A scramble on a connected multigraph is a collection of connected subgraphs that generalizes the notion of a bramble. The maximum order of a scramble, called the scramble number of a graph, was recently developed as a tool for lower…
Three intersection theorems are proved. First, we determine the size of the largest set system, where the system of the pairwise unions is l-intersecting. Then we investigate set systems where the union of any s sets intersect the union of…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
A set $B$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is called a \emph{$k$-limited packing} if for each vertex $v$ of $G$, its closed neighbourhood has at most $k$ vertices in $B$. The \emph{$k$-limited packing number} of a graph $G$, denoted by $L_k(G)$,…
A detour in a graph is a longest path. This thesis is mainly about connected, non-traceable graphs with the property that each vertex is the start (or end) vertex of a detour. There are also related results on claw-free, 2-connected,…
It is known that every matrix of order n over the maximal order in an algebraic number eld is a sum of k-th powers in various cases if a discriminant condition is satis ed. It has been proved by Wadikar and Katre that for every matrix of…
We show that every graph of maximum degree 3 can be represented as the intersection graph of axis parallel boxes in three dimensions, that is, every vertex can be mapped to an axis parallel box such that two boxes intersect if and only if…
We introduce and study the concept which we call the splitting of a graph and compare algebraic properties of the edge ideals of graphs and those of their splitting graphs.
Brualdi and Hoffman (1985) proposed the problem of determining the maximal spectral radius of graphs with given size. In this paper, we consider the Brualdi-Hoffman type problem of graphs with given matching number. The maximal $Q$-spectral…
In a graph $A$, the measure $|M_g^A(f)|=m_g^A(f)$ for each arbitrary edge $f=gh$ counts the edges in $A$ closer to $g$ than $h$. $A$ is termed an edge quasi-$\lambda$-distance-balanced graph in a metric space (abbreviated as $EQDBG$), where…
An edge coalition in a graph $G=(V,E)$ consists of two disjoint sets of edges $E_1$ and $E_2$, neither of which is an edge dominating set but whose union $E_1\cup E_2$ is an edge dominating set. An edge coalition partition in a graph $G$ of…
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…
We determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets of arbitrary graphs in terms of their covering numbers and we completely characterize the extremal graphs. As an application, we give a similar result for K\"onig-Egerv\'ary graphs…
Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case in which such graphs are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. These groups can be constructed by…
Let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum order (maximum number of codewords) of a $q$-ary code of length $n$ and Hamming distance at least $d$. And let $A(n,d,w)$ that of a binary code of constant weight $w$. Building on results from algebraic graph…
Every graph of size $q$ (the number of edges) and minimum degree $\delta$ is hamiltonian if $q\le\delta^2+\delta-1$. The result is sharp.
A \textit{diameter graph in $\mathbb R^d$} is a graph, whose set of vertices is a finite subset of $\mathbb R^d$ and whose set of edges is formed by pairs of vertices that are at diameter apart. This paper is devoted to the study of…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a pencil of plane curves defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with no $\mathbb{F}_q$-points in its base locus. We investigate the number of curves in $\mathcal{L}$ whose $\mathbb{F}_q$-points form a blocking set. When the degree…
In graph pegging, we view each vertex of a graph as a hole into which a peg can be placed, with checker-like ``pegging moves'' allowed. Motivated by well-studied questions in graph pebbling, we introduce two pegging quantities. The pegging…
The modelling of interconnection networks by graphs motivated the study of several extremal problems that involve well known parameters of a graph (degree, diameter, girth and order) and ask for the optimal value of one of them while…
