Let $G$ be a unicyclic graph of order $n$, and let $k$ be the length of the unique cycle of $G$. For the adjacency eigenvalues of $G$, let $s^{+}(G)$ and $s^{-}(G)$ denote the sums of the squares of the positive and negative eigenvalues,…

A bipartite graph on 2n vertices is bipancyclic if it contains cycles of all even lengths from 4 to 2n. In this paper we prove that the random bipartite graph $G(n,n,p)$ with $p(n)\gg n^{-2/3}$ asymptotically almost surely has the following…

In a 2016 ArXiv posting F. Bergeron listed a variety of symmetric functions $G[X;q]$ with the property that $G[X;1+q]$ is $e$-positive. A large subvariety of his examples could be explained by the conjecture that the Dyck path LLT…

A graph G=(V,E) is a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree T and two non-negative real numbers `d' and `D' such that each leaf `u' of T is a node of V and the edge `(u,v) belongs to E' iff `d <= d_T(u, v)…

In this paper, we study the combinatorics of a subcomplex of the Bloch-Kriz cycle complex [4] used to construct the category of mixed Tate motives. The algebraic cycles we consider properly contain the subalgebra of cycles that correspond…

A chorded cycle in a graph $G$ is a cycle on which two nonadjacent vertices are adjacent in the graph $G$. In 2010, Gao and Qiao independently proved a graph of order at least $4s$, in which the neighborhood union of any two nonadjacent…

We give a characterization of when a signed graph $G$ with a pair of distinguished edges $e_1, e_2 \in E(G)$ has the property that all cycles containing both $e_1$ and $e_2$ have the same sign. This answers a question of Zaslavsky.

Let the matching polynomial of a graph $G$ be denoted by $\mu (G,x)$. A graph $G$ is said to be $\theta$-super positive if $\mu(G,\theta)\neq 0$ and $\mu(G\setminus v,\theta)=0$ for all $v\in V(G)$. In particular, $G$ is 0-super positive if…

The energy of a graph $G$ is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $s^+(G), s^-(G)$ denote the sum of the squares of the positive and negative eigenvalues of $G$, respectively. It was…

The notion of a Galvin orientation of a line graph is introduced, generalizing the idea used by Galvin in his landmark proof of the list-edge-colouring conjecture for bipartite graphs. If L(G) has a proper Galvin orientation with respect to…

An edge uv in a graph \Gamma\ is directionally 2-signed (or, (2,d)-signed) by an ordered pair (a,b), a,b in {+,-}, if the label l(uv) = (a,b) from u to v, and l(vu) = (b,a) from v to u. Directionally 2-signed graphs are equivalent to…
