IC-planar graphs are those graphs that admit a drawing where no two crossed edges share an end-vertex and each edge is crossed at most once. They are a proper subfamily of the 1-planar graphs. Given an embedded IC-planar graph $G$ with $n$…
A graph is an opposition graph, respectively, a coalition graph, if it admits an acyclic orientation which puts the two end-edges of every chordless 4-vertex path in opposition, respectively, in the same direction. Opposition and coalition…
We characterise the quartic (i.e. 4-regular) multigraphs with the property that every edge lies in a triangle. The main result is that such graphs are either squares of cycles, line multigraphs of cubic multigraphs, or are obtained from…
A graph is a structure composed of a set of vertices (i.e.nodes, dots) connected to one another by a set of edges (i.e.links, lines). The concept of a graph has been around since the late 19$^\text{th}$ century, however, only in recent…
The decycling number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in an acyclic subgraph. It is known that determining the decycling number of a graph $G$ is equivalent to finding the maximum induced…
The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is a graph with group elements as vertex set and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The order supergraph $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of the power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is a graph with vertex set…
A Stick graph G=(A\cup B, E) is the intersection graph of a set A of horizontal segments and a set B of vertical segments in the plane, whose left and respectively bottom endpoints lie on the same ground line with slope -1. These endpoints…
Galinier, Habib, and Paul introduced the reduced clique graph of a chordal graph $G$. The nodes of the reduced clique graph are the maximal cliques of $G$, and two nodes are joined by an edge if and only if they form a non-disjoint…
An edge-coloured cycle is rainbow if the edges have distinct colours. Let $G$ be a graph such that any $k$ vertices lie in a cycle of $G$. The $k$-rainbow cycle index of $G$, denoted by $crx_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colours required…
A set of edges $X\subseteq E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is an edge general position set if no three edges from $X$ lie on a common shortest path. The edge general position number ${\rm gp}_{\rm e}(G)$ of $G$ is the cardinality of a largest edge…
A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t.$ We prove that every $2$-connected $[4,2]$-graph of order at least $7$ is pancyclic. This strengthens existing results. There are…
A monotone drawing of a graph G is a straight-line drawing of G such that every pair of vertices is connected by a path that is monotone with respect to some direction. Trees, as a special class of graphs, have been the focus of several…
Let $C_{k_1}, \ldots, C_{k_n}$ be cycles with $k_i\geq 2$ vertices ($1\le i\le n$). By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a linear order, we obtain a graph called a polygon chain. By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a cyclic…
The average order of the connected induced subgraphs of a graph $G$ is called the mean connected induced subgraph (CIS) order of $G$. This is an extension of the mean subtree order of a tree, first studied by Jamison. In this article, we…
Given a finite, simple graph $G$, the $k$-component order edge connectivity of $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a subgraph for which every component has order at most $k-1$. In general, determining the…
A complete subgraph of a given graph is called a clique. A clique Polynomial of a graph is a generating function of the number of cliques in $G$. A real root of the clique polynomial of a graph $G$ is called a \emph{clique root} of $G$. \\…
Nested graphs have been used in different applications, for example to represent knowledge in semantic networks. On the other hand, graphs with cycles are really important in surface reconstruction, periodic schedule and network analysis.…
As a vital link between group theory and graph theory, Cayley graphs provide a geometric framework for encoding algebraic structures. This study explores the properties of Cayley graphs derived from cyclic groups whose order is the square…
An (edge) decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$ whose edge sets partition the edge set of $G$. Here we show, for each odd $\ell \geq 5$, that any graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with minimum degree at least…
The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…
