Unions of triangle free graphs ★★★

Author(s): Erdos; Hajnal

Problem   Does there exist a graph with no subgraph isomorphic to $ K_4 $ which cannot be expressed as a union of $ \aleph_0 $ triangle free graphs?

Keywords: forbidden subgraph; infinite graph; triangle free

Half-integral flow polynomial values ★★

Author(s): Mohar

Let $ \Phi(G,x) $ be the flow polynomial of a graph $ G $. So for every positive integer $ k $, the value $ \Phi(G,k) $ equals the number of nowhere-zero $ k $-flows in $ G $.

Conjecture   $ \Phi(G,5.5) > 0 $ for every 2-edge-connected graph $ G $.

Keywords: nowhere-zero flow

Triangle free strongly regular graphs ★★★

Author(s):

Problem   Is there an eighth triangle free strongly regular graph?

Keywords: strongly regular; triangle free

Alon-Saks-Seymour Conjecture ★★★

Author(s): Alon; Saks; Seymour

Conjecture   If $ G $ is a simple graph which can be written as an union of $ m $ edge-disjoint complete bipartite graphs, then $ \chi(G) \le m+1 $.

Keywords: coloring; complete bipartite graph; eigenvalues; interlacing
