For two graphs $G,H$ and a positive integer $k$, the \emph{Gallai-Ramsey number} $\operatorname{gr}_k(G,H)$ is defined as the minimum number of vertices $n$ such that any $k$-edge-coloring of $K_n$ contains either a rainbow (all different…

The $r$-th iterated line graph $L^{r}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined by: (i) $L^{0}(G) = G$ and (ii) $L^{r}(G) = L(L^{(r- 1)}(G))$ for $r > 0$, where $L(G)$ denotes the line graph of $G$. The Hamiltonian Index $h(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest…

A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m+2n+2$ vertices is said to have property $E(m,n)$ if, for any two disjoint matchings $M$ and $N$ of size $m$ and $n$ respectively, $G$ has a perfect matching $F$ such that $M\subseteq F$ and $N\cap…

The anti-Ramsey number, $ar(G, H)$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that in any edge colouring of $G$ with $k$ colours there is a rainbow subgraph isomorphic to $H$, i.e., a copy of $H$ with each of its edges assigned a different colour. The…

A distinguishing r-vertex-labelling (resp. r-edge-labelling) of an undirected graph G is a mapping $\lambda$ from the set of vertices (resp. the set of edges) of G to the set of labels {1,. .. , r} such that no non-trivial automorphism of G…

In 1980, Thomassen stated his weak linkage conjecture: for an odd positive integer k, if a graph G is k-edge-connected, then, for any collection of k pairs of vertices {s_1,t_1}, ..., {s_k,t_k} in G, not necessarily distinct, there are…

Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ is a {\it Berge}-$F$ if there is a bijection $f : E(F) \rightarrow E(H )$ such that $e \subseteq f(e)$ for every $e \in E(F)$. Note that Berge-$F$ actually denotes a class of hypergraphs. The…

We study the extremal problem that relates the spectral radius $\lambda (G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ with its number of edges. Firstly, we prove that for any graph $F$ with chromatic number $\chi (F)=r+1\ge 3$, if $G$ is an $F$-free graph…

Let $r,k,\ell$ be integers such that $0\le\ell\le\binom{k}{r}$. Given a large $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$, we consider the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets which span exactly $\ell$ edges. If $\ell$ is 0 or $\binom{k}{r}$, this fraction can be…

Confirming a conjecture of Elphick and Edwards and strengthening a spectral theorem of Wilf, Nikiforov proved that for any $K_{r+1}$-free graph $G$, $\lambda(G)^2 \leq 2 (1 - 1/r) m$, where $\lambda(G)$ is the spectral radius of $G$, and…

The line graph of a graph $G$ is the graph $L(G)$ whose vertex set is the edge set of $G$ and there is an edge between $e,f\in E(G)$ if $e$ and $f$ share an endpoint in $G$. A graph is called line graph if it is a line graph of some graph.…

Given a graph G=(V,E) with a label set L = {l_1, l_2, ..., l_q}, in which each edge has a label from L, a source s in V, and a sink t in V, the Min Label s-t Cut problem asks to pick a set L' subseteq L of labels with minimized cardinality,…

Let $f^{(r)}(n;s,k)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices in which every $k$ edges span more than $s$ vertices. Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'{o}s in 1973 conjectured that for every $k\geq 2$, the limit…

Generalizing well-known results of Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz, we show that every graph $G$ contains a spanning $k$-partite subgraph $H$ with $\lambda{}(H)\geq \lceil{}\frac{k-1}{k}\lambda{}(G)\rceil$, where $\lambda{}(G)$ is the…
