A proper edge coloring of a graph without any bichromatic cycles is said to be an acyclic edge coloring of the graph. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph $G$ denoted by $a'(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$ has an acyclic…

An antimagic {labeling} of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a one-to-one mapping $f: E\rightarrow\{1,2,\ldots,|E|\}$, ensuring that the vertex sums in $V$ are pairwise distinct, where a vertex sum of a vertex $v$ is defined as the sum of the labels of…

A homogeneous set of a graph $G$ is a set $X$ of vertices such that $2\le \lvert X\rvert <\lvert V(G)\rvert$ and no vertex in $V(G)-X$ has both a neighbor and a non-neighbor in $X$. A graph is prime if it has no homogeneous set. We present…

A vertex set $S$ is a generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ contains no tree on $k$ vertices. The generalized $k$-independence number $\alpha_k(G)$ is the maximum size of such a set. For a tree $T$ with $n$…

A topological graph is \emph{$k$-quasi-planar} if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A topological graph is \emph{simple} if every pair of its edges intersect at most once (either at a vertex or at their intersection). In…

The colouring number col(G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k for which there is an ordering of the vertices of G such that when removing the vertices of G in the specified order no vertex of degree more than k-1 in the remaining graph…

Let $g$ be a bounded symmetric measurable nonnegative function on $[0,1]^2$, and $\left\lVert g \right\rVert = \int_{[0,1]^2} g(x,y) dx dy$. For a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$, we define \[ t(G,g) \;…

Recently, Kostochka and Yancey proved that a conjecture of Ore is asymptotically true by showing that every $k$-critical graph satisfies $|E(G)|\geq\left\lceil\left(\frac{k}{2}-\frac{1}{k-1}\right)|V(G)|-\frac{k(k-3)}{2(k-1)}\right\rceil.$…

A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A, B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. It is easy…

Unigraphs are graphs uniquely determined by their own degree sequence up to isomorphism. There are many subclasses of unigraphs such as threshold graphs, split matrogenic graphs, matroidal graphs, and matrogenic graphs. Unigraphs and these…

A graph $G$ is geodetic if between any two vertices there exists a unique shortest path. In 1962 Ore raised the challenge to characterize geodetic graphs, but despite many attempts, such characterization still seems well beyond reach. We…

An $n$-vertex graph whose degree set consists of exactly $n-1$ elements is called antiregular graph. Such type of graphs are usually considered opposite to the regular graphs. An irregularity measure ($IM$) of a connected graph $G$ is a…

It is well known that a graph is bipartite if and only if the spectrum of its adjacency matrix is symmetric. In the present paper, this assertion is dissected into three separate matrix results of wider scope, which are extended also to…
