Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

"Hamiltonicity" of a graph

$H(G)\leq \lvert V(G)\rvert-1$ for every finite connected graph. Proof. Consider any spanning tree $T$ of $G$, double every edge of $T$, choose any Euler tour $W$ of this auxiliary graph, consider t …

Density of Cliques in Random Graphs

If by "density" you do not strictly restrict your question to quantitative results (in the sense of results about the numerical value of the clique density), but rather also more qualitative/structura …

Bounding a graph invariant

The supremum $q$ of the quantity $q(G)$ you are interested in, over the class of all finite graphs, is at least $\frac13$. For the time being, I do neither know whether $q$ is larger than $\frac13$, …

Complete minors and minimal degree

Not an answer but an observation: for any fixed order $r$ of the complete minor, your question can be answered by a finite search over the set of all graphs of order at most $c_{\mathrm{Kostochka}}\sq …

Counting labeled triangle-free graphs on $n$ vertices

user36212 has already essentially answered the question; the state of the art has not yet been pointed out though (by that I mean I miss a mention of the latest relevant publications, and a mention o …

Orthogonal representations of graphs

Thanks to a commenter for pointing out that the following was hasty: the fallacy is of course in the statement that the edgeless graph had no faithful orthogonal representation. I'll leave it at that, …

Number of spanning trees: bounds from structural parameters

Kostochka's Upper Bound. It is now almost seven years that no one has mentioned the following widely-known, proved, completely general upper bound in terms of the degree-sequence: Theorem (A. Kos …

cell complexes and higher graph theory

As to your first question, the term "unfair" is not part of mathematical discourse. Of course one can impose axioms, in principle; what good comes of it, depends on the situation. And of course in the …

Neighborhood fingerprint of a graph

Answer. Arguably the simplest infinite set of counterexamples to "Does the converse hold?" are provided by the Möbius ladder's vis-à-vis the prism graphs. Any pair of such graphs (of equal orders) bea …

Non-isomorphic graphs with bijective graph homomorphisms in both directions between them

Here are two partial answers: EDIT: (the following is tentative; in light of Jeremy Rickards example, which is vertex-3-connected, and with which I cannot find anything wrong, something must be wron …

Does there exist a graph with maximum degree 8, chromatic number 8, clique number 6?

Relevant footnotes to Fedor Petrov's nice, helpful, and completely correct answer. Fedor's answer seems essentially unimprovable both in brevity and completeness (it's all there). I hadn't expected …

"Eccentricity" in the Definition of Graph Center

Re: 'is it customary'. Yes, this is the customary term, and I don't know any reasonable alternative to using the eccentricity function. The term (with exactly this definition) already occurs on page 3 …

Does anyone know a specific polynomial-time algorithm to detect if a given signed graph cont...

As a consequence of [Seymour, P.D., The matroids with the max-flow min-cut property, JCT B, 23 (1977), p. 189-222], a finite signed graph has an odd $K^4$ as signed minor if and only if the sy …

Can we define an isomorphism invariant to measure "dimension" of an undirected simple graph?

Five answers, 'by vague association' and 'lateral thinking' (which is unavoidable for this vague question, I think). All in all, I think that any definition you will give will have an 'air' of arbitra …
