This paper is about: (1) bounds on the number of cliques in a graph in a particular class, and (2) algorithms for listing all cliques in a graph. We present a simple algorithm that lists all cliques in an $n$-vertex graph in O(n) time per…

The clique chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its vertices so that no inclusion-wise maximal clique which is not an isolated vertex is monochromatic. We show that every graph of maximum degree…

We study finding and listing $k$-cliques in a graph, for constant $k\geq 3$, a fundamental problem of both theoretical and practical importance. Our main contribution is a new output-sensitive algorithm for listing $k$-cliques in graphs,…

The monography presents a new algorithm for finding the clique of maximal length in a nonseparable graph. The algorithm is based on the properties of the representation of a clique as a subset of the set of cycles with a length of three,…

When searching for characteristic subpatterns in potentially noisy graph data, it appears self-evident that having multiple observations would be better than having just one. However, it turns out that the inconsistencies introduced when…

We show that a graph with $n$ vertices and vertex cover of size $k$ has at most $4^k + n$ potential maximal cliques. We also show that for each positive integer $k$, there exists a graph with vertex cover of size $k$, $O(k^2)$ vertices, and…

We consider the question of how many edge-disjoint near-maximal cliques may be found in the dense Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. Recently Acan and Kahn showed that the largest such family contains only $O(n^2/(\log{n})^3)$…

The maximum labelled clique problem is a variant of the maximum clique problem where edges in the graph are given labels, and we are not allowed to use more than a certain number of distinct labels in a solution. We introduce a new…

Erd\H{o}s determined the maximum size of a nonhamiltonian graph of order $n$ and minimum degree at least $k$ in 1962. Recently, Ning and Peng generalized. Erd\H{o}s' work and gave the maximum size $h(n,c,k)$ of graphs with prescribed order…

Define a boundary point of a graph which is embedded in the Euclidean plane a vertex which is incident to only one edge. In this paper we consider graphs which are embedded in the Euclidean plane with a finite number of boundary points. The…

The degree diameter problem asks for the maximum possible number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ and diameter $D$. In this paper, we focus on planar graphs of diameter $3$. Fellows, Hell and Seyffarth (1995) proved that…

Let $n, s$ be positive integers such that $n$ is sufficiently large and $s\le n/3$. Suppose $H$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph of order $n$. If $H$ contains no isolated vertex and $deg(u)+ deg(v) > 2(s-1)(n-1)$ for any two vertices $u$ and $v$…

A graph is $H$-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Brandst\"adt, Engelfriet, Le and Lozin proved that the class of chordal graphs with independence number at most 3 has unbounded clique-width. Brandst\"adt, Le and Mosca…

In 1966, Erd\H{o}s, Goodman, and P\'osa proved that $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ cliques are sufficient to cover all edges in any $n$-vertex graph, with tightness achieved by the balanced complete bipartite graph. This result was generalized by…

We prove that for each integer $r\geq 2$, there exists a constant $C_r>0$ with the following property: for any $0<\varepsilon \leq 1/2$ and any graph $G$ with clique number at most $r,$ there is a partition of $V(G)$ into at most…

In many proofs concerning extremal parameters of Berge hypergraphs one starts with analyzing that part of that shadow graph which is contained in many hyperedges. Capturing this phenomenon we introduce two new types of hypergraphs. A…

We give a uniform and self-contained proof that if $G$ is a connected graph with $\chi(G) = \Delta(G)$ and $G\neq \overline{C_7}$, then $G$ contains either $K_{\Delta(G)}$ or an odd hole where every vertex has degree at least $\Delta(G)-1$…
