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.

Counting tournaments with ties

An improper tournament, or tournament with ties, is a graph in which every pair of nodes is connected by a single uniquely directed edge or by a single undirected edge. There are 1, 2, and 7 improper …

The diameter of a certain graph on the positive integers

Let $G(n)$ be the graph whose vertices are the positive integers $1,2,3,4, \ldots, n$ two of which are joined by an edge if their sum is a square. Is the diameter of this graph 4 for all sufficiently …

Graphs determined by sets of consecutive integers

Given a set of positive integers, its P-graph is the graph whose vertex set consists of those integers, two of which are joined by an edge if they have a common divisor greater than 1, that is, they a …

A labelling of the vertices of the Petersen graph with integers

The vertices of the Petersen graph (or any other simple graph) can be labelled in infinitely many ways with positive integers so that two vertices are joined by an edge if, and only if, the correspond …

Least number of vertices in a graph with which one can uniquely recover some partition of N

Given a partition of an integer $N$, its $P$-graph is the graph whose vertices are its parts, two of which are joined by an edge if and only if they have a common divisor greater than one (i.e. they a …

Graceful graphs all of whose vertices are labelled with primes or squares

Do graceful graphs exist with more than any arbitrarily large number of vertices, all of which are labelled with a prime or non-negative square number. Recall that a graceful graph is a graph with m …

Ramsey's number R(4,4) with arithmetic progressions

Can 17 positive integers in arithmetic progression be found such that that no four of them have, pairwise, a common divisor greater than 1, but, likewise, no four of them are, pairwise, relatively pri …

Least number of vertices in a graph with which one can uniquely recover some partition of N

Freddy Barrera has shown that $k(1000)>5$ by verifying that every graph with fewer than 6 vertices (other than the singleton) is the P-graph of at least two partitions of 1000. On the other hand, from …

Is the divisibility graph of the proper divisors of n more often planar than not?

Define the divisibility graph of a set of positive integers as the graph whose vertices are the integers, two of which are joined by an edge if one divides the other. For all N, is it true that intege …
