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.

Enumerate spanning trees

Contract $e_1$ and delete $e_2$. Say $G$ is the original graph and $H$ is the new graph. Now run the tree enumeration algorithm on $H$. After reversing the contraction, you get all the spanning trees …

Existence of disjoint expanders in a graph

Yes, and you can find many more than $\log n$ of them. Take an expander $G$ (for example a random cubic graph). Take $k$ copies, where $k=o(n^{1/2})$. Now randomly relabel each copy. The probability o …

What is graph canonisation?

Daniel's answer is imperfect in two respects. First, it defines a perfect hash function for graphs taking values in an arbitrary set, but a "canonical form" usually means more than that in the literat …

Enumerating all inequivalent planar embeddings of a planar graph

(Too long for a comment). Note that there are two different ways to define "all the embeddings" of a graph, both completely natural. I'll illustrate by example. Suppose a graph consists of two triangl …

Generating 12-vertex plane graphs with 2 faces of degree 3 and all other faces of degree 4

The conditions "max face = 4, 21 edges, 12 vertices" characterize them. So: plantri -pf4e21 12 -- 125 outputs (these are the 3-connected ones) plantri -pf4e21c2 12 -- 120857 outputs (these are the 2- …

6-regular bipartite graphs with no 8-cycles

I'm looking for simple 6-regular bipartite graphs with no 8-cycles, as small as possible. It doesn't matter if there are 4-cycles or 6-cycles, provided there are no 8-cycles. Such graphs must exist …

Can we calculate the spectral radius of the universal cover for specific graphs?

For the complete graph minus an edge $K_n-e$, the spectral radius is the largest zero of \begin{align*}&x^{14}+(30-10 n) x^{12}+(2 n^{3}+21 n^{2}-202 n +357) x^{10}\\ &+(-10 n^{4}+26 n^{3}+456 n^{2}-2 …

Non-isomorphic walk-regular graphs with the same number of closed walks at any length

You are asking for two non-isomorphic cospectral walk-regular graphs, presumably not vertex-transitive. The following two are examples. They are bipartite and 4-regular on 18 vertices. Both of them ha …

Eulerian trails in complete graphs

In Ref 1 we called these things semi-Eulerian circular designs or semi-Eulerian quasigroups. They exist for all odd $n\ge 7$. I'll state the problem again. Find an Eulerian circuit in $K_n$ which (co …

Product decomposition for finite graphs

If I understand it correctly, there is a counterexample on page 1518 of this paper. Then again, I might not have read it carefully enough.

Are "ultra-regular" bipartite graphs complete?

The complement of a matching generalises. Take $1<k<|X|$ and identify $Y$ with the $k$-subsets of $X$. Let $R(x)$ be the $k$-subsets containing $x$. Note that the automorphism group acts as the symmet …

Graph vertices selection for paths sum minimalization

Your description is unclear, so I'm guessing a bit. First, make a weighted complete graph $K$, where the weight of edge $ij$ is the distance in $G$ from $i$ to $j$. Now you want a minimum weight perfe …

Is there an algorithm to generate graphs with given order and diameter?

About 58% of the graphs on 12 vertices have diameter 3, so filtering a complete generation will be as fast as any. On 20 vertices the fraction has dropped to about 31% but the total is so vast that g …

Determining graph Isomorphism: combining invariants

There will be strongly-regular graphs of the same parameters with equal values of all those invariants. Since the parameters determine the eigenvalues, all the invariants determined by the spectrum (s …

Sufficient condition for a Hamilton cycle $C$ in a planar triangulation $G$ s.t. every trian...

Gunnar Brinkmann informs me that this paper constructs planar triangulations where every hamiltonian cycle misses all the edges of many triangles. Some of the examples are even 5-connected.
