It is well known that the spectral radius of a tree whose maximum degree is $D$ cannot exceed $2\sqrt{D-1}$. In this paper we derive similar bounds for arbitrary planar graphs and for graphs of bounded genus. It is proved that a the…

Many hard algorithmic problems dealing with graphs, circuits, formulas and constraints admit polynomial-time upper bounds if the underlying graph has small treewidth. The same problems often encourage reducing the maximal degree of vertices…

A dynamic coloring of the vertices of a graph $G$ starts with an initial subset $F$ of colored vertices, with all remaining vertices being non-colored. At each time step, a colored vertex with exactly one non-colored neighbor forces this…

We prove properties of extremal graphs of girth 5 and order 20 <=v <= 32. In each case we identify the possible minimum and maximum degrees, and in some cases prove the existence of (non-trivial) embedded stars. These proofs allow for…

The reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ for the $k$-colorings of a graph $G$ has as vertex set the set of all possible $k$-colorings of $G$ and two colorings are adjacent if they differ in the color of exactly one vertex of $G$. Let $d, k \geq…

We determine the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with the property that none of its $r$-cliques intersects a fixed set $M\subset V(G)$. For $(r-1)|M|\ge n$, the $(r-1)$-partite Turan graph turns out to be the unique…

In this paper, we explain the regularity, projective dimension and depth of edge ideal of some classes of graphs in terms of invariants of graphs. We show that for a $C_5$-free vertex decomposable graph $G$, $\T{reg}(R/I(G))= c_G$, where…

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich…

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph and $G^\sigma$ be the corresponding oriented graph of $G$ with the orientation $\sigma$. The skew energy of $G^\sigma$, denoted by $\varepsilon_s(G^\sigma)$, is defined as the sum of the singular values…

We present a unified approach to compute the total vertex irregularity strength (tvs) of various graphs, employing a novel technique recently proposed by Barra et al. For graphs such as cycles, paths, prisms, wheels, complete graphs, helm…

In this article, we discuss when one can extend an r-regular graph to an r + 1 regular by adding edges. Different conditions on the num- ber of vertices n and regularity r are developed. We derive an upper bound of r, depending on n, for…

In this paper we study the following extremal graph theoretic problem: Given an undirected Eulerian graph $G$, which Eulerian orientation minimizes or maximizes the number of arborescences? We solve the minimization for the complete graph…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with degree sequence $(d_1,d_2,\cdots,d_n)$. For an integer $p>1$, let $e_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n d^{p}_i$ and let $ex_p(n,H)$ be the maximum value of $e_p(G)$ among all graphs with $n$ vertices that do not…

Let $ex_r(N,g)$ be the maximum number of edges in an $r$-uni\-form hypergraph on $N$ vertices with girth at least $g$. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of this value when $N$ is increasing but parameters $g\in\{6,8\}$ and…

An antimagic labeling of a graph $G$ with $m$ edges is a bijection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ such that for all vertices $u$ and $v$, the sum of labels on edges incident to $u$ differs from that for edges incident to $v$. Hartsfield…

A signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges: positive and negative edges. Switching a vertex $v$ of a signed graph corresponds to changing the type of each edge incident to $v$. A homomorphism from a signed graph $G$ to another…

Given a graph or multigraph $G$, let $\chi'_{trans}(G)$ denote the minimum integer $n$ such that any proper $\chi'(G)$--edge coloring of $G$ can be transformed into any other proper $\chi'(G)$--edge coloring of $G$ by a series of…

We define, for any graph $G=(V,E)$, a boundary $\partial G \subseteq V$. The definition coincides with what one would expected for the discretization of (sufficiently nice) Euclidean domains and contains all vertices from the…

We investigate the \textit{group irregularity strength} ($s_g(G)$) of graphs, i.e. the smallest value of $s$ such that taking any Abelian group $\gr$ of order $s$, there exists a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \gr$ such that the sums of edge…

For a graph $F$, let ${\rm EX}(n,F)$ be the set of $F$-free graphs of order $n$ with the maximum number of edges. The graph $F$ is called vertex-critical, if the deletion of its some vertex induces a graph with smaller chromatic number. For…
