We show that the intersection dimension of graphs with respect to several hereditary properties can be bounded as a function of the maximum degree. As an interesting special case, we show that the circular dimension of a graph with maximum degree Δ is at most O(ΔlogΔlog logΔ)O\left( {\Delta {{\log \Delta } \over {\log \,\log \Delta }}} \right) . It is also shown that permutation dimension of any graph is at most Δ(log Δ)1+o(1). We also obtain bounds on intersection dimension in terms of treewidth.

Given a simple directed graph D = (V,A), let the size of the largest induced acyclic tournament be denoted by mat(D). Let D ∈ D(n, p) (with p = p(n)) be a random instance, obtained by randomly orienting each edge of a random graph drawn from Ϟ(n, 2p). We show that mat(D) is asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) one of only 2 possible values, namely either b*or b* + 1, where b* = ⌊2(logrn) + 0.5⌋ and r = p−1.

A star coloring of an undirected graph G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that (i) no two adjacent vertices receive the same color, and (ii) no path on 4 vertices is bi-colored. The star chromatic number of G, χs(G), is the minimum number of colors needed to star color G. In this paper, we show that if a graph G is either non-regular subcubic or cubic with girth at least 6, then χs(G) ≤ 6, and the bound can be realized in linear time.
