We consider the following problem: Let $H$ and $F$ be two graphs on $k$ vertices and assume $F \neq H$. We say that $H$ and $F$ are incomparable if neither $F$ nor $H$ contains the other. Let $H$ be a graph on $k$ vertices and let $G$ be a…

In this paper, we give a lengthy proof of a small result! A graph is bisplit if its vertex set can be partitioned into three stable sets with two of them inducing a complete bipartite graph. We prove that these graphs satisfy the…

We show that the following problems are NP-complete. 1. Can the vertex set of a graph be partitioned into two sets such that each set induces a perfect graph? 2. Is the difference between the chromatic number and clique number at most $1$…

A {\em $(d,h)$-decomposition} of a graph $G$ is an order pair $(D,H)$ such that $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ where $H$ has the maximum degree at most $h$ and $D$ is an acyclic orientation of $G-E(H)$ of maximum out-degree at most $d$. A graph…

The divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a finite group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $cs~(G)\setminus\{1\}$ where $cs~(G)$ is the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. Two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent whenever $a$ divides $b$ or $b$ divides…

We characterise $t$-perfect plane triangulations by forbidden induced subgraphs. As a consequence, we obtain that a plane triangulation is $h$-perfect if and only if it is perfect.

Let $X = (V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $C \subseteq V(X)$ is a \emph{perfect code} of $X$ if $C$ is a coclique of $X$ with the property that any vertex in $V(X)\setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. Given a finite group $G$…

Let $G$ be a $2$-generated group. The generating graph $\Gamma(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and where two vertices $g_1$ and $g_2$ are adjacent if $G = \langle g_1, g_2 \rangle.$ This graph encodes the…

Motivated by applications in graph drawing and information visualization, we examine the planar split thickness of a graph, that is, the smallest $k$ such that the graph is $k$-splittable into a planar graph. A $k$-split operation…

The Hadwiger number of a graph $G$, denoted by $h(G)$, is the order of the largest complete minor of $G$. A graph is said to be self-complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement. We prove that for all $n\equiv 0,1 (\text{mod 4})$ and…

Homomorphically full graphs are those for which every homomorphic image is isomorphic to a subgraph. We extend the definition of homomorphically full to oriented graphs in two different ways. For the first of these, we show that…

A perfect $H$-tiling in a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of a graph $H$ in $G$ that covers all vertices of $G$. Motivated by papers of Bush and Zhao and of Balogh, Treglown, and Wagner, we determine the threshold for…

For a graph $G$ with the vertex set $V(G)$ and the edge set $E(G)$ and a star subgraph $S$ of $G$, let $\alpha_S(G)$ be the maximum number of vertices in $G$ such that no two of them are in the same star subgraph $S$ and $\theta_S(G)$ be…

A decomposition of a graph is a set of subgraphs whose edges partition those of $G$. The 3-decomposition conjecture posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof in 2011 states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a…

The undirected power graph (or simply power graph) of a group $G$, denoted by $P(G)$, is a graph whose vertices are the elements of the group $G$, in which two vertices $u$ and $v$ are connected by an edge between if and only if either…

We study the problem of partitioning the edges of a $d$-uniform hypergraph $H$ into a family $F$ of complete $d$-partite hypergraphs ($d$-cliques). We show that there is a partition $F$ in which every vertex $v \in V(H)$ belongs to at most…

The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…

A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, these graphs are studied by presenting some examples and defining some of their sub-structures such as removable…

In this note, we fix a graph $H$ and ask into how many vertices can each vertex of a clique of size $n$ can be "split" such that the resulting graph is $H$-free. Formally: A graph is an $(n,k)$-graph if its vertex sets is a pairwise…

In a graph $\Gamma$ with vertex set $V$, a subset $C$ of $V$ is called an $(a,b)$-perfect set if every vertex in $C$ has exactly $a$ neighbors in $C$ and every vertex in $V\setminus C$ has exactly $b$ neighbors in $C$, where $a$ and $b$ are…
