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.

Is there any vertex-transitive non-Cayley graph with 24 vertices and valency 5?

Yes, there is one, see this paper. You can fetch it from Gordon Royle's collection.

Reference Request: Graph Edge Density

For cycles of odd length, the only extremal graphs for large $n$ are complete bipartite graphs with the sides as equal as possible. For smaller $n$ there can be other extremal graphs. The complete sto …

Is there any digraph data set that gives all directed graphs satisfying certain requirements?

There are 154108311168 tournaments on 12 vertices and you can make them with the tool gentourng that comes with nauty. The number of connected digraphs on 10 vertices is more than 10^20, which is im …

Maximal acyclic subgraph

Arbitrarily label the vertices $1,\ldots,n$. Choose all edges $a\to b$ such that $b\gt a$. This is acyclic and exactly half the directed edges in the graph, which is obviously the best possible. If …

a necessary condition for a nonempty graph being a line graph

No. The graphs you define are called "quasi-line graphs" and are a larger class than line graphs. If you search for "quasi-line graph" you will find a lot of literature on them. The simplest counte …

Directed Minimal Cuts in a DAG

Take two full binary trees, one directed towards the root and one away from the root. Identify the leaves of the two trees, so that the two roots become the source and sink of a DAG. If the number of …

Are there 2-connected regular graphs whose maximum matching leaves 3 vertices uncovered?

Take an even number $r\ge 4$. Take $r$ copies of a 3-connected graph $G$ which has odd order and is regular of degree $r$. Add two new vertices $x$ and $y$. For each copy of $G$, remove one edge an …

Bound on the number of minimal vertex covers of a graph

The union of $k$ triangles has $3^k$ minimum vertex covers. You can easily find connected examples.

Genus of a graph

No. The two subgraphs can share the surface more efficiently than that. Take a graph $G$ with genus $g\ge 1$ and duplicate each edge. If you don't like double edges, subdivide them with new vertices …

Looking for monochromatic cycles in an edge-coloured clique

A lot of data regarding specific instances of this problem can be found in Radziszowski's survey, see the part "survey" starting on page 36.

Degree of faces in a regular graph

It makes a huge difference what restrictions are imposed. Without any restriction on connectivity or edge type, you can put every edge on a single face (a path of double edges with a loop at each end …

What graph invariants are fast to compute?

Maybe there is a problem with processing of digraphs in sage. nauty takes 0.07 seconds to canonically label each of the graphs $(17;1,3)$ and $(17;3,1)$. They are indeed isomorphic. This translates t …

Question about the balance of a signed graph construction

The only connected graphs whose balance is independent of the edge ordering are trees and polygons. Obviously trees have this property. A connected graph which is neither a tree nor a polygon contai …

What graph parameters are determined by parameters for strongly regular graph

The number of cycles of length 3,4,5 are determined. If the girth is 4, the number of 6-cycles is determined too.
