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.

Connectedness of the complements of the connected subsets

(B) does not hold for topological graphs. Let $X$ be the 1-skeleton of a tetrahedron, and let $S$ be a cycle of 4 edges. Then $X \setminus S$ is not connected.

Computing the number of ways to delete vertices sequentially without disconnecting a graph

Given a finite connected graph on $n$ vertices, we are trying to count the number of ways to label the vertices $1$ to $n$ so that deleting them sequentially in that order never disconnects the graph. …

A special class of regular languages: "circular" languages. Is it known?

For deciding whether a language is "circular", you can just take the normalized DFA for the language (where the states correspond to sets of possible different completions). In that normalized DFA, a …

Does this knot invariant distinguish trefoil chiralities?

I'm very curious where this came up. In any case, the answer to the first question is yes, it does distinguish these trefoils; you found the minimal representatives. Let $a_0,\dots,a_{N-1}$ be the r …

Is the following two-dimensional graph likely to be globally rigid?

jc's answer touches most of the bases. Let me just clear up a few points. You can, in fact, give concrete bounds on the probability a graph with vertices chosen from a finite grid will fail to be gen …
