Vizing and Gupta showed that the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is bounded above by $\Delta(G) + \mu(G)$, where $\Delta(G)$ and $\mu(G)$ denote the maximum degree and the maximum multiplicity of $G$, respectively. Steffen refined…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with irregularity q>=2 and let C be an irreducible curve of geometric genus g contained in S. Assume that C is "Albanese defective", i.e., that the image of C via the Albanese map does not…

The immersion-analogue of Hadwiger's Conjecture states that every graph $G$ contains an immersion of $K_{\chi(G)}$. This conjecture has been recently strengthened in the following way: every graph $G$ contains a totally odd immersion of…

Let $G$ be a finite graph and $K[G]$ the edge ring of $G$. Based on the technique of Gr\"obner bases and initial ideals, it will be proved that, given integers $f$ and $d$ with $7 \leq f \leq d$, there exists a finite graph $G$ on…

This paper considers affine analogues of the isoperimetric inequality in the sense of piecewise linear topology. Given a closed polygon P embedded in R^d having n edges, we give upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of triangles…

Alspach [ Bull. Inst. Combin. Appl., 52 (2008), pp. 7-20] defined the maximal matching sequencibility of a graph $G$, denoted $ms(G)$, to be the largest integer $s$ for which there is an ordering of the edges of $G$ such that every $s$…

As part of the graph minor project, Robertson and Seymour showed in 1990 that the class of graphs that can be embedded in a given surface can be characterized by a finite set of minimal excluded minors. However, their proof, because…

We consider seven fundamental properties of cellular embeddings of graphs in compact surfaces, and show that each property can be associated with a point of the Fano plane $F$, in such a way that allowable combinations of properties…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $I := I (G)$ be its edge ideal. In this paper, we provide an upper bound of $n$ from which $\depth R/ I(G)^n$ is stationary, and compute this limit explicitly. This bound is always achieved if $G$ has no cycles of…

The least $k$ admitting a proper edge colouring $c:E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ without isolated edges such that $\sum_{e\ni u}c(e)\neq \sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$ for every $uv\in E$ is denoted by $\chi'_{\Sigma}(G)$. It has been…

Let $G$ be a cubic graph and $\Pi$ be a polyhedral embedding of this graph. The extended graph, $G^{e},$ of $\Pi$ is the graph whose set of vertices is $V(G^{e})=V(G)$ and whose set of edges $E(G^{e})$ is equal to $E(G) \cup \mathcal{S}$,…

Dumas, Foucaud, Perez, and Todinca [SIAM J. Disc. Math., 2024] proved that if the vertex set of a graph $G$ can be covered by $k$ shortest paths, then the pathwidth of $G$ is bounded by $\mathcal{O}(k \cdot 3^k)$. We prove a coarse variant…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…

Given a graph G of order n and size m, let s(G)= sum|d(u)-2m/n|, where the sum is taken over all vertices u of G. We investigate upper and lower bounds on eigenvalues of G in terms of s(G).

We prove that for every integer $t\geq 1$, the class of intersection graphs of curves in the plane each of which crosses a fixed curve in at least one and at most $t$ points is $\chi$-bounded. This is essentially the strongest…

We give a formula for the v-number of a graded ideal that can be used to compute this number. Then we show that for the edge ideal $I(G)$ of a graph $G$ the induced matching number of $G$ is an upper bound for the v-number of $I(G)$ when…

The purpose of this article is to improve existing lower bounds on the chromatic number chi. Let mu_1,...,mu_n be the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix sorted in non-increasing order. First, we prove the lower bound chi >= 1 + max_m…

Let $\chi(G)$ denote the chromatic number of a graph and $\chi_v(G)$ denote the vector chromatic number. For all graphs $\chi_v(G) \le \chi(G)$ and for some graphs $\chi_v(G) \ll \chi(G)$. Galtman proved that Hoffman's well-known lower…

A graph is locally irregular if no two adjacent vertices have the same degree. The irregular chromatic index $\chi_{\rm irr}'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of locally irregular subgraphs needed to edge-decompose $G$. Not all…

Any closed, connected Riemannian manifold $M$ can be smoothly embedded by its Laplacian eigenfunction maps into $\mathbb{R}^m$ for some $m$. We call the smallest such $m$ the maximal embedding dimension of $M$. We show that the maximal…
