An {\em ordered $r$-graph} is an $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered. Given $2\leq k\leq r$, an ordered $r$-graph $H$ is {\em interval} $k$-{\em partite} if there exist at least $k$ disjoint intervals in the ordering…

The problem of finding the largest connected subgraph of a given undirected host graph, subject to constraints on the maximum degree $\Delta$ and the diameter $D$, was introduced in \cite{maxddbs}, as a generalization of the Degree-Diameter…

A matching of a graph is a set of edges without common end vertex. A graph is called 1-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Recently, Biedl and Wittnebel proved that every 1-planar graph…

Let \( D \) be a strongly connected digraph. The average distance of a vertex \( v \) in \( D \) is defined as the arithmetic mean of the distances from \( v \) to all other vertices in \( D \). The remoteness \( \rho(D) \) of \( D \) is…

To determine that two given undirected graphs are isomorphic, we construct for them auxiliary graphs, using the breadth-first search. This makes capability to position vertices in each digraph with respect to each other. If the given graphs…

An ordered graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a graph whose vertices have been labeled bijectively with $\{1,...,n\}$. The ordered Ramsey number $r_<(H)$ is the minimum $n$ such that every two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$…

We propose a heuristic method that generates a graph for order/degree problem. Target graphs of our heuristics have large order (> 4000) and diameter 3. We describe the ob- servation of smaller graphs and basic structure of our heuristics.…

An orientation of an undirected graph $G$ is an assignment of exactly one direction to each edge of $G$. The oriented diameter of a graph $G$ is the smallest diameter among all the orientations of $G$. The maximum oriented diameter of a…

Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…

Given a graph $G$, we say that an orientation $D$ of $G$ is a KT orientation if, for all $u, v \in V(D)$, there is at most one directed path (in any direction) between $u$ and $v$. Graphs that admit such orientations have been used by…

We study the connection between the degree sequence of a $k$-uniform hypergraph and the size of its largest matching. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and let $d_1 \ge d_2 \ge \dots \ge d_n$ be the vertex…

A bisection in a graph is a cut in which the number of vertices in the two parts differ by at most 1. In this paper, we give lower bounds for the maximum weight of bisections of edge-weighted graphs with bounded maximum degree. Our results…

The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we improve known parameterized algorithms and…

We consider upward-planar layered drawings of directed graphs, i.e., crossing-free drawings in which each edge is drawn as a y-monotone curve going upward from its tail to its head, and the y-coordinates of the vertices are integers. The…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ denote the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. The degree graph $\Delta(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the simple undirected graph whose vertex set ${\rm{V}}(G)$ consists…

Computing the directed path-width of a directed graph is an NP-hard problem. Even for digraphs of maximum semi-degree 3 the problem remains hard. We propose a decomposition of an input digraph G=(V,A) by a number k of sequences with entries…

We study minimum degree conditions for which a graph with given odd girth has a simple structure. For example, the classical work of Andr\'asfai, Erd\H os, and S\'os implies that every $n$-vertex graph with odd girth $2k+1$ and minimum…

Many of the tools developed for the theory of tree-decompositions of graphs do not work for directed graphs. In this paper we show that some of the most basic tools do work in the case where the model digraph is a directed path. Using these…

An undirected graph is said to be cordial if there is a friendly (0,1)-labeling of the vertices that induces a friendly (0,1)-labeling of the edges. An undirected graph $G$ is said to be $(2,3)$-orientable if there exists a friendly…
