Decomposing tournaments into paths
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 121, Issue 2, Page 426-461, August 2020., 2020 Abstract We consider a generalisation of Kelly's conjecture which is due to Alspach, Mason, and Pullman from 1976. Kelly's conjecture states that every regular tournament has an edge decomposition into Hamilton cycles, and this was proved by Kühn and Osthus for large tournaments. The conjecture of Alspach, Mason, and Pullman asks for the minimum number

On Hamiltonian Cycles in Claw-Free Cubic Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022 We show that every claw-free cubic graph of order n at least 8 has at most 2⌊n4⌋{2^{\left\lfloor {{n \over 4}} \right\rfloor }} Hamiltonian cycles, and we also characterize all extremal graphs.

The Existence of Path-Factor Covered Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2023 A spanning subgraph H of a graph G is called a P≥k-factor of G if every component of H is isomorphic to a path of order at least k, where k ≥ 2. A graph G is called a P≥k-factor covered graph if there is a P≥k-factor of G covering e for any e ∈ E(G).

Equimatchable Bipartite Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2023 A graph is called equimatchable if all of its maximal matchings have the same size. Lesk et al. [Equi-matchable graphs, Graph Theory and Combinatorics (Academic Press, London, 1984) 239–254] has provided a characterization of equimatchable bipartite ...

Some Results on Path-Factor Critical Avoidable Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2023 A path factor is a spanning subgraph F of G such that every component of F is a path with at least two vertices. We write P≥k = {Pi : i ≥ k}. Then a P≥k-factor of G means a path factor in which every component admits at least k vertices, where k ≥ 2 is ...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2020 If S = (a1, a2, . . .) is a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers, then an S-packing coloring of a graph G is a partition of V (G) into sets X1, X2, . . .

Strong edge geodetic problem in networks
Open Mathematics, 2017 Geodesic covering problems form a widely researched topic in graph theory. One such problem is geodetic problem introduced by Harary et al. [Math. Comput. Modelling, 1993, 17, 89-95].

The matching polynomial of a distance‐regular graph
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 89-97, 2000., 2000 A distance‐regular graph of diameter d has 2d intersection numbers that determine many properties of graph (e.g., its spectrum). We show that the first six coefficients of the matching polynomial of a distance‐regular graph can also be determined from its intersection array, and that this is the maximum number of coefficients so determined.

Further new results on strong resolving partitions for graphs
Open Mathematics, 2020 A set W of vertices of a connected graph G strongly resolves two different vertices x, y ∉ W if either d G(x, W) = d G(x, y) + d G(y, W) or d G(y, W) = d G(y, x) + d
