Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring $c:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,q\},$ $q\in \mathbb{N}$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree $T$ in $G$ is called a $rainbow~tree$ if no two edges of $T$ receive…
We associate a signed digraph with a list of matrices whose dimensions permit them to be multiplied, and whose product is square. Cycles in this graph have a parity, that is, they are either even (termed e-cycles) or odd (termed o-cycles).…
The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…
We complete the determination of the signed graphs for which the adjacency matrix has all but at most two eigenvalues equal to $\pm 1$. The unsigned graphs and the disconnected, the bipartite and the complete signed graphs with this…
This paper is devoted to a detailed study of nowhere-zero flows on signed eulerian graphs. We generalise the well-known fact about the existence of nowhere-zero $2$-flows in eulerian graphs by proving that every signed eulerian graph that…
We introduce new sufficient conditions for intrinsic knotting and linking. A graph on n vertices with at least 4n-9 edges is intrinsically linked. A graph on n vertices with at least 5n-14 edges is intrinsically knotted. We also classify…
We consider three probability measures on subsets of edges of a given finite graph $G$, namely those which govern, respectively, a uniform forest, a uniform spanning tree, and a uniform connected subgraph. A conjecture concerning the…
An ILD-set in a connected graph is a subset $S$ of vertices such that it is both independent and locating-dominating. The independent locating-dominating number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of an ILD-set set of $G$. A well-known…
Let ${\rm Z}(G)$ and ${\rm gp}(G)$ be the zero forcing number and the general position number of a graph $G$, respectively. Known results imply that ${\rm gp}(T)\ge {\rm Z}(T) + 1$ holds for every nontrivial tree $T$. It is proved that the…
A nut graph is a simple graph of order 2 or more for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry (i.e. are full). It is shown by construction that every finite group…
We introduce a notion of a girth-regular graph as a $k$-regular graph for which there exists a non-descending sequence $(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k)$ (called the signature) giving, for every vertex $u$ of the graph, the number of girth cycles the…
An edge of a graph of order $n$ is pancyclic if it lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. A graph of order $n$ is vertex-pancyclic if every vertex lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. Recently, Li and Zhan proved that every…
We study higher-dimensional analogues of graph-theoretic trees within the class of pure n-simplicial complexes. Focusing on the case m = n-1 in Dewdney's (m, n)-tree framework, we introduce refined notions of path and circuit sequences that…
Over all graphs (or unicyclic graphs) of a given order, we characterise those graphs that minimise or maximise the number of connected induced subgraphs. For each of these classes, we find that the graphs that minimise the number of…
We call a graph $G$ pancyclic if it contains at least one cycle of every possible length $m$, for $3\le m\le |V(G)|$. In this paper, we define a new property called chorded pancyclicity. We explore forbidden subgraphs in claw-free graphs…
The $(n-\ell)$-deck of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of subgraphs obtained from it by deleting $\ell$ vertices. A family of $n$-vertex graphs is $\ell$-recognizable if every graph having the same $(n-\ell)$-deck as a graph in the…
Graph is considered neutral if its assortativity coefficient $r$ is equal to zero. In this paper, we address an outstanding conjecture, i.e., whether is there a neutral graph on $n$ vertices? First, we show that for $n\geq7$, there is at…
We consider unitary graphs attached to Z_d^n using an analogue of the Euclidean distance. These graphs are shown to be integral when n is odd or the dimension d is even.
We study the metric dimension (strong and weak) of infinite graphs. In particular, our main interest is characterizing infinite graphs with finite dimension. Our main results: (1) graphs with more than one end have infinite strong…
In this paper, we study commutative zero-divisor semigroups determined by graphs. We prove a uniqueness theorem for a class of graphs. We show two classes of graphs that have no corresponding semigroups. In particular, any complete graph…
