Abstract

For a planar graph $G = (V, E)$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^2$, let $\mathcal{F}(G)$ denote the set of faces of $G$. Then $G$ is called a \textit{$C_n$-face-magic} graph if there exists a bijection $f: V(G) \to \{1, 2, \dots, |V(G)|\}$ such that for any $F \in \mathcal{F}(G)$ with $F \cong C_n$, the sum of all the vertex labels along $C_n$ is a constant $c$. In this paper, we prove that all polyominoes are $C_4$-face-magic.

A subquadratic bound for generalized Tur\'an numbers of odd cycles

For a graph $H$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal F$, let $\text{ex}(n,H,\mathcal F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $\mathcal F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. For every integer $i\ge 3$, let $C_i$ denote the cycle of length $i$. For $r\ge 3$, set $\mathscr {C}_r=\{C_3,C_4,\ldots,C_r\},$ and set $\mathsc...

The Erd\H{o}s four-edge intersection problem

For an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and a permutation $\sigma$ of its vertex set, let $\sigma(G)$ denote the corresponding relabelling of $G$, and put \[ I_G(\sigma)=|E(G)\cap E(\sigma(G))|. \] Let $f(n,k)$ be the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph for which $I_G(\sigma)\geq k$ for every $\sigma$. In 1977 Erd\H{o}s...

$(2,\mathcal{F})$-Avoiding Coloring and B-Coloring under Bipartite Exclusions

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a nonempty family of connected bipartite graphs, each with at least two edges. For a graph $G$, a proper vertex coloring of $G$ is $(2,\mathcal{F})$-avoiding if no member of $\mathcal{F}$ occurs bichromatically, and $\chi_{2,\mathcal{F}}(G)$ denotes the minimum number of colors in such a coloring....

Counting cographs in locally dense graphs

An $n$-vertex graph $G$ is $(\rho, d)$-dense if for all $U \subseteq V(G)$ of size at least $\rho n$, the induced subgraph $G[U]$ contains at least $\frac{d}{2}|U|^2$ edges. In 2010, partly motivated by the theory of quasirandomness, Kohayakawa, Nagle, R\"{o}dl, and Schacht conjectured that, for any fixed graph $F$, th...

On a conjecture concerning antipodal labelings for cycles

Let $G$ denote a finite, connected, simple graph, and let $D$ denote its diameter, and let $d_{G}(u, v)$ denote the distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $V(G)$. An antipodal labeling of $G$ is a mapping $f\colon V(G) \to \mathbb{N}_{0}$ such that, for each pair $(u, v)$ consisting of distinct vertices in $V(G)$, th...

Edge and spectral conditions for rainbow pancyclicity in graph collections

Let $\mathbf{G}=\{G_1,\dots,G_{n}\}$ be a collection of not necessarily distinct $n$-vertex graphs with a common vertex set $V$. A cycle $C$ with $V(C)\subseteq V$ and $|E(C)|\leq n$ is called \emph{rainbow} in $\mathbf{G}$, if there exists an injection $\phi\colon E(C)\to [n]$ such that $e\in E(G_{\phi(e)})$ for each...
