The celebrated dependent random choice lemma states that in a bipartite graph an average vertex (weighted by its degree) has the property that almost all small subsets $S$ in its neighborhood has common neighborhood almost as large as in…

In 2006, Bar\'at and Thomassen posed the following conjecture: for each tree $T$, there exists a natural number $k_T$ such that, if $G$ is a $k_T$-edge-connected graph and $|E(G)|$ is divisible by $|E(T)|$, then $G$ admits a decomposition…

An odd graph is a finite graph all of whose vertices have odd degrees. Given graph $G$ is decomposable into $k$ odd subgraphs if its edge set can be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which induces an odd subgraph of $G$. The minimum…

We pursue the study of edge-irregulators of graphs, which were recently introduced in [Fioravantes et al. Parametrised Distance to Local Irregularity. IPEC, 2024]. That is, we are interested in the parameter Ie(G), which, for a given graph…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$, we consider the problem of decomposing a properly edge-colored graph $G$ into few parts consisting of rainbow copies of $H$ and single edges. We establish a close relation to the previously studied problem of…

A graph property is monotone if it is closed under removal of vertices and edges. In this paper we consider the following edge-deletion problem; given a monotone property P and a graph G, compute the smallest number of edge deletions that…

The edge space $\mathcal{E}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^{E(G)}$ with members naturally identified with subgraphs of $G$, and the $H$-space is the subspace $\mathcal{C}_H(G)$ of $ \mathcal{E}(G)$ spanned by copies of…

A decomposition of a simple graph $G$ is a pair $(G,P)$ where $P$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$, which partitions the edges of $G$ in the sense that every edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one subgraph in $P$. If the elements of $P$ are induced…

The Graph Reconstruction Conjecture famously posits that any undirected graph on at least three vertices is determined up to isomorphism by its family of (unlabeled) induced subgraphs. At present, the conjecture admits partial resolutions…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. If furthermore two times this cardinality is equal to $|V(G)|$, the graph $G$ is called very well-covered. The class…

We consider the problem of reconstructing an undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices given multiple random noisy subgraphs or "traces". Specifically, a trace is generated by sampling each vertex with probability $p_v$, then taking the…

For a non-negative integer $k$, a vertex cut in a graph is $k$-degenerate if it induces a $k$-degenerate subgraph. We show that a graph of order $n$ at least $2k+2$ without a $k$-degenerate cut has the size at least…

Given graphs $F,H$ and $G$, we say that $G$ is $(F,H)_v$-Ramsey if every red/blue vertex colouring of $G$ contains a red copy of $F$ or a blue copy of $H$. Results of {\L}uczak, Ruci\'nski and Voigt and, subsequently, Kreuter determine the…

Let $G$ be a simple and finite graph. A graph is said to be \textit{decomposed} into subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ which is denoted by $G= H_1 \oplus H_2$, if $G$ is the edge disjoint union of $H_1$ and $H_2$. If $G= H_1 \oplus H_2 \oplus H_3…

The deck of a graph $G$ is given by the multiset of (unlabelled) subgraphs $\{G-v:v\in V(G)\}$. The subgraphs $G-v$ are referred to as the cards of $G$. Brown and Fenner recently showed that, for $n\geq29$, the number of edges of a graph…

A $k$-nearly independent vertex subset of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices that induces a subgraph containing exactly $k$ edges. For $k = 0$, this coincides with the classical notion of independent subsets. This paper investigates the…
