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.

Heuristics for lightweighted "cubic" spanning trees
I have the problem of calculating a good approximation of the minimimum-weight spanning tree with vertex-degrees in $\lbrace 1,3\rbrace$ of a complete symmetric graph, without parallel edges or self-l …

Complexity of calculating the optimal amalgamation of an optimal cycle-cover
Let $G(V,E)$ be a complete symmetric graph with positive edge weights and let further $\mathcal{C}=\lbrace C_1,\,\cdots\,C_k\rbrace$ be the minimum-weight vertex-disjoint cycle cover.
The set $E$ of e …

Dual equivalence of minimum feedback-vertex sets and cycle packing
it is known that the duals of feedback-set problems are set-packing problems; in the context of digraphs the feedback set are either a minimal set of vertices or edges that hit every oriented cycle; t …

Worst case performance of heuristic for the non-Eulerian windy postman problem
The windy postman problem seeks the cheapest tour in a complete undirected graph, that traverses each edge at least once; the cost of traversing an edge is positive and may depend on the direction, in …

Algorithmic complexity of calculating maximum weight $k$-regular subgraphs
Question:
what is known about the complexity of calculating the heaviest $k$-regular subgraph of a weighted symmetric graph if edge-weights can also be negative?
Please note that in contrast to $k$- …

Name for generalization of trees to digraphs
One definition of tree in graph theory could be as follows:
A tree is a(n undirected) graph for which there is a unique (undirected) path between any pair of vertices.
This suggest a possible defini …

is it always possible to embed a complete, symmetric and metric graph $G$ with $n+1$ vertices isometrically in $\mathbb{R}^n$?
I'm convinced it must be true, but can't remember having seen …

Has this curious "duality" of weighted $K_4$ already been noticed?
A complete symmetric graph with $n=4$ vertices, i.e. a $K_4$ is the disjoint union of three perfect matchings $M_{\text{min}},M_{\text{mid}},M_{\text{max}}$ of which $M_{\text{min}}$ denotes the light …

Relation of minimum spanning trees to the shortest Hamiltonian path problem
Spanning trees can be decomposed into a minimal set of maximal path graphs, whose vertices have degree two exactly if they also have degree two in the spanning tree; lets call these paths tree paths.
