The zeroth-order general Randi\'{c} index $R^{0}_{a+1}$ of an $n$-vertices oriented graph $D$ is equal to the sum of $(d^{+}_{u_i})^{a}+(d^{-}_{u_j})^{a}$ over all arcs $u_iu_j$ of $D$, where we denote by $d^{+}_{u_i}$ the out-degree of the…

We prove that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ admits a partition of its edges into $O(\sqrt{\Delta})$ parts (as $\Delta\to\infty$) none of which contains $C_4$ as a subgraph. This bound is sharp up to a constant factor. Our proof…

This paper proves that if $G$ is a graph (parallel edges allowed) of maximum degree 3, then $\chi_c'(G) \leq 11/3$ provided that $G$ does not contain $H_1$ or $H_2$ as a subgraph, where $H_1$ and $H_2$ are obtained by subdividing one edge…

A proper orientation $D$ of an undirected graph $G$ is an orientation of $G$ such that $d_D^+(u)\not=d_D^+(v)$ for any edge $uv\in E(G)$. Denote the proper orientation number $\vec{\chi}(G)$ of an undirected graph $G$ as the minimum…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$. The eccentricity $e(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is the mean of all eccentricities in $G$. We give upper bounds on the…

The General Randi\'c index $R_\alpha$ of a simple graph $G$ is defined as \[ R_\alpha(G)=\sum_{v_{i}\sim v_{j}} (\delta_{i}\delta_{j})^\alpha, \] where $\delta_i$ denotes the degree of the vertex $v_i$. Rodr\'iguez-Vel\'azquez and…

We investigate Ramsey numbers of bounded degree graphs and provide an interpolation between known results on the Ramsey numbers of general bounded degree graphs and bounded degree graphs of small bandwidth. Our main theorem implies that…

Erd\H{o}s, Pach, Pollack, and Tuza [\textit{J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 47(1) (1989), 73-79}] proved that the diameter of a connected $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $\delta$ is at most $\frac{3n}{\delta+1}+O(1)$. The oriented diameter…

A graph $G$ is class II, if its chromatic index is at least $\Delta+1$. Let $H$ be a maximum $\Delta$-edge-colorable subgraph of $G$. The paper proves best possible lower bounds for $\frac{|E(H)|}{|E(G)|}$, and structural properties of…
