An edge labeling of a connected graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be local antimagic if there is a bijection $f:E \to\{1,\ldots ,|E|\}$ such that for any pair of adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, $f^+(x)\not= f^+(y)$, where the induced vertex…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. In this paper we characterize all trees with radius at most three…

We show that the edges of any graph $G$ containing two edge-disjoint spanning trees can be blue/red coloured so that the blue and red graphs are connected and the blue and red degrees at each vertex differ by at most four. This improves a…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ of order $p$ and size $q$ is said to be local antimagic if there exists a bijection $g:E(G) \to \{1,2,\ldots,q\}$ such that for any pair of adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$, $g^+(u)\ne g^+(v)$, where $g^+(u)=\sum_{uv\in…

This article studies a generalization of magic squares to $k$-uniform hypergraphs. In traditional magic squares the entries come from the natural numbers. A magic labeling of the vertices in a graph or hypergraph has since been generalized…

For a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the $k$-Bell colour graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the partitions of $V$ into at most $k$ independent sets, with two of these being adjacent if there exists a vertex $x$ such that…

Let $\overrightarrow{G}$ be an oriented graph with the vertex set $V(\overrightarrow{G})$ and the arc set $A(\overrightarrow{G})$. Suppose that $D\subseteq \{0,1,\dots,\partial \}$ is a distance set where $\partial=\max…

We prove that for all $0\leq t\leq k$ and $d\geq 2k$, every graph $G$ with treewidth at most $k$ has a `large' induced subgraph $H$, where $H$ has treewidth at most $t$ and every vertex in $H$ has degree at most $d$ in $G$. The order of $H$…

The goal of this work is to give precise bounds on the counting complexity of a family of generalized coloring problems (list homomorphisms) on bounded-treewidth graphs. Given graphs $G$, $H$, and lists $L(v)\subseteq V(H)$ for every $v\in…

A mixed graph $G$ is a graph obtained from a simple undirected graph by orientating a subset of edges. $G$ is self-converse if it is isomorphic to the graph obtained from $G$ by reversing each directed edge. For two mixed graphs $G$ and $H$…

Completely independent spanning trees in a graph $G$ are spanning trees of $G$ such that for any two distinct vertices of $G$, the paths between them in the spanning trees are pairwise edge-disjoint and internally vertex-disjoint. In this…

The Gyarfas-Sumner conjecture asserts that if H is a tree then every graph with bounded clique number and very large chromatic number contains H as an induced subgraph. This is still open, although it has been proved for a few simple…

The square of a connected graph $G$ is obtained from $G$ by adding an edge between every pair of vertices at distance $2$. In this paper we give some upper or lower bounds for the spectral radius of the square of connected graphs, trees and…

A famous conjecture by Itai and Zehavi states that, for every $d$-vertex-connected graph $G$ and every vertex $r$ in $G$, there are $d$ spanning trees of $G$ such that, for every vertex $v$ in $G\setminus \{r\}$, the paths between $r$ and…

For a $hypergraph$ $\mathcal{G}=(V, E)$ consisting of a nonempty vertex set $V=V(\mathcal{G})$ and an edge set $E=E(\mathcal{G})$, its $adjacency$ $matrix$ $\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}}=[(\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}})_{ij}]$ is defined as…

A path in an edge-colored graph, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is a rainbow path if no two edges of it are colored the same. For any two vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$, a rainbow $u-v$ geodesic in $G$ is a rainbow $u-v$ path of…
