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.

Issue UPDATE: in graph theory, different definitions of edge crossing numbers - impact on ap...
Assuming an unpublished Ramsey-type result by Robertson and Seymour about Kuratowski minors [FK18, Claim 5], which is now "folklore" in the graph-minor community,
an asymptotic variant of the crossing …

Do there exist sparse graphs with large crossing number?
Take the following graph: start with the complete graph $K_5$, and replace every edge by $n/10$ paths of length $2$. The resulting graph has $n+5$ vertices, $2n$ edges, and crossing number $n^2/100$.

Page-turning number of a graph
The page-turning number of a graph $G$ is also known as the bandwidth of $G$ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_bandwidth).
The Wikipedia page also contains values of the bandwidth for some special …

Always a planar-drawn cycle through $n$ points
Every shortest cycle through the $n$ points is noncrossing. This can be easily shown by contradiction: if two edges are crossing, they form the diagonals of a convex $4$-gon, and we can replace them b …

Are infinite planar graphs still 4-colorable?
Regarding Q1:
The graph is a subgraph of the visibility graph of the integer lattice. Every sublattice $x+2\mathbb{Z} \times 2\mathbb{Z}$ is an independent set in the visibility graph, and the integer …

Is every graph an isomorphic factor of some complete graph?
Q1: yes, this is a theorem by Wilson; see the first paragraph here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07282
Edit: perhaps the book Decomposition of graphs by J. Bosak might be helpful (the preview on google …

Computational (conjecture) choices for a path
Let $S=\Sigma v_i$. If $S=0$, sort the vectors according to their angle along the unit circle. Then the corresponding closed path traces the boundary of a convex polygon.
In fact, the vectors $v_i$ ca …

Spanning trees of plane graphs containing an edge of every face
A triangulation has a spanning tree with the required property if and only if its dual graph has a hamiltonian path (is traceable).
Zamfirescu constructed a 3-regular 3-connected planar non-traceable …

Coloring of a graph representing the power set
For $k\ge n+1$ there is a proper coloring of $G$ where each set in $\mathcal{P}$ is colored by its cardinality. Then no vertex $v$ has a neighbor with the same color.

Is a simple graph the "sum" of a partial order and its dual?
Here is a counting argument showing that almost all $n$-graph matrices are counterexamples.
There are $2^{(1/2+o(1))\cdot n^2}$ graphs on $n$ vertices, but only $2^{(1/4+o(1))\cdot n^2}$ partial orde …

Find all 2-planar drawings of $K_6$ and $K_7$
The list of all good drawings of $K_6$ can be found in the doctoral thesis by Nabil H. Rafla: https://escholarship.mcgill.ca/concern/theses/x346d4920
On pages 164-165 the drawings are described by the …

Wait time to grid network disconnection with failing edges
This is an approximation of the answer. The main message is that, indeed, the probability of disconnection is dominated by isolated vertices.
I will assume that $\delta=1/m$, for some large positive …

Reference request: monochromatic paths in edge-colored complete graphs
For the multi-color Ramsey numbers of even cycles, Luczak, Simonovits and Skokan proved that $R(C_k;c)\le ck+o(k)$ for fixed number $c$ of colors and $k\rightarrow \infty$.
For odd cycles, Bondy and …

Chromatic number and graph polynomial
$G=K_{3,3}$ is a counterexample: it has chromatic number $2$ but $\mathrm{rad}(P_G)=3$; there are monomials with all three exponents $1,2,3$.
My conjecture would be that $\mathrm{rad}(P_G)$ is equal …
