In 2008, Alspach [The Wonderful Walecki Construction, Bull. Inst. Combin. Appl. 52 (2008) 7-20] defined the matching sequencibility of a graph G to be the largest integer k such that there exists a linear ordering of its edges so that every k consecutive edges in the linear ordering form a matching of G, which is denoted by ms(G). In this paper, we show that every graph G of size q and maximum degree ? satisfies 1/2?q/?+1? ? ms(G) ? ?q?1/??1? by using the edge-coloring of G, and we also improve this lower bound for some particular graphs. We further discuss the relationship between the matching sequencibility and a conjecture of Seymour about the existence of the kth power of a Hamilton cycle.

Topological indices are useful for predicting the physicochemical behavior of chemical compounds. A main problem in this topic is finding good bounds for the indices, usually when some parameters of the graph are known. The aim of this paper is to use a unified approach in order to obtain several new inequalities for a wide family of topological indices restricted to trees and to characterize the corresponding extremal trees. The main results give upper and lower bounds for a large class of topological indices on trees, fixing or not the maximum degree. This class includes the first variable Zagreb, the Narumi–Katayama, the modified Narumi–Katayama and the Wiener index.

Let be the hypergraph whose points are the subsets X of [n] := {1,…,n} with l≤ |X| ≤ u, l < u, and whose edges are intervals in the Boolean lattice of the form I = {C ⊆[n] : X⊆C⊆Y} where |X| = l, |Y| = u, X ⊆ Y.We study the matching number i.e. the the maximum number of pairwise disjoint edges, and the covering number i.e. the minimum number of points which cover all edges. We prove that max and that for every ε > 0 the inequalities hold, where for the lower bounds we suppose that n is not too small. The corresponding fractional numbers can be determined exactly. Moreover, we show by construction that

AbstractLower bounds are given for the independence ratio in graphs satisfying certain girth and maximum degree requirements. In particular, the independence ratio of a graph with maximum degree Δ and girth at least six is at least (2Δ − 1)/(Δ2 + 2Δ − 1). Sharper bounds are given for cubic graphs.
