A platypus graph is a non-hamiltonian graph for which every vertex-deleted subgraph is traceable. They are closely related to families of graphs satisfying interesting conditions regarding longest paths and longest cycles, for instance…
In 1984, Fan gave a sufficient condition involving maximum degree of every pair of vertices at distance two for a graph to be Hamiltonian. Motivated by Fan's result, we say that an induced subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$ is $f$-heavy if for…
We prove that if an $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $3$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle, then it contains another cycle of length $n-o(n)$; this implies, in particular, that a well-known conjecture of Sheehan from 1975 holds…
This version is similar to math.CO/0210113. We've changed Conjectures 1.1 and 1.2 so that they cover arbitrary graphs(digraphs). Let G be an arbitrary graph(digraph). Then - in polynomial time - either an algorithm obtains a hamilton…
For a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $H$, the enhanced quotient graph of $G/H$, denoted by $\mathcal{G}_{H}(G),$ is the graph with vertex set $V=(G\backslash H)\cup \{e\}$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are edge connected if $xH =…
A relational structure is (connected-)homogeneous if every isomorphism between finite (connected) substructures extends to an automorphism of the structure. We investigate notions which generalise (connected-)homogeneity, where…
One of the most well-known conjectures concerning Hamiltonicity in graphs asserts that any sufficiently large connected vertex transitive graph contains a Hamilton cycle. In this form, it was first written down by Thomassen in 1978,…
Introduced by C. R. Shallon in 1979, graph algebras establish a useful connection between graph theory and universal algebra. This makes it possible to investigate graph varieties and graph quasivarieties, i.e., classes of graphs described…
In this paper, we study oriented bipartite graphs. In particular, we introduce "bitransitive" graphs. Several characterizations of bitransitive bitournaments are obtained. We show that bitransitive bitounaments are equivalent to acyclic…
Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph, a walk in $G$ is said to be a properly colored walk iff each pair of consecutive edges have different colors, including the first and the last edges in case that the walk be closed. Let $H$ be a graph…
In 1992 Bir\'{o}, Hujter and Tuza introduced, for every fixed connected graph $H$, the class of $H$-graphs, defined as the intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of some subdivision of $H$. Recently, quite a lot of research has been…
The notion of p-competition graphs of digraphs was introduced by S-R. Kim, T. A. McKee, F. R. McMorris, and F. S. Roberts [p-competition graphs, Linear Algebra Appl., 217 (1995) 167--178] as a generalization of the competition graphs of…
A pseudo 2-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph such that each component is $K_1$, $K_2$, or a cycle. This notion was introduced by Bekkai and Kouider in 2009, where they showed that every graph $G$ has a pseudo 2-factor with at most…
Let $f:V\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}_k$ be a vertex labeling of a hypergraph $H=(V,E)$. This labeling induces an~edge labeling of $H$ defined by $f(e)=\sum_{v\in e}f(v)$, where the sum is taken modulo $k$. We say that $f$ is $k$-cordial if for all…
Investigating a problem of B. Mohar, we show that every one-ended Hamiltonian cubic graph with end degree 3 contains a second Hamilton cycle. We also construct two examples showing that this result does not extend to give a third Hamilton…
Hadwiger Conjecture has been an open problem for over a half century1,6, which says that there is at most a complete graph Kt but no Kt+1 for every t-colorable graph. A few cases of Hadwiger Conjecture, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-colorable…
The closure of a graph $G$ is the graph $G^*$ obtained from $G$ by repeatedly adding edges between pairs of non-adjacent vertices whose degree sum is at least $n$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of $G$. The well-known Closure Lemma…
In 2019, investigation of the so-called factor-invariant cubic graphs was initiated by Alspach, Khodadadpour and Kreher. For a cubic graph $\Gamma$ and a vertex-transitive subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$, a $2$-factor $\mathcal{C}$…
In 1981, Duffus, Gould, and Jacobson showed that every connected graph either has a Hamiltonian path, or contains a claw ($K_{1,3}$) or a net (a fixed six-vertex graph) as an induced subgraph. This implies that subject to being connected,…
Bir\'{o}, Hujter, and Tuza introduced the concept of $H$-graphs (1992), intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a graph $H$. They naturally generalize many important classes of graphs, e.g., interval graphs and…
