A 4-regular matchstick graph is a planar unit-distance graph whose vertices have all degree 4. Examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs are currently known for all number of vertices $\geq$ 52 except for 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61, and 62. In…

A matchstick graph is a planar unit-distance graph. We call it \emph{4-regular} if every vertex has degree 4. While examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs with fewer than 63 vertices are known only for $n \in \{52, 54, 57, 60\}$, we prove…

A matchstick graph is a graph drawn with straight edges in the plane such that the edges have unit length, and non-adjacent edges do not intersect. We call a matchstick graph ($m;n)$-regular if every vertex has only degree $m$ or $n$. In…

A matchstick graph is a graph drawn with straight edges in the plane such that the edges have unit length, and non-adjacent edges do not intersect. We call a matchstick graph $(m;n)$-regular if every vertex has only degree $m$ or $n$. In…

A graph G=(V,E) is called a unit-distance graph in the plane if there is an injective embedding of V in the plane such that every pair of adjacent vertices are at unit distance apart. If additionally the corresponding edges are non-crossing…

In 2010 it was proved that a 3-regular matchstick graph of girth 5 must consist at least of 30 vertices. The smallest known example consisted of 180 vertices. In this article we construct an example consisting of 54 vertices and prove its…

Classification of planar unit-distance graphs with up to 9 edges, by homeomorphism and isomorphism classes. With exactly nine edges, there are 633 nonisomorphic connected matchstick graphs, of which 196 are topologically distinct from each…

We consider 3-regular planar matchstick graphs, i.e. those which have a planar embedding such that all edge lengths are equal, with given girth g. For girth 3 it is known that such graphs exist if and only if the number of vertices n is an…

A 4-regular planar graph $G$ is said to be circle representable if there exists a collection of circles drawn on the plane such that the touching and crossing points correspond to the vertices of $G$, and the circular arcs between those…

A matchstick graph is a crossing-free unit-distance graph in the plane. Harborth (1981) proposed the problem of determining whether there exists a matchstick graph in which every vertex has degree exactly $5$. In 1982, Blokhuis gave a proof…

We perform an exhaustive search for the minimum 4-regular unit distance graph resulting in a lower bound of 34 vertices.

For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a unit-distance graph in the plane if there is an injective embedding of $V$ in the plane such that every pair of adjacent vertices are at unit distance apart. If additionally the corresponding edges are…

It is well-known that 1-planar graphs have minimum degree at most 7, and not hard to see that some 1-planar graphs have minimum degree exactly 7. In this note we show that any such 1-planar graph has at least 24 vertices, and this is tight.

A graph whose vertices are points in the plane and whose edges are noncrossing straight-line segments of unit length is called a \emph{matchstick graph}. We prove two somewhat counterintuitive results concerning the maximum number of edges…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, let $q(A)$ be the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$. If $G$ is a connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A=[a_{ij}]$ such that for…

We show that a matchstick graph with $n$ vertices has no more than $3n-c\sqrt{n-1/4}$ edges, where $c=\frac12(\sqrt{12} + \sqrt{2\pi\sqrt{3}})$. The main tools in the proof are the Euler formula, the isoperimetric inequality, and an upper…

This study is the $4^{th}$ part of a detailed study on Type-2 isomorphic circulant graphs having ten parts \cite{v2-1}-\cite{v2-10} and is a continuation of Part 3. Here, we study Type-2 isomorphic circulant graphs of order 54 and show that…

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices. For a vertex i in G, the degree d_i is the number of vertices adjacent to i and the average 2-degree m_i is the mean of the degrees of the vertices which are adjacent to i. The sequence of…

A matchstick graph is a plane graph with edges drawn as unit-distance line segments. Harborth introduced these graphs in 1981 and conjectured that the maximum number of edges for a matchstick graph on $n$ vertices is $\lfloor…
