Consider random regular graphs of order $n$ and degree $d=d(n)\ge 3$. Let $g=g(n)\ge 3$ satisfy $(d-1)^{2g-1}=o(n)$. Then the number of cycles of lengths up to $g$ have a distribution similar to that of independent Poisson variables. In particular, we find the asymptotic probability that there are no cycles with sizes in a given set, including the probability that the girth is greater than $g$. A corresponding result is given for random regular bipartite graphs.

Abstract Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any d-regular graph G on n vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this conjecture when $d = \Omega(n)$ , improving a result of Han, who showed that in this range almost all vertices of G can be covered by $n / (d+1) + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths. In fact our proof gives a partition of V(G) into cycles. We also show that, if $d = \Omega(n)$ and G is bipartite, then V(G) can be partitioned into n/(2d) paths (this bound is tight for bipartite graphs).

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 $n\geq 8$.

A permutation $a_1a_2\ldots a_n$ is indecomposable if there does not exist $p<n$ such that $a_1a_2\ldots a_p$ is a permutation of $\{ 1,2,\ldots,p\}$. We consider the  probability that a permutation of ${\mathbb S}_n$  with $m$ cycles is indecomposable and prove that  this probability is monotone non-increasing in $n$.We compute  also the asymptotic probability when  $n$ goes to infinity with $m/n$ tending to a fixed ratio.  The asymptotic probability is monotone in $m/n$, and there is no threshold phenomenon: it degrades gracefully from 1 to 0. When $n=2m$, a slight majority ($51.117\ldots$ percent) of the permutations are indecomposable.

The aim of this report to solve the open problem suggested by Chen et al. We study the graph entropy with ABC edge weights and present bounds of it for connected graphs, regular graphs, complete bipartite graphs, chemical graphs, tree, unicyclic graphs, and star graphs. Moreover, we compute the graph entropy for some families of dendrimers.

In this article, we prove that amongst all $n$ by $n$ bipartite graphs of girth at least six, where $n = q^2 + q + 1 \ge 157$, the incidence graph of a projective plane of order $q$, when it exists, has the maximum number of cycles of length eight. This characterizes projective planes as the partial planes with the maximum number of quadrilaterals.

International audience A permutation $a_1a_2 \ldots a_n$ is $\textit{indecomposable}$ if there does not exist $p \lt n$ such that $a_1a_2 \ldots a_p$ is a permutation of $\{ 1,2, \ldots ,p\}$. We compute the asymptotic probability that a permutation of $\mathbb{S}_n$ with $m$ cycles is indecomposable as $n$ goes to infinity with $m/n$ fixed. The error term is $O(\frac{\log(n-m)}{ n-m})$. The asymptotic probability is monotone in $m/n$, and there is no threshold phenomenon: it degrades gracefully from $1$ to $0$. When $n=2m$, a slight majority ($51.1 \ldots$ percent) of the permutations are indecomposable. We also consider indecomposable fixed point free involutions which are in bijection with maps of arbitrary genus on orientable surfaces, for these involutions with $m$ left-to-right maxima we obtain a lower bound for the probability of being indecomposable. Une permutation $a_1a_2 \ldots a_n$ est $\textit{indécomposable}$, s’il n’existe pas de $p \lt n$ tel que $a_1a_2 \ldots a_p$ est une permutation de $\{ 1,2, \ldots ,p\}$. Nous calculons la probabilité pour qu’une permutation de $\mathbb{S}_n$ ayant $m$ cycles soit indécomposable et plus particulièrement son comportement asymptotique lorsque $n$ tend vers l’infini et que $m=n$ est fixé. Cette valeur décroît régulièrement de $1$ à $0$ lorsque $m=n$ croît, et il n’y a pas de phénomène de seuil. Lorsque $n=2m$, une faible majorité ($51.1 \ldots$ pour cent) des permutations sont indécomposables. Nous considérons aussi les involutions sans point fixe indécomposables qui sont en bijection avec les cartes de genre quelconque plongées dans une surface orientable, pour ces involutions ayant $m$ maxima partiels (ou records) nous obtenons une borne inférieure pour leur probabilité d’êtres indécomposables.

Let $X subset V$ be a set of vertices in a graph $G = (V, E)$. The boundary $B(X)$ of $X$ is defined to be the set of vertices in $V-X$ dominated by vertices in $X$, that is, $B(X) = (V-X) cap N(X)$. The differential $ partial(X)$ of $X$ equals the value $ partial(X) = |B(X)| - |X|$. The differential of a graph $G$ is defined as $ partial(G) = max { partial(X) | X subset V }$. It is easy to see that for any graph $G$ having vertices of maximum degree $ Delta(G)$, $ partial(G) geq Delta (G) -1$. In this paper we characterize the classes of unicyclic graphs, split graphs, grid graphs, $k$-regular graphs, for $k leq 4$, and bipartite graphs for which $ partial(G) = Delta(G)-1$. We also determine the value of $ partial(T)$ for any complete binary tree $T$.

For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the expected value of the number of $m$-matchings of $r$-regular bipartite graphs on $2n$ vertices with respect to the two standard measures. We state and discuss the conjectured upper and lower bounds for $m$-matchings in $r$-regular bipartite graphs on $2n$ vertices, and their asymptotic versions for infinite $r$-regular bipartite graphs. We prove these conjectures for $2$-regular bipartite graphs and for $m$-matchings with $m\le 4$.

We give a method to construct cospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian by a local modification in some graphs with special structure. Namely, under some simple assumptions, we can replace a small bipartite graph with a cospectral mate without changing the spectrum of the entire graph. We also consider a related result for swapping out biregular bipartite graphs for the matrix $A+tD$. We produce (exponentially) large families of non-bipartite, non-regular graphs which are mutually cospectral, and also give an example of a graph which is cospectral with its complement but is not self-complementary.
