The reassembling of a simple connected graph G = (V,E) is an abstraction of a problem arising in earlier studies of network analysis. The reassembling process has a simple formulation (there are several equivalent formulations) relative to…

Let $V$ be a set of cardinality $v$ (possibly infinite). Two graphs $G$ and $G'$ with vertex set $V$ are {\it isomorphic up to complementation} if $G'$ is isomorphic to $G$ or to the complement $\bar G$ of $G$. Let $k$ be a non-negative…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, Tverberg's theorem guarantees the existence of partitions of this set into parts whose convex hulls intersect. We introduce a graph structured on the family of Tverberg partitions of a given…

We study the problem of generating graphs with prescribed degree sequences for bipartite, directed, and undirected networks. We first propose a sequential method for bipartite graph generation and establish a necessary and sufficient…

The biclique partition number $(\text{bp})$ of a graph $G$ is referred to as the least number of complete bipartite (biclique) subgraphs that are required to cover the edges of the graph exactly once. In this paper, we show that the…

We consider the family of graphs whose vertex set is Z^k where two vertices are connected by an edge when their l\infty-distance is 1. We prove the optimal vertex isoperimetric inequality for this family of graphs. That is, given a positive…

A complete graph is the graph in which every two vertices are adjacent. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, the complete width of $G$ is the minimum $k$ such that there exist $k$ independent sets $\mathtt{N}_i\subseteq V$, $1\le i\le k$, such that the…

A $k$-bisection of a multigraph $G$ is a partition of its vertex set into two parts of the same cardinality such that every component of each part has at most $k$ vertices. Cui and Liu shown that every claw-free cubic multigraph contains a…

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 this paper, we show that every $2m$-partition-connected graph $G$ has a bipartite $m$-partition-connected factor $H$ such that for each vertex $v$, $d_H(v)\le \lceil \frac{3}{4}d_G(v)\rceil$. A graph $H$ is said to be…

Let s<t be two fixed positive integers. We study what are the minimum degree conditions for a bipartite graph G, with both color classes of size n=k(s+t), which ensure that G has a K_{s,t}-factor. Exact result for large n is given. Our…

Consider two graphs G_1 and G_2 on the same vertex set V and suppose that G_i has m_i edges. Then there is a bipartition of V into two classes A and B so that for both i=1,2 the number of edges between A and B in G_i is (1+o(1))m_i/2. This…

In this paper, we show that every highly edge-connected graph $G$, under a necessary and sufficient degree condition, can be edge-decomposed into $k$ factors $G_1,\ldots, G_k$ such that for each vertex $v\in V(G_i)$ with $1\le i\le k$,…

Determining whether there exists a graph such that its crossing number and pair crossing number are distinct is an important open problem in geometric graph theory. We show that $\textit{cr}(G)=O(\mathop{\mathrm{pcr}}(G)^{3/2})$ for every…

One of the major results of [N. Robertson and P. D. Seymour. Graph minors. XIII. The disjoint paths problem. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 63(1):65--110, 1995], also known as the weak structure theorem, revealed the local structure of graphs…

Bipartite graphs model the relationships between two disjoint sets of entities in several applications and are naturally drawn as 2-layer graph drawings. In such drawings, the two sets of entities (vertices) are placed on two parallel lines…

A Not-All-Equal (NAE) decomposition of a graph $G$ is a decomposition of the vertices of $G$ into two parts such that each vertex in $G$ has at least one neighbor in each part. Also, a 1-in-Degree decomposition of a graph $G$ is a…
