ABSTRACT We prove that the Ramsey number R ( 5 , 5 ) is less than or equal to 46. The proof uses a combination of linear programming and checking a large number of cases by computer. All of the computational parts of the proof were independently implemented by both authors, with consistent results.

Planar graph coloring avoiding monochromatic subgraphs: trees and paths make things difficult [PDF]
We consider the problem of coloring a planar graph with the minimum number of colors such that each color class avoids one or more forbidden graphs as subgraphs.

Towards Characterization of Five‐List‐Colorability of Toroidal Graphs
ABSTRACT Through computer‐assisted enumeration, we list minimal obstructions for 5‐choosability of graphs on the torus with the following additional property: There exists a cyclic system of non‐contractible triangles around the torus where the consecutive triangles are at distance at most four.

Forbidden Subgraphs and Complete Partitions
A graph is called an $(r,k)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $r$ parts, each having at most $k$ vertices and there is at least one edge between any two parts. Let $f(r,H)$ be the minimum $k$ for which there exists an $H$-free $(r,k)$-graph.

Ramsey-type Theorems with Forbidden Subgraphs [PDF]
P. Erdős and A. Hajnal conjectured that for every finite graph \(H\) every \(H\)-free graph on \(n\) vertices contains a complete or empty subgraph of size \(n^{\varepsilon(H)}\). It is shown that if the conjecture holds for \(H_1\), \(H_2\) then it holds for the graph which is \(H_1\) with one vertex blown up to a copy of \(H_2\).

Some Variations of Perfect Graphs
We consider (ψk−γk−1)-perfect graphs, i.e., graphs G for which ψk(H) = γk−1(H) for any induced subgraph H of G, where ψk and γk−1 are the k-path vertex cover number and the distance (k − 1)-domination number, respectively.

Graph Classes Generated by Mycielskians
In this paper we use the classical notion of weak Mycielskian M′(G) of a graph G and the following sequence: M′0(G) = G, M′1(G) = M′(G), and M′n(G) = M′(M′n−1(G)), to show that if G is a complete graph of order p, then the above sequence is a generator ...

Induced subgraphs with large degrees at end-vertices for hamiltonicity of claw-free graphs
A graph is called \emph{claw-free} if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_{1,3}$. Matthews and Sumner proved that a 2-connected claw-free graph $G$ is hamiltonian if every vertex of it has degree at least $(|V(G)|-2)/3$. At the workshop C\&C

Treewidth Versus Clique Number. V. Further Connections With Tree‐Independence Number
ABSTRACT We continue the study of ( tw , ω )‐bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in which large treewidth is witnessed by the presence of a large clique, and the relation of this property to boundedness of the tree‐independence number, a graph parameter introduced independently by Yolov in 2018 and by Dallard, Milanič, and Štorgel ...

A class G of graphs is called hereditary if it is closed under taking induced subgraphs. We denote by G^{apex} the class of graphs G that contain a vertex v such that G − v is in G.
