The spectral extremal problem of planar graphs has aroused a lot of interest over the past three decades. In 1991, Boots and Royle [Geogr. Anal. 23(3) (1991) 276--282] (and Cao and Vince [Linear Algebra Appl. 187 (1993) 251--257]…

The booksize $ \mathrm{bk}(G) $ of a graph $ G $, introduced by Erd\H{o}s, refers to the maximum integer $ r $ for which $G$ contains the book $ B_r $ as a subgraph. This paper investigates two open problems in spectral graph theory related…

In 1962, Erd\H{o}s gave a sufficient condition for Hamilton cycles in terms of the vertex number, edge number, and minimum degree of graphs which generalized Ore's theorem. One year later, Moon and Moser gave an analogous result for…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$, $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of $H$ within $G$. The edge spectrum of $H$ is the set of all possible sizes of an…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph, where $V(G)$ and $E(G)$ are the vertex set and the edge set of $G$, respectively. The number of components of $G$ is denoted by $c(G)$. Let $t$ be a positive real number, and a connected graph $G$ is…

In this work we study the null space of bipartite graphs without cycles of length multiple of $4$, and its relation to structural properties. We decompose them into two subgraphs: $C_N(G)$ and $C_S(G)$. $C_N(G)$ has perfect matching and its…

We prove that every $n$-vertex $K_t$-minor-free graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ has a set $F$ of $O(t^2(\log t)^{1/4}\sqrt{\Delta n})$ edges such that every component of $G - F$ has at most $n/2$ vertices. This is best possible up to…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set such that the two resulting parts differ in size by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges that connect vertices in the two parts. The perfect matching condition and…

A {\it fractional matching} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ giving each edge a number in $[0,1]$ so that $\sum_{e \in \Gamma(v)} f(e) \le 1$ for each $v\in V(G)$, where $\Gamma(v)$ is the set of edges incident to $v$. The {\it fractional…

For $r \geq 2$, we show that every maximal $K_{r+1}$-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $(1-\frac{1}{r})\frac{n^2}{2}-o(n^{\frac{r+1}{r}})$ edges contains a complete $r$-partite subgraph on $(1 - o(1))n$ vertices. We also show that this is…

For a graph $G$, let $f_2(G)$ denote the largest number of vertices in a $2$-regular subgraph of $G$. We determine the minimum of $f_2(G)$ over $3$-regular $n$-vertex simple graphs $G$. To do this, we prove that every $3$-regular multigraph…

A proper edge coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,\dots,t$ is called a \emph{cyclic interval $t$-coloring} if for each vertex $v$ of $G$ the edges incident to $v$ are colored by consecutive colors, under the condition that color $1$ is…

The classical Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem shows that for sufficiently large $n$, if $H$ is an edge-color-critical graph with $\chi(H)=p+1\ge 3$, then the Tur\'an graph $T_{n,p}$ is the unique extremal graph with respect to…
