Let $G$ be a simple graph with order $n$, maximum degree $\D(G)$, minimum degree $\delta(G)$ and chromatic index $\chi'(G)$, respectively. A graph $G$ is called {\em $\D$-critical} if $\chi'(G)=\D(G)+1$ and $\chi'(H)\textless \chi'(G)$ for…

Given a graph $H$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We make progress on a recent conjecture of Conlon, Janzer, and Lee on the Tur\'an numbers of bipartite graphs, which in…

A cut in a digraph $D=(V,A)$ is a set of arcs $\{uv \in A: u\in U, v\notin U\}$, for some $U\subseteq V$. It is known that the arc set $A$ is covered by $k$ cuts if and only if it admits a $k$-coloring such that no two consecutive arcs $uv,…

Let $K_{m}-H$ be the graph obtained from $K_{m}$ by removing the edges set $E(H)$ of the graph $H$ ($H$ is a subgraph of $K_{m}$). We use the symbol $Z_4$ to denote $K_4-P_2.$ A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_{m}-H$-graphical if it has a…

A graph is called $k$-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the nodes of the graph, each node occurring exactly $k$ times, such that there is an edge between two nodes $x,y$ if and only after removing all letters distinct from…

In 2022, Hamid Reza Daneshpajouh provided some counterexamples to the following conjecture of Florian Frick. \bf Conjecture. Let $r \geq 3$. Then, every hypergraph ${\cal G}$ over the ground set $[n]$ satisfies $$ \chi \left({\rm KG}^r…

A recent result by Kardo\v{s}, M\'a\v{c}ajov\'a and Zerafa [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B. 160 (2023) 1--14] related to the famous Berge-Fulkerson conjecture implies that given an arbitrary set of odd pairwise edge-disjoint cycles, say $\mathcal…

We study the following two functions: d(n,c) and $\vec{d}(n,c)$; d(n,c) ($\vec{d}(n,c)$) is the minimum number k such that every c-edge-colored undirected (directed) graph of order n and minimum monochromatic degree (out-degree) at least k…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph. For an integer $k\geq 1$, a $k$-arc-connected flip is an arc subset of $D$ such that after reversing the arcs in it the digraph becomes (strongly) $k$-arc-connected. The first main result of this paper introduces…

We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…

The Strong Nine Dragon Tree Conjecture asserts that for any integers $k$ and $d$ any graph with fractional arboricity at most $k + \frac{d}{d+k+1}$ decomposes into $k+1$ forests, such that for at least one of the forests, every connected…

Let $k,p,q$ be three positive integers. A graph $G$ with order $n$ is said to be $k$-placeable if there are $k$ edge disjoint copies of $G$ in the complete graph on $n$ vertices. A $(p,\,q)$-graph is a graph of order $p$ with $q$ edges.…

For integers $k$ and $\ell$, let $\operatorname{ind}(k, \ell)$ be the maximum proportion of $k$-vertex subsets of a large graph that induce exactly $\ell$ edges. The edge-statistics theorem (conjectured by Alon-Hefetz-Krivelevich-Tyomkyn,…

We deal with $r$-regular bipartite graphs with $2n$ vertices. In a previous paper, Butera, Pernici and the author have introduced a quantity $u(i)$, $u(i) = -\ln(i!m\_i)$, a function of the number of $i$-matchings, $m\_i$, and conjectured…
