A fixed-mobile bigraph G is a bipartite graph such that the vertices of one partition set are given with fixed positions in the plane and the mobile vertices of the other part, together with the edges, must be added to the drawing. We…

An edge in a $k$-connected graph $G$ is called {\em $k$-contractible} if the graph $G/e$ obtained from $G$ by contracting $e$ is $k$-connected. Generalizing earlier results on $3$-contractible edges in spanning trees of $3$-connected…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. A {\em fractional $H$-decomposition} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of nonnegative real weights to the copies of $H$ in $G$ such that for each $e \in E(G)$, the sum of the weights of copies of $H$ containing $e$…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n\geq 2$ and let $k\in \{1,\ldots ,n-1\}$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph. A chain in $\mathcal{H}$ is a sequence of its vertices such that every $k$ consecutive vertices form an edge. In 1999 Katona and Kierstead suggested to use chains in hypergraphs as the…

The bidimensionality of a set of vertices $X$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum $k$ for which $G$ contains as a $X$-rooted minor the $(k \times k)$-grid. This notion allows for the following version of the Graph Minors Structure Theorem (GMST)…

A $k$-block in a graph $G$ is a maximal set of at least $k$ vertices no two of which can be separated in $G$ by deleting fewer than $k$ vertices. The block number $\beta(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum integer $k$ for which $G$ contains a…

The strong geodetic problem is a recent variation of the classical geodetic problem. For a graph $G$, its strong geodetic number ${\rm sg}(G)$ is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset $S$, such that each vertex of $G$ lies on one…

A graph $G$ is a $k$-prime product distance graph if its vertices can be labeled with distinct integers such that for any two adjacent vertices, the difference of their labels is the product of at most $k$ primes. A graph has prime product…

It was recently proved that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph with bounded treewidth. This paper surveys generalisations of this result for graphs on surfaces, minor-closed classes, various…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n\geq4$ vertices and $d(x)+d(y)\geq n+k$ for each edge $xy\in E(G)$. In this work we prove that $G$ either contains a spanning closed trail containing any given edge set $X$ if $|X|\leq k$, or $G$ is a well…

A set S of vertices of a graph G is a geodesic transversal of G if every maximal geodesic of G contains at least one vertex of S. We determine a smallest geodesic transversal in certain interconnection networks such as mesh of trees, and…

An edge-colored graph $G$ is $k$-color connected if, between each pair of vertices, there exists a path using at least $k$ different colors. The $k$-color connection number of $G$, denoted by $cc_{k}(G)$, is the minimum number of colors…

A set of vertices of a graph is said to be in general position if no three vertices from the set lie on a common geodesic. Recently Klav\v{z}ar, Rall and Yero generalized this notion by defining a set of vertices to be in general…

We propose the notion of a majority $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$, which is an edge-coloring of $G$ with $k$ colors such that, for every vertex $u$ of $G$, at most half the edges of $G$ incident with $u$ have the same color. We show the…

In this paper, we study the concept of edge-group choosability of graphs. We say that G is edge k-group choosable if its line graph is k-group choosable. An edge-group choosability version of Vizing conjecture is given. The evidence of our…

Graph partitioning problems are a central topic of study in algorithms and complexity theory. Edge expansion and vertex expansion, two popular graph partitioning objectives, seek a $2$-partition of the vertex set of the graph that minimizes…

A convex geometric graph $G$ is said to be packable if there exist edge-disjoint copies of $G$ in the complete convex geometric graph $K_n$ covering all but $o(n^2)$ edges. We prove that every convex geometric graph with cyclic chromatic…

A $k$-matching $M$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $M\subseteq E$ such that each connected component in the subgraph $F = (V,M)$ of $G$ is either a single-vertex graph or $k$-regular, i.e., each vertex has degree $k$. In this contribution,…
