Gyárfas proved that every coloring of the edges of $K_n$ with $t+1$ colors contains a monochromatic connected component of size at least $n/t$. Later, Gyárfás and Sárközy asked for which values of $\gamma=\gamma(t)$ does the following strengthening for almost complete graphs hold: if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1-\gamma)n$, then every $(t+1)$-edge coloring of $G$ contains a monochromatic component of size at least $n/t$. We show $\gamma= 1/(6t^3)$ suffices, improving a result of DeBiasio, Krueger, and Sárközy.

It is well-known that in every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ there is a monochromatic connected component of order at least ${n\over k-1}$. In this paper we study an extension of this problem by replacing complete graphs by graphs of large minimum degree. For $k=2$ the authors proved that $\delta(G)\ge{3n\over 4}$ ensures a monochromatic connected component with at least $\delta(G)+1$ vertices in every $2$-coloring of the edges of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. This result is sharp, thus for $k=2$ we really need a complete graph to guarantee that one of the colors has a monochromatic connected spanning subgraph. Our main result here is  that for larger values of $k$ the situation is different, graphs of minimum degree $(1-\epsilon_k)n$ can replace complete graphs and still there is a monochromatic connected component of order at least ${n\over k-1}$, in fact $$\delta(G)\ge \left(1 - \frac{1}{1000(k-1)^9}\right)n$$ suffices.Our second result is an improvement of this bound for $k=3$. If the edges of $G$ with  $\delta(G)\geq {9n\over 10}$ are $3$-colored, then there is a monochromatic component of order at least ${n\over 2}$. We conjecture that this can be improved to ${7n\over 9}$ and for general $k$ we conjecture the following: if $k\geq 3$ and  $G$ is a graph of order $n$ such that $\delta(G)\geq \left( 1 - \frac{k-1}{k^2}\right)n$, then in any $k$-coloring of the edges of $G$ there is a monochromatic connected component of order at least ${n\over k-1}$.

Complete Bipartite Graphs

A graph G, every vertex of which has degree at least three, is randomly 3-axial if for each vertex v of G, any ordered collection of three paths in G of length one with initial vertex v can be cyclically randomly extended to produce three internally disjoint paths which contain all the vertices of G. Randomly 3-axial graphs of order p > 4 are characterized for p ≢ 1 (mod 3), and are shown to be either complete graphs or certain regular complete bipartite graphs.

On the great success of bond-additive topological indices like Szeged, Padmakar-Ivan, Zagreb, and irregularity measures, yet another index, the Mostar index, has been introduced recently as a peripherality measure in molecular graphs and networks. For a connected graph G, the Mostar index is defined as $$M_{o}(G)=\displaystyle{\sum\limits_{e=gh\epsilon E(G)}}C(gh),$$ where $C(gh) \,=\,\left|n_{g}(e)-n_{h}(e)\right|$ be the contribution of edge $uv$ and $n_{g}(e)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ lying closer to vertex $g$ than to vertex $h$ ($n_{h}(e)$ define similarly). In this paper, we prove a general form of the results obtained by $Do\check{s}li\acute{c}$ et al.\cite{18} for compute the Mostar index to the Cartesian product of two simple connected graph. Using this result, we have derived the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, complete graphs and to some molecular graphs.

Let $F$ be a graph.  A graph $G$ is $F$-free if it does not contain $F$ as a subgraph.  The Turán number of $F$, written $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free graph with $n$ vertices.  The determination of Turán numbers of bipartite graphs is a challenging and widely investigated problem.  In this paper we introduce an ordered version of the Turán problem for bipartite graphs.  Let $G$ be a graph with $V(G) = \{1, 2, \dots , n \}$ and view the vertices of $G$ as being ordered in the natural way.  A zig-zag $K_{s,t}$, denoted $Z_{s,t}$, is a complete bipartite graph $K_{s,t}$ whose parts $A = \{n_1 < n_2 < \dots < n_s \}$ and $B = \{m_1 < m_2 < \dots < m_t \}$ satisfy the condition $n_s < m_1$.  A zig-zag $C_{2k}$ is an even cycle $C_{2k}$ whose vertices in one part precede all of those in the other part.  Write $\mathcal{Z}_{2k}$ for the family of zig-zag $2k$-cycles.  We investigate the Turán numbers $\textrm{ex}(n,Z_{s,t})$ and $\textrm{ex}(n,\mathcal{Z}_{2k})$.  In particular we show $\textrm{ex}(n, Z_{2,2}) \leq \frac{2}{3}n^{3/2} + O(n^{5/4})$.  For infinitely many $n$ we construct a $Z_{2,2}$-free $n$-vertex graph with more than $(n - \sqrt{n} - 1) + \textrm{ex} (n,K_{2,2})$ edges.

We consider the next random process for generating a maximal $H$-free graph: Given a fixed graph $H$ and an integer $n$, start by taking a uniformly random permutation of the edges of the complete $n$-vertex graph $K_n$. Then, traverse the edges of $K_n$ according to the order imposed by the permutation and add each traversed edge to an (initially empty) evolving $n$-vertex graph - unless its addition creates a copy of $H$. The result of this process is a maximal $H$-free graph ${\Bbb M}_n(H)$. Our main result is a new lower bound on the expected number of edges in ${\Bbb M}_n(H)$, for $H$ that is regular, strictly $2$-balanced. As a corollary, we obtain new lower bounds for Turán numbers of complete, balanced bipartite graphs. Namely, for fixed $r \ge 5$, we show that ex$(n, K_{r,r}) = \Omega(n^{2-2/(r+1)}(\ln\ln n)^{1/(r^2-1)})$. This improves an old lower bound of Erdős and Spencer. Our result relies on giving a non-trivial lower bound on the probability that a given edge is included in ${\Bbb M}_n(H)$, conditioned on the event that the edge is traversed relatively (but not trivially) early during the process.

Let $c:E(G)\rightarrow [k]$ be  a colouring, not necessarily proper, of edges of a graph $G$. For a vertex $v\in V$, let $\overline{c}(v)=(a_1,\ldots,a_k)$, where $ a_i =|\{u:uv\in E(G),\;c(uv)=i\}|$, for $i\in [k].$ If we re-order the sequence $\overline{c}(v)$ non-decreasingly, we obtain a sequence $c^*(v)=(d_1,\ldots,d_k)$, called a palette of a vertex $v$. This can be viewed as the most comprehensive information about colours incident with $v$ which can be delivered by a person who is unable to name colours but distinguishes one from another. The smallest $k$ such that $c^*$ is a proper colouring of vertices of $G$ is called the colour-blind index of a graph $G$, and is denoted by dal$(G)$. We conjecture that there is a constant $K$ such that dal$(G)\leq K$ for every graph $G$ for which the parameter is well defined. As our main result we prove that $K\leq 6$ for regular graphs of sufficiently large degree, and for irregular graphs with $\delta (G)$ and $\Delta(G)$ satisfying certain conditions. The proofs are based on the Lopsided Lovász Local Lemma. We also show that $K=3$ for all regular bipartite graphs, and for complete graphs of order $n\geq 8$.

AbstractWe consider arc colourings of oriented graphs such that for each vertex the colours of all out-arcs incident with the vertex and the colours of all in-arcs incident with the vertex form intervals. We prove that the existence of such a colouring is an NP-complete problem. We give the solution of the problem for r-regular oriented graphs, transitive tournaments, oriented graphs with small maximum degree, oriented graphs with small order and some other classes of oriented graphs. We state the conjecture that for each graph there exists a consecutive colourable orientation and confirm the conjecture for complete graphs, 2-degenerate graphs, planar graphs with girth at least 8, and bipartite graphs with arboricity at most two that include all planar bipartite graphs. Additionally, we prove that the conjecture is true for all perfect consecutively colourable graphs and for all forbidden graphs for the class of perfect consecutively colourable graphs.

We prove the following 30 year-old conjecture of Győri and Tuza: the edges of every n-vertex graph G can be decomposed into complete graphs C1,. . .,Cℓ of orders two and three such that |C1|+···+|Cℓ| ≤ (1/2+o(1))n2. This result implies the asymptotic version of the old result of Erdős, Goodman and Pósa that asserts the existence of such a decomposition with ℓ ≤ n2/4.
