In a signed graph each edge has a sign, $+1$ or $-1$. We introduce in the present paper a new definition of connection in a signed graph by the existence of both positive and negative chains between vertices. We prove some results and…

Let $S(G^{\sigma})$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of the oriented graph $G^{\sigma}$, which is obtained from a simple undirected graph $G$ by assigning an orientation $\sigma$ to each of its edges. The skew energy of an oriented graph…

We investigate a combinatorial reconfiguration problem on oriented graphs, where a reconfiguration step (edge-flip) is the inversion of the orientation of a single edge. A recently published conjecture that is relevant to the correctness of…

A signed graph $\Sigma$ is a pair $(G,\sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph in which each edge is assigned $+1$ or $-1$ by the signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow\{-1,+1\}$. In this paper, we extend the extensively applied…

A signed graph is a graph in which each edge is labeled with $+1$ or $-1$. A (proper) vertex coloring of a signed graph is a mapping $\f$ that assigns to each vertex $v\in V(G)$ a color $\f(v)\in \mz$ such that every edge $vw$ of $G$…

We prove inequalities between the densities of various bipartite subgraphs in signed graphs and graphons. One of the main inequalities is that the density of any bipartite graph with girth r cannot exceed the density of the r-cycle. This…

We present an undirected version of the recently introduced flow-augmentation technique: Given an undirected multigraph $G$ with distinguished vertices $s,t \in V(G)$ and an integer $k$, one can in randomized $k^{O(1)} \cdot (|V(G)| +…

We explore the well-known Jaeger's directed cycle double cover conjecture which is equivalent to the assertion that every cubic bridgeless graph has an embedding on a closed orientable surface with no dual loop. We associate each cubic…

Shift graphs, which were introduced by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal, have been used to answer various questions in extremal graph theory. In this paper, we prove two new results using shift graphs and their induced subgraphs. 1. Recently Girao…

An edge-coloured cycle is rainbow if the edges have distinct colours. Let $G$ be a graph such that any $k$ vertices lie in a cycle of $G$. The $k$-rainbow cycle index of $G$, denoted by $crx_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colours required…

The dual of a planar graph $G$ is a planar graph $G^*$ that has a vertex for each face of $G$ and an edge for each pair of adjacent faces of $G$. The profound relationship between a planar graph and its dual has been the algorithmic basis…

An $acyclic$ edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycle s. The \emph{acyclic chromatic index} of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic e dge coloring using k colors…

An all-to-all routing in a graph $G$ is a set of oriented paths of $G$, with exactly one path for each ordered pair of vertices. The load of an edge under an all-to-all routing $R$ is the number of times it is used (in either direction) by…

In 1983, Bouchet conjectured that every flow-admissible signed graph admits a nowhere-zero $6$-flow. In this paper, we prove that Bouchet's conjecture holds for all signed ladders, circular and M\"obius ladders. In fact, all signed ladders,…

In order to study $\mathbf{M}(R,C)$, the set of binary matrices with fixed row and column sums $R$ and $C$, we consider sub-matrices of the form $\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0…

It is well known that each nonnegative integral flow on a graph can be decomposed into a sum of nonnegative graphic circuit flows, which cannot be further decomposed into nonnegative integral sub-flows. This is equivalent to saying that the…

Let G be an edge weighted undirected graph. For every pair of nodes consider the shortest cycle containing these nodes in G. The cycle diameter of G is the maximum length of a cycle in this set. Let H be a directed graph obtained by…

For some time the Petersen graph has been the only known Snark with circular flow number $5$ (or more, as long as the assertion of Tutte's $5$-flow Conjecture is in doubt). Although infinitely many such snarks were presented eight years ago…

Consider a routing problem consisting of a demand graph H and a supply graph G. If the pair obeys the cut condition, then the flow-cut gap for this instance is the minimum value C such that there is a feasible multiflow for H if each edge…

Self-similar stable mixed moving average processes can be related to nonsingular flows through their minimal representations. Self-similar stable mixed moving averages related to dissipative flows have been studied, as well as processes…
