Problems in extremal graphs and poset theory

open access: gold, 2018
In this dissertation, we present three different research topics and results regarding such topics. We introduce partially ordered sets (posets) and study two types of problems concerning them-- forbidden subposet problems and induced-poset-saturation problems. We conclude by presenting results obtained from studying vertex-identifying codes in graphs.

Extremal Combinatorics in Geometry and Graph Theory

open access: green, 2013
We study a problem in extremal geometry posed by Paul Erdos and George Szekeres in 1935. This problem is to find the smallest positive integer N(n) such that every point set in general position (no three on a line) of N(n) points contains the vertex set of a convex n-gon.

Note on the temperature Sombor index

open access: yesVojnotehnički 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 symmetric division deg index of unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs with given matching number

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics, 2021
Nowadays, it is an important task to find extremal values on any molecular descriptor with respect to different graph parameters. In a molecular graph, the vertices represent the atoms and the edges represent the chemical bonds in the terms of graph ...

Reducing the maximum degree of a graph: comparisons of bounds

open access: yesTheory 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.

On the Boundary of Incidence Energy and Its Extremum Structure of Tricycle Graphs

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
With the wide application of graph theory in circuit layout, signal flow chart and power system, more and more attention has been paid to the network topology analysis method of graph theory.

Elusive extremal graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We study the uniqueness of optimal solutions to extremal graph theory problems. Lovasz conjectured that every finite feasible set of subgraph density constraints can be extended further by a finite set of density constraints so that the resulting set is ...

A note on the Ramsey numbers for theta graphs versus the wheel of order 5

open access: yesAKCE 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

open access: yesTheory 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.
