For a non-trivial connected graph G, a set S ⊆ V (G) is called an edge geodetic set of G if every edge of G is contained in a geodesic joining some pair of vertices in S. The edge geodetic number g1(G) of G is the minimum order of its edge geodetic sets and any edge geodetic set of order g1(G) is an edge geodetic basis. A connected edge geodetic set of G is an edge geodetic set S such that the ...

A graph is called symmetric if its full automorphism group acts transitively on the set of arcs. The Cayley graph $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ on group $G$ is said to be normal symmetric if $N_A(R(G))=R(G)rtimes Aut(G,S)$ acts transitively on the set of arcs of $Gamma$. In this paper, we classify all connected tetravalent normal symmetric Cayley graphs of order $p^2q$ where $p>q$ are prime numbers.

If $G$ is a connected graph with vertex set $V$, then the eccentric connectivity index of $G$, $xi^c(G)$, is defined as $sum_{vin V(G)}deg(v)ecc(v)$ where $deg(v)$ is the degree of a vertex $v$ and $ecc(v)$ is its eccentricity. In this paper we show some convergence in probability and an asymptotic normality based on this index in random bucket recursive trees.

Let G be a simple connected graph. The generalized polarity Wiener index of G is defined as the number of unordered pairs of vertices of G whose distance is k. Some formulas are obtained for computing the generalized polarity Wiener index of the Cartesian product and the tensor product of graphs in this article.

The first reformulated Zagreb index $EM_1(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the terms $(d_u+d_v-2)^2$ over all edges $uv$ of $G .$ In this paper, the various upper and lower bounds for the first reformulated Zagreb index of a connected graph interms of other topological indices are obtained.

For any vertex x in a connected graph G of order p ≥ 2, a set S of vertices of V is an x-detour set of G if each vertex v in G lies on an x-y detour for some element y in S. A connected x-detour set of G is an x-detour set S such that the subgraph G[S] induced by S is connected. The minimum cardinality of a connected x-detour set of G is the connected x-detour number of G and is denoted by cdx(...

The Laplacian-energy-like of a simple connected graph G is defined as LEL:=LEL(G)=∑_(i=1)^n√(μ_i ), Where μ_1 (G)≥μ_2 (G)≥⋯≥μ_n (G)=0 are the Laplacian eigenvalues of the graph G. Some upper and lower bounds for LEL are presented in this note. Moreover, throughout this work, some results related to lower bound of spectral radius of graph are obtained using the term of ΔG as the num...

A graph G is 1-Hamilton-connected if G − x is Hamilton-connected for every vertex x ∈ V (G). In the paper we introduce a closure concept for 1-Hamiltonconnectedness in claw-free graphs. If G is a (new) closure of a claw-free graph G, then G is 1-Hamilton-connected if and only if G is 1-Hamilton-connected, G is the line graph of a multigraph, and for some x ∈ V (G), G − x is the line graph of a ...

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...
