A subgraph $H$ of a multigraph $G$ is called strongly spanning, if any vertex of $G$ is not isolated in $H$, while it is called maximum $k$-edge-colorable, if $H$ is proper $k$-edge-colorable and has the largest size. We introduce a…

Let $G$ be a $3$-connected graph. A set $W \subset V(G)$ is called contractible if $G(W)$ is a connected graph and $G - W$ is a $2$-connected graph. In 1994, McCuaig and Ota conjectured that for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $n \in…

A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$ is called a $k$-factor. Fan, Lin and Lu [European J. Combin. 110 (2023) 103701] presented a tight sufficient condition in terms of the spectral radius for a connected 1-tough graph to contain a…

An edge-coloured path is monochromatic if all of its edges have the same colour. For a $k$-connected graph $G$, the monochromatic $k$-connection number of $G$, denoted by $mc_k(G)$, is the maximum number of colours in an edge-colouring of…

Given a graph $G$ with a total order defined on its vertices, the Maximum Pagenumber-$k$ Subgraph Problem asks for a maximum subgraph $G'$ of $G$ such that $G'$ can be embedded into a $k$-book when the vertices are placed on the spine…

In a graph, $k$ cycles are {\em admissible} if their lengths form an arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. Let $G$ be a 2-connected graph with minimum degree at least $k\geqslant 4$. We prove that \begin{itemize} \item…

For a graph $G$, $k(G)$ denotes its connectivity. A graph is super connected if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex. Also $k_{1}$-connectivity of a connected graph is the minimum number of vertices whose deletion gives a disconnected…

We say that a graph G has a perfect H-packing if there exists a set of vertex-disjoint copies of H which cover all the vertices in G. We consider various problems concerning perfect H-packings: Given positive integers n, r, D, we…

Let $G$ be a graph. The spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. For an integer $k\geq1$, a $k$-factor of $G$ is a $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$. Assume that $k$ and $n$ are integers…

An important result of Koml\'os [Tiling Tur\'an theorems, Combinatorica, 2000] yields the asymptotically exact minimum degree threshold that ensures a graph $G$ contains an $H$-tiling covering an $x$th proportion of the vertices of $G$ (for…

A linkage of order k of a graph G is a subgraph with k components, each of which is a path. A linkage is vital if it spans all vertices, and no other linkage connects the same pairs of end vertices. We give a characterization of the graphs…

Let $q(G)$ denote the $Q$-index of a graph $G$, which is the largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue of $G$. We prove best possible upper bounds of $q(G)$ and best possible lower bounds of $q(\overline{G})$ for a connected graph $G$ to be…

We give an Ore-Type condition sufficient for a graph G to have a spanning tree with a specified degree sequence.

A $k$-matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow\{0,1,2,\ldots,k\}$ with $\sum\limits_{e\in E_G(v)}f(e)\leq k$ for each vertex $v$ of $G$, where $E_G(v)$ is the set of edges incident with $v$ in $G$. A perfect $k$-matching of…

A $k$-matching cover of a graph $G$ is a union of $k$ matchings of $G$ which covers $V(G)$. A matching cover of $G$ is optimal if it consists of the fewest matchings of $G$. In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding an optimal…

We establish mild conditions under which a possibly irregular, sparse graph $G$ has "many" strong orientations. Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, orient each edge in either direction with probability $1/2$ independently. We show that if…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, and let $c: E \to P$, where $P$ is a set of colors. Let $\delta^c(G) = \min_{v \in V} \{ d^{c}(v) \}$ where $d^c(v)$ is the number of colors on edges incident to a vertex $v$ of $G$. In 2011,…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $T=\{ (s_i, t_i) : 1\leq i\leq k \}\subseteq V\times V$ of $k$ pairs, the $k$-vertex-disjoint-paths (resp. $k$-edge-disjoint-paths) problem asks to determine whether there exist~$k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint…

Given graphs $F$ and $G$, a perfect $F$-tiling in $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ in $G$ that together cover all the vertices in $G$. The study of the minimum degree threshold forcing a perfect $F$-tiling in a graph $G$…
