A walk $W$ in edge-colored graphs is called properly colored (PC) if every pair of consecutive edges in $W$ is of different color. We introduce and study five types of PC acyclicity in edge-colored graphs such that graphs of PC acyclicity…

We study characteristics which might distinguish two-graphs by introducing different numerical measures on the collection of graphs on $n$ vertices. Two conjectures are stated, one using these numerical measures and the other using the deck…

We present the implementation of an algorithm for graph isomorphism testing, based on ideas about number of walks (of sufficiently large length) between vertices. The algorithm is expanded for strongly regular graphs (SRG-s) by testing the…

A subgraph $H$ of a multigraph $G$ is overfull if $ |E(H) | > \Delta(G) \lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Analogous to the Overfull Conjecture proposed by Chetwynd and Hilton in 1986, Stiebitz et al. in 2012 formed the multigraph version of the…

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…

We show that if a graph $G$ with $n \geq 3$ vertices can be drawn in the plane such that each of its edges is involved in at most four crossings, then $G$ has at most $6n-12$ edges. This settles a conjecture of Pach, Radoi\v{c}i\'{c},…

An old problem raised independently by Jacobson and Sch\"onheim asks to determine the maximum $s$ for which every graph with $m$ edges contains a pair of edge-disjoint isomorphic subgraphs with $s$ edges. In this paper we determine this…

In this article, we consider the number of collisions of three independent simple random walks on a subgraph of the two-dimensional square lattice obtained by removing all horizontal edges with vertical coordinate not equal to 0 and then,…

Motivated by the scaling limits of the connected components of the configuration model, we study uniform connected multigraphs with fixed degree sequence $\mathcal{D}$ and with surplus $k$. We call those random graphs…

The $k$-th power of the adjacency matrix of a simple undirected graph represents the number of walks with length $k$ between pairs of nodes. As a walk where no node repeats, a path is a walk where each node is only visited once. The set of…

Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$ without isolated edges and with maximum degree $\Delta$. Given a colouring $c:E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$, the weighted degree of a vertex $v\in V$ is the sum of its incident colours, i.e., $\sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$. For any…

A long-standing conjecture of Thomassen says that every longest cycle of a $3$-connected graph has a chord. Thomassen (2018) proved that if $G$ is $2$-connected and cubic, then any longest cycle must have a chord. He also showed that if $G$…

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…

We extend the edge version of the classical Menger's Theorem for undirected graphs to $n$-dimensional simplicial complexes with chains over the field $\mathbb{F}_2$. The classical Menger's Theorem states that two different vertices in an…

Let $r \ge 3$ be fixed and $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. A long-standing conjecture of Gy\H{o}ri states that if $e(G) = t_{r-1}(n) + k$, where $t_{r-1}(n)$ denotes the number of edges of the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices and $r - 1$ parts,…

We study the computational complexity of routing multiple objects through a network in such a way that only few collisions occur: Given a graph $G$ with two distinct terminal vertices and two positive integers $p$ and $k$, the question is…

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…

Several interesting approaches have been reported in the literature on complex networks, random walks, and hierarchy of graphs. While many of these works perform random walks on stable, fixed networks, in the present work we address the…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph, a walk in $G$ is said to be a properly colored walk iff each pair of consecutive edges have different colors, including the first and the last edges in case that the walk be closed. Let $H$ be a graph…

Let $G$ be a graph with $p(G)$ pendant vertices and $q(G)$ quasi-pendant vertices. Denote by $m_{L(G)}(\lambda)$ the multiplicity of $\lambda$ as a Laplacian eigenvalue of $G$. Let $\overline{G}$ be the reduced graph of $G$, which can be…
