The commuting graph ${\Gamma(G)}$ of a group $G$ is the simple undirected graph with group elements as a vertex set and two elements $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=yx$ in $G$. By eliminating the identity element of $G$ and all…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic group. The non-cyclic graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\setminus Cyc(G)$, two distinct vertices being adjacent if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup, where $Cyc(G)=\{a\in G:…

The power graph $\Gamma_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the group, two distinct elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this paper, we classify the finite groups whose power graphs have…

Let $D$ be a directed graphs with distinguished sets of sources $S\subseteq V(D)$ and sinks $T\subseteq V(D)$. A tripod in $D$ is a subgraph consisting of the union of two $S$-$T$-paths that have distinct start-vertices and the same…

We associate a graph ${\mathcal N}_{S}$ with a semigroup $S$ (called the upper non-nilpotent graph of $S$). The vertices of this graph are the elements of $S$ and two vertices are adjacent if they generate a semigroup that is not nilpotent…

For a fixed integer $\ell$ a path is long if its length is at least $\ell$. We prove that for all integers $k$ and $\ell$ there is a number $f(k,\ell)$ such that for every graph $G$ and vertex sets $A,B$ the graph $G$ either contains $k$…

For a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, let $G(\Gamma)$ denote the right-angled Artin group on the complement graph of $\Gamma$. In this article, we introduce the notions of "induced path lifting property" and "semi-induced path lifting…

The cyclic graph $\Gamma(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ is the simple graph whose vertex set is $S$ and two vertices $x, y$ are adjacent if the subsemigroup generated by $x$ and $y$ is monogenic. In this paper, we classify the semigroup $S$ such…

Menger's Theorem is a fundamental result in graph theory. It states that if in a graph $G$ with distinguished sets of terminal vertices $S$ and $T$ there are no $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint $S$-$T$ paths, then there is a set of less than…

The celebrated Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa Theorem, in one formulation, asserts that for every $c\geq 1$, graphs with no subgraph (or equivalently, minor) isomorphic to the disjoint union of $c$ cycles have bounded treewidth. What can we say about…

Let ${\cal G}$ and ${\cal H}$ be minor-closed graph classes. The pair $({\cal H},{\cal G})$ is an Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa pair (EP-pair) if there is a function $f$ where, for every $k$ and every $G\in{\cal G},$ either $G$ has $k$ pairwise…

We consider an inhomogeneous version of the Barak-Erd\H{o}s graph, i.e. a directed Er\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with no loop. Given $f$ a Riemann-integrable non-negative function on $[0,1]^2$ and $\gamma > 0$, we define…

Robertson and Seymour proved that the family of all graphs containing a fixed graph $H$ as a minor has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if and only if $H$ is planar. We show that this is no longer true for the edge version of the…
