Games on graphs, visibility representations, and graph colorings
In this thesis we study combinatorial games on graphs and some graph parameters whose consideration was inspired by an interest in the symmetry of hypercubes. A capacity function f on a graph G

The lower bound on the length under optimal play of the P_4-saturation game on K_{m,n} is proved, which is similar to the results when Min plays first.

It is proved that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex isolate-free graph with $\ell$ vertices of degree 1, then $\gamma_g(G) \le 3n/5 + \left \lceil \ell/2 \right \rceil + 1$; in the course of establishing this result, a question of Bresar e...

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a
Saturation Games for Odd Cycles
It is shown that the number of edges that are in the final graph when both players play optimally is the same, andsat_g(\mathcal{C}_\infty\setminus C_3;n) is proved to be 2n-2, where $k\ge 2$ denotes the set of all odd cycles.

Signless Laplacian spectral radius and matching in graphs
• Mathematics
• 2020
The signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is given by $Q(G)=D(G)+A(G)$, where $D(G)$ is a diagonal matrix of vertex degrees and $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix. The largest eigenvalue of $Q(G)$ is

Tight lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching in a regular graph of order n and α′(G) are studied, which show that if k is even, then α' (G) \ge \min \left(k^3-k^2-2) \, n - 2k + 2}{2(k-3-3k)} .

This work investigates the triangle-free game proposed by András Hajnal and determines the winner in a version of the game with the additional rule that the chosen edges must always give a connected subgraph ofKn.
