The Matching Cut problem is to decide if the vertex set of a connected graph can be partitioned into two non-empty sets $B$ and $R$ such that the edges between $B$ and $R$ form a matching, that is, every vertex in $B$ has at most one…

A general method for constructing sharply $k$-arc-transitive digraphs, i.e. digraphs that are $k$-arc-transitive but not $(k+1)$-arc-transitive, is presented. Using our method it is possible to construct both finite and infinite examples.…

In an attempt to understanding the complexity of the independent set problem, Chv{\'a}tal defined t-perfect graphs. While a full characterization of this class is still at large, progress has been achieved for claw-free graphs [Bruhn and…

In the k-Disjoint Shortest Paths problem, a set of terminal pairs of vertices $\{(s_i,t_i)\mid 1\le i\le k\}$ is given and we are asked to find paths $P_1,\ldots,P_k$ such that each path $P_i$ is a shortest path from $s_i$ to $t_i$ and…

A graph is half-arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on its vertex set, edge set, but not its arc set. In this paper, we study all tetravalent half-arc-transitive graphs of order $12p$.

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the $H$-free Edge Editing problem is to find whether there exists at most $k$ pairs of vertices in $G$ such that changing the adjacency of the pairs in $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of…

We view a design $\mathcal{D}$ as a set of $k$-subsets of a fixed set $X$ of $v$ points. A $k$-subset of $X$ is at distance $i$ from $\mathcal{D}$ if it intersects some $k$-set in $\mathcal{D}$ in $k-i$ points, and no subset in more than…

A $k$-regular graph is called a divisible design graph (DDG for short) if its vertex set can be partitioned into $m$ classes of size $n$, such that two distinct vertices from the same class have exactly $\lambda_1$ common neighbors, and two…

For a graph class $\Pi$, the $\Pi$-Vertex Deletion problem has as input an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$ and asks whether there is a set of at most $k$ vertices that can be deleted from $G$ such that the resulting graph is a…

A graph is said to be a Konig graph if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the size of its minimum vertex cover. The Konig Edge Deletion problem asks if in a given graph there exists a set of at most k edges whose deletion results…

In this paper, we introduce a new problem called Tree-Residue Vertex-Breaking (TRVB): given a multigraph $G$ some of whose vertices are marked "breakable," is it possible to convert $G$ into a tree via a sequence of "vertex-breaking"…

The fact that the adjacency matrix of every finite graph is diagonalizable plays a fundamental role in spectral graph theory. Since this fact does not hold in general for digraphs, it is natural to ask whether it holds for digraphs with…

We will state 10 problems, and solve some of them, for partitions in triangle-free graphs related to Erd\H{o}s' Sparse Half Conjecture. Among others we prove the following variant of it: For every sufficiently large even integer $n$ the…

From the point of view of discrete geometry, the class of locally finite transitive graphs is a wide and important one. The subclass of Cayley graphs is of particular interest, as testifies the development of geometric group theory. Recall…

The Tur\'an problem asks for the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph not containing a fixed forbidden subgraph $F$. We construct a new family of graphs not containing $K_{s,t}$, for $t= C^s$, with $\Omega(n^{2-1/s})$ edges…

The notion of forbidden-transition graphs allows for a robust generalization of walks in graphs. In a forbidden-transition graph, every pair of edges incident to a common vertex is permitted or forbidden; a walk is compatible if all pairs…

We study the computability and complexity of the exploration problem in a class of highly dynamic graphs: periodically varying (PV) graphs, where the edges exist only at some (unknown) times defined by the periodic movements of carriers.…

An antidirected trail in a digraph is a trail (a walk with no arc repeated) in which the arcs alternate between forward and backward arcs. An antidirected path is an antidirected trail where no vertex is repeated. We show that it is…

Cai et al.\ proved that a toroidal graph $G$ without $6$-cycles is $5$-choosable, and proposed the conjecture that $\textsf{ch}(G) = 5$ if and only if $G$ contains a $K_{5}$ [J. Graph Theory 65 (2010) 1--15], where $\textsf{ch}(G)$ is the…
