Let $\tau(G)$ denote the spanning tree packing number of a graph $G$. Recently, Zhang and Fan [J. Graph Theory 112 (2) (2026) 128--144] posed the problem of finding a tight spectral radius condition for an $m$-edge-connected graph $G$ to…

In 1998, Reed conjectured that for any graph $G$, $\chi(G) \leq \lceil \frac{\omega(G) + \Delta(G)+1}{2}\rceil$, where $\chi(G)$, $\omega(G)$, and $\Delta(G)$ respectively denote the chromatic number, the clique number and the maximum…

A graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if $G$ is $F$-free but for any edge $e$ in the complement of $G$ the graph $G + e$ contains $F$. Gerbner et al. (Discrete Math., 345 (2022), 112921) initiated the study of $rsat(n,F)$, the minimum number of…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, with complement $\overline{G}$. The spectral gap of the transition probability matrix of a random walk on $G$ is used to estimate how fast the random walk becomes stationary. We prove that the larger…

In 1973 P. Erd\H{o}s and L. Lov\'asz noticed that any hypergraph whose edges are pairwise intersecting has chromatic number 2 or 3. In the first case, such hypergraph may have any number of edges. However, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz proved that…

For an edge-colored graph, a subgraph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colors. We show that if $G$ is an edge-colored graph of order $n$ and size $m$ using $c$ colors on its edges, and $m+c\geq \binom{n+1}{2}+k-1$ for a…

In 1975, P. Erd\"os proposed the problem of determining the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in a graph of $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. In this paper, it is proved that $$f(n)\geq…

We establish the following strengthening of the celebrated Andr{\'a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s theorem: If $G$ is an $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-free graph whose minimum degree $\delta(G)$ and maximum degree $\Delta(G)$ satisfy \begin{align*}…

A graph $G$ is $(d_1,\ldots,d_k)$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ sets $V_1,\ldots,V_k$, such that for each $i\in\{1, \ldots, k\}$, the subgraph of $G$ induced by $V_i$ has maximum degree at most $d_i$. The Four…

Let $G$ be a simple graph. Denote by $n$, $\Delta(G)$ and $\chi' (G)$ be the order, the maximum degree and the chromatic index of $G$, respectively. We call $G$ \emph{overfull} if $|E(G)|/\lfloor n/2\rfloor > \Delta(G)$, and {\it critical}…

We prove that in every $2$-edge-colouring of $K_n$ there is a collection of $n^2/12 + o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint monochromatic triangles, thus confirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. We also prove a corresponding stability result, showing that…

The celebrated Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture states that for every fixed $e$, every $3$-uniform hypergraph with $\Omega(n^2)$ edges contains $e$ edges spanned by $e+3$ vertices. Up to this date all the approaches towards resolving this…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a \emph{monochromatic path} if all the edges on the path are colored the same. An edge-coloring of $G$ is a \emph{monochromatic connection coloring} (MC-coloring, for short) if there is a…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph for short) is called linear if every pair of vertices belong to at most one edge. A linear $r$-graph is complete if every pair of vertices are in exactly one edge. The famous Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os…

Let $G$ be a graph and $h: E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a function. For any two positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a\leq b$, a fractional $[a,b]$-factor of $G$ with the indicator function $h$ is a spanning subgraph with vertex set $V(G)$ and…

The expansion of a graph $F$, denoted by $F^3$, is the $3$-graph obtained from $F$ by adding a new vertex to each edge such that different edges receive different vertices. For large $n$, we establish tight upper bounds for: The maximum…

A graph is called $F$-free if it does not contain a copy of $F$. Let $G(r,s)$ denote a $K_{r+1}$-free graph of order $n$ with chromatic number at least $s$ that maximizes the spectral radius. Nikiforov [Linear Algebra Appl., 2007] proved…

In this paper we study bounded diameter variations of the following form of Ryser's conjecture. For every graph $G=(V,E)$ with independence number $\alpha(G)=\alpha$ and integer $r\geq 2$, in every $r$-edge coloring of $G$ there is a cover…

For $n\geq s> r\geq 1$ and $k\geq 2$, write $n \rightarrow (s)_{k}^r$ if every hyperedge colouring with $k$ colours of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices has a monochromatic subset of size $s$. Improving upon previous…

A $b$-coloring of a graph is a proper coloring such that every color class contains a vertex adjacent to at least one vertex in each of the other color classes. The $b$-chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted by $b(G)$, is the maximum…
