Every monomial ideal $I$ has a Scarf complex, which is a subcomplex of its minimal free resolution. We say that $I$ is Scarf if its Scarf complex is also its minimal free resolution. In this paper, we fully characterize all pairs $(G,n)$ of…

The present work is concerned with characterizing some algebraic invariants of edge ideals of hypergraphs. To this aim, firstly, we introduce some kinds of combinatorial invariants similar to matching numbers for hypergraphs. Then we…

A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is \emph{distinguishing} if the sets of neighbors in $S$ for every pair of vertices not in $S$ are distinct. A \emph{locating-dominating set} of $G$ is a dominating distinguishing set. The…

To directed graphs with unique sink and source we associate a noncommutative associative alsgebra and a polynomial over this algebra. Edges of the graph correspond to pseudo-roots of the polynomial. We give a sufficient condition when…

A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the number of domination sets of each cardinality in $G$, and its…

Say that an edge of a graph G dominates itself and every other edge adjacent to it. An edge dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) is a subset of edges E' of E which dominates all edges of G. In particular, if every edge of G is dominated by…

In this paper, our goal is to characterize two graph classes based on the properties of minimal vertex (edge) separators. We first present a structural characterization of graphs in which every minimal vertex separator is a stable set. We…

Motivated by the concept of well-covered graphs, we define a graph to be well-bicovered if every vertex-maximal bipartite subgraph has the same order (which we call the bipartite number). We first give examples of them, compare them with…
