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.

What is the independence number of hamming graph?

The Hamming graph $H(n,d)$ has $2^n$ vertices labeled by the binary vectors of length $n$, two vertices being joined by an edge if and only if the Hamming distance between the corresponding vec …

Solving graph theory problems using neural networks

Here is an example that has found a real-world application, in the context of quantum error correction: The decoding of stabilizer codes is a problem of minimum weight-perfect matching on a graph (for …

Can the graph removal lemma be proved directly from the triangle removal lemma?

A proof of the Graph Removal Lemma that avoids using the regularity lemma can be found in A new proof of the graph removal lemma (2010). For an explanation why a direct proof of the Graph Removal Lemm …

Question about graph Ginzburg-Landau equation

If you add an $i$-independent time-dependent term $\delta\theta=\omega t+\gamma$ to $\theta_i$ then the difference $\theta_k-\theta_i$ that appears in the amplitude equation is unchanged. The phase e …

regular graphs with the smallest eigenvalue -2?

Connected regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $−2$ are either a line graph, a cocktail party graph, or the number of vertices is at most 28. P. J. Cameron, J. M. Goethals, J. J. Seidel a …

Intuition of the energy of a graph

The name "energy" only makes physical sense for a bipartite graph, where the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix come in pairs $\pm\lambda$. If graph represents a molecule, the adjacency matrix is the …
