We say a directed graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is irredundant if the removal of any edge reduces the number of ordered pairs of distinct vertices $(u,v)$ such that there exists a directed path from $u$ to $v$. We determine the maximum possible…

We give a compact variation of Seymour's proof that every $2$-edge-connected graph has a nowhere-zero $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_3$-flow.

We prove that for any weakly convergent sequence of finite graphs with bounded vertex degrees, there exists a topological limit graphing.

An oriented graph is a directed graph with no bi-directed edges, i.e. if $xy$ is an edge then $yx$ is not an edge. The oriented size Ramsey number of an oriented graph $H$, denoted by $r(H)$, is the minimum $m$ for which there exists an…

We prove that every 3-connected 2-indivisible infinite planar graph has a 1-way infinite 2-walk. (A graph is 2-indivisible if deleting finitely many vertices leaves at most one infinite component, and a 2-walk is a spanning walk using every…

In 2002, Koh and Tay conjectured that every bridgeless graph of order $n\geq 5$ and size at least ${n\choose 2}-n+5$ has an orientation of diameter two. Later, Cochran, Czabarka, Dankelmann and Sz\'{e}kely proved this conjecture and asked…

In this paper, we prove a theorem on tight paths in convex geometric hypergraphs, which is asymptotically sharp in infinitely many cases. Our geometric theorem is a common generalization of early results of Hopf and Pannwitz, Sutherland,…

A $K_4$-decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into $K_4$s. A fractional $K_4$-decomposition is an assignment of a nonnegative weight to each $K_4$ in a graph such that the sum of the weights of the $K_4$s containing any given…

The aim of this very short note is to relate the directed paths in ${\stackrel{\rm \longrightarrow}{\rm \mathbb{R}^n}}$ to the irreversible paths in ${\stackrel{\rm ir}{\rm \mathbb{R}^n}}$. We first show that there is a directed path from…

The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the largest possible number of vertices in a graph having given diameter and given maximum degree. There has been much recent interest in the problem for mixed graphs, where we allow both undirected…

Halin showed that every thick end of every graph contains an infinite grid. We extend Halin's theorem to digraphs. More precisely, we show that for every infinite family $\mathcal{R}$ of disjoint equivalent out-rays there is a grid whose…

In 2014, Keevash proved the existence of $(n,q,r)$-Steiner systems (equivalently $K_q^r$-decompositions of $K_n^r$) for all large enough $n$ satisfying the necessary divisibility conditions. In 2021, Glock, K\"uhn, and Osthus proposed a…

We consider non-trivial homomorphisms to reflexive oriented graphs in which some pair of adjacent vertices have the same image. Using a notion of convexity for oriented graphs, we study those oriented graphs that do not admit such…

A classical enumerative result states that, given a graph $G$ and a vertex $u$, the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ is equal to the number of orientations of $G$ such that every vertex can reach $u$ by a directed path. We show that…

It is a longstanding conjecture that every simple drawing of a complete graph on $n \geq 3$ vertices contains a crossing-free Hamiltonian cycle. We strengthen this conjecture to "there exists a crossing-free Hamiltonian path between each…
