A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the smallest size of…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored connected graph. A path $P$ in $G$ is called a distance $\ell$-proper path if no two edges of the same color appear with fewer than $\ell$ edges in between on $P$. The graph $G$ is called $(k,\ell)$-proper…

We analyse graphs in which each vertex is assigned random coordinates in a geometric space of arbitrary dimensionality and only edges between adjacent points are present. The critical connectivity is found numerically by examining the size…

The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathcal{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with $d$ labels so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. The smallest such $d$ is the distinguishing number, Dist($G$). A subset of…

A $\textit{sigma partitioning}$ of a graph $G$ is a partition of the vertices into sets $P_1, \ldots, P_k$ such that for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ there is an index $i$ such that $u$ and $v$ have different numbers of neighbors…

The domatic number of a graph $G$, denoted $dom(G)$, is the maximum possible cardinality of a family of disjoint sets of vertices of $G$, each set being a dominating set of $G$. It is well known that every graph without isolated vertices…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$ is in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The domination number…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph is a \emph{proper tree} if any two adjacent edges of $T$ are colored with different colors. Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and $k$ be a fixed integer with $2\leq k\leq n$. For a vertex set $S\subseteq…

A partition $\Sigma = \{S_1, S_2, \dots, S_k\}$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ is a resolving partition if every pair of distinct vertices in $G$ has a unique representation relative to $\Sigma$. The partition dimension, $pd(G)$, is the minimum…

We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…

A set of vertices $W$ of a graph $G$ is a total $k$-dominating set when every vertex of $G$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $W$. In a recent article, Chiarelli et al.\ (Improved Algorithms for $k$-Domination and Total $k$-Domination in Proper…

A unit cube in $k$ dimensional space (or \emph{$k$-cube} in short) is defined as the Cartesian product $R_1\times R_2\times...\times R_k$ where $R_i$(for $1\leq i\leq k$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i,a_i+1]$ on the real line. A…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$.The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…

Let $G$ be a simple $n$-vertex graph and $W\subseteq\V(G)$. We say that $W$ is a $\delta_k$-small set if $$ \sqrt[k]{\frac{\sum_{v\in W}d^k(v)}{\abs W}}\leq n-\abs W. $$ Let $\varphi^{(k)}(G)$ denote the smallest natural number $r$ such…

Let $G$ be a graph with edge set $E(G)$. Denote by $d_w$ the degree of a vertex $w$ of $G$. The sigma index of $G$ is defined as $\sum_{uv\in E(G)}(d_u-d_v)^2$. A connected graph of order $n$ and size $n+k-1$ is known as a connected…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected and vertex-colored graph. A subset $X$ of the vertex set of $G$ is called rainbow if any two vertices in $X$ have distinct colors. The graph $G$ is called \emph{rainbow vertex-disconnected} if for any two…

For non-negative integers~$k$, we consider graphs in which every vertex has exactly $k$ vertices at distance~$2$, i.e., graphs whose distance-$2$ graphs are $k$-regular. We call such graphs $k$-metamour-regular motivated by the terminology…

For a graph $G$, $k(G)$ denotes its connectivity. A graph is super connected if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex. Also $k_{1}$-connectivity of a connected graph is the minimum number of vertices whose deletion gives a disconnected…

An independent set of size $k$ in a finite undirected graph $G$ is a set of $k$ vertices of the graph, no two of which are connected by an edge. Let $x_{k}(G)$ be the number of independent sets of size $k$ in the graph $G$ and let…
