The restricted $h$-connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kappa^h(G)$, is defined as the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices $F$ in $G$, if exists, whose removal disconnects $G$ and the minimum degree of each component of $G-F$ is…

Recently, Berge theta hypergraphs have received special attention due to the similarity with Berge even cycles. Let $r$-uniform Berge theta hypergraph $\Theta_{\ell,t}^{B}$ be the $r$-uniform hypergraph consisting of $t$ internally disjoint…

Let $G$ and $H$ be simple 3-connected graphs such that $G$ has an $H$-minor. An edge $e$ in $G$ is called {\it $H$-deletable} if $G\backslash e$ is 3-connected and has an $H$-minor. The main result in this paper establishes that, if $G$ has…

For a graph $G$ and $a,b\in V(G)$, the shortest path reconfiguration graph of $G$ with respect to $a$ and $b$ is denoted by $S(G,a,b)$. The vertex set of $S(G,a,b)$ is the set of all shortest paths between $a$ and $b$ in $G$. Two vertices…

For a graph on $m$ edges, a bijective function between the edge set of the graph and $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ is an antimagic labeling provided that when adding the labels of the edges incident to the same vertex, the sums are pairwise distinct.…

A graph $G$ of order $n>2$ is pancyclic if $G$ contains a cycle of length $l$ for each integer $l$ with $3 \leq l \leq n $ and it is called vertex-pancyclic if every vertex is contained in a cycle of length $l$ for every $3 \leq l \leq n $.…

A graph $G$ has maximal local edge-connectivity $k$ if the maximum number of edge-disjoint paths between every pair of distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ is at most $k$. We prove Brooks-type theorems for $k$-connected graphs with maximal local…

We say that a graph $G$ is $(2,m)$-linked if, for any distinct vertices $a_1,\ldots, a_m, b_1,b_2$ in $G$, there exist vertex disjoint connected subgraphs $A,B$ of $G$ such that $\{a_1, \ldots, a_m\}$ is contained in $A$ and $\{b_1,b_2\}$…

Let $c\in (0, 1]$ be a real number and let $n$ be a sufficiently large integer. We prove that every $n$-vertex $c n$-regular graph $G$ contains a collection of $\lfloor 1/c \rfloor$ paths whose union covers all but at most $o(n)$ vertices…

We construct a partial order relation which acts on the set of 3-cliques of a maximal planar graph G and defines a unique hierarchy. We demonstrate that G is the union of a set of special subgraphs, named `bubbles', that are themselves…

The general position number ${\rm gp}(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest set $S$ of vertices such that no three pairwise distinct vertices from $S$ lie on a common geodesic. The $n$-dimensional grid graph $\pn$ is…

We revisit the Maximum Node-Disjoint Paths problem, the natural optimization version of Node-Disjoint Paths, where we are given a graph $G$, $k$ pairs of vertices $(s_i, t_i)$ and an integer $\ell$, and are asked whether there exist at…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph of order $n$, $S$ a subset of $V$ of size $k$ and $2\le k\leq n$. Strong subgraphs $D_1, \dots , D_p$ containing $S$ are said to be internally disjoint if $V(D_i)\cap V(D_j)=S$ and $A(D_i)\cap A(D_j)=\emptyset$…

A graph is $n$-existentially closed ($n$-e.c.) if for any disjoint subsets $A$, $B$ of vertices with $|{A \cup B}|=n$, there is a vertex $z \notin A \cup B$ adjacent to every vertex of $A$ and no vertex of $B$. For a block design with block…

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…

A \emph{simple} $s,t$ path $P$ in a rectangular grid graph $\mathbb{G}$ is a Hamiltonian path from the top-left corner $s$ to the bottom-right corner $t$ such that each \emph{internal} subpath of $P$ with both endpoints $a$ and $b$ on the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. The third atom-bond connectivity index, $ABC_3$ index, of $G$ is defined as $ABC_3(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{\frac{e(u)+e(v)-2}{e(u)e(v)}}$, where…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be any undirected graph on $V$ vertices and $E$ edges. A path $\textbf{P}$ between any two vertices $u,v\in V$ is said to be $t$-approximate shortest path if its length is at most $t$ times the length of the shortest path…
