Let Q be an acyclic quiver and s be a sequence with elements in the vertex set Q_0. We describe an induced sequence of simple (backward) tilting in the bounded derived category D(Q), starting from the standard heart H_Q = modkQ and ending at another heart H_s in D(Q). Then we show that s is a green mutation sequence if and only if every heart in this simple tilting sequence is greater than or equal to HQ[−1]; it is maximal if and only if H_s = H_Q[−1]. This provides a categorical way to understand green mutations. Further, fix a Coxeter element c in the Coxeter group W_Q of Q, which is admissible with respect to the orientation of Q. We prove that the sequence \tilde{w} induced by a c-sortable word w is a green mutation sequence. As a consequence, we obtain a bijection between c-sortable words and finite torsion classes in H_Q. As byproducts, the interpretations of inversions, descents and cover reflections of a c-sortable word w are given in terms of the combinatorics of green mutations.

"A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_4-e$ graphical if it has a realization containing a $K_4-e$ as a subgraph. Let $\sigma(K_4-e,n)$ denote the smallest degree sum such that every $n$ -term graphical sequence $S$ with $\sigma(S)\geq\sigma(K_4-e,n)$ is potentially $K_4-e$ graphical. Gould, Jacobson, Lehel raised the problem of determining the value of $\sigma(K_4-e,n)$ . In this paper, we prove that $\sigma(K_4-e,n)=2[(3n-1)/2]$ for $n\geq7$ and $n=4,5$ , and $\sigma(K_4-e,6)=20$ .''

"In this paper we consider a variation of the classical Turán-type extremal problems. Let $S$ be an $n$ -term graphical sequence, and $\sigma(S)$ be the sum of the terms in $S$ . Let $H$ be a graph. The problem is to determine the smallest even $l$ such that any $n$ -term graphical sequence $S$ having $\sigma(S)\geq l$ has a realization containing $H$ as a subgraph. Denote this value $l$ by $\sigma(H,n)$ . We show $\sigma(C_{2m+1},n)=m(2n-m-1)+2$ , for $m\geq 3$ , $n\geq 3m$ ; $\sigma(C_{2m+2},n)=m(2n-m-1)+4$ , for $m\geq 3$ , $n\geq 5m-2$ .''

We consider a graph G and a covering G of G and we study the relations of their eigenvalues and heat kernels. We evaluate the heat kernel for an infinite k-regular tree and we examine the heat kernels for general k-regular graphs. In particular, we show that a k-regular graph on n vertices has at most (1+ o (1)) 2 log n knlog k

Let $f(n)$ be the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices in which no two cycles have the same length. P. Erdos raised the problem of determining $f(n)$ (see J.A. Bondy and U.S.R. Murty, Graph Theory with Applications (Macmillan, New York, 1976), p.247, Problem 11). We present the problems, conjectures related to this problems and we summarize the know results. We make the following conjecture: \par \noindent{\bf Conjecture } $$\lim\sb {n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} = \sqrt {2 + \frac{4}{9}}.$$
