A graph is called a $k$-planar unit distance graph if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is a unit line segment and is involved in at most $k$ crossings. We investigate $u_k(n)$, the maximum number of edges of such graphs on…

The degree sequence of a graph is the sequence of the degrees of its vertices. If $\pi$ is a degree sequence of a graph $G$, then $G$ is a realization of $\pi$ and $G$ realizes $\pi$. Determining when a sequence of positive integers is…

In this note, we fix a graph $H$ and ask into how many vertices can each vertex of a clique of size $n$ can be "split" such that the resulting graph is $H$-free. Formally: A graph is an $(n,k)$-graph if its vertex sets is a pairwise…

The minimum co-degree threshold for a perfect matching in a $k$-graph with $n$ vertices was determined by R\"odl, Ruci\'nski and Szemer\'edi for the case when $n\equiv 0\pmod k$. Recently, Han resolved the remaining cases when $n \not\equiv…

Threshold graphs are recursive deterministic network models that have been proposed for describing certain economic and social interactions. One drawback of this graph family is that it has limited generative attachment rules. To mitigate…

A $(\delta\geq k_1,\delta\geq k_2)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a vertex-partition $(V_1,V_2)$ of $G$ satisfying that $\delta(G[V_i])\geq k_i$ for $i=1,2$. We determine, for all positive integers $k_1,k_2$, the complexity of deciding…

A $k$-truss is an edge-induced subgraph $H$ such that each of its edges belongs to at least $k-2$ triangles of $H$. This notion has been introduced around ten years ago in social network analysis and security, as a form of cohesive subgraph…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $u$, $v$, and $w$ be vertices of $G$. If the distance between $u$ and $w$ does not equal the distance between $v$ and $w$, then $w$ is said to resolve $u$ and $v$. The metric dimension of $G$, denoted $\beta(G)$,…

Let $\mathrm{ch}(G)$ denote the choice number of a graph $G$, and let $K_{s*k}$ be the complete $k$-partite graph with $s$ vertices in each part. Erd\H{o}s, Rubin, and Taylor showed that $\mathrm{ch}( K_{2*k})=k$, and suggested the problem…

The problem of determining the optimal minimum degree condition for a balanced bipartite graph on 2ms vertices to contain m vertex disjoint copies of K_{s,s} was solved by Zhao. Later Hladk\'y and Schacht, and Czygrinow and DeBiasio…

A rectilinear drawing of a graph is a drawing of the graph in the plane in which the edges are drawn as straight-line segments. The rectilinear crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of pairs of edges that cross over all…

We study the problem of finding a minimum $k$-critical-bipartite graph of order $(n,m)$: a bipartite graph $G=(U,V;E)$, with $|U|=n$, $|V|=m$, and $n>m>1$, which is $k$-critical-bipartite, and the tuple $(|E|, \Delta_U, \Delta_V)$, where…

For any bipartite graph $H$, we determine a minimum degree threshold for a balanced bipartite graph $G$ to contain a perfect $H$-tiling. We show that this threshold is best possible up to a constant depending only on $H$. Additionally, we…

A tripartite-circle drawing of a tripartite graph is a drawing in the plane, where each part of a vertex partition is placed on one of three disjoint circles, and the edges do not cross the circles. We present upper and lower bounds on the…

In this note, we show that a complete $k$-partite graph is the only graph with clique number $k$ among all degree-equivalent simple graphs. This result gives a lower bound on the clique number, which is sharper than existing bounds on a…
