We prove that every 3-connected planar graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced path on $\Omega(\log n)$ vertices, which is best possible and improves the best known lower bound by a multiplicative factor of $\log \log n$. We deduce that…

Gallai's conjecture asserts that every connected graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $\frac{n+1}{2}$ paths. For general graphs (possibly disconnected), it was proved that every graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into…

A cut in a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is a set of arcs $\{uv \in A: u\in U, v\notin U\}$, for some $U\subseteq V$. It is known that the arc set $A$ is covered by $k$ cuts if and only if it admits a $k$-coloring such that no two consecutive arcs $uv,…

An embedding of a metric graph $(G, d)$ on a closed hyperbolic surface is \emph{essential}, if each complementary region has a negative Euler characteristic. We show, by construction, that given any metric graph, its metric can be rescaled…

In this note, we prove that every even regular multigraph on $n$ vertices with multiplicity at most $r$ and minimum degree at least $rn/2 + o(n)$ has a Hamilton decomposition. This generalises a result of Vaughan who proved an asymptotic…

A \emph{proper $t$-edge-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\alpha: E(G)\rightarrow \{1,\ldots,t\}$ such that all colors are used, and $\alpha(e)\neq \alpha(e^{\prime})$ for every pair of adjacent edges $e,e^{\prime}\in E(G)$. If $\alpha…

The Erd\H{o}s, Gr\"unwald, and Weiszfeld theorem is a characterization of those infinite graphs which are Eulerian. That is, infinite graphs that admit infinite Eulerian paths. In this article we prove an effective version of the Erd\H{o}s,…

We study P\'olya urns on hypergraphs and prove that, when the incidence matrix of the hypergraph is injective, there exists a point $v=v(H)$ such that the random process converges to $v$ almost surely. We also provide a partial result when…

We prove that if $L(G)$ immerses $K_t$ then $L(mG)$ immerses $K_{mt}$, where $mG$ is the graph obtained from $G$ by replacing each edge in $G$ with a parallel edge of multiplicity $m$. This implies that when $G$ is a simple graph, $L(mG)$…

We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…

We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ is $(d, \eta,P_2)$-dense if for any two subsets of pairs $P$, $Q\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…

A graph $G$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if for any total list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a proper total…

A graph is perfectly divisible if for each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(H[B]) < \omega(H)$. A graph $G$ is perfectly weight divisible if for every positive…

Given a graph $G$, an injective edge-coloring of $G$ is a function $\psi:E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb N$ such that if $\psi(e) = \psi(e')$, then no third edge joins an endpoint of $e$ and an endpoint of $e'$. The injective chromatic index of a…

This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum degree, asserting that…

Fix g>1. Every graph of large enough tree-width contains a g x g grid as a minor; but here we prove that every four-edge-connected graph of large enough tree-width contains a g x g grid as an immersion (and hence contains any fixed graph…
