Alon and Yuster proved that the number of orientations of any $n$-vertex graph in which every $K_3$ is transitively oriented is at most $2^{\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor}$ for $n \geq 10^4$ and conjectured that the precise lower bound on $n$ should…

Hasunuma [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 423-435] conjectured that for any tree $T$ of order $m$, every $k$-connected (or $k$-edge-connected) graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+m-1$ contains a tree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-E(T')$ is…

An oriented graph is an orientation of a simple graph. In 2009, Keevash, K\"{u}hn and Osthus proved that every sufficiently large oriented graph $D$ of order $n$ with $(3n-4)/8$ is Hamiltonian. Later, Kelly, K\"{u}hn and Osthus showed that…

A polynomial-time exact algorithm for counting the number of directed acyclic graphs in a Markov equivalence class was recently given by Wien\"obst, Bannach, and Li\'skiewicz (AAAI 2021). In this paper, we consider the more general problem…

Entanglement is a complexity measure of directed graphs that origins in fixed point theory. This measure has shown its use in designing efficient algorithms to verify logical properties of transition systems. We are interested in the…

We present progress on three old conjectures about longest paths and cycles in graphs. The first pair of conjectures, due to Lov\'{a}sz from 1969 and Thomassen from 1978, respectively, states that all connected vertex-transitive graphs…

Let $G$ be a (multi)graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. The maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted by $\kappa_G(u,v)$, and the maximum number of edge-disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted…

Let $P_G(k)$ be the number of proper $k$-colorings of a finite simple graph $G$. Tomescu's conjecture, which was recently solved by Fox, He, and Manners, states that $P_G(k) \le k!(k-1)^{n-k}$ for all connected graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices…

Let $S,T$ be two distinct finite Abelian groups with $|S|=|T|$. A fundamental theorem of Tutte shows that a graph admits a nowhere-zero $S$-flow if and only if it admits a nowhere-zero $T$-flow. Jaeger, Linial, Payan and Tarsi in 1992…

In 1847, Kirkman proved that there exists a Steiner triple system on $n$ vertices (equivalently a triangle decomposition of the edges of $K_n$) whenever $n$ satisfies the necessary divisibility conditions (namely $n\equiv 1,3 \mod 6$). In…

In this paper, we introduce super-minimally $k$-connected graphs, those $k$-connected graphs in which no proper subgraph is $k$-connected. For $k$ greater than or equal to three, this class lies strictly between the classes of minimally…

A graph $G$ is terminal-pairable with respect to a demand multigraph $D$ on the same vertex set as $G$, if there exists edge-disjoint paths joining the end vertices of every demand edge of $D$. In this short note, we improve the upper bound…

In 1980, Jackson proved that every 2-connected $k$-regular graph with at most $3k$ vertices is Hamiltonian. This result has been extended in several papers. In this note, we determine the minimum number of vertices in a connected…

Let C(n,k) denote the number of connected graphs with n labeled vertices and n+k-1 edges. For any sequence (k_n), the limit of C(n,k_n) as n tends to infinity is known. It has been observed that, if k_n=o(\sqrt{n}), this limit is…

For all $k \geq 1$, we show that deciding whether a graph is $k$-planar is NP-complete, extending the well-known fact that deciding 1-planarity is NP-complete. Furthermore, we show that the gap version of this decision problem is…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-integral graphs. A graph $\Gamma$ is called $k$-integral if the extension degree of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of $\Gamma$ over rational field $\mathbb Q$ is equal to…

We consider the class of directed graphs with $N\geq 1$ edges and without loops shorter than $k\geq1$. Using the concept of a labelled graph, we determine graphs from this class that maximize the number of all paths of length $k$. Then we…

A graph is diameter-$k$-critical if its diameter equals $k$ and the deletion of any edge increases its diameter. The Murty-Simon Conjecture states that for any diameter-2-critical graph $G$ of order $n$, $e(G) \leq \lfloor…

In the aftermath of the Robertson--Seymour Graph Minor Theorem, Thomas conjectured that the countable graphs are well-quasi-ordered under the minor relation. We prove that this conjecture, when restricted to graphs with no infinite paths…

We prove that the number of multigraphs with vertex set $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ such that every four vertices span at most nine edges is $a^{n^2 + o(n^2)}$ where $a$ is transcendental (assuming Schanuel's conjecture from number theory). This is…
