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.

Name of an inductively defined sequence of graphs
It's not quite the same question, but the graphs that can be obtained by repeating either of the two operations (add a disjoint vertex or a dominating vertex), not necessarily in strict alternation, a …

An introductory text on expanders
Elementary Number Theory, Group Theory and Ramanujan Graphs (Giuliana Davidoff, Peter Sarnak, and Alain Valette, 2003) is intended to make the construction of expander graphs accessible to advanced un …

Acyclic proper coloring of 2-degenerate graphs
It is not true.
Let $G$ be a graph consisting of an independent set $I=\{v_1,v_2,v_3,v_4\}$ (blue below) and 18 additional vertices $u_{i,j}$, $u'_{i,j}$, and $u''_{i,j}$ where $i\ne j$ and each of th …

Tree-width of graphs in which any two cycles touch
This is not a complete answer but it suggests that you have not made your statement strong enough: Your condition that all cycles touch means that the set of all cycles forms a bramble. By the charact …

How to generating all flats of the cycle matroid of a graph?
Give the edges of the graph distinct weights. Then the flats are in 1-1 correspondence with the minimal forests, where a forest is defined to be minimal if no other lower-weight forest spans the same …

Spatial dimension of a finite graph
If $s$ obeys $k_{n-1}<s$, where $k_n$ is the kissing number of $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, then the star $K_{1,s}$ has dimension at least $n$. For instance, $K_{1,7}$ has dimension 3.

Vertex cover number vs matching number
The value is 2. (This is the integrality gap of the LP relaxation of vertex cover. See Frankl–Rödl graph on Wikipedia for a graph for which the integrality gap of the SDP relaxation is still 2.)

Is there a standard name for this type of multidigraph?
I haven't seen the multigraph version, but non-multi directed graphs with at most one outgoing neighbor per vertex have been called directed pseudoforests, and with exactly one outgoing neighbor they …

Crossing number of some Sphere of Influence Graphs and relation to their coloring number
In a Euclidean space of any dimension, for a system of balls no center of which is interior to another ball, each ball can only be touched by $O(1)$ larger balls. This is a special case of Lemma 3.6 o …

Is the nth-power-sum graph connected?
By going from $x$ to $a^n-x$ to $b^n-(a^n-x)$ we can, in two steps, add or subtract any difference of $n$th powers. In four steps, we can add or subtract any difference of differences (a second-order …

Minimizing maximum distance by adding shortcuts in grid graph
It's not hard to bound the new distance to within a constant factor, as a function of $k$. If you add $k$ shortcut edges to an $n\times n$ grid, the number of points within distance $d$ of an endpoint …

Finding Optimal Vertex Weights without Linear Programing
See my recent paper "Maximizing the sum of radii of disjoint balls or disks", J. Computational Geometry 8 (1): 316–339, 2017, http://doi.org/10.20382/jocg.v8i1a12, on problems like this. It is the dua …

Induced monochromatic subtree in a graph which is colored by two colors
Every connected $n$-vertex graph with $O(n)$ edges has an induced tree of size $2\log\log n+O(\log\log\log n)$ (I guess the constants in the $O$'s depend on each other); see
P. Erdős, M. Saks, and V. …

Number Associated with Straight-line Drawings of Hamiltonian Graphs
It is known that the number of non-crossing spanning cycles (called "simple polygonalizations") of $n$ points in the plane can be as low as $1$ (for points in convex position) and as high as $4.64^n$, …

Finding the farthest point from a set of other points
The problem of choosing a sequence of nodes in a graph in which each is approximately as far as possible from the previously chosen ones was considered in my preprint with Har-Peled and Sidiropoulos, …
