A graph $G$ has the $k$-strong parity property if for any $X\subseteq V(G)$ with $|X|$ even, $G$ contains a spanning subgraph $F$ with $d_F(u)\equiv1$ (mod 2) for each $u\in X$ and $d_F(v)\in\{k,k+2,k+4,\ldots\}$ for each $v\in…

If $G$ is a graph and $\vec H$ is an oriented graph, we write $G\to \vec H$ to say that every orientation of the edges of $G$ contains $\vec H$ as a subdigraph. We consider the case in which $G=G(n,p)$, the binomial random graph. We…

A graph $G$ is \emph{$(a,b)$-choosable} if given any list assignment $L$ with $|L(v)|=a$ for each $v\in V(G)$ there exists a function $\varphi$ such that $\varphi(v)\in L(v)$ and $|\varphi(v)|=b$ for all $v\in V(G)$, and whenever vertices…

A graph $G$ is $1$-extendible if every edge belongs to at least one $1$-factor of $G$. Let $G$ be a graph with a $1$-factor $F$. Then an even $F$-orientation of $G$ is an orientation in which each $F$-alternating cycle has exactly an even…

Let $g$ be a bounded symmetric measurable nonnegative function on $[0,1]^2$, and $\left\lVert g \right\rVert = \int_{[0,1]^2} g(x,y) dx dy$. For a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$, we define \[ t(G,g) \;…

A \emph{directional labeling} of an edge $\emph{uv}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ by an ordered pair $ab$ is a labeling of the edge $uv$ such that the label on $uv$ in the direction from $u$ to $v$ is $\ell(uv)=ab$, and $\ell(vu)=ba$. New…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. An ordering of $G$ is a bijection $\alpha: V\dom \{1,2,..., |V|\}.$ For a vertex $v$ in $G$, its closed neighborhood is $N[v]=\{u\in V: uv\in E\}\cup \{v\}.$ The profile of an ordering $\alpha$ of $G$ is…

We provide a matrix-based formula for the Tutte symmetric function of a graph. In particular, for any graph $G$ with a designated head and tail vertex, we describe an infinite matrix $M_G$ from which the Tutte symmetric function can be…

Homomorphically full graphs are those for which every homomorphic image is isomorphic to a subgraph. We extend the definition of homomorphically full to oriented graphs in two different ways. For the first of these, we show that…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $\{0,1,2,...,n\}$. We allow $G$ to have multiple edges and loops. In this paper, we give a characterization of external activity by some parameters of $G$-parking functions. In particular, we…

In a recent paper, we studied the interaction between the automorphism group of a graph and its Tutte polynomial. More precisely, we proved that certain symmetries of graphs are clearly reflected by their Tutte polynomials. The purpose of…

In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B 16 (1974), 168-174], Tutte called two graphs $T$-equivalent (i.e., codichromatic) if they have the same Tutte polynomial and showed that graphs $G$ and $G'$ are $T$-equivalent if $G'$ is obtained from…

A graph $G$ is primarily orientable if it is possible to orient its edges in such a way that the resulting oriented graph is prime, i.e., indecomposable under modular decomposition. We characterize primarily orientable graphs.

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and two its distinct vertices $u$ and $v$. The $(u,v)$-$P_k$-{\em addition graph} of $G$ is the graph $G_{u,v,k-2}$ obtained from disjoint union of $G$ and a path $P_k: x_0,x_1,..,x_{k-1}$, $k \geq 2$, by…

Let $G_{g,b}$ be the set of all uni/trivalent graphs representing the combinatorial structures of pant decompositions of the oriented surface of genus $g$ with $b$ boundary components. We describe the set $A_{g,b}$ of all automorphisms of…

We show that a graph has an orientation under which every circuit of even length is clockwise odd if and only if the graph contains no subgraph which is, after the contraction of at most one circuit of odd length, an even subdivision of…

Let $f: \{1, ..., n\} \rightarrow \{1, ..., n\}$ be a function (not necessarily one-to-one). An $f-derangement$ is a permutation $ g:\{1,...,n\} \rightarrow \{1,...,n\}$ such that $g(i) \neq f(i)$ for each $ i = 1, ..., n$. When $f$ is…

Let $G$ be a graph, and $g,f:V(G)\rightarrow N$ be two functions with $g(x)\leq f(x)$ for each vertex $x$ in $G$. We say that $G$ has all fractional $(g,f)$-factors if $G$ includes a fractional $r$-factor for every $r:V(G)\rightarrow N$…

Consider pairs of the form (G, N), with G a group and N \normal G, as objects of a category \PG. A morphism (G_1, N_1) \To (G_2, N_2) will be a group homomorphism f : G_1 \To G_2 such that f(N_1) \subset N_2. We introduce a functor Q : \PG…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and let $p$ and $q$ be two integer-valued functions on $V(G)$ with $p< q$ in which for each $v\in V(G)$, $q(v) \ge \frac{1}{2}d_G(v)$ and $p(v) \ge \frac{1}{2} q(v)-2$. In this note, we show that $G$ has an…
