We prove constructively that the maximum possible number of minimal connected dominating sets in a connected undirected graph of order $n$ is in $\Omega(1.489^n)$. This improves the previously known lower bound of $\Omega(1.4422^n)$ and…

A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a 2-labeling of its vertices which is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We show that every locally finite graph with infinite motion and growth at most…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that, for all bipartite graphs $H$, quasirandom graphs contain asymptotically the minimum number of copies of $H$ taken over all graphs with the same order and edge density. While still open for graphs, the…

We prove Seymour's Second Neighborhood Conjecture when the missing graph is disjoint stars under some conditions. Weaker conditions are required when n=2 or 3. In some cases, we exhibit two vertices with the desired property.

The subgraph number of a vertex in a graph is defined as the number of connected subgraphs containing that vertex. The graph and its vertex which correspond to the minimum subgraph number among all graphs on $n$ vertices and $k$ cut…

We show that every k-dichromatic vertex-critical digraph on at most 2k-2 vertices has a disconnected complement. This answers a question of Bang-Jensen et al., and generalises a classical theorem of Gallai on undirected vertex-critical…

In this paper, we prove a tight minimum degree condition in general graphs for the existence of paths between two given endpoints, whose lengths form a long arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. This allows us to obtain…

For a positive integer $k$, a graph is $k$-knitted if for each $k$-subset $S$ of vertices, and every partition of $S$ into disjoint parts $S_1, \ldots, S_t$ for some $t\ge 1$, one can find disjoint connected subgraphs $C_1, \ldots, C_t$…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size at least $2$, a path in $G$ is said to be an $S$-path if it connects all vertices of $S$. Two $S$-paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ are said to be internally disjoint if $E(P_1)\cap…

A subset $D\subseteq V_G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ has a~neighbor in $D$, while $D$ is a paired-dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a~dominating set and the subgraph induced by $D$ contains a perfect matching. A…

In this paper, we give a lengthy proof of a small result! A graph is bisplit if its vertex set can be partitioned into three stable sets with two of them inducing a complete bipartite graph. We prove that these graphs satisfy the…

We construct an infinite family of counterexamples to Thomassen's conjecture that the vertices of every 3-connected, cubic graph on at least 8 vertices can be colored blue and red such that the blue subgraph has maximum degree at most 1 and…

We show that there are minimal graphs in R^{n+1} whose intersection with the portion of the horizontal hyperplane contained in the unit ball has any prescribed geometry, up to a small deformation. The proof hinges on the construction of…

We use Menger's Theorem and K\"onig's Line Colouring Theorem to show that in any tripartite graph with two complete (bipartite) sides the maximum number of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles equals the minimum number of edges that meet all…

This is the second of a series of four papers in which we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos--Sos Conjecture: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at…

Over all graphs (or unicyclic graphs) of a given order, we characterise those graphs that minimise or maximise the number of connected induced subgraphs. For each of these classes, we find that the graphs that minimise the number of…

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let $G$ be a graph with $m$ edges and without cycles of length $2k$. The pivotal Alon-Krivelevich-Sudakov Theorem on Max-Cuts states that $G$ has a bipartite subgraph with at least $m/2+\Omega(m^{(2k+1)/(2k+2)})$…

We prove Menger-type results in which the obtained paths are pairwise non-adjacent, both for graphs of bounded maximum degree and, more generally, for graphs excluding a topological minor. We further show better bounds in the subcubic case,…

A graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if it contains no copy of $F$ as a subgraph but the addition of any new edge to $G$ creates a copy of $F$. We prove that for $s \geq 3$ and $t \geq 2$, the minimum number of copies of $K_{1,t}$ in a…

A matching covered graph $G$ is minimal if for each edge $e$ of $G$, $G-e$ is not matching covered. An edge $e$ of a matching covered graph $G$ is removable if $G-e$ is also matching covered. Thus a matching covered graph is minimal if and…
