The metric representation of a vertex $u$ in a connected graph $G$ respect to an ordered vertex subset $W=\{\omega_1, \dots , \omega_n\}\subset V(G)$ is the vector of distances $r(u\vert W)=(d(u,\omega_1), \dots , d(u,\omega_n))$. A vertex…

The eccentricity matrix $\varepsilon(G)$ of a graph $G$ is constructed from the distance matrix of $G$ by keeping only the largest distances for each row and each column. This matrix can be interpreted as the opposite of the adjacency…

The Wiener index is maximized over the set of trees with the given vertex weight and degree sequences. This model covers the traditional "unweighed" Wiener index, the terminal Wiener index, and the vertex distance index. It is shown that…

For an ordered set $W=\{w_1,w_2,...,w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, the ordered $k$-vector $r(v|W):=(d(v,w_1),d(v,w_2),.,d(v,w_k))$ is called the (metric) representation of $v$ with respect to $W$, where…

In an oriented graph $\vec{G}$, the {\it inversion} of a subset $X$ of vertices consists in reversing the orientation of all arcs with both endvertices in $X$. The {\it $(\leq p)$-inversion graph} of a labelled graph $G$, denoted by…

This work presents a discovery to advance the wisdom in a particular Succinct Data Structure: Wavelet Tree (Grossi, Gupta, and Vitter 2003). The discovery is first made by showing the feasibility of Reversed Indexes = Values: for integers…

A topological index reflects the physical, chemical and structural properties of a molecule, and its study has an important role in molecular topology, chemical graph theory and mathematical chemistry. It is a natural problem to…

A radio labeling of a graph $G$ is a mapping $f: V(G) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, \ldots\}$ such that $|f(u)-f(v)|\geq d + 1 - d(u,v)$ for every pair of distinct vertices $u, v$ of $G$, where $d$ is the diameter of $G$ and $d(u,v)$ the distance…

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 and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the Steiner distance…

For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $S\subseteq V(G)$, the \emph{Steiner distance} $d_G(S)$ among the vertices of $S$ is the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain $S$. In this paper, we…

A vertex subset of a graph is called a distance-$k$ independent set if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal…

Rotation distances measure the differences in structure between rooted ordered binary trees. The one-dimensional skeleta of associahedra are rotation graphs, where two vertices representing trees are connected by an edge if they differ by a…

Let D(G) be the smallest quantifier depth of a first order formula which is true for a graph G but false for any other non-isomorphic graph. This can be viewed as a measure for the first order descriptive complexity of G. We will show that…

Distance matrices of some star like graphs are investigated in \cite{JAK}. These graphs are trees which are stars, wheel graphs, helm graphs and gear graphs. Except for gear graphs in the above list of star like graphs, there are precise…

We establish several contraction formulas for Kirchhoff index. We relate Kirchhoff index with some other metrized graph invariants. By applying our contraction formulas successively when the graph is a tree, we derive new formulas for…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple, unweighted, connected graph. Let $d(u,v)$ denote the distance between vertices $u,v$. A resolving set of $G$ is a subset $S$ of $V$ such that knowing the distance from a vertex $v$ to every vertex in $S$ uniquely…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be odd (or even, resp.) if $d_G(v)$ is odd (or even, resp.) for any $v\in V$. Trivially, the order of an odd graph must be even. In this paper, we show that every 4-edge connected graph of even order has a…

A directed network connecting a set A to a set B is a digraph containing an a-b path for each a in A and b in B. Vertices in the directed network not in A or B are called Steiner points. We show that in a finitely compact metric space in…

Teminal Wiener index is one of the commonly used topological index in mathematical chemistry. If two or more chemical compounds have the same terminal Wiener index then they will have similar physico-chemical properties. In this work we…

One of the classical topics in graph Ramsey theory is the study of which $n$-vertex graphs have Ramsey numbers that are linear in $n$. In this paper, we consider this problem in the context of directed graphs. The oriented Ramsey number of…
