A balanced colouring of a graph G is a colouring of some of the vertices of G with two colours, say red and blue, such that there is the same number of vertices in each colour. The balanced decomposition number f(G) of G is the minimum integer s with the following property: For any balanced colouring of G, there is a partition V (G) = V1 ∪̇ · · · ∪̇Vr such that, for every i, Vi induces a connecte...

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 $2$ ...

For a graph property P, the edit distance of a graph G from P, denoted EP(G), is the minimum number of edge modifications (additions or deletions) one needs to apply to G in order to turn it into a graph satisfying P. What is the largest possible edit distance of a graph on n vertices from P? Denote this distance by ed(n,P). A graph property is hereditary if it is closed under removal of vertic...

We consider only finite undirected graphs without loops or multiple edges. Notation and terminology not defined here follow that in [2]. For a graph G = (V, E), n := |V |, e := |E|, and G := (V, E), where E := { xy : x ∈ V, y ∈ V, x = y, xy ∈ E }. For a bipartite graph GBPT = (X, Y ; E), GBPT := (X, Y ; E ), where E := { xy : x ∈ X, y ∈ Y, xy ∈ E }. The degree of vertex vi is denoted by di. The...

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...

Let n 1 be an integer. The hypercube Qn is the graph whose vertex set isf0;1gn, where two n-tuples are adjacent if they differ in precisely one coordinate. This graph has many applications in Computer sciences and other area of sciences. Inthe graph Qn, the layer Lk is the set of vertices with exactly k 1’s, namely, vertices ofweight k, 1 k n. The hyper-star graph B(n;k) is...

the edge versions of reverse wiener indices were introduced by mahmiani et al. veryrecently. in this paper, we find their relation with ordinary (vertex) wiener index in somegraphs. also, we compute them for trees and tuc4c8(s) naotubes.
