An extremal graph for a graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum number of edges that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $T_{n,r}$ be the Tur\'{a}n graph, which is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices…

A fundamental result in extremal graph theory is attributed to Mantel's theorem, which states that every graph on $n$ vertices with more than $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges must contain a triangle. Lov\'{a}sz and Simonovits (1975) provided a…

The Steklov eigenvalue problem was introduced over a century ago, and its discrete form attracted interest recently. Let $D$ and $\delta \Omega$ be the maximum vertex degree and the set of vertices of degree one in a graph $\mathcal{G}$…

The Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) dimension of a graph is a measure for the inherent descriptive complexity of the graph. While originally derived from a combinatorial graph isomorphism test called the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm, the WL dimension…

A graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The fish graph, denoted by $H(4, 3)$, is a $6-$vertex graph obtained from a cycle of length $4$ and a triangle by sharing a common vertex. Earlier it is…

This work studies certain aspects of graphs embedded on surfaces. Initially, a colored graph model for a map of a graph on a surface is developed. Then, a concept analogous to (and extending) planar graph is introduced in the same spirit as…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A classical upper bound for the domination number of a graph $G$ having no isolated vertices is $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$. However, for several families of graphs, we have $\gamma(G) \le…

The spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Let $\mathcal{F}(\lambda)$ be the family of connected graphs of spectral radius $\le \lambda$. We show that $\mathcal{F}(\lambda)$ can be defined by a finite…

The spread of a graph $G$ is the difference $\lambda_1 - \lambda_n$ between the largest and smallest eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Breen, Riasanovsky, Tait and Urschel recently determined the graph on $n$ vertices with maximum spread…

Hartsfield and Ringel constructed orientable quadrangular embeddings of the complete graph $K_n$ for $n\equiv 5 \pmod 8$, and nonorientable ones for $n \ge 9$ and $n\equiv 1 \pmod 4$. These provide minimal quadrangulations of their…

An embedding of a graph on a translation surface is said to be \emph{systolic} if each vertex of the graph corresponds to a singular point (or marked point) and each edge corresponds to a shortest saddle connection on the translation…

We study the topic of "extremal" planar graphs, defining $\mathrm{ex_{_{\mathcal{P}}}}(n,H)$ to be the maximum number of edges possible in a planar graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a given graph $H$ as a subgraph. In…

For any $\epsilon > 0$, we show that if $G$ is a regular graph on $n \gg_\epsilon 1$ vertices that is $\epsilon$-far (differs by at least $\epsilon n^2$ edges) from any Tur\'{a}n graph, then its second eigenvalue $\lambda_2$ satisfies…
