Graphs that are Critical for the Packing Chromatic Number
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022 Given a graph G, a coloring c : V (G) → {1, …, k} such that c(u) = c(v) = i implies that vertices u and v are at distance greater than i, is called a packing coloring of G.

Minimally Strong Subgraph (k,ℓ)-Arc-Connected Digraphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2022 Let D = (V,A) be a digraph of order n, S a subset of V of size k and 2 ≤ k ≤ n. A subdigraph H of D is called an S-strong subgraph if H is strong and S ⊆ V (H). Two S-strong subgraphs D1 and D2 are said to be arc-disjoint if A(D1) ∩ A(D2) = ∅.

Three matching intersection property for matching covered graphs [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 In connection with Fulkerson's conjecture on cycle covers, Fan and Raspaud proposed a weaker conjecture: For every bridgeless cubic graph $G$, there are three perfect matchings $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$ such that $M_1\cap M_2 \cap M_3=\emptyset$.

On the Number of Disjoint 4-Cycles in Regular Tournaments
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2018 In this paper, we prove that for an integer r ≥ 1, every regular tournament T of degree 3r − 1 contains at least 2116r-103${{21} \over {16}}r - {{10} \over 3}$ disjoint directed 4-cycles. Our result is an improvement of Lichiardopol’s theorem when taking

Turán Function and H-Decomposition Problem for Gem Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2018 Given a graph H, the Turán function ex(n,H) is the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices not containing H as a subgraph. For two graphs G and H, an H-decomposition of G is a partition of the edge set of G such that each part is either a single

Decompositions of Cubic Traceable Graphs
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2020 A traceable graph is a graph with a Hamilton path. The 3-Decomposition Conjecture states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a 2-regular graph and a matching. We prove the conjecture for cubic traceable graphs.

Decomposing the Complete Graph Into Hamiltonian Paths (Cycles) and 3-Stars
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2020 Let H be a graph. A decomposition of H is a set of edge-disjoint subgraphs of H whose union is H. A Hamiltonian path (respectively, cycle) of H is a path (respectively, cycle) that contains every vertex of H exactly once.

A tight lower bound for the hardness of clutters
, 2017 A {\it clutter} (or {\it antichain} or {\it Sperner family}) $L$ is a pair $(V,E)$, where $V$ is a finite set and $E$ is a family of subsets of $V$ none of which is a subset of another.

, 1997 Let S_m denote the m-vertex simple digraph formed by m-1 edges with a common tail. Let f(m) denote the minimum n such that every n-vertex tournament has a spanning subgraph consisting of n/m disjoint copies of S_m. We prove that m lg m - m lg lg m

Covering a cubic graph with perfect matchings
, 2013 Let G be a bridgeless cubic graph. A well-known conjecture of Berge and Fulkerson can be stated as follows: there exist five perfect matchings of G such that each edge of G is contained in at least one of them.
