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.

A counterexample to a conjecture of Nash-Williams about hamiltonicity of digraphs?

Maybe I am missing something, but found potential counterexample to a conjecture of Nash-Williams. According to HAMILTONIAN DEGREE SEQUENCES IN DIGRAPHS The outdegree and indegree sequences of digr …

Is deciding if one planar graph is dual to another really NP-hard (Wikipedia claim)?

Wikipedia claims (permanent link) without reference: Testing whether one planar graph is dual to another is NP-complete. Another claim with reference: For any plane graph G, the medial graph …

When are the adjacency matrices of non-isomorphic graphs similar?

From Wikipedia. In linear algebra, two n-by-n matrices A and B are called similar if $$ B = P^{-1} A P$$ for some invertible n-by-n matrix $P$. If $P$ is a permutation matrix, $A$ and $B$ are per …

Conjecture: for perfect graphs the fractional chromatic index rounded up equals the chromati...

Let $\chi'_f(G)$ be the fractional chromatic index. Based on limited experiments (up to 8 vertices and few larger graphs), I suspect: Conjecture For perfect graphs $\lceil \chi'_f(G) \rceil = \chi'( …

Complexity of graph 3 coloring and counting algorithm

3-coloring a graph $G$ is equivalent to partitioning the vertices of $G$ in three independent sets. The smallest independent set $A$ is at most $n/3$ where $n$ is the order of $G$. We have $G \setmi …

Infinitely many counterexamples to Nash-Williams's conjecture about hamiltonicity?

Question from 2013 gives one counterexample to Nash-Williams's conjecture about hamiltonicity of dense digraphs. Later, we found tens of counterexamples on more than 30 vertices and believe there are …
