Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of density $p$ on $n$ vertices. Following Erd\H{o}s, \L uczak and Spencer, an $m$-vertex subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called {\em full} if $H$ has minimum degree at least $p(m - 1)$. Let $f(G)$ denote the order of a…

A bipartite graph is called bipancyclic if it contains cycles of every even length from four up to the number of vertices in the graph. A theorem of Schmeichel and Mitchem states that for $n \geq 4$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$…

The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph defined on $V(G)$ such that two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent in $G^2$ if the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most 2. The {\em maximum average degree} of $G$, $mad (G)$, is the…

Let $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ be a hereditary graph class (i.e, every subgraph of $G_{\alpha}\in \mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ belongs to $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$) such that every graph $G_{\alpha}$ in $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ has minimum degree at most…

A well-known result due to Chvat\'al and Erd\H{o}s (1972) asserts that, if a graph $G$ satisfies $\kappa(G) \ge \alpha(G)$, where $\kappa(G)$ is the vertex-connectivity of $G$, then $G$ has a Hamilton cycle. We prove a similar result…

A graph is $P_8$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the path $P_8$ on eight vertices. In 1995, Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s conjectured that every graph of minimum degree at least three contains a cycle whose length is a…

For a simple graph $G$, let $\chi_f(G)$ be the fractional chromatic number of $G$. In this paper, we aim to establish upper bounds on $\chi_f(G)$ for those graphs $G$ with restrictions on the clique number. Namely, we prove that for $\Delta…

For a graph $G$ with order $2n$ and a perfect matching, let $f(G)$ and $F(G)$ denote the minimum and maximum forcing number of $G$ respectively. Then $0\leq f(G)\leq F(G)\leq n-1$. Liu and Zhang [10] ever proposed a conjecture: $e(G)\geq…

A path (resp. cycle) decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of edge-disjoint paths (resp. cycles) of $G$ that covers the edge set of $G$. Gallai (1966) conjectured that every graph on $n$ vertices admits a path decomposition of size at most…

Recently it was shown (by the author) that every graph of size $q$ (the number of edges) and minimum degree $\delta$ is hamiltonian if $q\le\delta^2+\delta-1$ (arXiv:1107.2201v1). In this paper we present the exact analog of this result for…

The bipartite-hole-number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\widetilde{\alpha}(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that there exist positive integers $s$ and $t$ with $s + t = k + 1$, satisfying the property that for any two disjoint sets $A, B…

Given a graph $G$ and a subset $X$ of vertices of $G$ with size at least two, we denote by $N^2_G(X)$ the set of vertices of $G$ that have at least two neighbors in $X$. We say that a bipartite graph $G$ with sides $A$ and $B$ satisfies the…

Given a collection $\mathcal{G}=(G_1,\dots, G_h)$ of graphs on the same vertex set $V$ of size $n$, an $h$-edge graph $H$ on the vertex set $V$ is a $\mathcal{G}$-transversal if there exists a bijection $\lambda : E(H) \rightarrow [h]$ such…

In 1998, Reed conjectured that every graph $G$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq \lceil \frac{1}{2}(\Delta(G) + 1 + \omega(G))\rceil$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$, $\Delta(G)$ is the maximum degree of $G$, and $\omega(G)$ is the…

We prove that $\frac{7}{4}\alpha(G)+\beta(G)\geq n(G)$ and $\alpha(G)+\frac{3}{2}\beta(G)\geq n(G)$ for every triangle-free graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $4$, where $\alpha(G)$ is the independence number and $\beta(G)$ is the…

The girth of a graph $G$ is the length of a shortest cycle of $G$. Jiang (JCT-B, 2001) showed that every graph $G$ with girth at least $2\ell+1$ and minimum degree at least $k/\ell$ contains every tree $T$ with $k$ edges whose maximum…

A proper $k$-colouring of a graph $G$ is called $h$-conflict-free if every vertex $v$ has at least $\min\, \{h, {\rm deg}(v)\}$ colours appearing exactly once in its neighbourhood. Let $\chi_{\rm pcf}^h(G)$ denote the minimum $k$ such that…

Hadwiger's Conjecture states that every graph with chromatic number $k$ contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices as a minor. This conjecture is a tremendous strengthening of the Four-Colour Theorem and is regarded as one of the most…

For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer…

We prove that any \(2\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices with minimum degree \(\delta(G) \ge \frac{n}{4}+2\) contains a \(2\)-connected subgraph of order \(k\) for every integer \(k\) with \(4 \le k \le n\). This improves a previous…
