Two graphs G1 and G2 on n vertices are said to pack if there exist injective mappings of their vertex sets into [n] such that the images of their edge sets are disjoint. A longstanding conjecture due to Bollobás and Eldridge and, independently, Catlin, asserts that if (Δ(G1) + 1)(Δ(G2) + 1) ⩽ n + 1, then G1 and G2 pack. We consider the validity of this assertion under the additional assumption that G1 or G2 has bounded codegree. In particular, we prove for all t ⩾ 2 that if G1 contains no copy of the complete bipartite graph K2,t and Δ(G1) > 17t · Δ(G2), then (Δ(G1) + 1)(Δ(G2) + 1) ⩽ n + 1 implies that G1 and G2 pack. We also provide a mild improvement if moreover G2 contains no copy of the complete tripartite graph K1,1,s, s ⩾ 1.

The best lower bound known on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph is : $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)(m)(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor(n-1)/2\rfloor$$ In this paper we prove that: $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)m(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor (n-1)/2 \rfloor + 9.9 \times 10^{-6} m^2n^2$$ for sufficiently large $m$ and $n$.

The crossing number cr ( G ) of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. The main goal of the paper is to state the crossing number of the join product K 2 , 3 + C n for the complete bipartite graph K 2 , 3 , where C n is the cycle on n vertices. In the proofs, the idea of a minimum number of crossings between two distinct configurations in the various forms of arithmetic means will be extended. Finally, adding one more edge to the graph K 2 , 3 , we also offer the crossing number of the join product of one other graph with the cycle C n .

AbstractWe offer a new method for proving that the maxima eigenvalue of the normalized graph Laplacian of a graph with n vertices is at least $$\frac{n+1}{n-1}$$ n + 1 n - 1 provided the graph is not complete and that equality is attained if and only if the complement graph is a single edge or a complete bipartite graph with both parts of size $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 . With the same method, we also prove a new lower bound to the largest eigenvalue in terms of the minimum vertex degree, provided this is at most $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 .

The main aim of the paper is to establish the crossing numbers of the join products of the paths and the cycles on n vertices with a connected graph on five vertices isomorphic to the graph K1,1,3\e obtained by removing one edge e incident with some vertex of order two from the complete tripartite graph K1,1,3. The proofs are done with the help of well-known exact values for the crossing numbers of the join products of subgraphs of the considered graph with paths and cycles. Finally, by adding some edges to the graph under consideration, we obtain the crossing numbers of the join products of other graphs with the paths and the cycles on n vertices.

Mantel's theorem says that among all triangle-free graphs of a given order the balanced complete bipartite graph is the unique graph of maximum size. We prove an analogue of this result for 3-graphs. Let $K_4^-=\{123,124,134\}$, $F_6=\{123,124,345,156\}$ and $\mathcal{F}=\{K_4^-,F_6\}$: for $n\neq 5$ the unique $\mathcal{F}$-free 3-graph of order $n$ and maximum size is the balanced complete tripartite 3-graph $S_3(n)$ (for $n=5$ it is $C_5^{(3)}=\{123,234,345,145,125\}$). This extends an old result of Bollobás that $S_3(n) $ is the unique 3-graph of maximum size with no copy of $K_4^-=\{123,124,134\}$ or $F_5=\{123,124,345\}$.

A 2-distance-primitive graph is a vertex-transitive graph whose vertex stabilizer is primitive on both the first step and the second step neighborhoods. Let $\Gamma$ be such a graph. This paper shows that either $\Gamma$ is a cyclic graph, or $\Gamma$ is a complete bipartite graph, or $\Gamma$ has girth at most $4$ and the vertex stabilizer acts faithfully on both the first step and the second step neighborhoods. Also a complete classification is given of such graphs  satisfying that the vertex stabilizer acts $2$-transitively on the second step neighborhood. Finally, we determine the unique 2-distance-primitive graph which is  locally cyclic.
