The "separation dimension" of a graph $G$ is the minimum positive integer $d$ for which there is an embedding of $G$ into $\mathbb{R}^d$, such that every pair of disjoint edges are separated by some axis-parallel hyperplane. We prove a…
Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…
We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…
Bounds on the minimum degree and on the number of vertices at- taining it have been much studied for finite edge-/vertex-minimally k- connected/k-edge-connected graphs. We give an overview of the results known for finite graphs, and show…
A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and iterated line digraphs. These structures…
We introduce and study the Separation Problem for infinite graphs, which involves determining whether a connected graph splits into at least two infinite connected components after the removal of a given finite set of edges. We prove that…
Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…
The dicycle transversal number t(D) of a digraph D is the minimum size of a dicycle transversal of D, i. e. a set T of vertices of D such that D-T is acyclic. We study the following problem: Given a digraph D, decide if there is a dicycle B…
Two $a{-}b$ paths in a graph $G$ are order-compatible if their common vertices occur in the same order when travelling from $a$ to $b$. Suppose a graph contains an infinite number $\delta$ of edge-disjoint $a{-}b$ paths. G.A. Dirac asked…
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…
A longest path in a graph is called a detour. It is easy to see that a connected graph of minimum degree at least $2$ and order at least $4$ has at least $4$ detours. We prove that if the number of detours in such a graph of order at least…
The bend-number b(G) of a graph G is the minimum k such that G may be represented as the edge intersection graph of a set of grid paths with at most k bends. We confirm a conjecture of Biedl and Stern showing that the maximum bend-number of…
We propose a notion of graph convergence that interpolates between the Benjamini--Schramm convergence of bounded degree graphs and the dense graph convergence developed by L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz and his coauthors. We prove that spectra of…
Motivated by an old question of Gallai (1966) on the intersection of longest paths in a graph and the well-known conjectures of Lov\'{a}sz (1969) and Thomassen (1978) on the maximum length of paths and cycles in vertex-transitive graphs, we…
The crossing number of a graph $G$ denotes the minimum number of crossings in any planar drawing of $G$. In this short note, we confirm a long-standing conjecture posed by Pach, Spencer, and T\'oth over 25 years ago, establishing an optimal…
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the structure of a digraph affects its dichromatic number and to extend various results on undirected colouring to digraphs. In the first part of this thesis, we examine how the dichromatic…
We study the ratio, in a finite graph, of the sizes of the largest matching in any pair of disjoint matchings with the maximum total number of edges and the largest possible matching. Previously, it was shown that this ratio is between 4/5…
We provide two constructions for $t$ edge-disjoint maximal outerplanar graphs on every number of $n \geq 4t$ vertices. The bound on the minimum number of vertices is tight. These constructions yield the existence of optimal…
A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set in which the number of vertices in the two parts differ by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges which go across the two parts. In this paper, motivated by several questions…
For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…
