Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $T=\{ (s_i, t_i) : 1\leq i\leq k \}\subseteq V\times V$ of $k$ pairs, the $k$-vertex-disjoint-paths (resp. $k$-edge-disjoint-paths) problem asks to determine whether there exist~$k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint…

A $k$-improper edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\alpha:E(G)\longrightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that at most $k$ edges of $G$ with a common endpoint have the same color. An improper edge coloring of a graph $G$ is called an improper…

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 set of vertices $S$ \emph{resolves} a connected graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The \emph{metric dimension} of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$.…

In the past decades, many scholars concerned which edge-extremal problems have spectral analogues? Recently, Wang, Kang and Xue showed an interesting result on $F$-free graphs [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 159 (2023) 20--41]. In this paper, we…

We study the problem of deleting the smallest set $S$ of vertices (resp. edges) from a given graph $G$ such that the induced subgraph (resp. subgraph) $G \setminus S$ belongs to some class $\mathcal{H}$. We consider the case where graphs in…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph is a \emph{defensive alliance} if, for each element of $D$, the majority of its neighbours are in $D$. We consider the notion of local minimality in this paper. We are interested in finding a locally minimal…

In this paper we give upper bounds for the regularity of edge ideal of some classes of graphs in terms of invariants of graph. We introduce two numbers $a'(G)$ and $n(G)$ depending on graph $G$ and show that for a vertex decomposable graph…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, let $v\in V$ be a vertex and let $e=uw\in E$ be an edge. The distance between the vertex $v$ and the edge $e$ is given by $d_G(e,v)=\min\{d_G(u,v),d_G(w,v)\}$. A vertex $w\in V$ distinguishes two edges…

Given a connected graph $G$, the metric (resp. edge metric) dimension of $G$ is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely identifies every pair of distinct vertices (resp. edges) of $G$ by means of distance…

Let $G$ be a graph with $m$ edges and let $\mathrm{mc}(G)$ denote the size of a largest cut of $G$. The difference $\mathrm{mc}(G)-m/2$ is called the surplus $\mathrm{sp}(G)$ of $G$. A fundamental problem in MaxCut is to determine…

We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…

The graph is one of the most widely used mathematical structures in engineering and science because of its representational power and inherent ability to demonstrate the relationship between objects. The objective of this work is to…

Local Irregularity Conjecture states that every simple connected graph, except special cacti, can be decomposed into at most three locally irregular graphs, i.e., graphs in which adjacent vertices have different degrees. The connected…

A prototypical graph problem is centered around a graph-theoretic property for a set of vertices and a solution to it is a set of vertices for which the desired property holds. The task is to decide whether, in the given graph, there exists…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider this problem in the setting of local algorithms: one wants to quickly determine whether a given edge $e$ is in a specific spanning tree,…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of the graph editing problem called Editing to a Graph with a Given Degree Sequence, where the aim is to obtain a graph with a given degree sequence \sigma by at most k vertex or edge deletions…

For fixed integers $r,\ell \geq 0$, a graph $G$ is called an {\em $(r,\ell)$-graph} if the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. This brings us to the following natural parameterized questions:…

We propose an efficient $\epsilon$-differentially private algorithm, that given a simple {\em weighted} $n$-vertex, $m$-edge graph $G$ with a \emph{maximum unweighted} degree $\Delta(G) \leq n-1$, outputs a synthetic graph which…

A graph is said to be a Konig graph if the size of its maximum matching is equal to the size of its minimum vertex cover. The Konig Edge Deletion problem asks if in a given graph there exists a set of at most k edges whose deletion results…
