A graph $G$ is well-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. If furthermore two times this cardinality is equal to $|V(G)|$, the graph $G$ is called very well-covered. The class…

Associated to a simple undirected graph $G$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_G$ whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. A graph $G$ is called vertex decomposable if $\Delta_G$ is a vertex decomposable simplicial complex. We…

We call a (simple) graph G codismantlable if either it has no edges or else it has a codominated vertex x, meaning that the closed neighborhood of x contains that of one of its neighbor, such that G-x codismantlable. We prove that if G is…

Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$. We show that if $G$ is a connected graph with a basic $5$-cycle $C$, then $G$ is a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay graph if and only if there exists a shedding…

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ there is a simplicial complex $\mathrm{Ind}(G)$, called the independence complex, whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. This is a well studied concept because it provides a fertile ground…

Let $G$ be the circulant graph $C_n(S)$ with $S\subseteq\{ 1,\ldots,\left \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\right \rfloor\}$ and let $I(G)$ be its edge ideal in the ring $K[x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1}]$. Under the hypothesis that $n$ is prime we : 1) compute the…

Let G be a simple undirected graph. We find the number of maximal independent sets in complete t-partite graphs. We will show that vertex decomposability and shellability are equivalent in this graphs. Also, we obtain an equivalent…

Inspired by several recent papers on the edge ideal of a graph G, we study the equivalent notion of the independence complex of G. Using the tool of vertex decomposability from geometric combinatorics, we show that 5-chordal graphs with no…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with the vertex set $V$ and let $I_G$ be its edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_V]$. In this paper, we compute the depth and the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of $S/I_G$ when $G=G_1\circ…

Associated to a simple undirected graph G is a simplicial complex whose faces correspond to the independent sets of G. We call a graph G shellable if this simplicial complex is a shellable simplicial complex in the non-pure sense of…

For every simple graph $G$, a class of multiple clique cluster-whiskered graphs $G^{md}$ is introduced, and it is shown that all graphs $G^{md}$ are vertex decomposable, thus the independence simplicial complex ${\rm Ind}\,G^{md}$ is…

In this paper, we explain the regularity, projective dimension and depth of edge ideal of some classes of graphs in terms of invariants of graphs. We show that for a $C_5$-free vertex decomposable graph $G$, $\T{reg}(R/I(G))= c_G$, where…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $I(X_G)=\varphi^{-1}(x_i^2-x_j^2 : i,j\in V_G)$, where $\varphi \colon K[E_G]\to K[V_G]$ is the homomorphism that sends an edge to the product of its vertices. The ideal $I(X_G)$ is Cohen--Macaulay,…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $NI(G)$ be the closed neighborhood ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $S=K[V(G)]$. In this paper, we study the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, projective dimension and Cohen-Macaulayness of this ideal.…

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) \subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the…

There are two motivation questions in \cite{MTS, MTS1} about Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and vertex decomposable of simple graph $G$. In this paper, we disprove the questions by providing of two counterexamples.
