A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is \textit{pancyclic} if it contains cycles of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper we prove that for any fixed $\epsilon>0$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p(n)\gg n^{-1/2}$ asymptotically almost…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with set of vertices $V(G)$ and set of edges $E(G)$. For $k\ge 0$ an integer, a subset $I_k$ of $V(G)$ is called a $k$-nearly independent vertex subset of $G$ if $I_k$ induces a subgraph of size $k$ in $G$.…

Koml\'os conjectured in 1981 that among all graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, the complete graph $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of Hamiltonian subsets, where a subset of vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. We…

In this paper, we mainly investigate $K_{1,2}$-structure-connectivity for any connected graph. Let $G$ be a connected graph with $n$ vertices, we show that $\kappa(G; K_{1,2})$ is well-defined if $diam(G)\geq 4$, or $n\equiv 1\pmod 3$, or…

We study the online graph coloring problem restricted to the intersection graphs of intervals with lengths in $[1,\sigma]$. For $\sigma=1$ it is the class of unit interval graphs, and for $\sigma=\infty$ the class of all interval graphs.…

We give a sufficient condition for a degree sequence to be graphic based on its largest and smallest elements, length, and sum. This bound generalizes a result of Zverovich and Zverovich.

The $\{K_{1,1}, K_{1,2},C_m: m\geq3\}$-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph whose each component is an element of $\{K_{1,1}, K_{1,2},C_m: m\geq3\}$. In this paper, through the graph spectral methods, we establish the lower bound of the…

The Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is defined for integers $n$ and $k$ with $n \geq 2k$ as the graph whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ where two such sets are adjacent if they are disjoint. A classical result of Lov\'asz…

Recently there has been much interest in studying random graph analogues of well known classical results in extremal graph theory. Here we follow this trend and investigate the structure of triangle-free subgraphs of $G(n,p)$ with high…

We prove that if $G$ is a $2r$-regular edge graceful $(p,q)$ graph with $(r,kp)=1$ then $kG$ is edge graceful for odd $k$. We also prove that for certain specific classes of $2r$-regular edge graceful graphs it is possible to drop the…

A graph $G$ is said to be a $(k,\ell)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. It is well established that the recognition problem for $(k,\ell)$-graphs is NP-complete whenever $k \geq 3$ or…

A $\frac{1}{k}$-majority $l$-edge-colouring of a graph $G$ is a colouring of its edges with $l$ colours such that for every colour $i$ and each vertex $v$ of $G$, at most $\frac{1}{k}$'th of the edges incident with $v$ have colour $i$. We…

Let $p>7$ be a prime, let $G=\Z/p\Z$, and let $S_1=\prod_{i=1}^p g_i$ and $S_2=\prod_{i=1}^p h_i$ be two sequences with terms from $G$. Suppose that the maximum multiplicity of a term from either $S_1$ or $S_2$ is at most $\frac{2p+1}{5}$.…

One of the most basic results in graph theory states that every graph with at least two vertices has two vertices with the same degree. Since there are graphs without $3$ vertices of the same degree, it is natural to ask if for any fixed…
