Three conjectures in extremal spectral graph theory
Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B, 2017 We prove three conjectures regarding the maximization of spectral invariants over certain families of graphs. Our most difficult result is that the join of $P_2$ and $P_{n-2}$ is the unique graph of maximum spectral radius over all planar graphs. This was conjectured by Boots and Royle in 1991 and independently by Cao and Vince in 1993.

Note on the temperature Sombor index
Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 2023 Introduction/purpose: The temperature of a vertex of a graph of the order n is defined as d/(n-d), where d is the vertex degree. The temperature variant of the Sombor index is investigated and several of its properties established. Methods: Combinatorial

On some interconnections between combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2004 The uniting feature of combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory is that in both areas one should find extrema of a function defined in most cases on a finite set.

Guessing Numbers and Extremal Graph Theory
The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2022 For a given number of colors, $s$, the guessing number of a graph is the (base $s$) logarithm of the cardinality of the largest family of colorings of the vertex set of the graph such that the color of each vertex can be determined from the colors of the vertices in its neighborhood.

Reducing the maximum degree of a graph: comparisons of bounds
Theory and Applications of Graphs, 2021 Let $\lambda(G)$ be the smallest number of vertices that can be removed from a non-empty graph $G$ so that the resulting graph has a smaller maximum degree.

A note on the Ramsey numbers for theta graphs versus the wheel of order 5
AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2018 The study of exact values and bounds on the Ramsey numbers of graphs forms an important family of problems in the extremal graph theory. For a set of graphs S and a graph F , the Ramsey number R (S , F) is the smallest positive integer r such that for ...

Triangles in Ks-saturated graphs with minimum degree t
Theory and Applications of Graphs, 2020 For $n \geq 15$, we prove that the minimum number of triangles in an $n$-vertex $K_4$-saturated graph with minimum degree 4 is exactly $2n-4$, and that there is a unique extremal graph.

On the VC-dimension, covering and separating properties of the cycle and spanning tree hypergraphs of graphs [PDF]
Transactions on Combinatorics, 2022 In this paper, we delve into studying some relations between the structure of the cycles and spanning trees of a graph through the lens of its cycle and spanning tree hypergraphs which are hypergraphs with the edge set of the graph as their vertices ...
