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.

Are all subdivisions of bipartite graphs also bipartite?

I can write up this one. It looks like the definition of subdivision of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is: for every edge $\{u,v\}$, create a new vertex $w_{u,v}$. Make a new edge $\{u,w_{u,v}\}$ and a new edge …

Algorithm to find the “optimal” path in a given graph

I think we can transform your problem into a standard shortest-path problem. The key points are The magnitudes of the heights don't matter, just the order (because we want to find the path from $u$ …

Almost all simple graphs are small world networks

whether there is an elementary proof that almost all simple graphs are very small world networks Following up on Brendan McKay's comment. The chance that an Edos-Renyi$(0.5,n)$ graph has diameter …

What do shortest-path algorithms actually calculate?

Computer Science often (usually, in my experience) defines a path as a sequence of vertices with edges between them, i.e. what others call a walk. E.g. on my shelf, this definition appears in Algorith …

Probability of a graph procedure

Here's one. You can think of the graph construction process as gradually building a set $S$ of vertices that have been touched so far, beginning with a random two vertices. Let $S_k$ be the set of the …

Vertex degree on random graphs

Just an amateur answer, I would assume there's a paper or known approach out there from experts. I would partition the vertices into equal sets $U,V$ and delete edges to make it a bipartite graph. It …

Maximum matching in a graph with no "shortcuts"

I think we can use a greedy-type algorithm based on topological sorting into layers. Due to Tony's answer, we know we can ignore the no-shortcuts assumption, so take any DAG with in-degree and out-deg …

Significance of the Eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a weighted di-graph

Your idea is pretty much spot on; this is the area of spectral graph theory. Often the graph Laplacian is used rather than its adjacency matrix -- the Laplacian is defined as $L = D - A$ where $A$ is …
