A graph G with maximum degree and edge chromatic number (G)> is edge--critical if (G -e) = for every edge e of G. It is proved here that the vertex independence number of an edge--critical graph of order n is less than 3 5 n. For large , this improves on the best bound previously known, which was ro

## Abstract A graph is called supermagic if it admits a labelling of the edges by pairwise different consecutive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In the paper we establish some bounds for the number of edges in sup

## Abstract Let __R__(__G__) denote the minimum integer __N__ such that for every bicoloring of the edges of __K~N~__, at least one of the monochromatic subgraphs contains __G__ as a subgraph. We show that for every positive integer __d__ and each γ,0 < γ < 1, there exists __k__ = __k__(__d__,γ) su
## Abstract A graph is called __fragile__ if it has a vertex cut which is also an independent set. Chen and Yu proved that every graph with __n__ vertices and at most 2__n__−4 edges is fragile, which was conjectured to be true by Caro. However, their proof does not give any information on the numbe
