We show that for a graph $G$ with the vertex set $V$ and the largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}(G)$, letting $$ M(G) := \max_{X,Y \subset V} \frac{e(X,Y)}{\sqrt{|X||Y|}} $$ (where $e(X,Y)$ denotes the number of edges between $X$ and $Y$),…

Let $G$ be a connected nonregular graphs of order $n$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ that attains the maximum spectral radius. Liu and Li (2008) proposed a conjecture stating that $G$ has a degree sequence $(\Delta,\ldots,\Delta,\delta)$ with…

In this paper we prove the conjectured upper bound for Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals posed in [23], in the case of chordal graphs. Indeed, we show that the regularity of any chordal graph G is bounded above by the…

For a graph $G$ of order $n$, let $$ \lambda_1(G)\ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n(G) $$ be the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We prove that every graph $G$ on $n\ge 3$ vertices satisfies $$ \lambda_3(G)\le \frac{n}{3}-1, $$ thereby solving a…

Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits asked the following question: For an integer $r\geq 2$ and a family of non-bipartite graphs $\mathcal{H}$, determine the infimum of $\alpha$ such that any $\mathcal{H}$-free $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at…

Let $H\xrightarrow{s} G$ denote that any $s$-coloring of $E(H)$ contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted by $R_\Delta(G, s)$, is $\min \{\Delta(H): H \xrightarrow{s} G \}$. We consider degree Ramsey…

We call a graph H Ramsey-unsaturated if there is an edge in the complement of H such that the Ramsey number r(H) of H does not change upon adding it to H. This notion was introduced by Balister, Lehel and Schelp who also proved that cycles…

The classical spectral Tur\'{a}n problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph of order $n$. Zhai and Wang [Linear Algebra Appl, 437 (2012) 1641-1647] determined the maximum spectral radius of…

Given a graph $G$, the percolated graph $G_p$ has each edge independently retained with probability $p$. Collares, Diskin, Erde, and Krivelevich initiated the study of large structures in percolated single-scale vertex expander graphs,…

In 1959, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai established two classic theorems, which determine the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no cycles of length at least $k$, and in an $n$-vertex graph with no paths on $k$ vertices,…

We show that every $4$-chromatic graph on $n$ vertices, with no two vertex-disjoint odd cycles, has an odd cycle of length at most $\tfrac12\,(1+\sqrt{8n-7})$. Let $G$ be a non-bipartite quadrangulation of the projective plane on $n$…

A theorem of Nosal and Nikiforov states that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with $m$ edges, then $\lambda (G)\le \sqrt{m}$, where the equality holds if and only if $G$ is a complete bipartite graph. A well-known spectral conjecture of…

We study the class of simple graphs $\mathcal{G}^*$ for which every pair of distinct odd cycles intersect in at most one edge. We give a structural characterization of the graphs in $\mathcal{G}^*$ and prove that every $G \in \mathcal{G}^*$…

Hajos' conjecture that every simple even graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $(n-1)/2$ cycles (see L. Lovasz, On covering of graphs, in: P. Erdos, G.O.H. Katona (Eds.), Theory of Graphs, Academic Press, New York, 1968, pp.…

For a sequence $(H_i)_{i=1}^k$ of graphs, let $\textrm{nim}(n;H_1,\ldots, H_k)$ denote the maximum number of edges not contained in any monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$, for any colour $i$, over all $k$-edge-colourings of~$K_n$.…

The energy of a simple graph $G$, denoted by $E(G)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Let $C_n$ denote the cycle of order $n$ and $P^{6,6}_n$ the graph obtained from joining two cycles…

Let $c$ denote the largest constant such that every $C_{6}$-free graph $G$ contains a bipartite and $C_4$-free subgraph having $c$ fraction of edges of $G$. Gy\H{o}ri et al. showed that $\frac{3}{8} \le c \le \frac{2}{5}$. We prove that…

In this paper, we prove that for every $k$ and every graph $H$ with $m$ edges and no isolated vertices, the Ramsey number $R(C_k,H)$ is at most $2m+\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2} \rfloor$, provided $m$ is sufficiently large with respect to $k$. This…

A cycle $C$ of a graph $G$ is \emph{isolating} if every component of $G-V(C)$ is a single vertex. We show that isolating cycles in polyhedral graphs can be extended to larger ones: every isolating cycle $C$ of length $6 \leq |E(C)| < \left…

In this paper, we extend and refine previous Tur\'an-type results on graphs with a given circumference. Let $W_{n,k,c}$ be the graph obtained from a clique $K_{c-k+1}$ by adding $n-(c-k+1)$ isolated vertices each joined to the same $k$…
