We characterize the graphs $G$ for which their toric ideals $I_G$ are complete intersections. In particular we prove that for a connected graph $G$ such that $I_G$ is complete intersection all of its blocks are bipartite except of at most…

We investigate the parameterized complexity of finding subgraphs with hereditary properties on graphs belonging to a hereditary graph class. Given a graph $G$, a non-trivial hereditary property $\Pi$ and an integer parameter $k$, the…

We study d-dimensional generalizations of three mutually related topics in graph theory: Hamiltonian paths, (unit) interval graphs, and binomial edge ideals. We provide partial high-dimensional generalizations of Ore and Posa's sufficient…

For given a graph $H$, a graphic sequence $\pi=(d_1,d_2,...,d_n)$ is said to be potentially $H$-graphic if there exists a realization of $\pi$ containing $H$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we characterize the potentially $H$-graphic…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $V(G) = [n] = \{1,...,n\}$ and edge ideal $E(G)$. We consider the class of closed graphs. A closed graph is a simple graph satisfying the following property: for all edges $\{i, j\}$ and $\{k,…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The permanental polynomial of $G$ is defined as $\mathrm{per}(xI-A)$. In this paper some of the results from a numerical study of the permanental polynomials of graphs are presented.…

We characterise the pairs of graphs $\{ X, Y \}$ such that all $\{ X, Y \}$-free graphs (distinct from $C_5$) are perfect. Similarly, we characterise pairs $\{ X, Y \}$ such that all $\{ X, Y \}$-free graphs (distinct from $C_5$) are…

In this paper we study the following problem. Let $A$ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom(G,A)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $G$ to $A$. Furthermore, let $v(G)$ denote the number of vertices of $G$, and let $\mathcal{G}_d$…

Let $G$ be a group. The prime index graph of $G$, denoted by $\Pi(G)$, is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all subgroups of $G$ and two distinct comparable vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if the index of $H$ in $K$ or…

In this paper it is shown that it is possible to associate several polynomial ideals to a directed graph $D$ in order to find properties of it. In fact by using algebraic tools it is possible to give appropriate procedures for automatic…

We classify connected graphs $G$ whose binomial edge ideal is Gorenstein. The proof uses methods in prime characteristic.

Let G be a finite simple graph. In this paper we will show that the binomial edge ideal of G, JG is toric if and only if each connected component of G is complete and in this case it is the sum of toric ideal associated to bipartite…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A connected edge cover of $G$ is a subset $S\subseteq E$ such that every vertex of $G$ is incident with at least one edge in $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is connected. The connected edge…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph, and $J_G$ denote the binomial edge ideal of $G$. In this article, we first compute the $\mathrm{v}$-number of binomial edge ideals corresponding to Cohen-Macaulay closed graphs. As a consequence, we obtain…

Regular and distance-regular characterizations of general graphs are well-known. In particular, the spectral excess theorem states that a connected graph G is distance-regular if and only if its spectral excess (a number that can be…

A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that every graph $G$ in the class has chromatic number at most $f(\omega(G))$, where $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of $G$; the class is polynomially $\chi$-bounded if…
