A typical result in graph theory says that a graph $G$, satisfying certain conditions, has some property $\cal P$. Once such a theorem is established, it is natural to ask how strongly $G$ satisfies $\cal P$. Can one strengthen the result…

The total irregularity of a graph $G$ is defined as $\irr_t(G)=1/2 \sum_{u,v \in V(G)}$ $|d_G(u)-d_G(v)|$, where $d_G(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u \in V(G)$. In this paper we give (sharp) upper bounds on the total irregularity of…

A graph homomorphism is a vertex map which carries edges from a source graph to edges in a target graph. The instances of the Weighted Maximum H-Colourable Subgraph problem (MAX H-COL) are edge-weighted graphs G and the objective is to find…

The resistance $r(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges that have to be removed from $G$ to obtain a graph which is $\Delta(G)$-edge-colorable. The paper relates the resistance to other parameters that measure how far is a graph…

This paper studies questions about duality between crossings and non-crossings in graph drawings via the notions of thickness and antithickness. The "thickness" of a graph $G$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that in some drawing of $G$, the…

Given a hypergraph H(V;E), a set of vertices S in V is a vertex cover if every edge has at least a vertex in S. The vertex cover number is the minimum cardinality of a vertex cover, denoted by t(H). In this paper, we prove that for every 3…

The colouring number col(G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k for which there is an ordering of the vertices of G such that when removing the vertices of G in the specified order no vertex of degree more than k-1 in the remaining graph…

For a graph $G$ the imbalance of an edge $uv$ of $G$ is $|deg_G(u)-deg_G(v)|$. Irregularity of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. In this paper we consider expansions and Pell graphs. If $H$ is an…

The geometric thickness of a graph G is the minimum integer k such that there is a straight line drawing of G with its edge set partitioned into k plane subgraphs. Eppstein [Separating thickness from geometric thickness. In: Towards a…

Consider a simple graph $G$. We call a labeling $w:E(G)\cup V(G)\rightarrow \{1, 2, \dots, s\}$ (\textit{total vertex}) \textit{product-irregular}, if all product degrees $pd_G(v)$ induced by this labeling are distinct, where…

A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…

Let $m:=|E(G)|$ sufficiently large and $s:=(m-1)/3$. We show that unless the maximum degree $\Delta > 2s$, there is a weighting $w:E\cup V\to \{0,1,...,s\}$ so that $w(uv)+w(u)+w(v)\ne w(u'v')+w(u')+w(v')$ whenever $uv\ne u'v'$ (such a…

A good edge-labeling of a graph [Ara\'ujo, Cohen, Giroire, Havet, Discrete Appl. Math., forthcoming] is an assignment of numbers to the edges such that for no pair of vertices, there exist two non-decreasing paths. In this paper, we study…

We consider Stanley--Reisner rings $k[x_1,...,x_n]/I(\mc{H})$ where $I(\mc{H})$ is the edge ideal associated to some particular classes of hypergraphs. For instance, we consider hypergraphs that are natural generalizations of graphs that…

Let $G$ be a graph and $I(G)$ its edge ideal. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the graphs $G$ for which $\reg(R/I(G)) = 3$.

Albertson defined the irregularity of a graph $G$ as $irr(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}|d_G(u)-d_G(v)|$. For a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, maximum degree $\Delta$, and $d=\left\lfloor \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta n-m}\right\rfloor$, we…

We describe a data structure that maintains the number of triangles in a dynamic undirected graph, subject to insertions and deletions of edges and of degree-zero vertices. More generally it can be used to maintain the number of copies of…

We consider the problem of determining the maximum induced density of a graph H in any graph on n vertices. The limit of this density as n tends to infinity is called the inducibility of H. The exact value of this quantity is known only for…

Assessing and improving the robustness of a graph $G$ are critical steps in network design and analysis. To this end, we consider the optimisation problem of removing $k$ edges from $G$ such that the resulting graph has minimal robustness,…

For an arbitrary invariant $\rho (G)$ of a graph $G$, the $\rho-$vertex stability number $vs_{\rho}(G)$ is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ whose removal results in a graph $H\subseteq G$ with $\rho (H)\neq \rho (G)$ or with…
