On the existence of a cycle of length at least 7 in a (1,≤ 2)-twin-free graph
We consider a simple, undirected graph G. The ball of a subset Y of vertices in G is the set of vertices in G at distance at most one from a vertex in Y. Assuming that the balls of all subsets of at most two vertices in G are distinct, we prove that G admits a cycle with length at least 7.
On the factorization of reducible properties of graphs into irreducible factors
A hereditary property R of graphs is said to be reducible if there exist hereditary properties P₁,P₂ such that G ∈ R if and only if the set of vertices of G can be partitioned into V(G) = V₁∪V₂ so that ⟨V₁⟩ ∈ P₁ and ⟨V₂⟩ ∈ P₂. The problem of the factorization of reducible properties into irreducible factors is investigated.

On the simplex graph operator
A simplex of a graph G is a subgraph of G which is a complete graph. The simplex graph Simp(G) of G is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all simplices of G and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a non-empty intersection. The simplex graph operator is the operator which to every graph G assigns its simplex graph Simp(G). The paper studies graphs which are fixed in this operator and gives a partial answer to a problem suggested by E. Prisner.
On the tree-width of a graph.
On transitive orientations of G-ê
A comparability graph is a graph whose edges can be oriented transitively. Given a comparability graph G = (V,E) and an arbitrary edge ê∈ E we explore the question whether the graph G-ê, obtained by removing the undirected edge ê, is a comparability graph as well. We define a new substructure of implication classes and present a complete mathematical characterization of all those edges.

On two transformations of graphs
The paper describes the properties of two transformations of graphs. One of them was introduced by F. Gliviak for the sake of study of metric properties of graphs, the other is related to it.
On uniquely partitionable relational structures and object systems
We introduce object systems as a common generalization of graphs, hypergraphs, digraphs and relational structures. Let C be a concrete category, a simple object system over C is an ordered pair S = (V,E), where E = A₁,A₂,...,Aₘ is a finite set of the objects of C, such that the ground-set of each object is a finite set with at least two elements and . To generalize the results on graph colourings to simple object systems we define, analogously as for graphs, that an additive induced-hereditary...

On Γ-regular graphs
On θ-graphs of partial cubes
The Θ-graph Θ(G) of a partial cube G is the intersection graph of the equivalence classes of the Djoković-Winkler relation. Θ-graphs that are 2-connected, trees, or complete graphs are characterized. In particular, Θ(G) is complete if and only if G can be obtained from K₁ by a sequence of (newly introduced) dense expansions. Θ-graphs are also compared with familiar concepts of crossing graphs and τ-graphs.
Operations on well-covered graphs and the Roller-Coaster conjecture.
Order of the smallest counterexample to Gallai's conjecture
In 1966, Gallai conjectured that all the longest paths of a connected graph have a common vertex. Zamfirescu conjectured that the smallest counterexample to Gallai’s conjecture is a graph on 12 vertices. We prove that Gallai’s conjecture is true for every connected graph with , which implies that Zamfirescu’s conjecture is true.
Paired-domination
We are interested in dominating sets (of vertices) with the additional property that the vertices in the dominating set can be paired or matched via existing edges in the graph. This could model the situation of guards or police where each has a partner or backup. This paper will focus on those graphs in which the number of matched pairs of a minimum dominating set of this type equals the size of some maximal matching in the graph. In particular, we characterize the leafless graphs of girth seven...
