We initiate the systematic study of the following Tur\'an-type question. Suppose $\Gamma$ is a graph with $n$ vertices such that the edge density between any pair of subsets of vertices of size at least $t$ is at most $1 - c$, for some $t$…

This paper deals with the extension of partial actions of topological groups on topological spaces. Within this framework, we introduce a class of topological embeddings defined via the inverse semigroup of homeomorphisms between open…

The line graph $\Gamma$ of a multi-graph $\Delta$ is the graph whose vertices are the edges of $\Delta$, where two such edges are adjacent if and only if they meet in a single vertex of $\Delta$. We provide several characterizations of such…

We obtain some $d\ge2$ such that every graph $G$ with no induced copy of the five-vertex path $P_5$ has at most $\alpha(G)\omega(G)^d$ vertices. This ``off-diagonal Ramsey'' statement implies that every such graph $G$ has fractional…

A path system $\mathcal{P}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be irreducible if there does not exist a partition $V= A\sqcup B$ such that $\mathcal{P}$ restricts to a path system on both $G[A]$ and $G[B]$. In this paper, we construct an…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter $D \ge 3$. Assume $\Gamma$ has classical parameters $(D,b,\alpha,\beta)$ with $b < -1$. Let $X$ denote the vertex set of $\Gamma$ and let $A \in MX$ denote the adjacency matrix of…

We show that if a graph $G$ admits a quasi-isometry $\phi$ to a graph $H$ of bounded path-width, then we can assign a non-negative integer length to each edge of $H$, such that the same function $\phi$ is a quasi-isometry to this weighted…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The \textit{commuting/nilpotent/solvable conjugacy class graph} ($\Gamma_{CCC}(G)$, $\Gamma_{NCC}(G)$, or $\Gamma_{SCC}(G)$) is a simple graph whose vertex set consists of all non-central conjugacy classes of $G$.…

The zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ of an associative ring $R$ is the graph whose vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors (one-sided and two-sided) of $R$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge iff either $xy=0$ or…

Given a graph $H$, we denote by ${\cal M}(H)$ all graphs that can be contracted to $H$. The following extension of the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa Theorem holds: for every $h$-vertex planar graph $H$, there exists a function $f_{H}$ such that every…

For an undirected, simple, finite, connected graph $G$, we denote by $V(G)$ and $E(G)$ the sets of its vertices and edges, respectively. A function $\varphi:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,...,t\}$ is called a proper edge $t$-coloring of a graph $G$,…
