A closed trail is called a circuit when it is specified in cyclic order but no first vertex is explicitly identified.

A Ramsey number of the form R(k,k;2).

Edge splitting is the reverse of edge contraction.

An elegant algorithm for constructing an Eulerian cycle (Skiena 1990, p. 193).

The problem of deciding if four colors are sufficient to color any map on a plane or sphere.

As shown by Schur (1916), the Schur number S(n) satisfies S(n)<=R(n)-2 for n=1, 2, ..., where R(n) is a Ramsey number.

The Parts graphs are a set of unit-distance graphs with chromatic number five derived by Jaan Parts in 2019-2020 (Parts 2020a). They provide some of the smallest known ...

The Königsberg bridge problem asks if the seven bridges of the city of Königsberg (left figure; Kraitchik 1942), formerly in Germany but now known as Kaliningrad and part of ...

The bound for the number of colors which are sufficient for map coloring on a surface of genus g, gamma(g)=|_1/2(7+sqrt(48g+1))_| is the best possible, where |_x_| is the ...

Given a map with genus g>0, Heawood showed in 1890 that the maximum number N_u of colors necessary to color a map (the chromatic number) on an unbounded surface is N_u = ...
