In 2006 Bar{\'a}t and Thomassen conjectured that every planar $4$-edge-connected $4$-regular simple graph of size divisible by three admits a claw-decomposition. Later, Lai (2007) disproved this conjecture by a family of planar graphs with…

Perfect graphs form one of the distinguished classes of finite simple graphs. In 2006, Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas proved that a graph is perfect if and only if it has no odd holes and no odd antiholes as induced subgraphs,…

Among graphs with 13 edges, there are exactly three internally 4-connected graphs which are $Oct^{+}$, cube+e and $ K_{3,3} +v$. A complete characterization of all 4-connected graphs with no $Oct^{+}$-minor is given in [John Maharry, An…

Burr and Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1976 that for every two integers $k>\ell\geqslant 0$ satisfying that $k\mathbb{Z}+\ell$ contains an even integer, an $n$-vertex graph containing no cycles of length $\ell$ modulo $k$ can contain at most a…

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

We propose the following conjecture extending Dirac's theorem: if $G$ is a graph with $n\ge 3$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta(G)\ge n/2$, then in every orientation of $G$ there is a Hamilton cycle with at least $\delta(G)$ edges…

Reed conjectured that for every graph, $\chi \leq \left \lceil \frac{\Delta + \omega + 1}{2} \right \rceil$ holds, where $\chi$, $\omega$ and $\Delta$ denote the chromatic number, clique number and maximum degree of the graph, respectively.…

We investigate a combinatorial reconfiguration problem on oriented graphs, where a reconfiguration step (edge-flip) is the inversion of the orientation of a single edge. A recently published conjecture that is relevant to the correctness of…

In this paper, we obtained that every 5-regular graph admits a zero-sum 3-magic labeling, which give an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed by Saieed Akbari, Farhad Rahmati and Sanaz Zare in $Electron.$ $J.$ $Combin.$.

A conjecture of Carsten Thomassen states that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. It is known that the conjecture is true for 7-connected line graphs. We improve this by showing that any 5-connected line graph of minimum degree at…

A conjecture of Berge suggests that every bridgeless cubic graph can have its edges covered with at most five perfect matchings. Since three perfect matchings suffice only when the graph in question is $3$-edge-colourable, the rest of cubic…

It is proved that there exists an absolute constant c > 0 such that for every natural number k, every non-bipartite 2-connected graph with average degree at least ck contains k cycles with consecutive odd lengths. This implies the existence…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one another edge. In this work we prove that each 1-planar graph of minimum degree at least $3$ contains an edge with degrees of its endvertices of…

Considering regular graphs with every edge in a triangle we prove lower bounds for the number of triangles in such graphs. For r-regular graphs with r <= 5 we exhibit families of graphs with exactly that number of triangles and then…

We introduce the ``trivariate Tutte polynomial" of a signed graph as an invariant of signed graphs up to vertex switching that contains among its evaluations the number of proper colorings and the number of nowhere-zero flows. In this, it…

A function $f:N\rightarrow N$ is sublinear, if \[\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{f(x)}{x}=0.\] If $A$ is an Abelian group, $G$ is a graph and $\phi$ is an $A$-flow in $G$, then let $N(\phi)$ be the nullity of $\phi$, that is, the set of…

It is proven that for any integer $g \ge 0$ and $k \in \{ 0, \ldots, 10 \}$, there exist infinitely many 5-regular graphs of genus $g$ containing a 1-factorisation with exactly $k$ pairs of 1-factors that are perfect, i.e. form a…

A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…

Let $G$ be a (multi)graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. The maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted by $\kappa_G(u,v)$, and the maximum number of edge-disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted…

We prove that any \(2\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices with minimum degree \(\delta(G) \ge \frac{n}{4}+2\) contains a \(2\)-connected subgraph of order \(k\) for every integer \(k\) with \(4 \le k \le n\). This improves a previous…
