For a simple graph $G=(V,E)$, a \emph{proper total weighting} is a mapping $w: V\cup E\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that for every edge $uv\in E$, $w(u)+\sum_{e\ni u}w(e)\neq w(v)+\sum_{e\ni v}w(e)$. The graph $G$ is said…
We define the notion of a twisted topological graph algebra associated to a topological graph and a $1$-cocycle on its edge set. We prove a stronger version of a Vasselli's result. We expand Katsura's results to study twisted topological…
For two integers $k$ and $\ell$, an $(\ell \text{ mod }k)$-cycle means a cycle of length $m$ such that $m\equiv \ell\pmod{k}$. In 1977, Bollob\'{a}s proved a conjecture of Burr and Erd\H{o}s by showing that if $\ell$ is even or $k$ is odd,…
Hajos' conjecture that every simple even graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $(n-1)/2$ cycles (see L. Lovasz, On covering of graphs, in: P. Erdos, G.O.H. Katona (Eds.), Theory of Graphs, Academic Press, New York, 1968, pp.…
Answering a question of Diestel, we develop a topological notion of gammoids in infinite graphs which, unlike traditional infinite gammoids, always define a matroid. As our main tool, we prove for any infinite graph $G$ with vertex sets $A$…
In 1968, Erd\"os and Lov\'asz conjectured that for every graph $G$ and all integers $s,t\geq 2$ such that $s+t-1=\chi(G) > \omega(G)$, there exists a partition $(S,T)$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that $\chi(G|S)\geq s$ and $\chi(G|T)\geq…
A fundamental result in extremal graph theory is attributed to Mantel's theorem, which states that every graph on $n$ vertices with more than $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges must contain a triangle. Lov\'{a}sz and Simonovits (1975) provided a…
We show that for each $k\geq 4$ and $n>r\geq k+1$, every $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph with no Berge cycle of length at least $k$ has at most $\frac{(k-1)(n-1)}{r}$ edges. The bound is exact, and we describe the extremal hypergraphs.…
We show the quarter of a century old conjecture that every $K_4$-free graph with $n$ vertices and $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor +k$ edges contains $k$ pairwise edge disjoint triangles.
We consider a graph polynomial \xi(G;x,y,z) introduced by Averbouch, Godlin, and Makowsky (2007). This graph polynomial simultaneously generalizes the Tutte polynomial as well as a bivariate chromatic polynomial defined by Dohmen, Poenitz…
Mader proved that for $k\geq 2$ and $n\geq 2k$, every $n$-vertex graph with no $(k+1)$-connected subgraphs has at most $(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})k(n-k)$ edges. He also conjectured that for $n$ large with respect to $k$, every such graph has at…
A celebrated conjecture of Zs. Tuza says that in any (finite) graph, the minimum size of a cover of triangles by edges is at most twice the maximum size of a set of edge-disjoint triangles. Resolving a recent question of Bennett, Dudek, and…
In 1960 Nash-Williams proved that an edge-connectivity of 2k is sufficient for a finite graph to have a k-arc-connected orientation. He then conjectured that the same is true for infinite graphs. In 2016, Thomassen, using his own results on…
We prove the well-known Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture for hypergraphs of large uniformity in the following form: any dense linear $r$-graph $G$ has $k$ edges spanning at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices, provided the uniformity $r$ of $G$ is…
In [7], Higashitani, Kummer, and Micha{\l}ek pose a conjecture about the symmetric edge polytopes of complete multipartite graphs and confirm it for a number of families in the bipartite case. We confirm that conjecture for a number of new…
Scott proved in 1997 that for any tree $T$, every graph with bounded clique number which does not contain any subdivision of $T$ as an induced subgraph has bounded chromatic number. Scott also conjectured that the same should hold if $T$ is…
We derive precise asymptotic estimates for the number of labelled graphs not containing $K_{3,3}$ as a minor, and also for those which are edge maximal. Additionally, we establish limit laws for parameters in random $K_{3,3}$-minor-free…
A drawing of a graph in the plane is a thrackle if every pair of edges intersects exactly once, either at a common vertex or at a proper crossing. Conway's conjecture states that a thrackle has at most as many edges as vertices. In this…
Tutte conjectured in 1972 that every 4-edge connected graph has a nowhere-zero 3-flow. This has long been known to be equivalent to the conjecture that every 5-regular 4-edge-connected graph has an edge orientation in which every out-degree…
Petersen's seminal work in 1891 asserts that the edge-set of a cubic graph can be covered by distinct perfect matchings if and only if it is bridgeless. Actually, it is known that for a very large fraction of bridgeless cubic graphs, every…
