For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a pair of vertex disjoint sets $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ form a connected coalition of $G$, if $A_{1}\cup A_{2}$ is a connected dominating set, but neither $A_{1}$ nor $A_{2}$ is a connected dominating set. A connected…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let ${\rm{cd}}(G)$ denote the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. The degree graph $\Delta(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the simple undirected graph whose vertex set ${\rm{V}}(G)$ consists…

The global forcing number of a graph G is the minimal cardinality of an edge subset discriminating all perfect matchings of G, denoted by gf(G). For any perfect matching M of G, the minimal cardinality of an edge subset S in E(G)-M such…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space. Write $\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{F}}(H;t)=\{F\in \mathcal{F}\colon \dim(F\cap H)\leq t \}$ for a subspace $H$. The family $\mathcal{F}$ is called…

Motivated by odd-sunflowers, introduced recently by Frankl, Pach, and P{\'a}lv{\"o}lgyi, we initiate the study of temperate families: a family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \mathcal{P}([n])$ is said to be \emph{temperate} if each $A \in…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$. We attach to $N$ two graphs ${\Gamma}_G(N)$ and ${\Gamma}^{\ast}_G(N)$ related to the conjugacy classes of $G$ contained in $N$ and to the set of primes dividing the sizes…

We study the complexity of the problems of finding, given a graph $G$, a largest induced subgraph of $G$ with all degrees odd (called an odd subgraph), and the smallest number of odd subgraphs that partition $V(G)$. We call these parameters…

In this work we continue the investigation launched in [FHR16] of the structural properties of the structural properties of the Layers model, a dependent percolation model. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, let…

For given posets $P$ and $Q$ and an integer $n$, the generalized Tur\'an problem for posets, asks for the maximum number of copies of $Q$ in a $P$-free subset of the $n$-dimensional Boolean lattice, $2^{[n]}$. In this paper, among other…

A natural question, inspired by the famous Ryser-Brualdi-Stein Conjecture, is to determine the largest positive integer $g(r,n)$ such that every collection of $n$ matchings, each of size $n$, in an $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph…

More than 50 years ago, Erd\H os asked the following question: what is the maximum size of a family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set if it has no $s+1$ pairwise disjoint sets? This question attracted a lot of…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…

In this paper we determine the percolation threshold for an arbitrary sequence of dense graphs $(G_n)$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G_n$, and let $G_n(p_n)$ be the random subgraph of $G_n$ obtained…

Let $\mathcal{T}^d(1)$ be the set of all $d$-dimensional simplices $T$ in $\real^d$ with integer vertices and a single integer point in the interior of $T$. It follows from a result of Hensley that $\mathcal{T}^d(1)$ is finite up to affine…

A path in an edge-colored graph is rainbow if no two edges of it are colored the same, and the graph is rainbow-connected if there is a rainbow path between each pair of its vertices. The minimum number of colors needed to rainbow-connect a…

A graph $G$ is equimatchable if any matching in $G$ is a subset of a maximum-size matching. It is known that any $2$-connected equimatchable graph is either bipartite or factor-critical. We prove that for any vertex $v$ of a $2$-connected…

Given a set $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, we call a copy of a graph in $\mathcal{F}$ an $\mathcal{F}$-graph. The $\mathcal{F}$-isolation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,\mathcal{F})$, is the size of a smallest set $D$ of vertices of…

Let G be an arithmetic Kleinian group, and let O be the associated hyperbolic 3-orbifold or 3-manifold. In this paper, we prove that, in many cases, G is large, which means that some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism…

Given a poset $P$ we say a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq P$ is centered if it is obtained by `taking sets as close to the middle layer as possible'. A poset $P$ is said to have the centeredness property if for any $M$, among all families of…

We introduce the graph parameter boolean-width, related to the number of different unions of neighborhoods across a cut of a graph. Boolean-width is similar to rank-width, which is related to the number of $GF[2]$-sums (1+1=0) of…
