Kneser's 1955 conjecture -- proven by Lov\'asz in 1978 -- asserts that in any partition of the $k$-subsets of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ into $n-2k-3$ parts, one part contains two disjoint sets. Schrijver showed that one can restrict to…
We initiate the study of what we refer to as random walk labelings of graphs. These are graph labelings that are obtainable by performing a random walk on the graph, such that the labeling occurs increasingly whenever an unlabeled vertex is…
A good edge-labelling of a simple, finite graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for every ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. In this paper we prove that any graph on…
Reed conjectured that for every graph, $\chi \leq \left \lceil \frac{\Delta + \omega + 1}{2} \right \rceil$ holds, where $\chi$, $\omega$ and $\Delta$ denote the chromatic number, clique number and maximum degree of the graph, respectively.…
A celebrated conjecture of Tuza states that in any finite graph the minimum size of a cover of triangles by edges is at most twice the maximum size of a set of edge-disjoint triangles. For an $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) $G$, let…
Mader conjectured in 1979 that an average degree of at least $3k-1$ in a graph is sufficient for the existence of a $(k+1)$-connected subgraph. The following minimum degree analogue holds: Every graph with minimum degree at least $3k-1$…
One of the most famous conjecture in graph theory is Hedetniemi's conjecture stating that the chromatic number of the categorical product of graphs is the minimum of their chromatic numbers. Using a suitable extension of the definition of…
Kim, K\"uhn, Osthus and Tyomkyn (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 371 (2019), 4655--4742) greatly extended the well-known blow-up lemma of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi by proving a `blow-up lemma for approximate decompositions' which states…
In 1985, Golumbic and Scheinerman established an equivalence between comparability graphs and containment graphs, graphs whose vertices represent sets, with edges indicating set containment. A few years earlier, McMorris and Zaslavsky…
A famous conjecture of Ryser states that every $r$-partite hypergraph has vertex cover number at most $r - 1$ times the matching number. In recent years, hypergraphs meeting this conjectured bound, known as $r$-Ryser hypergraphs, have been…
We develop a clear connection between deFinetti's theorem for exchangeable arrays (work of Aldous--Hoover--Kallenberg) and the emerging area of graph limits (work of Lovasz and many coauthors). Along the way, we translate the graph theory…
S. B. Rao conjectured that graphic sequences are well-quasi-ordered under an inclusion based on induced subgraphs. This conjecture has now been proved by Chudnovsky and Seymour. We give an independent short proof of the labelled version of…
A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is 2 but the removal of any edge increases the diameter. A well-studied conjecture, known as the Murty-Simon conjecture, states that any diameter-2-critical graph of order n has at most…
We analyse an extremal question on the degrees of the link graphs of a finite regular graph, that is, the subgraphs induced by non-trivial spheres. We show that if $G$ is $d$-regular and connected but not complete then some link graph of…
A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on $n$ vertices is at most $\lfloor…
Let $k$ be a positive integer. Bermond and Thomassen conjectured in 1981 that every digraph with minimum outdegree at least $2k-1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles. It is famous as one of the one hundred unsolved problems selected in…
The Buratti-Horak-Rosa Conjecture concerns the possible multisets of edge-labels of a Hamiltonian path in the complete graph with vertex labels $0, 1, \ldots, {v-1}$ under a particular induced edge-labeling. The conjecture has been shown to…
We prove several results about three families of graphs. For queen graphs, defined from the usual moves of a chess queen, we find the edge-chromatic number in almost all cases. In the unproved case, we have a conjecture supported by a vast…
The Graceful Tree Conjecture of Rosa from 1967 asserts that the vertices of each tree T of order n can be injectively labelled by using the numbers {1,2,...,n} in such a way that the absolute differences induced on the edges are pairwise…
In this paper, we make progress on a question related to one of Galvin that has attracted substantial attention recently. The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\Delta(G)\leq r$, which has the most…
