Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…

Let $t>0$ be a real number and $G$ be a graph. We say $G$ is $t$-tough if for every cutset $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$. Determining toughness is an NP-hard problem for arbitrary…

The $k$-expansion of a graph $G$ is the $k$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by adding $k-2$ new vertices to every edge. We determine, for all $k > d \geq 1$, asymptotically optimal $d$-degree conditions that ensure the existence of all…

The notion of friendliness between trees first appeared in solution of Lando's problem on intersection of polyhedra in 3-space. A tree is friendly to a path graph if edges of the tree can be numbered so that for each k,s the path between…

A famous conjecture of Sidorenko and Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits states that if H is a bipartite graph then the random graph with edge density p has in expectation asymptotically the minimum number of copies of H over all graphs of the same order…

In this paper, we address the Ehrenborg's conjecture which proposes that for any bipartite graph the number of spanning trees does not exceed the product of the degrees of the vertices divided by the product of the sizes of the graph…

Suppose that the edges of a complete graph are assigned weights independently at random and we ask for the weight of the minimal-weight spanning tree, or perfect matching, or Hamiltonian cycle. For these and several other common…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in $H$ with degree sum at least $n$ in $G$. We say that $G$ is $H$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic…

The Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize the number of edges over all graphs which do not contain fixed subgraphs. Similarly, the spectral Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize spectral radius of all graphs which do not…

The closure of a graph $G$ is the graph $G^*$ obtained from $G$ by repeatedly adding edges between pairs of non-adjacent vertices whose degree sum is at least $n$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of $G$. The well-known Closure Lemma…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a fixed family of graphs on vertex set $V$ and $\mathcal{G}$ be a collection of elements in $\mathcal{S}$. We investigated the transversal problem of finding the maximum value of $|\mathcal{G}|$ when $\mathcal{G}$…

Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructible if they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured…

In this note, we give answers to three questions from the paper [A. Das, Triameter of graphs, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory, 41 (2021), 601--616]. Namely, we obtain a tight lower bound for the triameter of trees in terms of order and number…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph without loops and multiple edges on $v\ge 4$ vertices, which can be drawn on the plane such that any edge intersects at most one other edge. We prove that such graph has at most $3v-8$ edges for even $v\ne 6$…

We show that for all $k\geq 4$, $\varepsilon >0$, and $n$ sufficiently large, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices in which each set of $k-3$ vertices is contained in at least $(5/8 + \varepsilon) \binom{n}{3}$ edges contains a…

For integer $k\geq2,$ a graph $G$ is called $k$-leaf-connected if $|V(G)|\geq k+1$ and given any subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|=k,$ $G$ always has a spanning tree $T$ such that $S$ is precisely the set of leaves of $T.$ Thus a graph is…

Fix $\varepsilon >0$ and consider a multipartite graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $(1-\varepsilon)n$, parts $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ of the same size $n$, and where every vertex has at most $o(n)$ neighbors in any part $V_i$. Loh and Sudakov…

Deciding whether a graph can be embedded in a grid using only unit-length edges is NP-complete, even when restricted to binary trees. However, it is not difficult to devise a number of graph classes for which the problem is polynomial, even…

The problem of determining the smallest number of edges, $h(n;\bar{\kappa}\geq r)$, which guarantees that any graph with $n$ vertices and $h(n;\bar{\kappa}\geq r)$ edges will contain a pair of vertices joined by $r$ internally disjoint…
