In this paper, we study both concepts of geodetic dominatingand edge geodetic dominating sets and derive some tight upper bounds onthe edge geodetic and the edge geodetic domination numbers. We also obtainattainable upper bounds on the maximum number of elements in a partitionof a vertex set of a connected graph into geodetic sets, edge geodetic sets,geodetic domin...

Keywords: mathematical morphology segmentation connected component attribute profile elongation area stability multiphoton microscopy In this paper, a method to segment elongated objects is proposed. It is based on attribute profiles and area stability. Images are represented as component trees using a threshold decomposition. Then, some attributes are computed on each node of the tree. Finally...

A digraph D is said to be an m-coloured digraph, if its arcs are coloured with m colours. A directed path (or a directed cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are coloured alike. A set N ⊆ V (D) of vertices of D is said to be a kernel by monochromatic paths of the m-coloured digraph D, if it satisfies the two following properties : (1) N is independent by monochromatic paths; i.e. f...

We consider the problem (MSSS) of finding the minimum number of arcs in a spanning strongly connected subgraph of a strongly connected digraph. This problem is NP-hard for general digraphs since it generalizes the hamiltonian cycle problem. We characterize the number of arcs in a minimum spanning strong subgraph for digraphs which are either extended semicomplete or semicomplete bipartite. Our ...

The vertex version of detour index was defined during the works on connected graph in chemistry. The edge versions of detour index have been introduced ecently. In this paper, the explicit relations among edge versions of detour index have been declared and due to these relations, we compute the edge detour indices for some well-known graphs.

in this paper we define the removable cycle that, if $im$ is a class of graphs, $gin im$, the cycle $c$ in $g$ is called removable if $g-e(c)in im$. the removable cycles in eulerian graphs have been studied. we characterize eulerian graphs which contain two edge-disjoint removable cycles, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for eulerian graph to have removable cycles h...

the vertex-edge wiener index of a simple connected graph g is defined as the sum of distances between vertices and edges of g. two possible distances d_1(u,e|g) and d_2(u,e|g) between a vertex u and an edge e of g were considered in the literature and according to them, the corresponding vertex-edge wiener indices w_{ve_1}(g) and w_{ve_2}(g) were introduced. in this paper, we present exact form...

Two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if their skew energies are equal. One of the open problems proposed by Li and Lian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs on n vertices. Recently this problem was solved by Ramane et al. In this  paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergetic digraphs.

We generalize chain enumeration in graded partially ordered sets by relaxing the graded, poset and Eulerian requirements. The resulting balanced digraphs, which include the classical Eulerian posets having an R-labeling, implies the existence of the (non-homogeneous) cd-index, a key invariant for studying inequalities for the flag vector of polytopes. Mirroring Alexander duality for Eulerian po...
