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.

Graph theory meta-question

If property (P) holds for perfect graphs and almost all graphs does it hold for all graphs?

Graphs with a unique transmission value

If $G$ is a graph with distance function $d(x,y)$ between vertices, the transmission of a vertex $x \in v(G)$ is defined as $\sigma_{x}=\sum_{y \neq x}{d(x,y)}$. I want to know if there is a known cha …

Reference for "almost all graphs have diameter 2"

The property in the title is well-known. I am trying to find an original reference to its first appearance in print. The 4th edition of Graphs & Digraphs by Chartrand and Lesniak lists this as Theorem …

Hamiltonian cycles in power-graphs

I've stumbled across a short note from 1993 where a nice question was asked: Suppose you take a graph with vertices $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and connect $i,j$ by an edge if and only if $i+j$ is a $k$th powe …

Toroidality testing

Is there a standard test for the recognition of toroidal graphs? I have been using the Boyer-Myrvold planarity algorithm, which has a MATLAB and C++ implementation, and I would like to know if there …

Have you come across this kind of "degree" concept?

Let $A \subseteq V(G)$ be a set of vertices in a graph $G$ and let $v \in V(G)$ be some vertex. Define $d_{A}(v)$ as the number of neighbours of $v$ inside $A$. Now suppose you have a graph whose ver …

Is number of quasi-kernels NP-hard?

A quasi-kernel in a directed graph D is an independent subset of vertices $S$ so that for every $v \in V(D)-S$ either $v->s$ for some $s \in S$ or $v->w->s$ for some $w \in V(D)-S, s \in S$. Equivale …

If a graph invariant is NP-Hard, is its "deck ratio" NP-Hard as well?

This question is inspired by the Graph Reconstruction Conjecture. Suppose that $\psi$ is some graph invariant and that it is NP-Hard. There is a plethora of examples, of course. Now define $D_{\psi}(G …

Confused about orbits

I am trying to apply the main theorem of this paper to a certain kind of graph and keep getting confused. The theorem uses $rank(Aut\Gamma)$ which is defined as "the number of $Aut \Gamma$ orbits on t …

almost-bipartite nearly-isolated subgraphs

I am looking for examples/families of graphs with the following (maybe vague-sounding at first) property: the graph $G$ has a relatively large subgraph $B$ such that $B$ is bipartite-plus-a-few-edges …

What is/are the best bound/s on the sum of squares of degrees in a graph?

Let $G$ be a graph with degrees $d_{1},\ldots,d_{n}$. I am interested in upper bounds on $$ \sum_{i=1}^{n}{d_{i}^{2}}. $$ An example is de Caen's bound: $$ \sum_{i=1}^{n}{d_{i}^{2}} \leq e(\frac{2e}{ …

Full-rank factorization of the graph Laplacian

Is there a combinatorially meaningful full-rank factorization of the Laplacian matrix of a graph? The usual factorization $L=BB^{T}$, where $B$ is an oriented incidence matrix, is full-rank if and on …

A conjecture about strongly regular graphs

Let $G \neq K_{v}$ be a $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ strongly regular graph. After perusing through Brouwer's tables of parameters I have formed the conjecture $$\lambda-\mu \leq \frac{k}{2}.$$ So far I have …

Graphs with circulant distance matrices

The cycle has this property. For instance, the distance matrix for a 6-cycle is: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 2 & 1 \\\\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 2 \\\\ …

Graphs with constant edge imbalance

The imbalance of an edge $(u,v) \in E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as $|d(u)-d(v)|$ ($d$ being, as usual the degree). (This concept was introduced by Albertson in 1997) I'm interested in the set of …
