The energy $E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n$. Majstorovi\'{c} et al. conjectured that complete bipartite graph $K_{2,3}$…

Let $\mathcal{B}(n,q)$ be the class of block graphs on $n$ vertices having all their blocks of the same size. We prove that if $G\in \mathcal{B}(n,q)$ has at most three pairwise adjacent cut vertices then the minimum spectral radius…

The strong chromatic number $\chi_{\text{s}}(G)$ of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is the least number $r$ with the following property: after adding $r \lceil n/r \rceil - n$ isolated vertices to $G$ and taking the union with any collection of…

Burning and cooling are diffusion processes on graphs in which burned (or cooled) vertices spread to their neighbors with a new source picked at discrete time steps. In burning, the one tries to burn the graph as fast as possible, while in…

Brouwer's Conjecture states that, for any graph $G$, the sum of the $k$ largest (combinatorial) Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ is at most $|E(G)| + \binom{k+1}{2}$, $1 \leq k \leq n$. We present several interrelated results establishing…

In this paper, we consider the \emph{firefighter problem} on a graph $G=(V,E)$ that is either finite or infinite. Suppose that a fire breaks out at a given vertex $v \in V$. In each subsequent time unit, a firefighter protects one vertex…

An obstacle representation of a graph $G$ is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of $G$, together with a set of polygonal obstacles such that two vertices of $G$ are connected by an edge in $G$ if and only if the line…

Gutman {\it et al.} introduced the concepts of energy $\En(G)$ and Laplacian energy $\EnL(G)$ for a simple graph $G$, and furthermore, they proposed a conjecture that for every graph $G$, $\En(G)$ is not more than $\EnL(G)$. Unfortunately,…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with degree sequence $(d)=(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n)$ and conjugate degree sequence $(d^*)=(d_1^*,d_2^*,\ldots,d_n^*)$. In \cite{AkbariGhorbaniKoolenObudi2010,DasMojallalGutman2017} it was proven that…

For a given graph $G$, the least integer $k\geq 2$ such that for every Abelian group $\mathcal{G}$ of order $k$ there exists a proper edge labeling $f:E(G)\rightarrow \mathcal{G}$ so that $\sum_{x\in N(u)}f(xu)\neq \sum_{x\in N(v)}f(xv)$…

For a simple graph $G$, the energy $\mathcal{E}(G)$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix $A(G)$. Let $n, m$, respectively, be the number of vertices and edges of $G$. One well-known…

The book number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum number of triangles sharing a common edge. A strengthening of Mantel's theorem due to Rademacher states that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor$ edges contains at…

An $r$-hued coloring of a simple graph $G$ is a proper coloring of its vertices such that every vertex $v$ is adjacent to at least $\min\{r, \deg(v)\}$ differently colored vertices. The minimum number of colors needed for an $r$-hued…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S . The domination number of G, denoted by $\gamma$(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. In a breakthrough…

A $\frac{1}{k}$-majority $l$-edge-colouring of a graph $G$ is a colouring of its edges with $l$ colours such that for every colour $i$ and each vertex $v$ of $G$, at most $\frac{1}{k}$'th of the edges incident with $v$ have colour $i$. We…

We propose a strengthening of the conclusion in Tur\'an's (3,4)-conjecture in terms of algebraic shifting, and show that its analogue for graphs does hold. In another direction, we generalize the Mantel-Tur\'an theorem by weakening its…

Let $D$ be an oriented graph. The inversion of a set $X$ of vertices in $D$ consists in reversing the direction of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, denoted by ${\rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of inversions…

The n-th crossing number of a graph G, denoted cr_n(G), is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of G on an orientable surface of genus n. We prove that for every a>b>0, there exists a graph G for which cr_0(G) = a, cr_1(G) = b, and…

In this paper we count all the subpaths of a given graph G; including the subpaths of length zero, and we call this quantity the subpath number of G. The subpath number is related to the extensively studied number of subtrees, as it can be…
