in a graph g = (v,e), a subset s  v is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of s have a common neighbour in g. the maximum cardinality of an open packing set is called the open packing number and is denoted by rho^o. this paper further studies on this parameter by obtaining some new bounds.

In this paper we introduce remainder cordial labeling of graphs. Let $G$ be a $(p,q)$ graph. Let $f:V(G)rightarrow {1,2,...,p}$ be a $1-1$ map. For each edge $uv$ assign the label $r$ where $r$ is the remainder when $f(u)$ is divided by $f(v)$ or $f(v)$ is divided by $f(u)$ according as $f(u)geq f(v)$ or $f(v)geq f(u)$. The function$f$ is called a remainder cordial labeling of $G$ if $left| e_{...

For any integer  ‎, ‎a minus  k-dominating function is a‎function  f‎ : ‎V (G)  {-1,0‎, ‎1} satisfying w) for every  vertex v, ‎where N(v) ={u V(G) | uv  E(G)}  and N[v] =N(v)cup {v}. ‎The minimum of ‎the values of  v)‎, ‎taken over all minus‎k-dominating functions f,‎ is called the minus k-domination‎number and is denoted by $gamma_k^-(G)$ ‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we ‎introduce the study of minu...

in this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. let g = (v,e) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. g is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : v (g) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : e(g) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} d...

a watching system in a graph $g=(v, e)$ is a set $w={omega_{1}, omega_{2}, cdots, omega_{k}}$, where $omega_{i}=(v_{i}, z_{i}), v_{i}in v$ and $z_{i}$ is a subset of closed neighborhood of $v_{i}$ such that the sets $l_{w}(v)={omega_{i}: vin omega_{i}}$ are non-empty and distinct, for any $vin v$. in this paper, we study the watching systems of line graph $k_{n}$ which is called triangular grap...

‎Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph‎. ‎A subset $Ssubset V$ is a hop dominating set‎‎if every vertex outside $S$ is at distance two from a vertex of‎‎$S$‎. ‎A hop dominating set $S$ which induces a connected subgraph‎ ‎is called a connected hop dominating set of $G$‎. ‎The‎‎connected hop domination number of $G$‎, ‎$ gamma_{ch}(G)$,‎‎‎ ‎is the minimum cardinality of a connected hop‎‎dominating set of $G$...
