The zero locus of a function f on a graph G is defined as the graph with vertex set consisting of all complete subgraphs of G, on which f changes sign and where x,y are connected if one is contained in the other. For d-graphs, finite simple…

Let $G$ be a nonempty simple graph with a vertex set $V(G)$ and an edge set $E(G)$. For every injective vertex labeling $f:V(G)\to\mathbb{Z}$, there are two induced edge labelings, namely $f^+:E(G)\to\mathbb{Z}$ defined by…

For a non-empty ground set $X$, finite or infinite, the {\em set-valuation} or {\em set-labeling} of a given graph $G$ is an injective function $f:V(G) \to \mathcal{P}(X)$, where $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is the power set of the set $X$. A…

The Wiener index of a graph $W(G)$ is a well studied topological index for graphs. An outstanding problem of \v{S}olt{\'e}s is to find graphs $G$ such that $W(G)=W(G-v)$ for all vertices $v\in V(G)$, with the only known example being…
