abstract. in this paper we study some relations between the power andquotient power graph of a finite group. these interesting relations motivateus to find some graph theoretical properties of the quotient power graphand the proper quotient power graph of a finite group g. in addition, weclassify those groups whose quotient (proper quotient) power graphs areisomorphic to trees or paths.

motivated by the terminal wiener index‎, ‎we define the ashwini index $mathcal{a}$ of trees as‎ begin{eqnarray*}‎ % ‎nonumber to remove numbering (before each equation)‎ ‎mathcal{a}(t) &=& sumlimits_{1leq i‎&+& deg_{_{t}}(n(v_{j}))],‎ ‎end{eqnarray*}‎ ‎where $d_{t}(v_{i}‎, ‎v_{j})$ is the distance between the vertices $v_{i}‎, ‎v_{j} in v(t)$‎, ‎is equal to the length of the shortest path start...

altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons were recently introduced and studied in theoretical organic chemistry. we now provide a generalization of the altan concept, applicable to any graph. several earlier noticed topological properties of altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons are shown to be the properties of all altan derivatives of all graphs. among these ar...

the wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. inaddition to that a generating function, which was called the wiener polynomial, who’sderivate is a q-analog of the wiener index was defined. in an article, sagan, yeh and zhang in[the wiener polynomial of a graph, int. j. quantun chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attainedwhat graph operations do to the wiener po...

For a graph $G$ let $gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $G$ has at least one EDS, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{UD}$ graph) if $G$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...

One solution to process and analysis of massive graphs is summarization. Generating a high quality summary is the main challenge of graph summarization. In the aims of generating a summary with a better quality for a given attributed graph, both structural and attribute similarities must be considered. There are two measures named density and entropy to evaluate the quality of structural and at...

let $g$ be a connected graph of order $3$ or more and $c:e(g)rightarrowmathbb{z}_k$‎ ‎($kge 2$) a $k$-edge coloring of $g$ where adjacent edges may be colored the same‎. ‎the color sum $s(v)$ of a vertex $v$ of $g$ is the sum in $mathbb{z}_k$ of the colors of the edges incident with $v.$ the $k$-edge coloring $c$ is a modular $k$-edge coloring of $g$ if $s(u)ne s(v)$ in $mathbb{z}_k$ for all pa...

 The order graph of a group $G$, denoted by $Gamma^*(G)$, is a graph whose vertices are subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if $|H|big{|}|K|$ or $|K|big{|}|H|$. In this paper, we study the connectivity and diameter of this  graph. Also we give a relation between the order graph and prime  graph of a group.

A set $Wsubset V (G)$ is called a resolving set, if for every two distinct vertices $u, v in V (G)$ there exists $win W$ such that $d(u,w) not = d(v,w)$, where $d(x, y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. A resolving set for $G$ with minimum cardinality is called a metric basis. A graph with a unique metric basis is called a uniquely dimensional graph. In this paper, we establish...

the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring r with respect to nilpotent elements is a simple undirected graph $gamma_n^*(r)$ with vertex set z_n(r)*, and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy is nilpotent and xy is nonzero, where z_n(r)={x in r: xy is nilpotent, for some y in r^*}. in this paper, we investigate the basic properties of $gamma_n^*(r)$. we discuss when it will be eu...
