Galvin showed that for all fixed $\delta$ and sufficiently large $n$, the $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $\delta$ that admits the most independent sets is the complete bipartite graph $K_{\delta,n-\delta}$. He conjectured that except…

In 2004, Karo\'nski, \L uczak and Thomason proposed $1$-$2$-$3$-conjecture: For every nice graph $G$ there is an edge weighting function $ w:E(G)\rightarrow\{1,2,3\} $ such that the induced vertex coloring is proper. After that, the total…

The "slope-number" of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge slopes in a straight-line drawing of $G$ in the plane. We prove that for $\Delta\geq5$ and all large $n$, there is a $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with…

An \emph{$H$-packing} in a graph $G$ is a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in $G$. We prove that for every $c > 0$ and every bipartite graph $H$, any $\lfloor cn \rfloor$-regular graph $G$ admits an $H$-packing that…

The $g$-girth-thickness $\theta(g,G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of planar subgraphs of girth at least $g$ whose union is $G$. In this note, we give the $4$-girth-thickness $\theta(4,L(K_n))$ of the line graph of the complete…

A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_4-e$ graphical if it has a realization containing a $K_4-e$ as a subgraph. Let $\sigma(K_4-e, n)$ denote the smallest degree sum such that every $n$-term graphical sequence $S$ with $\sigma(S)\geq…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. If $G$ contains a matching of size $k$, and every matching of size $k$ is contained in a perfect matching of $G$, then $G$ is said to be \emph{$k$-extendable}. A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$ is called a…

Let K_r^- denote the graph obtained from K_r by deleting one edge. We show that for every integer r\ge 4 there exists an integer n_0=n_0(r) such that every graph G whose order n\ge n_0 is divisible by r and whose minimum degree is at least…

A graph $G$ is $m$-joined if there is an edge between every two disjoint $m$-sets of vertices. In this paper, we prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and sufficiently large $m, n\in \mathbb{N}$ with $m \le n^{1-\varepsilon}$, every $n$-vertex…

We establish the following strengthening of the celebrated Andr{\'a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s theorem: If $G$ is an $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-free graph whose minimum degree $\delta(G)$ and maximum degree $\Delta(G)$ satisfy \begin{align*}…

A fundamental result of K\"uhn and Osthus [The minimum degree threshold for perfect graph packings, Combinatorica, 2009] determines up to an additive constant the minimum degree threshold that forces a graph to contain a perfect H-tiling.…

A conjecture of Chung and Graham states that every $K_4$-free graph on $n$ vertices contains a vertex set of size $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor$ that spans at most $n^2/18$ edges. We make the first step toward this conjecture by showing that it…

Let $I=I(D)$ be the edge ideal of a weighted oriented graph $D$, let $G$ be the underlying graph of $D$, and let $I^{(n)}$ be the $n$-th symbolic power of $I$ defined using the minimal primes of $I$. We prove that $I^2=I^{(2)}$ if and only…

The problem of finding, in an edge-weighted bidirected graph $G=(V,E)$, a cycle with minimum mean weight of its edges generalizes similar problems for both directed and undirected graphs. (The problem is considered in two variants: for the…

Given graphs $G, H_1, H_2$, we write $G \rightarrow ({H}_1, H_2)$ if every $\{$red, blue$\}$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a red copy of $H_1$ or a blue copy of $H_2$. A non-complete graph $G$ is $(H_1, H_2)$-co-critical if $G…
