An induced matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a matching in $G$ that is also the edge set of an induced subgraph of $G$. That is, any edge not in $M$ must have no more than one incident vertex saturated by $M$. The maximum size $|M|$ of an…

An adjacent vertex distinguishing coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G such that any pair of adjacent vertices are incident with distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors needed for an adjacent vertex…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph and $v$ a vertex of $G$. The average distance and the eccentricity of $v$ in $G$ are defined as the arithmetic mean and the maximum, respectively, of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$.…

A well-known result of Kupitz from 1982 asserts that the maximal number of edges in a convex geometric graph (CGG) on $n$ vertices that does not contain $k+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $kn$ (provided $n>2k$). For $k=1$ and $k=n/2-1$, the…

An $\epsilon$-distance-uniform graph is one in which from every vertex, all but an $\epsilon$-fraction of the remaining vertices are at some fixed distance $d$, called the critical distance. We consider the maximum possible value of $d$ in…

In 2016, Dowden initiated the study of planar Tur\'an-type problems, which has since attracted considerable attention. Recently, Bekos et al. proved that every $K_3$-free $1$-planar graph on $n\ge 4$ vertices has at most $3n-6$ edges. In…

We show that the size of maximum cut in a planar graph with $m$ edges is at least $2m/3$. We also show that maximal planar graphs saturate this bound.

A graph $G$ is \emph{uniquely k-colorable} if the chromatic number of $G$ is $k$ and $G$ has only one $k$-coloring up to permutation of the colors. A uniquely $k$-colorable graph $G$ is edge-critical if $G-e$ is not a uniquely $k$-colorable…

A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. We establish tight lower bounds on the maximum size of a uniquely restricted matching in terms of order, size, and maximum degree.

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

The aim of the present paper is to prove that the maximum number of edges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices and matching number s is max{\binom(3s+2,3), \binom(n,3) - \binom(n-s,3)} for all n,s, n >= 3s+2.

The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. Our main result is that every graph $G$ that does not contain a fixed graph as a minor has crossing number $O(\Delta n)$, where $G$…

In this paper, we study the concept of edge-group choosability of graphs. We say that G is edge k-group choosable if its line graph is k-group choosable. An edge-group choosability version of Vizing conjecture is given. The evidence of our…

A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…

Two permutations of the vertices of a graph $G$ are called $G$-different if there exists an index $i$ such that $i$-th entry of the two permutations form an edge in $G$. We bound or determine the maximum size of a family of pairwise…

In a RAC drawing of a graph, vertices are represented by points in the plane, adjacent vertices are connected by line segments, and crossings must form right angles. Graphs that admit such drawings are RAC graphs. RAC graphs are…

Determining the maximum number of edges under degree and matching number constraints have been solved for general graphs by Chv\'{a}tal and Hanson (1976), and by Balachandran and Khare (2009). It follows from the structure of those extremal…
