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.

Different graphs with the same open neighborhood hypergraph
The answer to the first question is positive. Consider two graphs on eight vertices each consisting of two disjoint 4-cycles: the first one's cycles are $abcd$ and $efgh$, the second's ones are $afch$ …

A question about a specific partition of a graph
Denote $d_A(v)=|N_G(v)\cap A|$, $d_B(v)=|N_G(v)\cap B|$. Set $S_A=\{(a,b)\in A\times B\colon N_G(a)\cap N_G(b)\cap A\neq\varnothing\}$ and $S_B=\{(a,b)\in A\times B\colon N_G(a)\cap N_G(b)\cap B\neq\v …

Isomorphic Hadwiger graphs
$\def\Hadw{\mathop{\rm Hadw}}$If it is not a mauvais ton, I would like to add an easier proof found independently by Sergey Dolgikh and Marat Abdrakhmanov (we used this fact as a contest problem). We …

the minimum possible value of the order of a graph G which is a finite union of N-order comp...
In a beautiful paper A. Hajnal obtained the following Lemma.
Lemma. Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices containing no $(k+1)$-clique. Then all $k$-cliques in $G$ have at least $2k-n$ common vertices.

Isomorphic Hadwiger graphs
$\def\Hadw{\mathop{\rm Hadw}}$This is true for finite graphs, and false for (not necessarily connected) infinite graphs. Right now I do not know what happens for infinite connected graphs.

n-cube connectivity problem
Every vertex removed from the $k$th layer prohibits $k!(n-k)!\leq (n-1)!$ paths. Thus, if $n$ removed verices prohibit all $n!$ paths, then each of them prohibits exactly $(n-1)!$ paths, and the sets …

Critical graphs and endomorphisms
Say that a graph is strongly critical if deletion of any vertex or edge decreases its chromatic number.
Take any two nonisomorphic $k$-strongly critical graphs $G$ and $H$ with the same number of ver …

3-coloring of specific planar graphs
It seems that the statement is true even without the assumption that the graph is planar. Actually, let $T$ be a tree which is not a star, and let $C$ be a cycle on all the leaves of $T$; then the gra …

Bound on the largest minimal vertex cover in a graph
Take a complete graph $K_d$. For every its vertex $u$, take $d$ more vertices connected just to $u$. We get $d(d+1)$ vertices in total.
Every minimal vertex cover contains all but one vertices of $K_ …

Total chromatic number and bipartite graphs
Let $a=\chi(G)\geq 3$ and $b=\chi'(G)$. Paint the vertices in $a$ colors and edges in $b$ colors properly. Now choose one color class of edges. Repaint each of them into one of the first $a$ colors, d …

Degree of neighbors in a simple graph (friendship paradox variant)
Well, a modification of the previous example works. Take some number $n$ such that there are proper divisors $a\mid n$ and $b\mid n+1$ with $a>b$. Let $V=V_1\sqcup V_2$, with $|V_1|=n$, $|V_2|=n+1$. T …

Smallest odd cycle in a non-bipartite graph
I care only about linear term in the answer, relaxing an additive constant. However, for $n=12k+11$ I show the tight answer.
An example I told in a comment was slightly suboptimal. An optimal one is …

Do graphs with $\omega(G) = \chi(G)$ grow "common" as $|V|$ grows large?
I would say that this limit is zero. Most of the graphs on $n$ vertices have $\sim n^2/4$ edges. For such graph, the expected number of complete subgraphs of size $k\sim2\log_2n$ is
$$
{n\choose k}\ …

Majority coloring for directed graphs
Let me answer Question 2. The answer is in negative: there exists an upper bound for majority coloring numbers of all tournaments. I will not care about the sharpness of the bound.
Let $G$ be a tourn …

Which paths in a graph are orthogonal to all cycles?
EDIT Take te multiset of all edges of $\gamma$; if it contains a pair of inverse edges, remove it, and repeat this while possible. If the resulting multiset is empty, then $c(\gamma)=0$, otherwise we …
