Let p be a prime number. Let G = Γ(R) be a ring graph, i.e. the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring R. For an induced subgraph H of G, let CG(H) = {z ∈ V(G) ∣N(z) = V(H)}. Assume that in the graph G there exists an induced subgraph H which is isomorphic to the complete graph Kp-1, a vertex c ∈ CG(H), and a vertex z such that d(c, z) = 3. In this paper, we characterize the finite commutative rings R whose graphs G = Γ(R) have this property (called condition (Kp)).

International audience A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be $\textit{magic}$ if there exists an integer labeling $f: V \cup E \to [1, |V \cup E|]$ such that $f(x)+f(y)+f(xy)$ is constant for all edges $xy \in E$. Enomoto, Masuda and Nakamigawa proved that there are magic graphs of order at most $3n^2+o(n^2)$ which contain a complete graph of order $n$. Bounds on Sidon sets show that the order of such a graph is at least $n^2+o(n^2)$. We close the gap between those two bounds by showing that, for any given graph $H$ of order $n$, there are connected magic graphs of order $n^2+o(n^2)$ containing $H$ as an induced subgraph. Moreover it can be required that the graph admits a supermagic labelling $f$, which satisfies the additional condition $f(V)=[1,|V|]$.

In this paper we introduce and study the spectrum graph of a commutative ring R, denoted by 𝔸𝔾s(R), that is, the graph whose vertices are all non-zero prime ideals of R with non-zero annihilator and two distinct vertices P1, P2 are adjacent if and only if P1P2 = (0). This is an induced subgraph of the annihilating-ideal graph 𝔸𝔾(R) of R. Among other results, we present the structures of all graphs which can be realized as the spectrum graph of a commutative ring. Then we show that for a non-domain Noetherian ring R, 𝔸𝔾s(R), is a connected graph if and only if 𝔸𝔾s(R) is a star graph if and only if 𝔸𝔾s(R) ≅ K1, K2 or K1,∞, where Kn is a complete graph with n vertices and K1,∞ is a star graph with infinite vertices. Also, we completely characterize the spectrum graphs of Artinian rings. Finally, as an application, we present some relationships between the annihilating-ideal graph and its spectrum subgraph.

The aim of this note is to advance the refining of the Erdős-Kelly result on graphical inducing regularization. The operation of inducing regulation (on graphs or multigraphs) with prescribed maximum vertex degree is originated by D. König in 1916. As is shown by Chartrand and Lesniak in their textbook Graphs & Digraphs (1996), an iterated construction for graphs can result in a regularization with many new vertices. Erdős and Kelly have presented (1963, 1967) a simple and elegant numerical method of determining for any simple \(n\)-vertex graph \(G\) with maximum vertex degree \(\Delta\), the exact minimum number, say \(\theta =\theta(G)\), of new vertices in a \(\Delta\)-regular graph \(H\) which includes \(G\) as an induced subgraph. The number \(\theta(G)\), which we call the cost of regulation of \(G\), has been upper-bounded by the order of \(G\), the bound being attained for each \(n\ge4\), e.g. then the edge-deleted complete graph \(K_n-e\) has \(\theta=n\). For \(n\ge 4\), we present all factors of \(K_n\) with \(\theta=n\) and next \(\theta=n-1\). Therein in case \(\theta=n-1\) and \(n\) odd only, we show that a specific extra structure, non-matching, is required.

[Ramsey's Theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey%27s_theorem) is one of the most prominent results in graph theory. In its simplest form, it asserts that every sufficiently large two-edge-colored complete graph contains a large monochromatic complete subgraph. This theorem has been generalized to a plethora of statements asserting that every sufficiently large structure of a given kind contains a large "tame" substructure. The article concerns a closely related problem: for a structure with a given property, find a substructure possessing an even stronger property. For example, what is the largest $K_3$-free induced subgraph of an $n$-vertex $K_4$-free graph? The answer to this question is approximately $n^{1/2}$. The lower bound is easy. If a given graph has a vertex of degree at least $n^{1/2}$, then its neighbors induce a $K_3$-free subgraph with at least $n^{1/2}$ vertices. Otherwise, a greedy procedure yields an independent set of size almost $n^{1/2}$. The argument generalizes to $K_s$-free induced subgraphs of $K_{s+1}$-free graphs. Dudek, Retter and Rödl provided a construction showing that the exponent $1/2$ cannot be improved and asked whether the same is the case for $K_s$-free induced subgraphs of $K_{s+2}$-free graphs. The authors answer this question by providing a construction of $K_{s+2}$-free $n$-vertex graphs with no $K_s$-free induced subgraph with $n^{\alpha_s}$ vertices with $\alpha_s<1/2$ for every $s\ge 3$. Their arguments extend to the case of $K_t$-free graphs with no large $K_s$-free induced subgraph for $s+2\le t\le 2s-1$ and $s\ge 3$.

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

The signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix for a simple connected graph G is defined as RQ(G)=diag(RH(G))+RD(G). Here, RD(G) is the Harary matrix (also called reciprocal distance matrix) while diag(RH(G)) represents the diagonal matrix of the total reciprocal distance vertices. In the present work, some upper and lower bounds for the second-largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix of graphs in terms of various graph parameters are investigated. Besides, all graphs attaining these new bounds are characterized. Additionally, it is inferred that among all connected graphs with n vertices, the complete graph Kn and the graph Kn−e obtained from Kn by deleting an edge e have the maximum second-largest signless Laplacian reciprocal distance eigenvalue.

AbstractMotivated by several conjectures due to Nikoghosyan, in a recent article due to Li et al., the aim was to characterize all possible graphs H such that every 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian. The almost complete answer was given there by the conclusion that every proper induced subgraph H of $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 can act as a forbidden subgraph to ensure that every 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian, and that there is no other forbidden subgraph with this property, except possibly for the graph $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 itself. The hamiltonicity of 1-tough $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 -free graphs, as conjectured by Nikoghosyan, was left there as an open case. In this paper, we consider the stronger property of pancyclicity under the same condition. We find that the results are completely analogous to the hamiltonian case: every graph H such that any 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian also ensures that every 1-tough H-free graph is pancyclic, except for a few specific classes of graphs. Moreover, there is no other forbidden subgraph having this property. With respect to the open case for hamiltonicity of 1-tough $$K_1\cup P_4$$ K 1 ∪ P 4 -free graphs we give infinite families of graphs that are not pancyclic.

Abstract We prove Turán-type theorems for two related Ramsey problems raised by Bollobás and by Fox and Sudakov. First, for t ≥ 3, we show that any two-colouring of the complete graph on n vertices that is δ-far from being monochromatic contains an unavoidable t-colouring when δ ≫ n−1/t, where an unavoidable t-colouring is any two-colouring of a clique of order 2t in which one colour forms either a clique of order t or two disjoint cliques of order t. Next, for t ≥ 3, we show that any tournament on n vertices that is δ-far from being transitive contains an unavoidable t-tournament when δ ≫ n−1/[t/2], where an unavoidable t-tournament is the blow-up of a cyclic triangle obtained by replacing each vertex of the triangle by a transitive tournament of order t. Conditional on a well-known conjecture about bipartite Turán numbers, both our results are sharp up to implied constants and hence determine the order of magnitude of the corresponding off-diagonal Ramsey numbers.
