A consistent path system in a graph $G$ is an intersection-closed collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. We call $G$ metrizable if every consistent path system in it is the system of geodesic paths…

The strong geodetic number, $\text{sg}(G),$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of vertices such that by fixing one geodesic between each pair of selected vertices, all vertices of the graph are covered. In this paper, the study of the…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) is linear if any two edges intersect at most one vertex. For a graph $F$, a hypergraph $H$ is Berge-$F$ if there is a bijection $\phi:E(F)\rightarrow E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq \phi(e)$ for all $e$ in…

Given a graph $G$, the number of its vertices is represented by $n(G)$, while the number of its edges is denoted as $m(G)$. An independent set in a graph is a set of vertices where no two vertices are adjacent to each other and the size of…

A set D of vertices of a graph G=(V,E) is irredundant if each v of D satisfies (a) v is isolated in the subgraph induced by D, or (b) v is adjacent to a vertex in V-D that is nonadjacent to all other vertices in D. The upper irredundance…

In this paper, we give a criterion of the Gorenstein property of the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph: the Ehrhart ring of the stable set polytope of an h-perfect graph $G$ is Gorenstein if and only if (1) sizes…

A graph $G$ is called \emph{symmetric with respect to a functional $F_G(P)$} defined on the set of all the probability distributions on its vertex set if the distribution $P^*$ maximizing $F_G(P)$ is uniform on $V(G)$. Using the…

A $(q,r)$\emph{-tree-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a $q$-coloring of vertices of $G$ such that the subgraph induced by each color class is a forest of maximum degree at most $r.$ An \emph{equitable $(q, r)$-tree-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a…

An instance of a strongly stable matching problem (SSMP) is an undirected bipartite graph $G=(A \cup B, E)$, with an adjacency list of each vertex being a linearly ordered list of ties, which are subsets of vertices equally good for a given…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a simple, undirected and connected graph. A connected (total) dominating set $S \subseteq V$ is a secure connected (total) dominating set of $G$, if for each $ u \in V \setminus S$, there exists $v \in S$ such that $uv…

For a fixed algebraic variety $X$, curve class $\alpha \in N_1(X)$, and genus $g \in \mathbb N$, we consider the sequence of $S_n$ representations obtained from the homology of the Kontsevich space of stable maps to $X$, $\bar…

$f$-vertex stability number $vs_f(G)=\min\{|X|: X\subseteq V(G) \enspace \text{and} \enspace f(G-X)\neq f(G)\}$, and $f$-edge stability number is defined similarly by setting $X\subseteq E(G)$. In this paper, for multiplicative and mining…

The independence polynomial of a graph is termed {\it stable} if all its roots are located in the left half-plane $\{z \in \mathbb{C} : \mathrm{Re}(z) \leq 0\}$, and the graph itself is also referred to as stable. Brown and Cameron…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex that does not belong to $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. The…

The $k$-token graph $T_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of vertices of a graph $G$, with two vertices of $T_k(G)$ adjacent if their symmetric difference is an edge of $G$. We explore when $T_k(G)$ is a well-covered…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is a graph with group elements as vertex set and two elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The order supergraph $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of the power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is a graph with vertex set…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$. If $V(\Gamma)$ admits a nontrivial $G$-invariant partition ${\cal B}$ such…

Let $G$ be a group and $Z(G)$ be its center. We associate a commuting graph ${\Gamma}(G)$, whose vertex set is $G\setminus Z(G)$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they commute. We say that ${\Gamma}(G)$ is strong $k$ star free if…

The chromatic edge-stability number ${\rm es}_{\chi}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a spanning subgraph $G'$ with $\chi(G')=\chi(G)-1$. Edge-stability critical graphs are introduced as the graphs…

A covariance graph is an undirected graph associated with a multivariate probability distribution of a given random vector where each vertex represents each of the different components of the random vector and where the absence of an edge…
