For a graph G where the vertices are coloured, the coloured distance of G is defined as the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices having different colours. Then for a fixed supply s of colours, ds(G) is defined as the minimum coloured distance over all colourings with s. This generalizes the concepts of median and average distance. In this paper we explore bounds on this ...

A balanced graph is a bipartite graph with no induced circuit of length 2 (mod 4). These graphs arise in linear programming. We focus on graph-algebraic properties of balanced graphs to prove a complete classification of balanced Cayley graphs on abelian groups. Moreover, in Section 5 of this paper, we prove that there is no cubic balanced planar graph. Finally, some remarkable conjectures for ...

let $g$ be an $(n,m)$-graph. we say that $g$ has property $(ast)$if for every pair of its adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, thereexists a vertex $z$, such that $z$ is not adjacentto either $x$ or $y$. if the graph $g$ has property $(ast)$, thenits complement $overline g$ is connected, has diameter 2, and itswiener index is equal to $binom{n}{2}+m$, i.e., the wiener indexis insensitive of any other...

mathematical chemistry is a branch of theoretical chemistry for discussion and prediction of the molecular structure using mathematical methods without necessarily referring to quantum mechanics. in theoretical chemistry, distance-based molecular structure descriptors are used for modeling physical, pharmacologic, biological and other properties of chemical compounds. the wiener polarity index ...

The emph{Harary index} $H(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $H(G)=sum_{u,vin V(G)}frac{1}{d_G(u,v)}$ where $d_G(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$. The Steiner distance in a graph, introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ ...

An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that extends the concept of a signed graph. We introduce hypergraphic structures and techniques central to the extension of the circuit classification of signed graphs to oriented hypergraphs. Oriented hypergraphs are further decomposed into three families – balanced, balanceable, and unbalanceable – and we obtain a complete classificati...

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...

the harary index h can be viewed as a molecular structure descriptor composed of increments representing interactions between pairs of atoms, such that their magnitude decreases with the increasing distance between the respective two atoms. a generalization of the harary index, denoted by hk, is achieved by employing the steiner-type distance between k-tuples of atoms. we show that the linear c...
