An AT-orientation of a graph $G$ is an orientation $D$ of $G$ such that the number of even Eulerian sub-digraphs and the number of odd Eulerian sub-digraphs of $D$ are distinct. Given a mapping $f: V(G) \to \mathbb{N}$, we say $G$ is $f$-AT…

We show that every $n$-vertex $5$-connected planar triangulation has at most $9n-50$ many cycles of length $5$ for all $n\ge 20$ and this upper bound is tight. We also show that for every $k\geq 6$, there exists some constant $C(k)$ such…

A graph is $1$-planar if it has a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once by another edge. Moreover, if this drawing has the additional property that for each crossing of two edges the end vertices of these edges…

Given a signed bipartite graph $(B, \pi)$ of negative girth $2k$, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for it to have the following property: each signed bipartite graph $(G, \sigma)$ whose negative girth is at least $2k$ and…

Let $G$ be a $d$-regular multigraph, and let $\lambda_2(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $\lambda_2(G) < \frac{d-1+\sqrt{9d^2-10d+17}}4$, then $G$ is 2-edge-connected. Furthermore, for $t\ge2$ we…

A cubical polytope is a polytope with all its facets being combinatorially equivalent to cubes. The paper is concerned with the linkedness of the graphs of cubical polytopes. A graph with at least $2k$ vertices is \textit{$k$-linked} if,…

In 1972 Tutte famously conjectured that every 4-edge-connected graph has a nowhere zero 3-flow; this is known to be equivalent to every 5-regular, 4-edge-connected graph having an edge orientation in which every in-degree is either 1 or 4.…

By a well known theorem of Robbins, a graph $G$ has a strongly connected orientation if and only if $G$ is 2-edge-connected and it is easy to find, in linear time, either a cut edge of $G$ or a strong orientation of $G$. A result of Durand…

An edge coloring of a graph $G$ is to color all the edges in the graph such that adjacent edges receive different colors. It is acyclic if each cycle in the graph receives at least three colors. Fiam{\v{c}}ik (1978) and Alon, Sudakov and…

In 1959, Gr\"{o}tzsch famously proved that every planar graph of girth at least 4 is 3-colourable (or equivalently, admits a homomorphism to $C_3$). A natural generalization of this is the following conjecture: for every positive integer…

For integers $a\ge 2b>0$, a \emph{circular $a/b$-flow} is a flow that takes values from $\{\pm b, \pm(b+1), \dots, \pm(a-b)\}$. The Planar Circular Flow Conjecture states that every $2k$-edge-connected planar graph admits a circular…

Given a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-free if $G$ does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph. Shi and Shan conjectured that every $1$-tough $2k$-connected $(P_2 \cup kP_1)$-free graph is hamiltonian for $k \geq 4$. This conjecture has been…
