The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...

‎the narumi-katayama index was the first topological index defined‎ ‎by the product of some graph theoretical quantities‎. ‎let $g$ be a ‎simple graph with vertex set $v = {v_1,ldots‎, ‎v_n }$ and $d(v)$ be‎ ‎the degree of vertex $v$ in the graph $g$‎. ‎the narumi-katayama ‎index is defined as $nk(g) = prod_{vin v}d(v)$‎. ‎in this paper,‎ ‎the narumi-katayama index is generalized using a $n$-ve...

It is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity. As a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph G are equal provided G is well-covered bipa...

Let graph energy is a graph--spectrum--based quantity‎, ‎introduced in the 1970s‎. ‎After a latent period of 20--30 years‎, ‎it became a popular topic of research both‎ ‎in mathematical chemistry and in ``pure'' spectral graph theory‎, ‎resulting in‎ ‎over 600 published papers‎. ‎Eventually‎, ‎scores of different graph energies have‎ ‎been conceived‎. ‎In this article we...

the degree set of a graph is the set of its degrees. kapoor et al. [degree sets for graphs, fund. math. 95 (1977) 189-194] proved that for every set of positive integers, there exists a graph of diameter at most two and radius one with that degree set. furthermore, the minimum order of such a graph is determined. a graph is 2-self- centered if its radius and diameter are two. in this paper for ...

given a graph $g$, the total dominator coloring problem seeks aproper coloring of $g$ with the additional property that everyvertex in the graph is adjacent to all vertices of a color class. weseek to minimize the number of color classes. we initiate to studythis problem on several classes of graphs, as well as findinggeneral bounds and characterizations. we also compare the totaldominator chro...

A signed graph is a graph where the edges are assigned either positive ornegative signs. Net degree of a signed graph is the dierence between the number ofpositive and negative edges incident with a vertex. It is said to be net-regular if all itsvertices have the same net-degree. Laplacian energy of a signed graph is defined asε(L(Σ)) =|γ_1-(2m)/n|+...+|γ_n-(2m)/n| where γ_1,...,γ_n are the ei...

A {it topological index} of a graph is a real number related to the graph; it does not depend on labeling or pictorial representation of a graph. In this paper, we present the upper bounds for the product version of reciprocal degree distance of the tensor product, join and strong product of two graphs in terms of other graph invariants including the Harary index and Zagreb indices.

the rings considered in this article are  commutative  with identity which admit at least two  nonzero annihilating ideals. let $r$ be a ring. let $mathbb{a}(r)$ denote the set of all annihilating ideals of $r$ and let $mathbb{a}(r)^{*} = mathbb{a}(r)backslash {(0)}$. the annihilating-ideal graph of $r$, denoted by $mathbb{ag}(r)$  is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{a}(r)...

The Gallai graph and the anti-Gallai graph of a graph G are edge disjoint spanning subgraphs of the line graph L(G). The vertices in the Gallai graph are adjacent if two of the end vertices of the corresponding edges in G coincide and the other two end vertices are nonadjacent in G. The anti-Gallai graph of G is the complement of its Gallai graph in L(G). Attributed to Gallai (1967), the study ...
