A graph is called $2K_2$-free if it does not contain two independent edges as an induced subgraph. Mou and Pasechnik conjectured that every $frac{3}{2}$-tough $2K_2$-free graph with at least three vertices has a spanning trail with maximum degree at most $4$. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture. We also provide examples for all $t < frac{5}{4}$ of $t$-tough graphs that do not have a spanning trail with maximum degree at most $4$.

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that any two edges on a path of length three receive distinct colors. We denote the strong chromatic index by $chi_{s}(G)$ which is the minimum number of colors that allow a strong edge-c oloring of $G$. ErdH{o}s and Nev{s}etv{r}il conjectured in 1985 that the upper bound of $chi_{s}(G)$ is $frac{5}{4}Delta^{2}$ when $Delta$ is even and $frac{1}{4}(5Delta^{2}-2Delta +1)$ when $Delta$ is odd, where $Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$. The conjecture is proved right when $Deltaleq3$. The best known upper bound for $Delta=4$ is 22 due to Cranston previously. In this paper we extend the result of Cranston to list strong edge-coloring, that is to say, we prove that when $Delta=4$ the upper bound of list strong chromatic index is 22.

In 1966, Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph share a common vertex. Counterexamples indicate that this is not true in general. However, Gallais question is positive for certain well-known classes of connected graphs, such as s plit graphs, interval graphs, circular arc graphs, outerplanar graphs, and series-parallel graphs. A graph is $2K_2$-free if it does not contain two independent edges as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we show that in nonempty $2K_2$-free graphs, every vertex of maximum degree is common to all longest paths. Our result implies that all longest paths in a nonempty $2K_2$-free graph have a nonempty intersection. In particular, it gives a new proof for the result on split graphs, as split graphs are $2K_2$-free.
A signed graph is a pair $(G,Sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph (in which parallel edges are permitted, but loops are not) with $V={1,ldots,n}$ and $Sigmasubseteq E$. The edges in $Sigma$ are called odd and the other edges of $E$ even. By $S(G,Sigma )$ we denote the set of all symmetric $ntimes n$ matrices $A=[a_{i,j}]$ with $a_{i,j}<0$ if $i$ and $j$ are adjacent and connected by only even edges, $a_{i,j}>0$ if $i$ and $j$ are adjacent and connected by only odd edges, $a_{i,j}in mathbb{R}$ if $i$ and $j$ are connected by both even and odd edges, $a_{i,j}=0$ if $i ot=j$ and $i$ and $j$ are non-adjacent, and $a_{i,i} in mathbb{R}$ for all vertices $i$. The parameters $M(G,Sigma)$ and $xi(G,Sigma)$ of a signed graph $(G,Sigma)$ are the largest nullity of any matrix $Ain S(G,Sigma)$ and the largest nullity of any matrix $Ain S(G,Sigma)$ that has the Strong Arnold Hypothesis, respectively. In a previous paper, we gave a characterization of signed graphs $(G,Sigma)$ with $M(G,Sigma)leq 1$ and of signed graphs with $xi(G,Sigma)leq 1$. In this paper, we characterize the $2$-connected signed graphs $(G,Sigma)$ with $M(G,Sigma)leq 2$ and the $2$-connected signed graphs $(G,Sigma)$ with $xi(G,Sigma)leq 2$.
The maximum matching width is a width-parameter that is defined on a branch-decomposition over the vertex set of a graph. The size of a maximum matching in the bipartite graph is used as a cut-function. In this paper, we characterize the graphs of ma ximum matching width at most 2 using the minor obstruction set. Also, we compute the exact value of the maximum matching width of a grid.

Given a graph $G$, let $f_{G}(n,m)$ be the minimal number $k$ such that every $k$ independent $n$-sets in $G$ have a rainbow $m$-set. Let $mathcal{D}(2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree at most two. Aharoni et al. (2019) conjectured t hat (i) $f_G(n,n-1)=n-1$ for all graphs $Ginmathcal{D}(2)$ and (ii) $f_{C_t}(n,n)=n$ for $tge 2n+1$. Lv and Lu (2020) showed that the conjecture (ii) holds when $t=2n+1$. In this article, we show that the conjecture (ii) holds for $tgefrac{1}{3}n^2+frac{44}{9}n$. Let $C_t$ be a cycle of length $t$ with vertices being arranged in a clockwise order. An ordered set $I=(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_n)$ on $C_t$ is called a $2$-jump independent $n$-set of $C_t$ if $a_{i+1}-a_i=2pmod{t}$ for any $1le ile n-1$. We also show that a collection of 2-jump independent $n$-sets $mathcal{F}$ of $C_t$ with $|mathcal{F}|=n$ admits a rainbow independent $n$-set, i.e. (ii) holds if we restrict $mathcal{F}$ on the family of 2-jump independent $n$-sets. Moreover, we prove that if the conjecture (ii) holds, then (i) holds for all graphs $Ginmathcal{D}(2)$ with $c_e(G)le 4$, where $c_e(G)$ is the number of components of $G$ isomorphic to cycles of even lengths.
