A graph is cubical if it is a subgraph of a hypercube. For a cubical graph $H$ and a hypercube $Q_n$, $ex(Q_n, H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of $Q_n$. If $ex(Q_n, H)$ is equal to a positive proportion of the…
Let G be a vertex-colored graph. A vertex cut S of G is called a monochromatic vertex cut if the vertices of S are colored with the same color. A graph G is monochromatically vertex-disconnected if any two nonadjacent vertices of G has a…
Let $P_G(q)$ denote the chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. The `shameful conjecture' due to Bartels and Welsh states that, $$\frac{P_G(n)}{P_G(n-1)} \geq \frac{n^n}{(n-1)^n}.$$ Let $\mu(G)$ denote the expected number of…
The mean subtree order of a given graph $G$, denoted $\mu(G)$, is the average number of vertices in a subtree of $G$. Let $G$ be a connected graph. Chin, Gordon, MacPhee, and Vincent [J. Graph Theory, 89(4): 413-438, 2018] conjectured that…
We continue the study by Melo and Winter [arXiv:1712.01763, 2017] on the possible intersection sizes of a $k$-dimensional subspace with the vertices of the $n$-dimensional hypercube in Euclidean space. Melo and Winter conjectured that all…
The outer multiset dimension ${\rm dim}_{\rm ms}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that uniquely recognize all the vertices outside this set by using multisets of distances to the set. It is proved that…
A well-known theorem of Vizing states that if $G$ is a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, then the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$ of $G$ is $\Delta$ or $\Delta+1$. A graph $G$ is class 1 if $\chi'(G)=\Delta$, and class 2 if…
We make two contributions pertaining to the study of the quantum chromatic numbers of small graphs. Firstly, in an elegant paper, Man\v{c}inska and Roberson [\textit{Baltic Journal on Modern Computing}, 4(4), 846-859, 2016] gave an example…
We examine several types of visibility graphs in which sightlines can pass through $k$ objects. For $k \geq 1$ we bound the maximum thickness of semi-bar $k$-visibility graphs between $\lceil \frac{2}{3} (k + 1) \rceil$ and $2k$. In…
The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph on $V(G)$ with a pair of vertices $uv$ an edge whenever $u$ and $v$ have distance $1$ or $2$ in $G$. Given graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the minimum $N$ such that whenever the…
For a graph G, let h(G) denote the largest k such that G has k pairwise disjoint pairwise adjacent connected nonempty subgraphs, and let s(G) denote the largest k such that G has k pairwise disjoint pairwise adjacent connected subgraphs of…
In 1982, Tuza conjectured that the size $\tau(G)$ of a minimum set of edges that intersects every triangle of a graph $G$ is at most twice the size $\nu(G)$ of a maximum set of edge-disjoint triangles of $G$. This conjecture was proved for…
The general position problem for graphs asks for the largest number of vertices in a subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ of a graph $G$ such that for any $u,v \in S$ and any shortest $u,v$-path $P$ we have $S \cap V(P) = \{ u,v\} $, whereas the…
The {\em square} $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph with the same vertex set as $G$ and with two vertices adjacent if their distance in $G$ is at most 2. Thomassen showed that every planar graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta(G)=3$…
Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices. We denote the largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue of $G$ by $q_1(G)$ and Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ by $\mu_1(G)\ge\cdots\ge\mu_{n-1}(G)\ge\mu_n(G)=0$. It is a conjecture on Laplacian spread of…
Given a set of $n\geq 1$ unit disk robots in the Euclidean plane, we consider the fundamental problem of providing mutual visibility to them: the robots must reposition themselves to reach a configuration where they all see each other. This…
We study hyperbolicity for quasi-projective varieties where the boundary divisor consists of n+1 numerically parallel effective divisors on a complex projective variety of dimension n, allowing non-empty intersection. Under explicit local…
The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…
For a vertex set $S\subseteq V(G)$ in a graph $G$, the {\em distance multiset}, $D(S)$, is the multiset of pairwise distances between vertices of $S$ in $G$. Two vertex sets are called {\em homometric} if their distance multisets are…
A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is uniquely restricted if no other matching in $G$ covers the same set of vertices. We prove that any connected subcubic graph with $n$ vertices and girth at least $5$ contains a uniquely restricted matching of…
