1. On the Hamilton-Waterloo Problem with a single factor of 6-cyclesZazil Santizo Huerta, Melissa Keranen, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The uniform Hamilton-Waterloo Problem (HWP) asks for a resolvable (CM, CN)-decomposition of Kv into α CM-factors and β CN-factors. We denote a solution to the uniform Hamilton-Waterloo problem by HWP(v; M, N; α, β). Our research concentrates on addressing some of the remaining unresolved cases, which pose a significant challenge to generalize. We place a particular emphasis on instances where the gcd (M, N) = {2, 3}, with a specific focus on the parameter M = 6. We introduce modifications to some known structures, and develop new approaches to resolving these outstanding challenges in the construction of uniform 2-factorizations. This innovative method not only extends the scope of solved cases, but also contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity involved in solving the Hamilton-Waterloo Problem.

4. On bipartite (1,1,k)-mixed graphsCristina Dalfó, Grahame Erskine, Geoffrey Exoo, Miquel Àngel Fiol, James Tuite, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite and in which the undirected and directed degrees are one. The best graphs, in terms of the number of vertices, are presented for small diameters. Moreover, two infinite families of such graphs with diameter k and number of vertices of the order of 2k/2 are proposed, one of them being totally regular (1,1)-mixed graphs. In addition, we present two more infinite families called chordal ring and chordal double ring mixed graphs, which are bipartite and related to tessellations of the plane. Finally, we give an upper bound that improves the Moore bound for bipartite mixed graphs for r = z = 1.

5. On extremal (almost) edge-girth-regular graphsGabriela Araujo-Pardo, György Kiss, István Porupsánszki, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A k-regular graph of girth g is called an edge-girth-regular graph, or an egr-graph for short, if each of its edges is contained in exactly λ distinct g-cycles. An egr-graph is called extremal for the triple (k, g, λ) if has the smallest possible order. We prove that some graphs arising from incidence graphs of finite planes are extremal egr-graphs. We also prove new lower bounds on the order of egr-graphs. Ključne besede: edge-girth-regular graph, cage problem, finite biaffine planes Objavljeno v RUP: 03.11.2025; Ogledov: 1055; Prenosov: 8

7. Totally regular mixed graphs constructed from the CD(n,q) graphs of Lazebnik, Ustimenko and WoldarTatiana Jajcayova, Robert Jajcay, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The CD(n,q) graphs are connected components of q-regular graphs D(n,q) introduced in 1995 by Lazebnik and Ustimenko. They constitute the best universal family of regular graphs of prime power degree with regard to the Cage Problem which calls for determining the orders of the smallest k-regular graphs of girth g. The girths of the CD(n,q) graphs are known to be at least n+4 in case of even n, and n+5 for odd n. We propose to extend the use of the CD(n,q) graphs into the area of mixed graphs by adding directions to certain edges of the C(n,q)graphs.
In the context of mixed graphs, graphs in which the number of incident non-oriented edges is the same for all vertices, and the numbers of out-going and in-going edges are also equal and the same for all vertices, are of special interest and are called totally regular mixed graphs. In view of the special properties of the original C(n,q) graphs with regard to cages, we believe that the totally regular mixed graphs we propose to study may also prove to be extremal with regard to properties sought for in the area of mixed graphs.

9. The extremal generalised Randić index for a given degree rangeJohn Haslegrave, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: O and Shi proved that the Randić index of any graph G with minimum degree at least δ and maximum degree at most Δ is at least sqrt(δΔ)/(δ+Δ) |G|, with equality if and only if the graph is (δ, Δ)-biregular. In this note we give a short proof via a more general statement. As an application of our more general result, we classify for any given degree range which graphs minimise (or maximise) the generalised Randić index for any exponent, and describe the transitions between different types of behaviour precisely.

10. Generalization of edge general position problemPaul Manuel, R. Prabha, Sandi Klavžar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The edge geodesic cover problem of a graph G is to find a smallest number of geodesics that cover the edge set of G. The edge k-general position problem is introduced as the problem to find a largest set S of edges of G such that at most k-1 edges of S lie on a common geodesic. We show that these are dual min-max problems and connect them to an edge geodesic partition problem. Using these connections, exact values of the edge k-general position number is determined for different values of k and for various networks including torus networks, hypercubes, and Benes networks.
