of toric ideals of…
If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…
This work deals with undirected graphs that have the same betweenness centrality for each vertex, so-called betweenness uniform graphs (or BUGs). The class of these graphs is not trivial and its classification is still an open problem.…
