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.

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 …

Hamiltonian paths in the prime sum graph

The following is a generalization of this old question . Let $n\ge 2$, $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. For which distinct $a,b\in[n]$ is it possible to list $[n]$ in some order $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ such that $x_1=a …

Existence of regular factors in dense graphs

All graphs here are finite and simple. A $d$-factor of a graph is a spanning regular subgraph of degree $d$. Where can I find theorems of this nature, for constants $a,b,c\gt 0$: If $G$ is a graph w …

A simple requirement for a degree sequence to be graphical

The following theorem about the degree sequences of finite simple graphs is quite easy to prove from the Erdos-Gallai theorem. Let $0 \lt \alpha \le \beta \lt n$ be integers. Call $(\alpha,\beta,n …

Measurable maximal independent set in infinite graph of bounded degree

We have a graph $G$. The vertices of $G$ are a measurable subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ for some $n$. The degree of each vertex is bounded by some absolute finite constant $K$. Q1. Does $G$ have a maxim …

Maximal subgroups of a certain finite 2-group

The following came up in a problem on reconstruction of digraphs. I determined enough about the answer to satisfy the application completely, but still I am curious to know what the complete solution …

Complexity of equitable partitions

We are talking about undirected simple graphs and partitions of their vertex sets into disjoint non-empty cells. Such a partition is equitable if for any two vertices $v,w$ in the same cell, and any …

Spanning trees of plane graphs containing an edge of every face

I feel sure this must be known, but can I find it?? Which connected plane graphs (graphs drawn in the plane without crossings) have a spanning tree such that at least one edge of each face is in the …

Largest graphs of girth at least 6

Let $e_6(n)$ be the greatest number of edges in a simple graph with $n$ vertices and girth at least 6. Let $G_6(n)$ be the set of simple graphs of order $n$ with girth at least 6 and $e_6(n)$ edges. …

Digraph weak connectivity in $O(V)$ space and $O(V+E)$ time

A digraph is called weakly connected if its underlying undirected graph is connected. You are given a digraph $G$ with $V$ vertices and $E$ edges as a read-only data structure consisting of lists of …

Counting labelled graphs according to sets of size 3

In this question we are counting labelled simple graphs. No concept of isomorphism is involved. Let $G(n,e,t)$ be the number of labelled simple graphs with $n$ vertices, $e$ edges, and $t$ sets of th …

Reconstructing a function from its variants that negate one argument

Call two functions $g(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ and $h(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ from complex numbers to complex numbers equivalent if they are the same up to the order of their arguments. Formally: there is a permuta …

How many n/2-cycles can a cubic graph have

Given a simple cubic graph with $n$ vertices (which implies that $n$ is even), what is a good upper bound on the number of cycles of length $n/2$ it can have? A random cubic graph has $\Theta((4/3)^n …

How quickly can we test if a graph is distance-regular?

A (simple, finite, connected) graph $G$ is distance regular if there exist integers $b_i,c_i,i=0,...,D$ such that for any two vertices $x,y$ in $G$ and distance $i=d(x,y)$, there are exactly $c_i$ nei …
