In this paper arithmetic progressions on the integers and the integers modulo n are extended to graphs. This allows for the definition of the anti-van der Waerden number of a graph. Much of the focus of this paper is on 3-term arithmetic…

The anti-van der Waerden number of a graph $G$ is the fewest number of colors needed to guarantee a rainbow $3$-term arithmetic progression in $G$, denoted $\operatorname{aw}(G,3)$. It is known that the anti-van der Waerden number of graph…

Determining the crossing numbers of Cartesian products of small graphs with arbitrarily large paths has been an ongoing topic of research since the 1970s. Doing so requires the establishment of coincident upper and lower bounds; the former…

In this paper we study Cartesian products of graphs and their divisorial gonality, which is a tropical version of the gonality of an algebraic curve. We present an upper bound on the gonality of the Cartesian product of any two graphs, and…

In this paper, we provide results for the search number of the Cartesian product of graphs. We consider graphs on opposing ends of the spectrum: paths and cliques. Our main result determines the pathwidth of the product of cliques and…

We prove that the stack-number of the strong product of three $n$-vertex paths is $\Theta(n^{1/3})$. The best previously known upper bound was $O(n)$. No non-trivial lower bound was known. This is the first explicit example of a graph…

A $k$-term arithmetic progression ($k$-AP) in a graph $G$ is a list of vertices such that each consecutive pair of vertices is the same distance apart. If $c$ is a coloring function of the vertices of $G$ and a $k$-AP in $G$ has each vertex…

We study linkedness of Cartesian product of graphs and prove that the product of an $a$-linked and a $b$-linked graphs is $(a+b-1)$-linked if the graphs are sufficiently large. Further bounds in terms of connectivity are shown. We determine…

There has been significant research dedicated towards computing the crossing numbers of families of graphs resulting from the Cartesian products of small graphs with arbitrarily large paths, cycles and stars. For graphs with four or fewer…

An \emph{antimagic labeling} of a finite undirected simple graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices is a bijection from the set of edges to the integers $1,...,m$ such that all $n$ vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where a vertex sum is the…

We study inheritance of path-pairability in the Cartesian product of graphs, and prove different (such as additive and multiplicative) inheritance patterns of path-pairability, depending on the size of the Cartesian product. We present…

Given a graph $G$, an exact $r$-coloring of $G$ is a surjective function $c:V(G) \to [1,\dots,r]$. An arithmetic progression in $G$ of length $j$ with common difference $d$ is a set of vertices $\{v_1,\dots, v_j\}$ such that…

In this paper we present a lower bound for the domination number of the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, that is tight if the length of the cycle is a multiple of five. This bound improves the natural lower bound obtained by using…

We consider a variation of Cops and Robber, introduced in [D. Cox and A. Sanaei, The damage number of a graph, [Aust. J. of Comb. 75(1) (2019) 1-16] where vertices visited by a robber are considered damaged and a single cop aims to minimize…

In this work, we study the $\delta$-chromatic number of a graph which is the chromatic number of the $\delta$-complement of a graph. We give a structure of the $\delta$-complements and sharp bounds on the $\delta$-chromatic numbers of the…

In their seminal paper Erd\H{o}s and Szemer\'edi formulated conjectures on the size of sumset and product set of integers. The strongest form of their conjecture is about sums and products along the edges of a graph. In this paper we show…

In their seminal paper from 1983, Erd\H{o}s and Szemer\'edi showed that any $n$ distinct integers induce either $n^{1+\epsilon}$ distinct sums of pairs or that many distinct products, and conjectured a lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$. They…

The anti-Ramsey number $AR(n,G$), for a graph $G$ and an integer $n\geq|V(G)|$, is defined to be the minimal integer $r$ such that in any edge-colouring of $K_n$ by at least $r$ colours there is a multicoloured copy of $G$, namely, a copy…

Let $G$ be an undirected simple connected graph. We say a vertex $u$ is eccentric to a vertex $v$ in $G$ if $d(u,v)=\max\{d(v,w): w\in V(G)\}$. The eccentric graph, $E(G)$ of $G$ is a graph defined on the same vertex set as of $G$ and two…

This article investigates the isomorphism problem for graphs derived from the four standard graph products: Cartesian, Kronecker (direct), strong, and lexicographic product. We provide a complete characterization of all simple connected…
