We prove a `resilience' version of Dirac's theorem in the setting of random regular graphs. More precisely, we show that, whenever $d$ is sufficiently large compared to $\varepsilon>0$, a.a.s. the following holds: let $G'$ be any subgraph…

In this note, we prove a theorem covering Chartrand, Kaigars, and Lick's theorem in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 32 (1972), 63-68]. As an application, we give a simpler proof of theorem proved by Mader [J. Graph Theory 65 (2010), 61-69. (Theorem…

A fundamental connection between list vertex colourings of graphs and Property B (also known as hypergraph 2-colourability) was already known to Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor. In this article, we draw similar connections for improper list…

Given an integer $r\gs 2$, an important theorem first proved by B. Andr\'asfai, P. Erd\H{o}s, and V. T. S\'os states that any $K_{r+1}$--free graph on $n$ vertices whose minimum degree is greater than $(3r-4)n/(3r-1)$ is $r$--colourable,…

Baker and Norine proved a Riemann--Roch theorem for divisors on undirected graphs. The notions of graph divisor theory are in duality with the notions of the chip-firing game of Bj\"orner, Lov\'asz and Shor. We use this connection to prove…

A Riemann-Roch theorem on graph was initiated by M. Baker and S. Norine. In their article [2], a Riemann-Roch theorem on a finite graph with uniform vertex-weight and uniform edge-weight was established and it was suggested a Riemann-Roch…

A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle which passes through every vertex of the graph exactly once. A classical theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. We…

Brooks' Theorem states that if a graph has $\Delta\ge 3$ and $\omega \le \Delta$, then $\chi \le \Delta$. Borodin and Kostochka conjectured that if $\Delta\ge 9$ and $\omega\le \Delta-1$, then $\chi\le \Delta-1$. We show that if $\Delta\ge…

By proving graph theoretical versions of Green-Stokes, Gauss-Bonnet and Poincare-Hopf, core ideas of undergraduate mathematics can be illustrated in a simple graph theoretical setting. In this pedagogical exposition we present the main…

Odd coloring is a proper coloring with an additional restriction that every non-isolated vertex has some color that appears an odd number of times in its neighborhood. The minimum number of colors $k$ that can ensure an odd coloring of a…

The Gr\"{o}tzsch Theorem states that every triangle-free planar graph admits a proper $3$-coloring. Among many of its generalizations, the one of Gr\"{u}nbaum and Aksenov, giving $3$-colorability of planar graphs with at most three…

Based on the main result presented in a recent paper, we derive Ambarzumian-type theorems for Schr\"odinger operators defined on quantum graphs. We recover existing results such as the classical theorem by Ambarzumian and establish some…

We consider acyclic r-colorings in graphs and digraphs: they color the vertices in r colors, each of which induces an acyclic graph or digraph. (This includes the dichromatic number of a digraph, and the arboricity of a graph.) For any…

Archdeacon (1987) proved that graphs embeddable on a fixed surface can be $3$-coloured so that each colour class induces a subgraph of bounded maximum degree. Edwards, Kang, Kim, Oum and Seymour (2015) proved that graphs with no…

In this note, we prove a certain hypergraph generalization of the Balog-Szemeredi-Gowers Theorem. Our result shares some features in common with a similar such generalizsation due to Sudakov, Szemeredi and Vu, though the conclusion of our…
