Recently, so-called treebased phylogenetic networks have gained considerable interest in the literature, where a treebased network is a network that can be constructed from a phylogenetic tree, called the base tree, by adding additional…
F-index of a graph is the sum of the cube of the degrees of the vertices. In this paper, we investigate the F-indices of unicyclic graphs by introducing some transformation, and characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first five largest…
A graph is $k$-clique-extendible if there is an ordering of the vertices such that whenever two $k$-sized overlapping cliques $A$ and $B$ have $k-1$ common vertices, and these common vertices appear between the two vertices $a,b\in…
It is well-known that the graphs not containing a given graph H as a subgraph have bounded chromatic number if and only if H is acyclic. Here we consider ordered graphs, i.e., graphs with a linear ordering on their vertex set, and the…
The class of closed graphs by a linear ordering on their sets of vertices is investigated. A recent characterization of such a class of graphs is analyzed by using tools from the proper interval graph theory.
In a finite undirected simple graph, a chordless cycle is an induced subgraph which is a cycle. A graph is called cyclically orientable if it admits an orientation in which every chordless cycle is cyclically oriented. We propose an…
A metric basis in a graph $G$ is a smallest possible set $S$ of vertices of $G$, with the property that any two vertices of $G$ are uniquely recognized by using a vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. A strong metric basis is a…
A $k$-cycle in a graph is a cycle of length $k.$ A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called edge-pancyclic if for every integer $k$ with $3\le k\le n,$ every edge of $G$ lies in a $k$-cycle. It seems difficult to determine the minimum size $f(n)$…
We consider the problem of incremental cycle detection and topological ordering in a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ with $|V| = n$ nodes. In this setting, initially the edge-set $E$ of the graph is empty. Subsequently, at each time-step an…
The chromatic edge-stability number ${\rm es}_{\chi}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a spanning subgraph $G'$ with $\chi(G')=\chi(G)-1$. Edge-stability critical graphs are introduced as the graphs…
For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_{2}(G)$ be the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices in $G$. A chord of a cycle in a graph $G$ is an edge of $G$ joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove the following…
An edge of a graph of order $n$ is pancyclic if it lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. A graph of order $n$ is vertex-pancyclic if every vertex lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. Recently, Li and Zhan proved that every…
A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t.$ An edge $e$ in a graph $G$ of order $n$ is called pancyclic if for every integer $k$ with $3\le k\le n,$ $e$ lies in a $k$-cycle. We…
The critical group of a graph is a finite abelian group whose order is the number of spanning forests of the graph. For a graph G with a certain reflective symmetry, we generalize a result of Ciucu-Yan-Zhang factorizing the spanning tree…
The edges surrounding a face of a map $M$ form a cycle $C$, called the boundary cycle of the face, and $C$ is often not a simple cycle. If the map $M$ is arc-transitive, then there is a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms of $M$ which leaves…
A scramble on a connected multigraph is a collection of connected subgraphs that generalizes the notion of a bramble. The maximum order of a scramble, called the scramble number of a graph, was recently developed as a tool for lower…
Cyclically ordered graphs, or cogs, sit between abstract graphs and cellularly embedded graphs. They arise naturally in topological graph theory, knot theory, and mathematical biology. We develop a formal theory of cogs and establish a…
An ordered graph $G$ is a graph whose vertex set is a subset of integers. The edges are interpreted as tuples $(u,v)$ with $u < v$. For a positive integer $s$, a matrix $M \in \mathbb{Z}^{s \times 4}$, and a vector $\mathbf{p} =…
A set S is independent in a graph G if no two vertices from S are adjacent. By core(G) we mean the intersection of all maximum independent sets. The independence number alpha(G) is the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while mu(G)…
A directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) is pseudo-transitive with respect to a given subset of edges E1, if for any edge ab in E1 and any edge bc in E, we have ac in E. We give algorithms for computing longest chains and demonstrate geometric…
