Let $G$ be a simple graph with order $n$, maximum degree $\D(G)$, minimum degree $\delta(G)$ and chromatic index $\chi'(G)$, respectively. A graph $G$ is called {\em $\D$-critical} if $\chi'(G)=\D(G)+1$ and $\chi'(H)\textless \chi'(G)$ for…
We investigate lower bounds on the average degree in r-cliques in graphs of order n and size greater than t(r,n), where t(r,n) is the size of the Turan graph on n vertices and r color classes. Continuing earlier research of Edwards and…
Given a simple graph $G$, denote by $\Delta(G)$, $\delta(G)$, and $\chi'(G)$ the maximum degree, the minimum degree, and the chromatic index of $G$, respectively. We say $G$ is \emph{$\Delta$-critical} if $\chi'(G)=\Delta(G)+1$ and…
A {\it krausz $(k,m)$-partition} of a graph $G$ is the partition of $G$ into cliques, such that any vertex belongs to at most $k$ cliques and any two cliques have at most $m$ vertices in common. The {\it $m$-krausz} dimension $kdim_m(G)$ of…
A graph $G$ is said to have \textit{bandwidth} at most $b$, if there exists a labeling of the vertices by $1,2,..., n$, so that $|i - j| \leq b$ whenever $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. Recently, B\"{o}ttcher, Schacht, and Taraz verified a…
Weak diameter coloring of graphs recently attracted attention partially due to its connection to asymptotic dimension of metric spaces. We consider weak diameter list-coloring of graphs in this paper. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Norin proved that…
We prove that the dimension of every poset whose comparability graph has maximum degree $\Delta$ is at most $\Delta\log^{1+o(1)} \Delta$. This result improves on a 30-year old bound of F\"uredi and Kahn, and is within a $\log^{o(1)}\Delta$…
The second author's $\omega$, $\Delta$, $\chi$ conjecture proposes that every graph satisties $\chi \leq \lceil \frac 12 (\Delta+1+\omega)\rceil$. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw-free graphs. Our approach uses…
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with order $ n(G)$, local metric dimension $ {\rm dim}_l(G)$, local adjacency metric dimension $ {\rm dim}_{A,l}(G)$, and clique number $ \omega(G)$, where $G\not\cong K_{n(G)}$ and $\omega(G)\geq3$. It…
We asymptotically determine the maximum density of subgraphs isomorphic to $H$, where $H$ is any graph containing a dominating vertex, in graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree and bounded clique number. That is, we…
We consider problems that can be formulated as a task of finding an optimal triangulation of a graph w.r.t. some notion of optimality. We present algorithms parameterized by the size of a minimum edge clique cover ($cc$) to such problems.…
We consider a problem introduced by Feige, Gamarnik, Neeman, R\'acz and Tetali [2020], that of finding a large clique in a random graph $G\sim G(n,\frac{1}{2})$, where the graph $G$ is accessible by queries to entries of its adjacency…
We consider three extremal problems about the number of copies of a fixed graph in another larger graph. First, we correct an error in a result of Reiher and Wagner and prove that the number of $k$-edge stars in a graph with density $x \in…
Two subgraphs $A,B$ of a graph $G$ are anticomplete if they are vertex-disjoint and there are no edges joining them. Is it true that if $G$ is a graph with bounded clique number, and sufficiently large chromatic number, then it has two…
Problem of finding an optimal upper bound for a chromatic no. of 3K1-free graphs is still open and pretty hard. Here we find a tight chromatic upper bound for {3K1, C5}-free graphs. We prove that if G is {3K1, C5}-free, then the chromatic…
In 1972, Erd\"{o}s - Faber - Lov\'{a}sz (EFL) conjectured that, if $\textbf{H}$ is a linear hypergraph consisting of $n$ edges of cardinality $n$, then it is possible to color the vertices with $n$ colors so that no two vertices with the…
It was recently proved that any graph satisfying $\omega > \frac 23(\Delta+1)$ contains a stable set hitting every maximum clique. In this note we prove that the same is true for graphs satisfying $\omega \geq \frac 23(\Delta+1)$ unless the…
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…
In this paper, we study the order of a maximal clique in an amply regular graph with a fixed smallest eigenvalue by considering a vertex that is adjacent to some (but not all) vertices of the maximal clique. As a consequence, we show that…
This paper studies sufficient conditions to obtain efficient distributed algorithms coloring graphs optimally (i.e.\ with the minimum number of colors) in the LOCAL model of computation. Most of the work on distributed vertex coloring so…
