We introduce a dense counterpart of graph degeneracy, which extends the recently-proposed invariant symmetric difference. We say that a graph has sd-degeneracy (for symmetric-difference degeneracy) at most $d$ if it admits an elimination…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if for any generic placement $p : V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ of the vertices, the edge lengths $||p(u) - p(v)||, uv \in E$ uniquely determine $p$, up to congruence. In this paper we…

Let $\Pi$ be a hereditary graph class. The problem of deletion to $\Pi$, takes as input a graph $G$ and asks for a minimum number (or a fixed integer $k$) of vertices to be deleted from $G$ so that the resulting graph belongs to $\Pi$. This…

We characterise the structure of those graphs of a given order which maximise the number of connected induced subgraphs for seven different graph classes, each with other prescribed parameters like minimum degree, independence number,…

A graph $G$ is said to be chordal if it has no induced cycles of length four or more. In a recent preprint Culbertson, Guralnik, and Stiller give a new characterization of chordal graphs in terms of sequences of what they call…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A connected edge cover of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq E$ such that every vertex of $G$ is incident with at least one edge in $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is connected. The connected edge…

Let $ G=(V,E) $ be a simple graph of order $ n $ and size $ m $. A connected edge cover set of a graph is a subset $S$ of edges such that every vertex of the graph is incident to at least one edge of $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is…

The definition of edge-regularity in graphs is a relaxation of the definition of strong regularity, so strongly regular graphs are edge-regular and, not surprisingly, the family of edge-regular graphs is much larger and more diverse than…

A strong edge colouring of a graph is an assignment of colours to the edges of the graph such that for every colour, the set of edges that are given that colour form an induced matching in the graph. The strong chromatic index of a graph…

In this paper we introduced an arithmetic graph function which associates with every group G the directed graph whose vertices corresponds to the divisors of |G|. With the help of such functions we introduced arithmetic graphs of classes of…

The local complement G*i of a simple graph G at one of its vertices i is obtained by complementing the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of i and leaving the rest of the graph unchanged. If e={i,j} is an edge of G then G*e=((G*i)*j)*i is…

Daligault, Rao and Thomass\'e asked whether a hereditary class of graphs well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation has bounded clique-width. Lozin, Razgon and Zamaraev recently showed that this is not true for classes defined by…

An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if $G-S$ is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…

A hereditary class H of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a $\chi$-binding function f such that for every $G$ in $H$, $\chi(G)$ less than or equal to $f(\omega(G))$. Here we prove that if a graph $G$ is free of 1. {Chair; P$_4$+K$_1$} or…

Let $ir(G)$ and $\gamma(G)$ be the irredundance number and the domination number of a graph $G$, respectively. A graph $G$ is called irredundance perfect if $ir(H)=\gamma(H)$ for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$. The subclass of $P_6$-free…
