We prove that the number of tangencies between the members of two families, each of which consists of $n$ pairwise disjoint curves, can be as large as $\Omega(n^{4/3})$. We show that from a conjecture about forbidden $0$-$1$ matrices it…

We investigate the maximum number of intersections between two polygons with p and q vertices, respectively, in the plane. The cases where p or q is even or the polygons do not have to be simple are quite easy and already known, but when p…

We obtain the scaling limits of random graphs drawn uniformly in three families of intersection graphs: permutation graphs, circle graphs, and unit interval graphs. The two first families typically generate dense graphs, in these cases we…

There are typically several nonisomorphic graphs having a given degree sequence, and for any two degree sequence terms it is often possible to find a realization in which the corresponding vertices are adjacent and one in which they are…

The overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree (SOGs) generalise many other graphs classes with set representation characterisations. The complexity of recognising SOGs in open. The complexities of recognising many subclasses of SOGs are known.…

Recently Chase determined the maximum possible number of cliques of size $t$ in a graph on $n$ vertices with given maximum degree. Soon afterward, Chakraborti and Chen answered the version of this question in which we ask that the graph…

Given a directed graph D = (V,A) we define its intersection graph I(D) = (A,E) to be the graph having A as a node-set and two nodes of I(D) are adjacent if their corresponding arcs share a common node that is the tail of at least one of…

We show that if we color the hyperedges of the complete $3$-uniform complete graph on $2n+\sqrt{18n+1}+2$ vertices with $n$ colors, then one of the color classes contains a loose path of length three.

If $X$ is a subset of vertices of a graph $G$, then vertices $u$ and $v$ are $X$-visible if there exists a shortest $u,v$-path $P$ such that $V(P)\cap X \subseteq \{u,v\}$. If each two vertices from $X$ are $X$-visible, then $X$ is a…

An isolating set in a graph is a set $X$ of vertices such that every edge of the graph is incident with a vertex of $X$ or its neighborhood. The isolation number of a graph, or equivalently the vertex-edge domination number, is the minimum…

We say that a graph is intrinsically knotted or completely 3-linked if every embedding of the graph into the 3-sphere contains a nontrivial knot or a 3-component link any of whose 2-component sublink is nonsplittable. We show that a graph…

Infinite analogues of the Paley graphs are constructed, based on uncountably many infinite but locally finite fields. Weil's estimate for character sums shows that they are all isomorphic to the random or universal graph of Erd\H os,…

Paley graphs are Cayley graphs which are circulant and strongly regular. Paley-type graph of order a product of two distinct Pythagorean primes was introduced by Dr Angsuman Das. In this paper, we extend the study of Paley-type graphs to…

We introduce a new model of indeterminacy in graphs: instead of specifying all the edges of the graph, the input contains all triples of vertices that form a connected subgraph. In general, different (labelled) graphs may have the same set…

A drawing of a graph in the plane is a thrackle if every pair of edges intersects exactly once, either at a common vertex or at a proper crossing. Conway's conjecture states that a thrackle has at most as many edges as vertices. In this…

In this note we address the problem of determining the maximum number of points of intersection of two arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curves in $\PP^3$. We give a sharp upper bound for the maximum number of points of intersection of two…

We show that every sufficiently large plane triangulation has a large collection of nested cycles that either are pairwise disjoint, or pairwise intersect in exactly one vertex, or pairwise intersect in exactly two vertices. We apply this…

We give a computer-assisted proof of the fact that $R(K_5-P_3, K_5)=25$. This solves one of the three remaining open cases in Hendry's table, which listed the Ramsey numbers for pairs of graphs on 5 vertices. We find that there exist no…

We prove that for $n>k\geq 3$, if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with chromatic number $k$ but any its proper subgraph has smaller chromatic number, then $G$ contains at most $n-k+3$ copies of cliques of size $k-1$. This answers a problem of…

We deal with connected $k$-regular multigraphs of order $n$ that has only three distinct eigenvalues. In this paper, we study the largest possible number of vertices of such a graph for given $k$. For $k=2,3,7$, the Moore graphs are…
