The commuting graph of a group is a graph with vertexes set of a subset of a group and two element are adjacent if they commute. The aim of this paper is to obtain the automorphism group of the commuting graph of a conjugacy class in the symmetric groups. The clique number, coloring number, independent number, and diameter of these graphs are also computed.

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $m$ an $r$-module. in this paper, we associate a graph to $m$, say ${gamma}({}_{r}m)$, such that when $m=r$, ${gamma}({}_{r}m)$ coincide with the zero-divisor graph of $r$. many well-known results by d.f. anderson and p.s. livingston have been generalized for ${gamma}({}_{r}m)$. we show that ${gamma}({}_{r}m)$ is connected with ${diam}({gamma}({}_...

a graph of size n is said to be graceful when is possible toassign distinct integers from {0, 1, . . . , n} to its verticesand {|f(u)−f(v)| : uv ∈ e(g)} consists of n integers. inthis paper we present broader families of graceful graphs; these families are obtained via three different operations: the third power of a caterpillar, the symmetric product of g and k2 , and the disjoint :union: of g...

‎the concept of the bipartite divisor graph for integer subsets has been considered in [‎m‎. ‎a‎. ‎iranmanesh and c‎. ‎e‎. ‎praeger‎, ‎bipartite divisor graphs for integer subsets‎, ‎{em graphs combin.}‎, ‎{bf 26} (2010) 95--105‎.]‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we will consider this graph for the set of character degrees of a finite group $g$ and obtain some properties of this graph‎. ‎we show that if $g...

a proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. a graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $g$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. in this paper, we prov...

a recently published paper [t. došlić, this journal 3 (2012) 25-34] considers the zagrebindices of benzenoid systems, and points out their low discriminativity. we show thatanalogous results hold for a variety of vertex-degree-based molecular structure descriptorsthat are being studied in contemporary mathematical chemistry. we also show that theseresults are straightforwardly obtained by using...

‎we investigate two constructions‎ - ‎the replacement and the zig-zag‎ ‎product of graphs‎ - ‎describing several fascinating connections‎ ‎with combinatorics‎, ‎via the notion of expander graph‎, ‎group‎ ‎theory‎, ‎via the notion of semidirect product and cayley graph‎, ‎and‎ ‎with markov chains‎, ‎via the lamplighter random walk‎. ‎many examples‎ ‎are provided‎.

in this article a graph theoretical approach is employed to study some specifications of dynamic systems with time delay in the inputs and states, such as structural controllability and observability. first, the zero and non-zero parameters of a proposed system have been determined, next the general structure of the system is presented by a graph which is constructed by non-zero parameters. the...
