Cyclic Neighborhoods in Digraphs
Thilo Hartel, Dieter Rautenbach
Let be a digraph of order and size with the property that no out-neighborhood or in-neighborhood of any vertex is acyclic. We show that, if is strongly connected, t…

Degenerate Vertex Cuts in Sparse Graphs
Thilo Hartel, Johannes Rauch, Dieter Rautenbach
For a non-negative integer , a vertex cut in a graph is -degenerate if it induces a -degenerate subgraph. We show that a graph of order at least without a -d…

On the number of maximal independent sets and maximal induced bipartite subgraphs in -free graphs
Thilo Hartel, Lucas Picasarri-Arrieta, Dieter Rautenbach
Let be a -free graph of order and let be an integer with . We show the existence of positive constants and such that has at most $(4-η)^…
