Very recently, the first geometric-arithmetic index $GA$ and arithmetic-geometric index $AG$ were introduced in mathematical chemistry. In the present paper, we first obtain some lower and upper bounds on $AG$ and characterize the extremal…

Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…

The F-index of a graph is defined as the sum of cubes of the vertex degrees of the graph which was introduced in 1972, in the same paper where the first and second Zagreb indices were introduced. In this paper we study the F-index of four…

Given an integer $k\ge1$, an edge-$k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of $k$ colors $1,\ldots,k$ to the edges of $G$ such that no two adjacent edges receive the same color. A vertex-distinguishing (resp. sum-distinguishing)…

The imbalance of an edge $e=\{u,v\}$ in a graph is defined as $i(e)=|d(u)-d(v)|$, where $d(\cdot)$ is the vertex degree. The irregularity $I(G)$ of $G$ is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. This concept was…

The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of the distances between all pairs of vertices, it has been one of the main descriptors that correlate achemical compound's molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound's…

The fixing number of a graph $G$ is the order of the smallest subset $S$ of its vertex set $V(G)$ such that stabilizer of $S$ in $G$, $\Gamma_{S}(G)$ is trivial. Let $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let…

The Wiener index of a (hyper)graph is calculated by summing up the distances between all pairs of vertices. We determine the maximum possible Wiener index of a connected $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph and characterize for every~$n$ all…

A total colouring of a graph is a colouring of its vertices and edges such that no two adjacent vertices or edges have the same colour and moreover, no edge coloured $c$ has its endvertex coloured $c$ too. A weak total Thue colouring of a…

A complex unit gain graph ($ \mathbb{T} $-gain graph), $ \Phi=(G, \varphi) $ is a graph where the gain function $ \varphi $ assigns a unit complex number to each orientation of an edge of $ G $ and its inverse is assigned to the opposite…

A \emph{proper $t$-edge-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\alpha: E(G)\rightarrow \{1,\ldots,t\}$ such that all colors are used, and $\alpha(e)\neq \alpha(e^{\prime})$ for every pair of adjacent edges $e,e^{\prime}\in E(G)$. If $\alpha…

A weighted digraph is balanced if the sums of the weights of the incoming and of the outgoing edges are equal at each vertex. We show that if these sums are integers, then the edge weights can be integers as well.

For an undirected, simple, finite, connected graph $G$, we denote by $V(G)$ and $E(G)$ the sets of its vertices and edges, respectively. A function $\varphi:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,...,t\}$ is called a proper edge $t$-coloring of a graph $G$,…

We introduce the general Albertson irregularity index of a connected graph $G$ and define it as $A_{p}(G) =(\sum_{uv\in E(G)}|d(u)-d(v)|^p)^{\frac{1}{p}}$, where $p$ is a positive real number and $d(v)$ is the degree of the vertex $v$ in…

The edge-hyper-Wiener index of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $WW_e(G) = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{\lbrace e,f\rbrace \subseteq E(G)}d(e,f) + \frac{1}{2}\sum_{\lbrace e,f\rbrace \subseteq E(G)}d(e,f)^2$. We develop a method for computing the…

The convex hull of the set of the incidence vectors of the matchings of a graph G is the matching polytope of the graph, M(G). The graph whose vertices and edges are the vertices and edges of M(G) is the skeleton of the matching polytope of…

A signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is a graph positive and negative ($\Sigma $ denotes the set of negative edges). To re-sign a vertex $v$ of a signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is to switch the signs of the edges incident to $v$. If one can obtain $…

Let $\G(v,e)$ be the set of all simple graphs with $v$ vertices and $e$ edges and let $P_2(G)=\sum d_i^2$ denote the sum of the squares of the degrees, $d_1, >..., d_v$, of the vertices of $G$. It is known that the maximum value of $P_2(G)$…

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…
