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.

Given a graph, how to build another "difficult" isomorphic graph from it?

Suppose I want to test an algorithm for graph isomorphism check. Starting from a given graph, I would do a random permutation of vertices to build the second graph. Is there a way of making another is …

Literature about graph isomorphism and incidence matrix [closed]

I would like to read some paper, if any, for some classes of graphs, regarding inverting (right/left inverting) the incidence matrix to solve the graph isomorphism problem. Or anyway some known facts …

Non-isomorphic walk-regular graphs with the same number of closed walks at any length

Are there known examples of couples of non-isomorphic walk-regular graphs with adjacency matrix $A_1$ and $A_2$ and such that $(A_1^k)_{i,i} = (A_2^k)_{i,i}$ for all $k \gt 0$?

Graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges and more probable property

Following to my previous question on the same topic, I would like to have some opinions whether the present refinement have some chances to work or is doomed to fail. Given the positive integers $n$ a …

Isomorphism of two regular hypergraphs

Consider two undirected $k$-regular hypergraphs on $n$ vertices with (see e.g. OEIS A319190). Are the two hypergraphs isomorphic if an only if the two multisets of the sizes of their respective hypere …

Remove an edge from the Hasse diagram of a finite lattice

If we remove an edge from the Hasse diagram of a finite lattice, as long as any vertex maintain at least one upward edge and at least one downward edge, do we still always have a lattice from the resu …

Do all graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges have a special property?

Given the positive integers $n$ and $m$, consider the set of graphs $\mathcal{G} = \{G=(V,E): |V|=n \land |E|=m\}$. For which values of $n$ and $m$ does the following requirement hold: $\forall G \in …

Lower bound for the minimum of the maximum frequency of an element - with restrictions

Consider a family $\mathcal{F}$ of non-empty sets, with $n=|\mathcal{F}|$ sets, $q=\left|\cup\mathcal{F}\right|$ elements in the universe, and $q\le n/4$. It is known that of the $\binom{n}{2}$ ways t …

Looking for a counterexample to a strengthening of the union-closed sets conjecture

A family of counterexamples was found at math.stackexchange using projective planes as I should have expected. I have copied the answer here for convenience: Let $n = q^2+q+1$ and consider a projecti …
