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.

Cubic graphs, unfriendly partitions and hamiltonicity

We say that a $2$-coloring of a graph $G$ is unfriendly if every vertex has at least as many neighbors of the color opposite to his own. Such a coloring always exist and can be obtained by partitionin …

Inertia of the cone graph

Let $\widehat{G}$ be the graph obtained by adding a vertex to a graph $G$ and joining it to all vertices in $V(G)$. Let $\sigma(G)$ be the number of non-positive eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of …

A variant of Ramsey numbers

The well known Ramsey number $R(k)$ is the least integer $n$ so that every 2-edge coloring of $K_n$ contains a monochromatic $K_k.$ Another interpretation of the above definition is that every graph …

Proper edge colorings with no bi-colored 5-paths

Consider you want to properly edge color a graph such that it has no bi-colored cycle. Denote by $\alpha'(G)$ the least number of colors required to color the edges of $G$ in such a way. It is well k …

Isomorphism problem on the class of induced subgraphs of a hypercube

A problem that I am currently studying translates to the problem of deciding whether two induced subgraphs of the hypercube $Q_k$ are isomorphic. Now it feels to me that this class of graphs is "too …

Induced subgraphs of small strongly regular graphs

Consider a strongly regular graph $G$ with parameters $(76,30,8,14).$ Hoffman's bound tells us that $\overline{G}$ has an independent set of size at most $4$ and its not hard to see there are indeed $ …

Determine if a graph has a large clique

This question is quite specific and practical. I hope it is still relevant for MO and will not be removed. I have a collection $\mathcal{C}$ of graphs having from 5000-6000 vertices and edge density …

Regular graphs whose neighbourhoods induce matchings

Studying some problem I've arrived to the following notion. Let a $2r$-regular graph $G$ be called neighbour-matching if $N(v) = rK_2.$ In other words, the neighbourhood of any vertex induces a matc …

Graphs with many positive eigenvalues of their distance matrix

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph $D(G)$ its distance matrix and $n_{+}(G), n_{-}(G)$ the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of $D(G)$ respectively. We call a graph $G$ optimistic if $n_{+ …

Minimal graphs of prescribed girth and chromatic number

The well known result of Erdős, states that Given integers $g > 2$ and $k > 1$ there exist a graph $G$ with $\chi(G) \geq k$ and girth at least $g.$ What I am wondering is When can we expect …

Probability that a random edge coloring of the complete graph is proper

This is a repost of this math.se question that I am posting here since it received no attention there. What is the probability that a random edge coloring of $K_n$ with $m \geq n$ colors resul …

Tutte polynomials, graph complements and degree sequences

Harary and Akiyama asked whether there exists a non self-complementary (SC) graph $G$ having the same chromatic polynomial as its complement. It was later shown that there indeed exist such graphs a …

Is the empty graph a tree?

This is a boring, technical question that I stumbled upon while making a contribution to Sage. I would still like to hear a constructive answer so hopefully the question does not get closed. The que …

Generating non-isomorphic graphs by adding edges to a given graph

This question is in a way related to the one I posted on math.se. Since the question there did not produce any final answer I am trying my luck here! I am given a fairly large graph $G$ and subsets $ …

I am studying some properties related to bipartite graphs and it would be useful for me to know if there is anything known about the structure of almost all bipartite graphs. For example, is it true t …
