A digraph $ D $ with $ r\in V(D) $ is an $ r $-flame if for every $ {v\in V(D)-r} $, the in-degree of $ v $ is equal to the local edge-connectivity $ \lambda_D(r,v) $. We show that for every digraph $ D $ and $ r\in V(D) $, the edge sets of…

An $r$-rooted (possibly infinite) digraph $ D=(V,E) $ is a flame if for every $ v\in V\setminus \{ r \} $ there exists a set of edge-disjoint paths from $r$ to $v$ in $D$ that covers all ingoing edges of $ v $. Flames were first studied by…

An $r$-rooted digraph is a flame if for each non-root vertex $v$, there is a set of edge-disjoint directed paths from $r$ to $v$ that covers all ingoing edges of $v$. The study of flames was initiated by Lov\'asz, who showed that in a…

A rooted digraph is a vertex-flame if for every vertex $v$ there is a set of internally disjoint directed paths from the root to $v$ whose set of terminal edges covers all ingoing edges of $v$. It was shown by Lov\'{a}sz that every finite…

The study of minimal subgraphs witnessing a connectivity property is an important field in graph theory. The foundation for large flames has been laid by Lov\'asz: Let $ D=(V,E) $ be a finite digraph and let $ r\in V $. The local…

It follows from a theorem of Lov\'asz that if $ D $ is a finite digraph with $ r\in V(D) $ then there is a spanning subdigraph $ E $ of $ D $ such that for every vertex $ v\neq r $ the following quantities are equal: the local connectivity…

Recently, bidirected graphs have received increasing attention from the graph theory community with both structural and algorithmic results. Bidirected graphs are a generalization of directed graphs, consisting of an undirected graph…

The burning number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of rounds required to burn all vertices when, at each discrete step, existing fires spread to neighboring vertices and one new fire may be ignited at an unburned vertex. This…

Lov\'{a}sz and Cherkassky discovered independently that, if $G$ is a finite graph and $T\subseteq V(G)$ such that the degree $d_G(v)$ is even for every vertex $v\in V(G)\setminus T$, then the maximum number of edge-disjoint paths which are…

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. We prove that every…

A temporal digraph ${\cal G}$ is a triple $(G, \gamma, \lambda)$ where $G$ is a digraph, $\gamma$ is a function on $V(G)$ that tells us the timestamps when a vertex is active, and $\lambda$ is a function on $E(G)$ that tells for each $uv…

For a digraph $D=(V(D), A(D))$, and a set $S\subseteq V(D)$ with $r\in S$ and $|S|\geq 2$, an $(S, r)$-tree is an out-tree $T$ rooted at $r$ with $S\subseteq V(T)$. Two $(S, r)$-trees $T_1$ and $T_2$ are said to be arc-disjoint if…

We prove that finding a rooted subtree with at least $k$ leaves in a digraph is a fixed parameter tractable problem. A similar result holds for finding rooted spanning trees with many leaves in digraphs from a wide family $\cal L$ that…

Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…

The dichromatic number $\vec\chi(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the minimum size of a partition of its vertices into acyclic induced subgraphs. We denote by $\lambda(D)$ the maximum local edge connectivity of a digraph $D$. Neumann-Lara proved…

A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…

A decomposition of a simple graph $G$ is a pair $(G,P)$ where $P$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$, which partitions the edges of $G$ in the sense that every edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one subgraph in $P$. If the elements of $P$ are induced…

Graph burning is a natural discrete graph algorithm inspired by the spread of social contagion. Despite its simplicity, some open problems remain steadfastly unsolved, notably the burning number conjecture, which says that every connected…

Graph burning is a discrete time process which can be used to model the spread of social contagion. One is initially given a graph of unburned vertices. At each round (time step), one vertex is burned; unburned vertices with at least one…
