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.

maximum independent set in d-regular graphs

Does anyone know whether the maximum independent set problem is NP-hard in triangle free d-regular graphs and if it's NP-hard for all d larger than some threshold t? Can anyone provide a reference als …

Some confusion regarding the definition of NPO reduction

I've seen the following definition in a paper on approximation preserving reductions. Definition:Let $\pi_{1}$ and $\pi_{2}$ be two NPO maximization problems. Then we say that $\pi_{1} \leq_{R} \pi_{ …

Sparse graphs that are hard to color

I am interested in knowing if there are any types of graphs that are very sparse, perhaps consisting of just connections between paths and cycles, and for which $k$-coloring is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard for …

An interesting variant on the maximum independent set problem.

Suppose i have a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V|=n$. Furthermore suppose i give you a maximum independent set $\mathcal{I}$ in $G$. Now suppose i obtain a new graph $G'$ from $G$ by removing a single vertex …
