A rich $k$-flow is a nowhere-zero $k$-flow $\phi$ such that, for every pair of adjacent edges $e$ and $f$, $|\phi(e)| \neq |\phi(f)|$. A graph is rich flow admissible if it admits a rich $k$-flow for some integer $k$. In this paper, we…

In 1981, Duffus, Gould, and Jacobson showed that every connected graph either has a Hamiltonian path, or contains a claw ($K_{1,3}$) or a net (a fixed six-vertex graph) as an induced subgraph. This implies that subject to being connected,…

Kochol introduced the assigning polynomial $F(G,\alpha;k)$ to count nowhere-zero $(A,b)$-flows of a graph $G$, where $A$ is a finite Abelian group and $\alpha$ is a $\{0,1\}$-assigning from a family $\Lambda(G)$ of certain nonempty vertex…

A weighted graph $G$ with countable vertex set is bounded if there is an upper bound on the maximum of the sum of absolute values of all edge weights incident to a vertex in $G$. In this paper, we prove a fundamental result on equitable…

A path in a graph $G$ is called non-self-touching if two vertices are neighbours in the path if and only if they are neighbours in the graph. We investigate the existence of doubly infinite non-self-touching paths in infinite plane graphs.…

A hole in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of length at least four. We prove that for every positive integer k, every triangle-free graph with sufficiently large chromatic number contains holes of k consecutive lengths.

A finite or infinite word is called a $G$-word for a labelled graph $G$ on the vertex set $A_n = \{0,1,..., n-1\}$ if $w = i_1i_2...i_k \in A_n^*$, where each factor $i_ji_{j+1}$ is an edge of $E$, i.e, $w$ represents a walk in $G$. We show…

A graph is even-hole-free if it has no induced even cycles of length 4 or more. A cap is a cycle of length at least 5 with exactly one chord and that chord creates a triangle with the cycle. In this paper, we consider (cap, even hole)-free…

In this study we consider the problem of triangulated graphs. Precisely we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be triangulated. This give an alternative characterization of triangulated graphs. Our method is based on…

Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, a graph is $(H_1,\,H_2)$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H_1$ or $H_2$. For a positive integer $t$, $P_t$ is the chordless path on $t$ vertices. A paraglider is the graph that…

An embedding of a graph into $\mathbb{R}^3$ is said to be linear, if any edge of the graph is sent to be a line segment. And we say that an embedding $f$ of a graph $G$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ is free, if $\pi_1(\mathbb{R}^3-f(G))$ is a free…

Considering connected $K_{1,3}$-free graphs with independence number at least $3$, Chudnovsky and Seymour (2010) showed that every such graph, say $G$, is $2\omega$-colourable where $\omega$ denotes the clique number of $G$. We study…

For an integer $t\geq 4$, a $t$-sun is a graph obtained from a $t$-vertex cycle $C$ by adding a degree-one neighbor for each vertex of $C$. Trotignon asked whether every triangle-free graph of sufficiently large chromatic number has an…

Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…

An edge colored graph $G$ is rainbow edge connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $rc(G)$, is the smallest number of colors that are…

We show that if $G$ is a simple triangle-free graph with $n\geq 3$ vertices, without a perfect matching, and having a minimum degree at least $\frac{n-1}{2}$, then $G$ is isomorphic either to $C_5$ or to $K_{\frac{n-1}{2},\frac{n+1}{2}}$.
