In this paper, we consider the decomposition of multigraphs under minimum degree constraints and give a unified generalization of several results by various researchers. Let $G$ be a multigraph in which no quadrilaterals share edges with triangles and other quadrilaterals and let $\mu_G(v)=\max\{\mu_G(u,v):u\in V(G)\setminus\{v\}\}$, where $\mu_G(u,v)$ is the number of edges joining $u$ and $v$ in $G$. We show that for any two functions $a,b:V(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{N}\setminus\{0,1\}$, if $d_G(v)\ge a(v)+b(v)+2\mu_G(v)-3$ for each $v\in V(G)$, then there is a partition $(X,Y)$ of $V(G)$ such that $d_X(x)\geq a(x)$ for each $x\in X$ and $d_Y(y)\geq b(y)$ for each $y\in Y$. This extends the related results due to Diwan, Liu–Xu and  Ma–Yang on simple graphs to the multigraph setting.

<p>Let <span class="math"><em>H</em></span> and <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> be two simple graphs. The concept of an <span class="math"><em>H</em></span>-magic decomposition of <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> arises from the combination between graph decomposition and graph labeling. A decomposition of a graph <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> into isomorphic copies of a graph <span class="math"><em>H</em></span> is <span class="math"><em>H</em></span>-magic if there is a bijection <span class="math"><em>f</em> : <em>V</em>(<em>G</em>) ∪ <em>E</em>(<em>G</em>) → {1, 2, ..., ∣<em>V</em>(<em>G</em>) ∪ <em>E</em>(<em>G</em>)∣}</span> such that the sum of labels of edges and vertices of each copy of <span class="math"><em>H</em></span> in the decomposition is constant. A lexicographic product of two graphs <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>1</sub></span> and <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>2</sub>, </span> denoted by <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>1</sub>[<em>G</em><sub>2</sub>], </span> is a graph which arises from <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>1</sub></span> by replacing each vertex of <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>1</sub></span> by a copy of the <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>2</sub></span> and each edge of <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>1</sub></span> by all edges of the complete bipartite graph <span class="math"><em>K</em><sub><em>n</em>, <em>n</em></sub></span> where <span class="math"><em>n</em></span> is the order of <span class="math"><em>G</em><sub>2</sub>.</span> In this paper we provide a sufficient condition for <span class="math">$\overline{C_{n}}[\overline{K_{m}}]$</span> in order to have a <span class="math">$P_{t}[\overline{K_{m}}]$</span>-magic decompositions, where <span class="math"><em>n</em> &gt; 3, <em>m</em> &gt; 1, </span> and <span class="math"><em>t</em> = 3, 4, <em>n</em> − 2</span>.</p>

Mantel's Theorem from 1907 is one of the oldest results in graph theory: every simple $n$-vertex graph with more than $\frac{1}{4}n^2$ edges contains a triangle. The theorem has been generalized in many different ways, including other subgraphs, minimum degree conditions, etc. This article deals with a generalization to edge-colored multigraphs, which can be viewed as a union of simple graphs, each corresponding to an edge-color class. The case of two colors is the same as the original setting: Diwan and Mubayi proved that any two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ on the same set of $n$ vertices, each containing more than $\frac{1}{4}n^2$ edges, give rise to a triangle with one edge from $G_1$ and two edges from $G_2$. The situation is however different for three colors. Fix $\tau=\frac{4-\sqrt{7}}{9}$ and split the $n$ vertices into three sets $A$, $B$ and $C$, such that $|B|=|C|=\lfloor\tau n\rfloor$ and $|A|=n-|B|-|C|$. The graph $G_1$ contains all edges inside $A$ and inside $B$, the graph $G_2$ contains all edges inside $A$ and inside $C$, and the graph $G_3$ contains all edges between $A$ and $B\cup C$ and inside $B\cup C$. It is easy to check that there is no triangle with one edge from $G_1$, one from $G_2$ and one from $G_3$; each of the graphs has about $\frac{1+\tau^2}{4}n^2=\frac{26-2\sqrt{7}}{81}n^2\approx 0.25566n^2$ edges. The main result of the article is that this construction is optimal: any three graphs $G_1$, $G_2$ and $G_3$ on the same set of $n$ vertices, each containing more than $\frac{1+\tau^2}{4}n^2$ edges, give rise to a triangle with one edge from each of the graphs $G_1$, $G_2$ and $G_3$. A computer-assisted proof of the same bound has been found by Culver, Lidický, Pfender and Volec.

Let $G$ be a graph. For a given positive integer $d$, let $f_G(d)$ denote the largest integer $t$ such that in every coloring of the edges of $G$ with two colors there is a monochromatic subgraph with minimum degree at least $d$ and order at least $t$. Let $f_G(d)=0$ in case there is a $2$-coloring of the edges of $G$ with no such monochromatic subgraph. Let $f(n,k,d)$ denote the minimum of $f_G(d)$ where $G$ ranges over all graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $k$. In this paper we establish $f(n,k,d)$ whenever $k$ or $n-k$ are fixed, and $n$ is sufficiently large. We also consider the case where more than two colors are allowed.

Although primary surgery for cleft lip has improved over time, the degree of secondary cleft or nasal deformity reportedly varies from a minimum degree to a remarkable degree. Patients with cleft often worry about residual nose deformity, such as a displaced columella, a broad nasal floor, and a deviation of the alar base on the cleft side. Some of the factors that occur in association with secondary cleft or nasal deformity include a deviation of the anterior nasal spine, a deflected septum, a deficiency of the orbicularis muscle, and a lack of bone underlying the nose. Secondary cleft and nasal deformity can result from incomplete muscle repair at the primary cleft operation. Therefore, surgeons should manage patients individually and deal with various deformities by performing appropriate surgery on a case-by-case basis. In this report, we applied the simple method of single VY-plasty on the nasal floor to a patient with unilateral cleft to revise the alar base on the cleft side. We adopted this approach to achieve overcorrection on the cleft side during surgery, which helped maintain the appropriate position of the alar base and ultimately balanced the nose foramen at 13 months after the operation. It was also possible to complement the height of the nasal floor without a bone graft. We believe that this approach will prove useful for managing cases with a broad and low nasal floor, thereby enabling the reconstruction of a well-balanced nose.
