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.

What kind of graph has more edges than its line graph?

The definition of a line graph is as follows: Given a graph $G$, its line graph $L(G)$ is a graph such that each vertex of $L(G)$ represents an edge of $G$. two vertices of $L(G)$ are adjacent if an …

If $G$ and $H$ are $k$-critical, then applying Hajós construction to $G$ and $H$ makes $k$-c...

Here is the definition of Hajós construction. Let $G$ and $H$ be two undirected graphs, $vw$ be an edge of $G$, and $xy$ be an edge of $H$. Then the Hajós construction forms a new graph that combines …

Pseudo-replication of a vertex in a perfect graph

Definition of 'replication of $v$' is Suppose $v \in V(G)$. Replication of $v$ is constructing $G'$ by adding a new vertex $v'$ such that $N_{G'}(v')=N_G(v) \cup \{v\}$. And the following statement …

The lower bound of number of vertices covered by maximum matching in $3$-regular graph

Let $G$ be a $3$-regular graph (cubic graph) with order $n$. From here, the lower bound of # of vertices covered by maximum matching in $G$ is $\frac{3}{4}n$. And from here, the lower bound is $\frac{ …

An equitable edge-coloring of bipartite graphs

In this book (I found it from other references, and it was a nice book to study.), there is an exercise that proving the following two statements. Every graph $G$ with $m$ edges and maximum degree $k …

If the girth of a $2k$-regular graph $G$ is larger than the diameter of a tree $T$ with $k$ ...

I want to prove that ‘If the girth of a $2k$-regular graph $G$ is larger than the diameter of a $k$-edge tree $T$, then $G$ is covered by edge-disjoint copies of $T$.’ I tried several ways to solve th …

Two independent spanning trees of $2$-connected graph

Let's use a new concept oriented path in a cycle $C$ or an open ear $P_k$. In $C$: Label the vertices in $C$ in clockwise direction by $u,v_1,\cdots,v_n$. Then the clockwise-oriented path of $C$ ($c_ …

Two independent spanning trees of $2$-connected graph

I want to prove the following statement: Let $u$ be a vertex in a $2$-connected graph $G$. Then $G$ has two spanning trees such that for every vertex $v$, the $u,v$-paths in the trees are independent …

$K_{k,m}$ is $k$-choosable if and only if $m<k^k$

This statement is proved by Vizing and Erdos & Rubin (page 30) independently. But I cannot find Vizing's paper (It's too old) and Erdos & Rubin's paper only says 'It is easily proved'. I think it is …

Proving $R(n_1+1,n_2+1,\cdots,n_k+1) \leq{n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_k \choose n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_k}$

The following statement is a well-known lemma of Ramsey number. $$R(m+1,n+1) \leq {m+n \choose m}$$ Now, I want to prove the improvement of the above statement: $$R(n_1+1,n_2+1,\cdots,n_k+1) \leq{n_1+ …

Connectivity and the minimum degree of bipartite graph

I want to find a condition on $\delta(G)$ (ex. $\delta(G) \geq an$) that guarantees $\kappa(G)=\delta(G)$ where $\kappa(G)$ is the vertex-connectivity of a bipartite graph $G$, and $\delta(G)$ is the …

Does every $4$-connected nonplanar graph contain a $K_5$-minor?

By Kuratowski's theorem, every nonplanar graph contains a (topological) minor of $K_5$ or $K_{3,3}$. But I observed that every time I construct a $4$-connected nonplanar graph, it always contains not …

Maximum number of leaf blocks in 3-regular (cubic) graph

The definition of block is Block of $G$ is a maximal subgraph $G'$ of $G$ with no cut vertex of $G'$ itself. Of course, there can exist many blocks in $G$. In particular, isolated vertices, edges in …
