B. Bollob\'{a}s and G. Brightwell and independently R. Shi proved the existence of a cycle through all vertices whose degrees at least $\frac{n}{2}$ in any $2$-connected graph of order $n$. Motivated by this result, we prove the existence…

Take a graph $G$, an edge subset $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$, and a set of terminals $T\subseteq V(G)$ where $|T|$ is even. The triple $(G,\Sigma,T)$ is called a signed graft. A $T$-join is odd if it contains an odd number of edges from…

Let $D$ be a weighted oriented graph and $I(D)$ be its edge ideal. If $D$ contains an induced odd cycle of length $2n+1$, under certain condition we show that $ {I(D)}^{(n+1)} \neq {I(D)}^{n+1}$. We give necessary and sufficient condition…

An edge-colored graph is a graph in which each edge is assigned a color. Such a graph is called strongly edge-colored if each color class forms an induced matching, and called rainbow if all edges receive pairwise distinct colors. In this…

We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.

Let $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ be a hereditary graph class (i.e, every subgraph of $G_{\alpha}\in \mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ belongs to $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$) such that every graph $G_{\alpha}$ in $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ has minimum degree at most…

A signed graph $\Gamma$ is said to be determined by its spectrum if every signed graph with the same spectrum as $\Gamma$ is switching isomorphic with $\Gamma$. Here it is proved that the path $P_n$, interpreted as a signed graph, is…

A properly colored cycle (path) in an edge-colored graph is a cycle (path) with consecutive edges assigned distinct colors. A monochromatic triangle is a cycle of length $3$ with the edges assigned a same color. It is known that every…

We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We construct some families of bipartite signed graphs with only two distinct eigenvalues. This leads to constructing infinite families of regular…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph. A heterochromatic cycle of $G$ is one in which every two edges have different colors. For a vertex $v\in V(G)$, let $CN(v)$ denote the set of colors which are assigned to the edges incident to $v$. In this…

We prove that a random graph $G(n,p)$, with $p$ above the Hamiltonicity threshold, is typically such that for any $r$-colouring of its edges there exists a Hamilton cycle with at least $(2/(r+ 1)-o(1))n$ edges of the same colour. This…

We prove that a connected graph contains a circuit---a closed walk that repeats no edges---through any $k$ prescribed edges if and only if it contains no odd cut of size at most $k$.

Let $\Gamma(n,k)$ be the set of $2$-connected $n$-vertex graphs containing an edge that is not on any cycle of length at least $k+1.$ Let $g_s(n,k)$ denote the maximum number of $s$-cliques in a graph in $\Gamma(n,k).$ Recently, Ji and Ye…

A $c$-edge-colored multigraph has each edge colored with one of the $c$ available colors and no two parallel edges have the same color. A proper Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle containing all the vertices of the multigraph such that no two…

Let $G$ be a plane graph and let $C$ be a cycle in $G$. For each finite face of $G$, count the number of edges of $C$ the face contains. We call this the Slitherlink signature of $C$. The symmetric difference $A$ of two cycles with the same…

The edges surrounding a face of a map $M$ form a cycle $C$, called the boundary cycle of the face, and $C$ is often not a simple cycle. If the map $M$ is arc-transitive, then there is a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms of $M$ which leaves…

In 1959, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai showed that every $2$-connected graph $G$ contains a cycle of length at least $\frac{2|E(G)|}{|V(G)|-1}$. This result was subsequently extended to weighted graphs by Bondy and Fan in 1991. A natural local…

In this paper, we study the Tur\'{a}n problem of signed graphs version. Suppose that $\dot{G}$ is a connected unbalanced signed graph of order $n$ with $e(\dot{G})$ edges and $e^-(\dot{G})$ negative edges, and let $\rho(\dot{G})$ be the…

Bondy and Vince proved that a graph of minimum degree at least three contains two cycles whose lengths differ by one or two, which was conjectured by Erd\H{o}s. Gao, Li, Ma and Xie gave an average degree counterpart of Bondy-Vince's result,…

An edge-colored graph is \emph{rainbow }if no two edges of the graph have the same color. An edge-colored graph $G^c$ is called \emph{properly colored} if every two adjacent edges of $G^c$ receive distinct colors in $G^c$. A \emph{strongly…
