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.

When does graph minor containment imply subgraph containment?

Consider a path of length 3. Any graph G which contains this graph as a minor must also contain it as a subgraph. For paths of any length this is easy to prove. In general this happens for any graph …

Finding a subgraph with slightly large size in planar graphs

I remember thinking about this a while ago, and stopped because it seemed unlikely that $log^2 n$ paths can be found in polynomial time. This was my argument, if I remember correctly. The best know …
