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…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a multigraph (it has multiple edges, but no loops). The edge connectivity, denoted by $\lambda(G)$, is the cardinality of a minimum edge-cut of $G$. We call $G$ maximally edge-connected if $\lambda(G)=\delta(G)$, and $G$…

A subgroup of the automorphism group of a graph $\G$ is said to be {\em half-arc-transitive} on $\G$ if its action on $\G$ is transitive on the vertex set of $\G$ and on the edge set of $\G$ but not on the arc set of $\G$. Tetravalent…

In this paper, we define the Mycielskian of a signed graph and discuss the properties of balance and switching in the Mycielskian of a given signed graph. We provide a condition for ensuring the Mycielskian of a balanced signed graph…

Ara\'ujo, Kinyon and Konieczny (2011) pose several problems concerning the construction of arbitrary commuting graphs of semigroups. We observe that every star-free graph is the commuting graph of some semigroup. Consequently, we suggest…

It is an intriguing question to see what kind of information on the structure of an oriented graph $D$ one can obtain if $D$ does not contain a fixed oriented graph $H$ as a subgraph. The related question in the unoriented case has been an…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a \emph{word-representable graph} if there exists a word $W$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $W$ if and only if $(x,y)\in E$ for each $x\neq y$. In this paper we give an effective…

We prove two characterisations of accessibility of locally finite quasi-transitive connected graphs. First, we prove that any such graph $G$ is accessible if and only if its set of separations of finite order is an ${\rm Aut}(G)$-finitely…

An arc of a graph is an oriented edge and a 3-arc is a 4-tuple $(v,u,x,y)$ of vertices such that both $(v,u,x)$ and $(u,x,y)$ are paths of length two. The 3-arc graph of a graph $G$ is defined to have vertices the arcs of $G$ such that two…

A simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ iff $xy\in E$. Word-representable graphs generalize several important classes of graphs. A graph…

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S . The domination number of G, denoted by $\gamma$(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. In a breakthrough…

A half-arc-transitive graph is a regular graph that is both vertex- and edge-transitive, but is not arc-transitive. If such a graph has finite valency, then its valency is even, and greater than $2$. In 1970, Bouwer proved that there exists…

Lov\'asz has completely characterised the structure of graphs with no two vertex-disjoint cycles, while Slilaty has given a structural characterisation of graphs with no two vertex-disjoint odd cycles; his result is in fact more general,…

A simple graph $G$ is said to admit an antimagic orientation if there exist an orientation on the edges of $G$ and a bijection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,|E(G)|\}$ such that the vertex sums of vertices are pairwise distinct, where the…

We classify the connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. We further show that if their underlying undirected graph is not connected-homogeneous, they are highly-arc-transitive.

A bipartite graph is called bipancyclic if it contains cycles of every even length from four up to the number of vertices in the graph. A theorem of Schmeichel and Mitchem states that for $n \geq 4$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$…

A CIS graph is a graph in which every maximal stable set and every maximal clique intersect. A graph is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets are of the same size, co-well-covered if its complement is well-covered, and…

We introduce a family of graphs that generalises the class of Cayley graphs. For non-empty subsets L, R of a group G, the two-sided Cayley graph 2SC(G;L,R) is the directed graph with vertex set G and an arc from x to y if and only if…

Letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in a word $w$ if after deleting in $w$ all letters but the copies of $x$ and $y$ we either obtain a word $xyxy\cdots$ (of even or odd length) or a word $yxyx\cdots$ (of even or odd length). A graph $G=(V,E)$ is…
