A chord of a path $P$ is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of $P$. A path  $P$ is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest $x-y$ monophonic path is called an $x-y$ detour monophonic path. A  detour monophonic graphoidal cover of a graph $G$ is a collection $psi_{dm}$ of detour monophonic paths in $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ is an internal vertex  of at most on...

Abstract: A chord of a path P is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of P . A path P is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A monophonic graphoidal cover of a graph G is a collection ψm of monophonic paths in G such that every vertex of G is an internal vertex of at most one monophonic path in ψm and every edge of G is in exactly one monophonic path in ψm. The minimum card...

For a connected graph G = (V,E) of order at least two, a total detour monophonic set of a graph G is a detour monophonic set S such that the subgraph induced by S has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a total detour monophonic set of G is the total detour monophonic number of G and is denoted by dmt(G). A subset T of a minimum total detour monophonic set S of G is a forcing total...

For a connected graph G of order at least two, a path P is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest x−y monophonic path is called an x − y detour monophonic path. A set S of vertices of G is an edge detour monophonic set of G if every edge of G lies on a detour monophonic path joining some pair of vertices in S. The edge detour monophonic number of G is the minimum cardinal...

For a connected graph G = (V,E) of order at least three, the monophonic distance dm(u, v) is the length of a longest u− v monophonic path in G. For subsets A and B of V , the monophonic distance dm(A,B) is defined as dm(A,B) = min{dm(x, y) : x ∈ A, y ∈ B}. A u− v path of length dm(A,B) is called an A−B detour monophonic path joining the sets A,B ⊆ V, where u ∈ A and v ∈ B. A set S ⊆ E is called...

For any two vertices u and v in a connected graph G, a u − v path is a monophonic path if it contains no chords, and the monophonic distance dm(u, v) is the length of a longest u − v monophonic path in G. For any vertex v in G, the monophonic eccentricity of v is em(v) = max {dm(u, v) : u ∈ V}. The subgraph induced by the vertices of G having minimum monophonic eccentricity is the monophonic ce...

An induced graphoidal cover of a graph G is a collection ψ of (not necessarily open) paths in G such that every path in ψ has at least two vertices, every vertex of G is an internal vertex of at most one path in ψ, every edge of G is in exactly one path in ψ and every member of ψ is an induced cycle or an induced path. The minimum cardinality of an induced graphoidal cover of G is called the in...

A graphoidal cover of a graph G is a collection ψ of (not necessarily open) paths in G such that every path in ψ has at least two vertices, every vertex of G is an internal vertex of at most one path in ψ and every edge of G is in exactly one path in ψ. The minimum cardinality of a graphoidal cover of G is called the graphoidal covering number of G and is denoted by η(G) or η. Also, If every me...
