The size of a minimum edge cover in a graph G is known as the edge cover number of G, denoted rho(G). If a graph G has no isolated points, then nu(G)+rho(G)=|G|, where nu(G) ...

The Faulkner-Younger graphs (Faulkner and Younger 1974) are the cubic polyhedral nonhamiltonian graphs on 42 and 44 vertices illustrated above that are counterexamples to ...

An edge of a graph is said to be pendant if one of its vertices is a pendant vertex.

A vertex of a graph is said to be pendant if its neighborhood contains exactly one vertex.

A member of a collection of sets is said to be maximal if it cannot be expanded to another member by addition of any element. Maximal sets are important in graph theory since ...

A search algorithm of a tree that explores the first child of a node before visiting its siblings. Tarjan (1972) and Hopcroft and Tarjan (1973) showed that depth-first search ...

A matching, also called an independent edge set, on a graph G is a set of edges of G such that no two sets share a vertex in common. It is not possible for a matching on a ...

De Grey (2018) found the first examples of unit-distance graphs with chromatic number 5, thus demonstrating that the solution to the Hadwiger-Nelson problem (i.e., the ...

If the rank polynomial R(x,y) of a graph G is given by sumrho_(rs)x^ry^s, then rho_(rs) is the number of subgraphs of G with rank r and co-rank s, and the matrix (rho_(rs)) ...

An algorithm which can be used to find a good, but not necessarily minimal, edge or vertex coloring for a graph. However, the algorithm does minimally color complete ...
