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.

Multiplicity of the smallest non-zero Laplacian eigenvalue for tree graphs

The multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues of tree graphs is studied in arXiv:1907.11482. If $\Delta$ is the maximal degree of the graph, and $\Delta\geq 2$, then the multiplicity $m_2$ of $\lambda_2$ …

Is there a version of Weyl's law for graph Laplacians?

For $N_\lambda$ denoting the number of eigenvalues less than $\lambda$, Weyl's law gives the asymptotics of $N_\lambda$ as $\lambda$ tends to infinity. The usual approach to establish this asymptotics …

Has Plummer's open problem on the cyclic connectivity of planar graphs been solved?

Yes, it has been solved. In 1989 Borodin proved that the maximum cyclic edge connectivity of a 5-connected planar graph is at most 11, improving on Plummer's upper bound of 13. The 11 bound is tight [ …

A reliable reference for the statement every $k$-tree is uniquely $(k + 1)$-colorable

I presume there are many "reliable references", here is one: Well-covered Graphs, Unique Colorability, and Covering Range, it's a 6-line proof at the bottom of page 4.

First known proof of the $2 \cdot n-2$ Theorem for the planar generalization of the Nine dot...

This might satisy the "formally correct" criterion: Unicursal polygonal paths and other graphs on point lattices by Golomb and Selfridge (1970). It generalizes and extends the 1955 proof by Selfridge, …

The origin of a planar graph theorem of Steinitz and Rademacher

According to Frank Lutz's article it's in paragraph 46 of the Steinitz-Rademacher book: "every triangulated 2-sphere can be reduced to the boundary of the tetrahedron by a sequence of edge contraction …

About a result by P. Erdős and H. Sachs on graph with large girth

I OCR'd the text from the abstract (the pdf contains poor quality text, OCR'ing it yourself gives better results), pasted the OCR'ed text into DeepL, and received the following, without any edits from …

How to effectively search Internet for graphs not for function graphs?

Use Google Scholar instead of plain Google; I simply entered graphs and pretty much all the items returned by Google Scholar refer to graphs in the mathematical context. It also suggests helpful speci …

Qualitative values between two electrons in an atom or how to interpret these values?

The key physics that governs the ionisation energies is shell formation; electrons in the same atomic shell have similar ionisation energies; the number of electrons in the $n$-th shell is $2n^2$, so …

Why is the spectrum of Erdős–Renyi random graph approximately symmetric?

The Erdős–Renyi random matrix $G$ is a rank-one perturbation of a matrix $H$ with zero mean, $$G=H+pv^\top v,\;\;v=(1,1,\ldots 1)^\top.$$ The spectrum of $H$ is symmetric, while the eigenvalues $\lamb …
