We show that there are $O(n \cdot 4^{n/11})$ planar graphs on $n$ vertices which do not admit a simultaneous straight-line embedding on any $n$-point set in the plane. In particular, this improves the best known bound $O(n!)$ significantly.

A graph $G$ is a non-separating planar graph if there is a drawing $D$ of $G$ on the plane such that (1) no two edges cross each other in $D$ and (2) for any cycle $C$ in $D$, any two vertices not in $C$ are on the same side of $C$ in $D$.…

The graph isomorphism problem is a main problem which has numerous applications in different fields. Thus, finding an efficient and easy to implement method to discriminate non-isomorphic graphs is valuable. In this paper, a new method is…

The concept of directed strongly regular graphs (DSRG) was introduced by Duval in 1988 \cite{A}.In the present paper,we use representation theory of finite groups in order to investigate the directed strongly regular Cayley graphs.We first…

In this note, we provide a proof of a technical result of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal about the existence of disjoint type graphs with no odd cycles. We also prove that this result is sharp in a certain sense.

We construct a sequence of finite graphs that weakly converge to a Cayley graph, but there is no labelling of the edges that would converge to the corresponding Cayley diagram. A similar construction is used to give graph sequences that…

We consider a distance-regular graph $\G$ with diameter $d \ge 3$ and eigenvalues $k=\theta_0>\theta_1>... >\theta_d$. We show the intersection numbers $a_1, b_1$ satisfy $$ (\theta_1 + {k \over a_1+1}) (\theta_d + {k \over a_1+1}) \ge -…

Euler graphs with only one (two) type(s) of cycles under (mod 4) operation were studied in Part-I(II). Here we consider the class of Euler graphs with only three types of cycles under (mod 4). This gives rise to four cases viz., graphs…

Let $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that is regular and does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. We give lower bounds on $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$, that are best possible up to a constant factor, when…

The Moore bound constitutes both an upper bound on the order of a graph of maximum degree $d$ and diameter $D=k$ and a lower bound on the order of a graph of minimum degree $d$ and odd girth $g=2k+1$. Graphs missing or exceeding the Moore…

Characterizing graphs by their spectra is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has attracted a lot of attention of researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard and challenging to show a given graph to be determined…

Confirming a conjecture posed by Caro, it was shown by Chen and Yu that every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and at most $2n-4$ edges has a stable cutset, which is a stable set of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. Le and Pfender…

In this paper, we study the order of a maximal clique in an amply regular graph with a fixed smallest eigenvalue by considering a vertex that is adjacent to some (but not all) vertices of the maximal clique. As a consequence, we show that…

We study the resilience of random and pseudorandom directed graphs with respect to the property of having long directed cycles. For every $0 < \gamma < 1/2$ we find a constant $c=c(\gamma)$ such that the following holds. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a…

Coarse graph theory concerns finding 'coarse' analogues of graph theory theorems, replacing disjointness with being far apart. One of the most interesting open questions is to find a coarse analogue of Menger's theorem, which characterizes…
