A $k$-block in a graph $G$ is a maximal set of at least $k$ vertices no two of which can be separated in $G$ by removing less than $k$ vertices. It is separable if there exists a tree-decomposition of adhesion less than $k$ of $G$ in which…

A graph $G$ is $k$-degenerate if it can be transformed into an empty graph by subsequent removals of vertices of degree $k$ or less. We prove that every connected planar graph with average degree $d \ge 2$ has a 4-degenerate induced…

A decomposition of a non-empty simple graph $G$ is a pair $[G,P]$, such that $P$ is a set of non-empty induced subgraphs of $G$, and every edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one subgraph in $P$. The chromatic index $\chi'([G,P])$ of a…

A graph $G$ contains another graph $H$ as an immersion if $H$ can be obtained from a subgraph of $G$ by splitting off edges and removing isolated vertices. There is an obvious necessary degree condition for the immersion containment: if $G$…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every triangle-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains a set of $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2 /50$ edges. Krivelevich proved the conjecture for graphs with minimum degree at least…

In 1990 Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that for $k\geq 2$, every graph with $n\geq k+1$ vertices and $(k-1)(n-k+2)+\binom{k-2}{2}+1$ edges contains a subgraph of minimum degree $k$ on at most $n-\sqrt{n}/\sqrt{6k^3}$…

As a generalization of the concept of the partition dimension of a graph, this article introduces the notion of the $k$-partition dimension. Given a nontrivial connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a partition $\Pi$ of $V$ is said to be a…

Kostochka and Yancey resolved a famous conjecture of Ore on the asymptotic density of $k$-critical graphs by proving that every $k$-critical graph $G$ satisfies $|E(G)| \geq (\frac{k}{2} - \frac{1}{k-1})|V(G)| - \frac{k(k-3)}{2(k-1)}$. The…

The small cycle decompositions of line graph ($\lambda$-fold line graph) of complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs are studied by many papers. In particular, Colby and Rodger obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the…

A theorem of Tutte states that every 4-connected non-hamiltonian graph contains $K_{3,3}$ as a minor. We strengthen this result by proving that such a graph must contain $K_{3,4}$ as a minor, thereby confirming a special case of a…

The Bollob\'as--Nikiforov conjecture asserts that for any graph $G \neq K_n$ with $m$ edges and clique number $\omega(G)$, \[ \lambda_1^2(G) + \lambda_2^2(G) \;\leq\; 2\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right)m, \] where $\lambda_1(G) \geq…

In this paper, we investigate bounds for the following judicious $k$-partitioning problem: Given an edge-weighted graph $G$, find a $k$-partition $(V_1,V_2,\dots ,V_k)$ of $V(G)$ such that the total weight of edges in the heaviest induced…

Given hypergraphs H and F, an F-factor in H is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of F. Let K_4^3-e denote the 3-uniform hypergraph on 4 vertices with 3 edges. We show that for \gamma>0 there exists an integer n_0 such…

The bidimensionality of a set of vertices $X$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum $k$ for which $G$ contains as a $X$-rooted minor the $(k \times k)$-grid. This notion allows for the following version of the Graph Minors Structure Theorem (GMST)…

Nash-Williams proved in 1960 that a finite graph admits a $k$-arc-connected orientation if and only if it is $2k$-edge-connected, and conjectured that the same result should hold for all infinite graphs, too. Progress on Nash-Williams's…

In the $\mathcal{F}$-Minor-Free Deletion problem one is given an undirected graph $G$, an integer $k$, and the task is to determine whether there exists a vertex set $S$ of size at most $k$, so that $G-S$ contains no graph from the finite…

It is proved that every graph embedded on a (non-spherical) surface with non-separating face-width at least $7$ contains a minor isomorphic to $K_6$. It is also shown that face-width four yields the same conclusion for graphs on 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…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold such that each piece of its JSJ decomposition has the $\Bbb H^2 \times \Bbb R$ geometry. Assume that the pieces are glued by isometries. Then, there exists a complete Riemannian metric on $\Bbb R \times M$ which…

We provide a degree condition on a regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ which ensures the existence of a near optimal packing of any family $\mathcal H$ of bounded degree $n$-vertex $k$-chromatic separable graphs into $G$. In general, this degree…
