To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let $mathcal{G}(g,c,n)$ be the set of graphs $G$ with girth $g(G)=g$, circumference $c(G)=c$, and $n$ vertices; and let $mathcal{H}(g,c,m)$ be the set of graphs with girth $g$, circumference $c$, and $m$ edges. In this work, we study the four following extremal problems on graphs: $A(g,c,n)=min{delta(G),|; G in mathcal{G}(g,c,n) }$, $B(g,c,n)=max{delta(G),|; G in mathcal{G}(g,c,n) }$, $alpha(g,c,m)=min{delta(G),|; in mathcal{H}(g,c,m) }$ and $beta(g,c,m)=max{delta(G),|; G in mathcal{H}(g,c,m) }$. In particular, we obtain bounds for $A(g,c,n)$ and $alpha(g,c,m)$, and we compute the precise value of $B(g,c,n)$ and $beta(g,c,m)$ for all values of $g$, $c$, $n$ and $m$.

Gromov hyperbolicity is an interesting geometric property, and so it is natural to study it in the context of geometric graphs. It measures the tree-likeness of a graph from a metric viewpoint. In particular, we are interested in circular-arc graphs, which is an important class of geometric intersection graphs. In this paper we give sharp bounds for the hyperbolicity constant of (finite and infinite) circular-arc graphs. Moreover, we obtain bounds for the hyperbolicity constant of the complement and line of any circular-arc graph. In order to do that, we obtain new results about regular, chordal and line graphs which are interesting by themselves.
The general position number of a graph $G$ is the size of the largest set of vertices $S$ such that no geodesic of $G$ contains more than two elements of $S$. The monophonic position number of a graph is defined similarly, but with `induced path in place of `geodesic. In this paper we investigate some extremal problems for these parameters. Firstly we discuss the problem of the smallest possible order of a graph with given general and monophonic position numbers, with applications to a realisation result. We then solve a Tur{a}n problem for the size of graphs with given order and position numbers and characterise the possible diameters of graphs with given order and monophonic position number. Finally we classify the graphs with given order and diameter and largest possible general position number.
If $X$ is a geodesic metric space and $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3} in X$, a geodesic triangle $T={x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_{1}x_{2}]$, $[x_{2}x_{3}]$ and $[x_{3}x_{1}]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $delta$-hyperbolic in the Gromov sense if any side of $T$ is contained in a $delta$-neighborhood of the union of the two other sides, for every geodesic triangle $T$ in $X$. If $X$ is hyperbolic, we denote by $delta(X)$ the sharp hyperbolicity constant of $X$, i.e. $delta(X) =inf { deltageq 0:{0.3cm}$ X ${0.2cm}$ $text{is} {0.2cm} delta text{-hyperbolic} }.$ To compute the hyperbolicity constant is a very hard problem. Then it is natural to try to bound the hyperbolycity constant in terms of some parameters of the graph. Denote by $mathcal{G}(n,m)$ the set of graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and such that every edge has length $1$. In this work we estimate $A(n,m):=min{delta(G)mid G in mathcal{G}(n,m) }$ and $B(n,m):=max{delta(G)mid G in mathcal{G}(n,m) }$. In particular, we obtain good bounds for $B(n,m)$, and we compute the precise value of $A(n,m)$ for all values of $n$ and $m$. Besides, we apply these results to random graphs.
Assume $ k $ is a positive integer, $ lambda={k_1,k_2,...,k_q} $ is a partition of $ k $ and $ G $ is a graph. A $lambda$-assignment of $ G $ is a $ k $-assignment $ L $ of $ G $ such that the colour set $ bigcup_{vin V(G)} L(v) $ can be partitioned into $ q $ subsets $ C_1cup C_2cupcdotscup C_q $ and for each vertex $ v $ of $ G $, $ |L(v)cap C_i|=k_i $. We say $ G $ is $lambda$-choosable if for each $lambda$-assignment $ L $ of $ G $, $ G $ is $ L $-colourable. In particular, if $ lambda={k} $, then $lambda$-choosable is the same as $ k $-choosable, if $ lambda={1, 1,...,1} $, then $lambda$-choosable is equivalent to $ k $-colourable. For the other partitions of $ k $ sandwiched between $ {k} $ and $ {1, 1,...,1} $ in terms of refinements, $lambda$-choosability reveals a complex hierarchy of colourability of graphs. Assume $lambda={k_1, ldots, k_q} $ is a partition of $ k $ and $lambda $ is a partition of $ kge k $. We write $ lambdale lambda $ if there is a partition $lambda={k_1, ldots, k_q}$ of $k$ with $k_i ge k_i$ for $i=1,2,ldots, q$ and $lambda$ is a refinement of $lambda$. It follows from the definition that if $ lambdale lambda $, then every $lambda$-choosable graph is $lambda$-choosable. It was proved in [X. Zhu, A refinement of choosability of graphs, J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B 141 (2020) 143 - 164] that the converse is also true. This paper strengthens this result and proves that for any $ lambda otle lambda $, for any integer $g$, there exists a graph of girth at least $g$ which is $lambda$-choosable but not $lambda$-choosable.
A class of simple graphs such as ${cal G}$ is said to be {it odd-girth-closed} if for any positive integer $g$ there exists a graph $G in {cal G}$ such that the odd-girth of $G$ is greater than or equal to $g$. An odd-girth-closed class of graphs ${cal G}$ is said to be {it odd-pentagonal} if there exists a positive integer $g^*$ depending on ${cal G}$ such that any graph $G in {cal G}$ whose odd-girth is greater than $g^*$ admits a homomorphism to the five cycle (i.e. is $C_{_{5}}$-colorable). In this article, we show that finding the odd girth of generalized Petersen graphs can be transformed to an integer programming problem, and using this we explicitly compute the odd girth of such graphs, showing that the class is odd-girth-closed. Also, motivated by showing that the class of generalized Petersen graphs is odd-pentagonal, we study the circular chromatic number of such graphs.
