Given a graph $G$, the strong clique number of $G$, denoted $omega_S(G)$, is the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges such that every pair of edges in $S$ has distance at most $2$ in the line graph of $G$. As a relaxation of the renowned ErdH{o}s--Nev{s}etv{r}il conjecture regarding the strong chromatic index, Faudree et al. suggested investigating the strong clique number, and conjectured a quadratic upper bound in terms of the maximum degree. Recently, Cames van Batenburg, Kang, and Pirot conjectured a linear upper bound in terms of the maximum degree for graphs without even cycles. Namely, if $G$ is a $C_{2k}$-free graph, then $omega_S(G)leq (2k-1)Delta(G)-{2k-1choose 2}$, and if $G$ is a $C_{2k}$-free bipartite graph, then $omega_S(G)leq kDelta(G)-(k-1)$. We prove the second conjecture in a stronger form, by showing that forbidding all odd cycles is not necessary. To be precise, we show that a ${C_5, C_{2k}}$-free graph $G$ with $Delta(G)ge 1$ satisfies $omega_S(G)leq kDelta(G)-(k-1)$, when either $kgeq 4$ or $kin {2,3}$ and $G$ is also $C_3$-free. Regarding the first conjecture, we prove an upper bound that is off by the constant term. Namely, for $kgeq 3$, we prove that a $C_{2k}$-free graph $G$ with $Delta(G)ge 1$ satisfies $omega_S(G)leq (2k-1)Delta(G)+(2k-1)^2$. This improves some results of Cames van Batenburg, Kang, and Pirot.
Let $q_{min}(G)$ stand for the smallest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of a graph $G$ of order $n.$ This paper gives some results on the following extremal problem: How large can $q_minleft( Gright) $ be if $G$ is a graph of order $n,$ with n
The Hadwiger number $h(G)$ is the order of the largest complete minor in $G$. Does sufficient Hadwiger number imply a minor with additional properties? In [2], Geelen et al showed $h(G)geq (1+o(1))ctsqrt{ln t}$ implies $G$ has a bipartite subgraph
We prove that the number of Hamilton cycles in the random graph G(n,p) is n!p^n(1+o(1))^n a.a.s., provided that pgeq (ln n+ln ln n+omega(1))/n. Furthermore, we prove the hitting-time version of this statement, showing that in the random graph process
The edge-distinguishing chromatic number (EDCN) of a graph $G$ is the minimum positive integer $k$ such that there exists a vertex coloring $c:V(G)to{1,2,dotsc,k}$ whose induced edge labels ${c(u),c(v)}$ are distinct for all edges $uv$. Previous work
Let $G$ be a graph whose edges are coloured with $k$ colours, and $mathcal H=(H_1,dots , H_k)$ be a $k$-tuple of graphs. A monochromatic $mathcal H$-decomposition of $G$ is a partition of the edge set of $G$ such that each part is either a single edg
