In 2002, Nikiforov proved that for an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with clique number $\omega$ and edge number $m$, the spectral radius $\lambda(G)$ satisfies $\lambda (G) \leq \sqrt{2(1 - 1/\omega) m}$, which confirmed a conjecture implicitly…

Given a graph $G$, the strong clique number of $G$, denoted $\omega_S(G)$, is the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges such that every pair of edges in $S$ has distance at most $2$ in the line graph of $G$. As a relaxation of the renowned…

Nikiforov (LAA, 2010) conjectured that for given integer $k$, any graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with spectral radius $\mu(G)\geq \mu(S_{n,k})$ contains all trees of order $2k+2$, unless $G=S_{n,k}$, where $S_{n,k}=K_k\vee…

In 2010, Mkrtchyan, Petrosyan and Vardanyan proved that every graph $G$ with $2\leq \delta(G)\leq \Delta(G)\leq 3$ contains a maximum matching whose unsaturated vertices do not have a common neighbor, where $\Delta(G)$ and $\delta(G)$…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

A longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for every rational $r$ between $1$ and $2$ there is a graph $H$ such that the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices is $\Theta(n^r)$. Answering a…

Tuza (A conjecture, in Proceedings of the Colloquia Mathematica Societatis Janos Bolyai, 1981) conjectured that $\tau(G) \le 2\nu(G)$ for all graphs $G$, where $\tau(G)$ is the minimum size of an edge set whose removal makes $G$…

A vertex of a graph is bisimplicial if the set of its neighbors is the union of two cliques; a graph is quasi-line if every vertex is bisimplicial. A recent result of Chudnovsky and Seymour asserts that every non-empty even-hole-free graph…

Bollob\'{a}s and Scott [5] conjectured that every graph $G$ has a balanced bipartite spanning subgraph $H$ such that for each $v\in V(G)$, $d_H(v)\ge (d_G(v)-1)/2$. In this paper, we show that every graphic sequence has a realization for…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with Laplacian eigenvalues $0=\lambda_1(G)\le \lambda_2(G)\le\cdots\le \lambda_n(G)$. Motivated by the Alon-Boppana bound and the Ramanujan phenomenon for regular graphs, Spielman conjectured that, for every…

A graph $G$ is called $C_4$-free if it does not contain the cycle $C_4$ as an induced subgraph. Hubenko, Solymosi and the first author proved (answering a question of Erd\H os) a peculiar property of $C_4$-free graphs: $C_4$ graphs with $n$…

An $(n,m)$-graph is a graph with $n$ types of arcs and $m$ types of edges. A homomorphism of an $(n,m)$-graph $G$ to another $(n,m)$-graph $H$ is a vertex mapping that preserves the adjacencies along with their types and directions. The…
