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.

Graph automorphism group

Here is a complete answer. The answer to Q1 is 'no, because $A_w=\{1,2\}$ and $A_s=\{1\}$'. The answer to Q2 is 'no, $A_w$ contains merely two, while $A_s$ contains merely one element. The answer to …

Strong and weak chromatic number of infinite hypergraphs of finite rank

Since the OP did not require that the rank of the hypergraph be bounded, the answer to the question is 'obviously yes'. An example is any hypergraph $H$ which is(*) the disjoint union of $\aleph …

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 …

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 …

In the context of directed graphs is it standard notation to allow an element of an independ...

Well, I personally don't think there is much to say here; regarding "are there any authors who define independent vertex-sets in directed graphs where vertices contained in loops are permitted": I kno …

Is the difference sequence of the maximum size of $k$-colorable subgraph non-increasing?

Answer. No, this sequence will not always be non-increasing. A counterexample is given in [AB1980] Michael O. Albertson, David M. Berman, The Chromatic Difference Sequence of a Graph, Journal of …

What does the basis of the null space of the constraint matrix of a flow problem look like?

An illustrated example right-away Not to immediately bore you with lengthy preliminary remarks, let me begin with an illustration which, in a sense, already is an answer in itself. Here is an example …
