Let $w:[0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a symmetric function, and consider the random process $G(n,w)$, where vertices are chosen from $[0,1]$ uniformly at random, and $w$ governs the edge formation probability. Such a random graph is said to…

A graph is {\em perfect} if, in all its induced subgraphs, the size of a largest clique is equal to the chromatic number. Examples of perfect graphs include bipartite graphs, line graphs of bipartite graphs and the complements of such…

A proper vertex coloring of a graph is equitable if the sizes of all color classes differ by at most $1$. For a list assignment $L$ of $k$ colors to each vertex of an $n$-vertex graph $G$, an equitable $L$-coloring of $G$ is a proper…

A graph is well-covered if every maximal independent set has the same cardinality. The recognition problem of well-covered graphs is known to be co-NP-complete. Let w be a weight function defined on the vertices of G. Then G is…

Consider the uniform random graph $G(n,M)$ with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges. Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi (1960) conjectured that the limit $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \Pr\{G(n,\textstyle{n\over 2}) is planar}} $$ exists and is a constant strictly…

The {\em square} of a graph $G$, denoted $G^2$, has the same vertex set as $G$ and an edge between any two vertices at distance at most $2$ in $G$. Wegner (1977) conjectured that for a planar graph $G$, $\chi(G^2) \leq 7$ if $\Delta(G) =…

It has been conjectured that for every claw-free graph $G$ the choice number of $G$ is equal to its chromatic number. We focus on the special case of this conjecture where $G$ is perfect. Claw-free perfect graphs can be decomposed via…

A perfect Italian dominating function of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a function $f : V \to \{0,1,2\}$ such that for every vertex $f(v) = 0$, it holds that $\sum_{u \in N(v)} f(u) = 2$, i.e., the weight of the labels assigned by $f$ to the…

A total weighting of the vertices and edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the total weights of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted…

An \textit{$(n,m)$-graph} $G$ is a graph having both arcs and edges, and its arcs (resp., edges) are labeled using one of the $n$ (resp., $m$) different symbols. An \textit{$(n,m)$-complete graph} $G$ is an $(n,m)$-graph without loops or…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, a subgraph $H$ is an \emph{additive $+\beta$ spanner} if $\dist_H(u,v) \le \dist_G(u,v) + \beta$ for all $u, v \in V$. A \emph{pairwise spanner} is a spanner for which the above inequality only must hold for…

An \emph{additive $+\beta$ spanner} of a graph $G$ is a subgraph which preserves distances up to an additive $+\beta$ error. Additive spanners are well-studied in unweighted graphs but have only recently received attention in weighted…

Xu and Wu proved that if every $5$-cycle of a planar graph $G$ is not simultaneously adjacent to $3$-cycles and $4$-cycles, then $G$ is $4$-choosable. In this paper, we improve this result as follows. Let $\{i, j, k, l\} = \{3,4,5,6\}.$ For…

Wu, Zhang and Li [4] conjectured that the set of vertices of any simple graph $G$ can be equitably partitioned into $\lceil(\Delta(G)+1)/2\rceil$ subsets so that each of them induces a forest of $G$. In this note, we prove this conjecture…

A pair $\{u,v\}$ of vertices is said to be globally linked in a $d$-dimensional framework $(G,p)$ if there exists no other framework $(G,q)$ with the same edge lengths, in which the distance between the points corresponding to $u$ and $v$…

Haemers conjectures that almost all graphs are determined by their spectra. Suppose $G \sim \mathcal{G}(n, p)$ is a random graph with each edge chosen independently with probability $p$ with $0 < p < 1$. Then $$\Pr(G \text{ is not…

A roundtrip spanner of a directed graph $G$ is a subgraph of $G$ preserving roundtrip distances approximately for all pairs of vertices. Despite extensive research, there is still a small stretch gap between roundtrip spanners in directed…

Kim and Vu made the following conjecture (\textit{Advances in Mathematics}, 2004): if $d\gg \log n$, then the random $d$-regular graph $\mathcal G(n,d)$ can asymptotically almost surely be "sandwiched" between $\mathcal G(n,p_1)$ and…

A graph $G$ with an even number of edges is called even-decomposable if there is a sequence $V(G)=V_0\supset V_1\supset \dots \supset V_k=\emptyset$ such that for each $i$, $G[V_i]$ has an even number of edges and $V_i\setminus~V_{i+1}$ is…

A {\it universal labeling} of a graph $G$ is a labeling of the edge set in $G$ such that in every orientation $\ell$ of $G$ for every two adjacent vertices $v$ and $u$, the sum of incoming edges of $v$ and $u$ in the oriented graph are…
