A broadcast on a nontrivial connected graph G is a function f from the vertices of G to the non-negative integers such that f(v) does not exceed e(v) (the eccentricity of v) for each vertex v. If G is disconnected, we define a broadcast on…

In 1986, Brualdi and Solheid firstly proposed the problem of determining the maximum spectral radius of graphs in the set $\mathcal{H}_{n,m}$ consisting of all simple connected graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, which is a very tough…

The packing chromatic number $\chi_{\rho}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that there exists a $k$-vertex coloring of $G$ in which any two vertices receiving color $i$ are at distance at least $i+1$. In this short note we…

For two integers $r\geq 2$ and $h\geq 0$, the $h$-extra $r$-component connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $c\kappa_{r}^{h}$, is defined as the minimum number of vertices whose removal produces a disconnected graph with at least $r$…

A packing $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of $V(G)$ into sets $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ such that for each $1\leq i\leq k$ the distance between any two distinct $x,y\in V_i$ is at least $i+1$. The packing chromatic number, $\chi_p(G)$, of…

For an undirected, simple, finite, connected graph $G$, we denote by $V(G)$ and $E(G)$ the sets of its vertices and edges, respectively. A function $\varphi:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,...,t\}$ is called a proper edge $t$-coloring of a graph $G$,…

Let $\mathbb{G}_{n,\gamma}$ be the set of simple and connected graphs on $n$ vertices and with domination number $\gamma$. The graph with minimum spectral radius among $\mathbb{G}_{n,\gamma}$ is called the minimizer graph. In this paper, we…

A broadcast on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a function $f:V \rightarrow \{0,1, \ldots, \text{diam}(G)\}$ satisfying $f(v) \leq e(v)$ for all $v \in V$, where $e(v)$ denotes the eccentricity of $v$ and $\text{diam}(G)$ denotes the diameter of $G$.…

We establish exact values for the $2$-limited broadcast domination number of various grid graphs, in particular $C_m\square C_n$ for $3 \leq m \leq 6$ and all $n\geq m$, $P_m \square C_3$ for all $m \geq 3$, and $P_m \square C_n$ for $4\leq…

Let $G$, $H$ and $K$ represent three graphs without loops or parallel edges and $n$ represent an integer. Given any red blue coloring of the edges of $G$, we say that $K \rightarrow (G,H)$, if there exists red copy of $G$ in $K$ or a blue…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph, where $V(G)$ and $E(G)$ are the vertex set and the edge set of $G$, respectively. The number of components of $G$ is denoted by $c(G)$. Let $t$ be a positive real number, and a connected graph $G$ is…

The distance $d(u,v)$ between the vertices $u$ and $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as the number of edges in a minimal path connecting them. The \emph{transmission} of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is defined by $\sigma(v)=\sum\limits_{u\in…

A hole of a simple connected graph $G$ is a chordless cycle $C_n,$ where $n \in \Bbb N, n \geq 4,$ in the graph $G$. The girth of a simple connected graph $G$ is the smallest cycle in $G$, if any such cycle exists. It can be observed that…
