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.

Graph with finite chromatic number but infinite total chromatic number

Yes there is: consider the complete bipartite graph $K_{\omega,\omega}$, which has chromatic number 2, but every total coloring requires infinitely many colors.

Sizes of maximum matchings in a finite, simple, undirected graph

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, undirected graph. We say that a matching $M\subseteq E$ is a maximum matching if for all $e\in (E\setminus M)$ the set $M\cup\{e\}$ is not a matching any more. Maxi …

"Nice" and "nasty" partitions in graphs

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple, undirected graph, that is $V$ is a set and $E \subseteq [V]^2 = \{\{v,w\}: v,w \in V \land v\neq w\}$. For $v\in V$ and $S\subseteq V$ we set $$N(v,S) = \{w\in S: \{v,w\} \ …

Maximum and minimum diameter of categorical graph product

Let $G_i$ be connected finite simple undirected graphs with diameter $d_i$ for $i=1,2$. Assume that $G_1\times G_2$ is connected. (Here $G_1\times G_2$ denotes the categorical product.) In terms of $ …

Different graphs with the same open neighborhood hypergraph

For any set $X$ we let $[X]^2 = \big\{\{x,y\}: x\neq y \in X\big\}$. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple, undirected graph. Its open neighborhood hypergraph $\mathcal{H}(G)$ has the same vertex set $V$ with a …

Graphs such that contracting an edge decreases the chromatic number [closed]

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a finite, simple, undirected, connected graph, such that contracting an edge reduces the chromatic number. Does this imply that $G$ is complete?

Cycle-intersecting subsets

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, undirected graph. We call $D\subseteq V$ cycle-intersecting if for every simple cycle $C\subseteq V$ we have $C\cap D \neq \emptyset$. Is there a graph $G$ such tha …

Tree-chromatic number and Hadwiger number

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, undirected graph. For any set $X$ we set $[X]^2 := \big\{\{x,y\}: x\neq y \in X\big\}$. If $T$ is a tree, then a map $W: V(T)\to {\cal P}(V(G))$ is called a tree-dec …

Degrees and common neighbors

For any simple, finite, undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and $v\in V$ let $N(v) = \{w\in V:\{v,w\}\in E\}$. Suppose $G, H$ are finite, simple, undirected graphs and there is a bijection between the vertex …

Infinite graphs with number of common neighbors given for each pair of vertices

This is a follow-up to this question. For any set $X$ we set $[X]^2 = \big\{\{x,y\}: x\neq y \in X\big\}$. If $G=(V,E)$ is a simple undirected graph, and $v\in V$, we set $N(v) = \{w\in V:\{v,w\}\in …

Is there a countable connected graph $G=(\omega, E)$ such that $\text{deg}(v)=\omega$ for all $v\in\omega$, but there is no Hamiltonian path in $G$?

Connected homogeneous graphs [closed]

Let's call a simple, undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ homogeneous if for every $v,w\in V$ there is a graph isomorphism $\varphi:G\to G$ such that $\varphi(v)=w$. It is clear that every finite homogeneous g …

Total chromatic number and total clique number

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, unconnected graph. We define the total graph $T(G)$ of $G$ as follows: $V(T(G)) = (V\times\{0\}) \cup (E\times\{1\})$, $E(T(G)) = E_v \cup E_e \cup E_{v+e}$, where …

Hadwiger number of total graph

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, undirected graph, and let $T(G)$ be its total graph. The Hadwiger number $\eta(G)$ is the maximum $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $K_n$ is a minor of $G$. Is there an ex …
