Let $\Phi(x,y)\in\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be a symmetric polynomial of partial degree $d$. The graph $G(\Phi)$ is defined by taking $\mathbb{C}$ as set of vertices and the points of $\mathbb{V}(\Phi(x,y))$ as edges. We study the following problem:…

Given a level set $E$ of an arbitrary multiplicative function $f$, we establish, by building on the fundamental work of Frantzikinakis and Host [13,14], a structure theorem which gives a decomposition of $\mathbb{1}_E$ into an almost…

General factors are a generalization of matchings. Given a graph $G$ with a set $\pi(v)$ of feasible degrees, called a degree constraint, for each vertex $v$ of $G$, the general factor problem is to find a (spanning) subgraph $F$ of $G$…

A hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{$\chi$-bounded} if there exists a function $f$ such that every graph $G \in \mathcal{G}$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq f(\omega(G))$, where $\chi(G)$ and $\omega(G)$ are the chromatic number and…

If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$ in graph $G$, then it is called the independence polynomial of $G$ (Gutman and Harary, 1983). J. I. Brown, K. Dilcher and…

The Harary reconstruction conjecture states that any graph with more than four edges can be uniquely reconstructed from its set of maximal edge-deleted subgraphs. In 1977, M\"uller verified the conjecture for graphs with $n$ vertices and $n…

Let $M=(m_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ matrix. The second immanant of matrix $M$ is defined by \begin{eqnarray*} d_{2}(M)=\sum_{\sigma\in S_{n}}\chi_{2}(\sigma)\prod_{s=1}^{n}m_{s\sigma(s)}, \end{eqnarray*} where $\chi_{2}$ is the irreducible…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets have the same size, denoted by alpha(G) (M. D. Plummer, 1970). If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$…

Suppose $G$ is a simple graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and rank $r$. Let $\chi_G(t)=a_0t^n-a_1t^{n-1}+\cdots +(-1)^ra_rt^{n-r}$ be the chromatic polynomial of $G$. For $q,k\in \Bbb{Z}$ and $0\le k\le q+r+1$, we obtain a sharp two-side…

We show that if a graph $G$ has average degree $\bar d \geq 4$, then the Ihara zeta function of $G$ is edge-reconstructible. We prove some general spectral properties of the edge adjacency operator $T$: it is symmetric for an indefinite…

A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that strongly regular graphs with at least six vertices are $2$-reconstructible.
