The energy of a graph G, denoted by E(G), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of G. It is proved that E(G)>= 2(n-\chi(\bar{G}))>= 2(ch(G)-1) for every graph G of order n, and that E(G)>= 2ch(G) for all graphs G…

Given two weighted graphs $(X,b_k,m_k)$, $k=1,2$ with $b_1\sim b_2$ and $m_1\sim m_2$, we prove a weighted $L^1$-criterion for the existence and completeness of the wave operators $ W_{\pm}(H_{2},H_1, I_{1,2})$, where $H_k$ denotes the…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if and only if $xy\in E$. For integers $n>k>0 $, the shift graph $G(n,k)$ is the graph whose vertex set…

A $k$-{\it edge-weighting} $w$ of a graph $G$ is an assignment of an integer weight, $w(e)\in \{1,\dots, k\}$, to each edge $e$. An edge weighting naturally induces a vertex coloring $c$ by defining $c(u)=\sum_{u\sim e} w(e)$ for every $u…

We show that for a sequence of random graphs Brouwer's conjecture holds true with probability tending to one as the number of vertices tends to infinity. Surprisingly, it was found that a similar statement holds true for weighted graphs…

For a simple graph $G$, denote by $n$, $\Delta(G)$, and $\chi'(G)$ its order, maximum degree, and chromatic index, respectively. A connected class 2 graph $G$ is edge-chromatic critical if $\chi'(G-e)<\Delta(G)+1$ for every edge $e$ of $G$.…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner of an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ satisfying that $dist(u, v, H) \leq \alpha \cdot dist(u, v, G)+\beta$ for every pair $(u, v)\in V \times V$, where $dist(u,v,G')$ denotes the distance…

For a hypergraph G and a positive integer s, let \chi_{\ell} (G,s) be the minimum value of l such that G is L-colorable from every list L with |L(v)|=l for each v\in V(G) and |L(u)\cap L(v)|\leq s for all u, v\in e\in E(G). This parameter…

Let $g$ be a bounded symmetric measurable nonnegative function on $[0,1]^2$, and $\left\lVert g \right\rVert = \int_{[0,1]^2} g(x,y) dx dy$. For a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$, we define \[ t(G,g) \;…

The square of a graph $G$, denoted by $G^2$, has the same vertex set as $G$ and has an edge between two vertices if the distance between them in $G$ is at most $2$. Thomassen (2018) and independently, Hartke, Jahanbekam and Thomas (2016)…

A (1,{\lambda})-embedded graph is a graph that can be embedded on a surface with Euler characteristic {\lambda} so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. A graph G is called {\alpha}-linear if there exists an integral constant…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is called equistable if there exist a positive integer $t$ and a weight function $w : V \to \mathbb{N}$ such that $S \subseteq V$ is a maximal stable set of $G$ if and only if $w(S) = t$. Such a function $w$ is called an…

The 1-2-3 Conjecture, posed by Karo\'{n}ski, {\L}uczak and Thomason, asked whether every connected graph $G$ different from $K_2$ can be 3-edge-weighted so that every two adjacent vertices of $G$ get distinct sums of incident weights. The…

A graph $G$ is called $3$-choice critical if $G$ is not $2$-choosable but any proper subgraph is $2$-choosable. A characterization of $3$-choice critical graphs was given by Voigt in [On list Colourings and Choosability of Graphs,…

A weighted graph $G^{\omega}$ consists of a simple graph $G$ with a weight $\omega$, which is a mapping,$\omega$: $E(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$. A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled with $-1$ or $1$. In this paper,…

Let $m:=|E(G)|$ sufficiently large and $s:=(m-1)/3$. We show that unless the maximum degree $\Delta > 2s$, there is a weighting $w:E\cup V\to \{0,1,...,s\}$ so that $w(uv)+w(u)+w(v)\ne w(u'v')+w(u')+w(v')$ whenever $uv\ne u'v'$ (such a…

The 1-2-3 Conjecture asks whether almost all graphs can be (edge-)labelled with $1,2,3$ so that no two adjacent vertices are incident to the same sum of labels. In the last decades, several aspects of this problem have been studied in…

We show that every graph with two crossings is 5-choosable. We also prove that every graph which can be made planar by removing one edge is 5-choosable.

A graph G is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function w is defined on its vertices. Then G is w-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight. For…

A graph is said to be $\mathcal{H}(n, \Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. Using a `matching-based' embedding technique introduced by Alon and F\"uredi, Dellamonica, Kohayakawa,…
