A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that no two edges of distance at most two receive the same color. The strong chromatic index $\chi'_s(G)$ is the minimum number of colors in a strong edge-coloring of $G$. P.…

Motivated by the definition of linear coloring on simplicial complexes, recently introduced in the context of algebraic topology \cite{Civan}, and the framework through which it was studied, we introduce the linear coloring on graphs. We…

Let $G$ be any triangle-free graph with maximum degree $\Delta\leq 3$. Staton proved that the independence number of $G$ is at least 5/14n. Heckman and Thomas conjectured that Staton's result can be strengthened into a bound on the…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a finite nonempty set of $3$-element subsets of a totally ordered set $V$. We view $\mathcal{T}$ as the set of triangles in the support graph. Let $\delta_{1,\mathcal{T}}$ be the signed edge-triangle incidence matrix,…

A total $k$-coloring of a graph is an assignment of $k$ colors to its vertices and edges such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The Total Coloring Conjecture (TCC) states that every simple graph $G$ has a…

A graph $G$ is said to have \textit{bandwidth} at most $b$, if there exists a labeling of the vertices by $1,2,..., n$, so that $|i - j| \leq b$ whenever $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. Recently, B\"{o}ttcher, Schacht, and Taraz verified a…

An adjacent vertex distinguishing coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G such that any pair of adjacent vertices are incident with distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors needed for an adjacent vertex…

It is shown that any graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ in which the average degree of the induced subgraph on the set of all neighbors of any vertex exceeds $\frac{6k^2}{6k^2 + 1}\Delta + k + 6$ is either $(\Delta - k)$-colorable or…

A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph $G$ is a matching if no two edges in $M$ are incident. A maximal matching is a matching that is not contained in a larger matching. A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices is 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 $G$…

Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$. For a subset $M$ of $E(G)$, we denote by $G[V(M)]$ the subgraph of $G$ induced by the endvertices of edges in $M$. We call $M$ a semistrong matching if each edge of $M$ is…

Dirac's classical theorem asserts that, for $n \ge 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. Furthermore, if we additionally assume that such graphs are regular, then, by the breakthrough work of Csaba,…

Balogh, Bar\'at, Gerbner, Gy\'arf\'as, and S\'ark\"ozy proposed the following conjecture. Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $3n/4$. Then for every $2$-edge-colouring of $G$, the vertex set $V(G)$ may be…

One of the foundational theorems of extremal graph theory is Dirac's theorem, which says that if an n-vertex graph G has minimum degree at least n/2, then G has a Hamilton cycle, and therefore a perfect matching (if n is even). Later work…

The minrank over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of a graph $G$ on the vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is the minimum possible rank of a matrix $M \in \mathbb{F}^{n \times n}$ such that $M_{i,i} \neq 0$ for every $i$, and $M_{i,j}=0$ for every distinct…

A graph is called weakly perfect if its vertex chromatic number equals its clique number. Let $R$ be a ring and $I(R)^*$ be the set of all left proper non-trivial ideals of $R$. The intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G(R)$, is…

Solving a long standing conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits, Brandt and Thomass\'e proved that the chromatic number of each triangle-free graph $G$ such that $\delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ is at most four. In fact, they showed the much stronger…

Komlos [Tiling Turan theorems, Combinatorica, 20,2 (2000), 203{218] determined the asymptotically optimal minimum degree condition for covering a given proportion of vertices of a host graph by vertex-disjoint copies of a fixed graph. We…

A total graph is an ordered triple $(V_0, V_1, E)$, where $V_0, V_1$ are the sets of empty and full vertices, respectively, $V_0 \cap V_1 = \emptyset$, and the set of edges $E$ is a subset of \(\binom{V_0 \cup V_1}{2}\) $(E\cap(V_0 \cup…

We prove that every $n$-vertex graph with at least $\binom{n}{2} - (n - 4)$ edges has a fractional triangle decomposition, for $n \ge 7$. This is a key ingredient in our proof, given in a companion paper, that every $n$-vertex $2$-coloured…
