Let G be a graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and diagonal matrix of degree $D(G)$. For every $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN17} defined the matrix $A_\alpha(G) = \alpha D(G) + (1-\alpha)A(G)$. In this paper we present…

The double graph of a graph $G$ is defined as $\mathcal{D}[G]$ = $G \times T_2$, where \(T_2\) is the total graph with 2 vertices and $\times$ stands for the Kronecker product of graphs. In this paper, sufficient conditions for double…

A 2-hued coloring of a graph $G$ (also known as conditional $(k, 2)$-coloring and dynamic coloring) is a coloring such that for every vertex $v\in V(G)$ of degree at least $2$, the neighbors of $v$ receive at least $2$ colors. The smallest…

A function $f$ of a graph is called a complete graph invariant if the isomorphism of graphs $G$ and $H$ is equivalent to the equality $f(G)=f(H)$. If, in addition, $f(G)$ is a graph isomorphic to $G$, then $f$ is called a canonical form for…

A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$ is called a $k$-factor. Fan, Lin and Lu [European J. Combin. 110 (2023) 103701] presented a tight sufficient condition in terms of the spectral radius for a connected 1-tough graph to contain a…

The domination number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\gamma (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. A vertex of a graph is called critical if its deletion decreases the domination number, and a graph is called critical if…

We call a set $\mathcal S$ of graphs an "even subdivison-factor" of a cubic graph $G$ if $G$ contains a spanning subgraph $H$ such that every component of $H$ has an even number of vertices and is a subdivision of an element of $\mathcal…

The domatic number of a graph is the maximum number of vertex disjoint dominating sets that partition the vertex set of the graph. In this paper we consider the fractional variant of this notion. Graphs with fractional domatic number 1 are…

If $G$ is a more than one tough graph on $n$ vertices with $\delta\ge \frac{n}{2}-a$ for a given $a>0$ and $n$ is large enough then $G$ is hamiltonian.

In this paper, we give the following result: If $D$ is a digraph of order $n$, and if $d_{D}^{+}(u) + d_{D}^{-}(v) \ge n$ for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ with $(u, v) \notin A(D)$, then $D$ has a directed $2$-factor with exactly…

How to efficiently represent a graph in computer memory is a fundamental data structuring question. In the present paper, we address this question from a combinatorial point of view. A representation of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is called…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$. A $\{P_{2},C_{3},P_{5},\mathcal{T}(3)\}$-factor of $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ such that each component is isomorphic to a member in $\{P_{2},C_{3},P_{5},\mathcal{T}(3)\}$, where…

A $1$-factor in an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a collection of $\frac{n}{2}$ vertex-disjoint edges and a $1$-factorization of $G$ is a partition of its edges into edge-disjoint $1$-factors. Clearly, a $1$-factorization of $G$ cannot exist…

A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a 2-labeling of its vertices which is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We show that every locally finite graph with infinite motion and growth at most…

A 2-edge-coloured graph $G$ is called {\bf locally complete} if for each vertex $v$, the vertices adjacent to $v$ through edges of the same colour induce a complete subgraph in $G$. Locally complete 2-edge-coloured graphs have nice…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-universal if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. For the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices and of maximum degree at most…

A graph $\Ga$ is $G$-symmetric if $\Ga$ admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of vertices and the set of arcs of $\Ga$, where an arc is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices. In the case when $G$ is…

A graph $G$ is called $k$-factor-critical if $G-S$ has a perfect matching for every $S\subseteq G$ with $|S|=k$. A connected graph $G$ is called $t$-connected if it has more than $t$ vertices and remains connected whenever fewer than $t$…

A graph property is a function $\Phi$ that maps every graph to {0, 1} and is invariant under isomorphism. In the $\#IndSub(\Phi)$ problem, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to count the number of $k$-vertex induced subgraphs…

Subgraph Isomorphism is a very basic graph problem, where given two graphs $G$ and $H$ one is to check whether $G$ is a subgraph of $H$. Despite its simple definition, the Subgraph Isomorphism problem turns out to be very broad, as it…
