A k-tree is either a complete graph on (k+1) vertices or given a k-tree G' with n vertices, a k-tree G with (n+1) vertices can be constructed by introducing a new vertex v and picking a k-clique Q in G' and then joining each vertex u in Q.…

The Ramsey's theorem says that a graph with sufficiently many vertices contains a clique or stable set with many vertices. Now we attach some parameter to every vertex, such as degree. Consider the case a graph with sufficiently many…

A $\mathbb{T}$-gain graph is a simple graph in which a unit complex number is assigned to each orientation of an edge, and its inverse is assigned to the opposite orientation. The associated adjacency matrix is defined canonically, and is…

A greedy embedding of a graph $G = (V,E)$ into a metric space $(X,d)$ is a function $x : V(G) \to X$ such that in the embedding for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x(s), x(t)$ there exists another vertex $x(u)$ adjacent to $x(s)$ which…

A numbering $f$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a labeling that assigns distinct elements of the set $\left\{ 1,2,\ldots ,n\right\} $ to the vertices of $G$, where each $uv\in E\left( G\right) $ is labeled $f\left( u\right) +f\left( v\right)…

For every graph $G$, let $\alpha(G)$ denote its independence number. What is the minimum of the maximum degree of an induced subgraph of $G$ with $\alpha(G)+1$ vertices? We study this question for the $n$-dimensional Hamming graph over an…

Four algorithms giving rise to graceful graphs from a known (non)graceful graph are described. Some necessary conditions for a graph to be highly graceful and critical are given. Finally some conjectures are made on graceful, critical and…

The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…

One theorem of Nemhauser and Trotter ensures that, under certain conditions, a stable set of a graph G can be enlarged to a maximum stable set of this graph. For example, any stable set consisting of only simplicial vertices is contained in…

For any integer $k\geq1,$ a graph $G$ has a $k$-factor if it contains a $k$-regular spanning subgraph. In this paper we prove a sufficient condition in terms of the number of $r$-cliques to guarantee the existence of a $k$-factor in a graph…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph is called a {\it proper tree} if no two adjacent edges of $T$ receive the same color. Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and $k$ be an integer with $2\leq k \leq n$. For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|…

If a graph $G$ can be embedded on the torus, and be embedded linklessly in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it's not known whether or not we can always find a linkless embedding of $G$ contained in the standard (unknotted) torus; We show that, for orders 9…

A tree in an edge-colored connected graph $G$ is called \emph{a rainbow tree} if no two edges of it are assigned the same color. For a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$, a tree is called an \emph{$S$-tree} if it connects $S$ in $G$. A…

Recently, Gutman [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 86 (2021) 11-16] defined a new graph invariant which is named the Sombor index $\mathrm{SO}(G)$ of a graph $G$ and is computed via the expression \[ \mathrm{SO}(G) = \sum_{u \sim v}…

Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors distributed exponentially with parameter $\lam .$ For each $y$ and $n\geq 1,$ form a graph $G_n(y)$ with vertex set $V_n = \{X_1,...,X_n\},$ two vertices are connected if…

For a graph $G$, the tree graph ${\cal T}_{G,t}$ has all tree subgraphs of $G$ with $t$ vertices as vertex set and two tree subgraphs are neighbors if they are edge-disjoint. Also, the $r^{th}$ cut number of $G$ is the minimum number of…

A signed tree-coloring of a signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a vertex coloring $c$ so that $G^{c}(i,\pm)$ is a forest for every $i\in c(u)$ and $u\in V(G)$, where $G^{c}(i,\pm)$ is the subgraph of $(G,\sigma)$ whose vertex set is the set of…

In this paper we show that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any graph $G$ on $Ck\ln k$ vertices either $G$ or its complement $\bar{G}$ has an induced subgraph on $k$ vertices with minimum degree at least $\frac12(k-1)$. This…

Ramsey's Theorem states that a graph $G$ has bounded order if and only if $G$ contains no complete graph $K_n$ or empty graph $E_n$ as its induced subgraph. The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that a graph $G$ has bounded chromatic…

A random 2-cell embedding of a connected graph $G$ in some orientable surface is obtained by choosing a random local rotation around each vertex. Under this setup, the number of faces or the genus of the corresponding 2-cell embedding…
