About the GuideBooks. The Mathematica GuideBooks by Michael Trott form a four-volume set that has been in development for over a decade. The GuideBooks provide an exploration of the various facets of Mathematica as a tool for solving scientific problems. Each Mathematica GuideBook is available separately and covers one of the key features of Mathematica: programming, visualization, numerics, an...

The diameter of a graph G is the maximal distance between two vertices of G. A graph G is said to be diameter-edge-invariant, if d(G−e) = d(G) for all its edges, diametervertex-invariant, if d(G − v) = d(G) for all its vertices and diameter-adding-invariant if d(G+ e) = d(e) for all edges of the complement of the edge set of G. This paper describes some properties of such graphs and gives sever...
