We enumerate graph homomorphisms to quasi-complete graphs, i.e., graphs obtained from complete graphs by removing one edge. The source graphs are complete graphs, quasi-complete graphs, cycles, paths, wheels and broken wheels. These…
In this work, we focus on several completion problems for subclasses of chordal graphs: Minimum Fill-In, Interval Completion, Proper Interval Completion, Threshold Completion, and Trivially Perfect Completion. In these problems, the task is…
Graph colorings is a fundamental topic in graph theory that require an assignment of labels (or colors) to vertices or edges subject to various constraints. We focus on the harmonious coloring of a graph, which is a proper vertex coloring…
We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a linear number of edges with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics was known. Using analytic combinatorics, i.e. generating function manipulations,…
The Bell numbers count the number of different ways to partition a set of $n$ elements while the graphical Bell numbers count the number of non-equivalent partitions of the vertex set of a graph into stable sets. This relation between graph…
We explore the notion of sectional number of a group homomorphism, leading to a generalization of the covering number of a group, and present several characterizations when the sectional number is finite, providing estimates for computing…
The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…
The fractional matching number of a graph G, is the maximum size of a fractional matching of G. The following sharp lower bounds for a graph G of order n are proved, and all extremal graphs are characterized in this paper. (1)The sum of the…
Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…
We study the connectedness and the diameter of orthogonality graphs of upper triangular matrix algebras over arbitrary fields.
We study the enumeration of bargraphs with respect to some corner statistics. We find generating functions for the number of bargraphs that tracks the corner statistics of interest, the number of cells, and the number of columns. The…
We compute explicitly (modulo solutions of certain algebraic equations) the spectra of infinite graphs obtained by attaching one or several infinite paths to some vertices of certain finite graphs. The main result concerns a canonical form…
Let ${\cal F}$ be a family of graphs. In the ${\cal F}$-Completion problem, we are given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$ as input, and asked whether at most $k$ edges can be added to $G$ so that the resulting graph does not contain a graph…
The crossing number of a graph $G$ is the least number of crossings over all possible drawings of $G$. We present a structural characterization of graphs with crossing number one.
The vertex coloring problem to find chromatic numbers is known to be unsolvable in polynomial time. Although various algorithms have been proposed to efficiently compute chromatic numbers, they tend to take an enormous amount of time for…
In this work, for the given adjacency matrix of a graph, we present an algorithm which checks the connectivity of a graph and computes all of its connected components. Also, it is mathematically proved that the algorithm presents all the…
The \emph{fractional matching preclusion number} of a graph $G$, denoted by $fmp(G)$, is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has no fractional perfect matchings. In this paper, we first give some sharp upper…
In this paper, we study the domination number of middle graphs. Indeed, we obtain tight bounds for this number in terms of the order of the graph. We also compute the domination number of some families of graphs such as star graphs, double…
The present work aims to exploit the interplay between the algebraic properties of rings and the graph-theoretic structures of their associated graphs. We introduce commutatively closed graphs and investigate properties of commutatively…
We show that there is no simple (e.g. finite or countable) basis for Borel graphs with infinite Borel chromatic number. In fact, it is proved that the closed subgraphs of the shift graph on $[\mathbb{N}]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ with finite (or,…
