A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a $2$-dominating set if every vertex of $G$ not in $S$ is adjacent to at least two vertices in $S$, and $S$ is a $2$-independent set if every vertex in $S$ is adjacent to at most one vertex of $S$.…

Nonlocal metric dimension ${\rm dim}_{\rm n\ell}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is introduced as the cardinality of a smallest nonlocal resolving set, that is, a set of vertices which resolves each pair of non-adjacent vertices of $G$. Graphs $G$ with…

A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…

A fullerene graph is a cubic bridgeless plane graph with all faces of size 5 and 6. We show that that every fullerene graph on n vertices can be made bipartite by deleting at most sqrt{12n/5} edges, and has an independent set with at least…

A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is 2 but the removal of any edge increases the diameter. A well-studied conjecture, known as the Murty-Simon conjecture, states that any diameter-2-critical graph of order n has at most…

We call a bipartite graph {\it homogeneous} if every finite partial automorphism which respects left and right can be extended to a total automorphism. A $(\kappa,{\lambda} )$ bipartite graph is a bipartite graph with left side of size…

A graph is prime (with respect to the split decomposition) if its vertex set does not admit a partition (A,B) (called a split) with |A|, |B| >= 2 such that the set of edges joining A and B induces a complete bipartite graph. We prove that…

Let $\mathbf{\Gamma} = (V,E)$ be a (non-trivial) finite graph with $\lambda: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}$, an edge labelling of $\mathbf{\Gamma}$. Let $\rho : V\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a map which preserves the edge labelling. The…

A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The lexicographic product of…

We show that, given an infinite cardinal $\mu$, a graph has colouring number at most $\mu$ if and only if it contains neither of two types of subgraph. We also show that every graph with infinite colouring number has a well-ordering of its…

In a graph G, cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) is the (vertex) metric dimension of G. Similarly, the cardinality of such a set is the edge metric dimension of G, if it…

A graph $G$ is said to be $2$-divisible if for all (nonempty) induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A,B$ such that $\omega(A) < \omega(H)$ and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called a 2-distance coloring if any two vertices at distance at most $2$ from each other receive different colors. Let $G$ be a planar graph with girth at least $5$. We prove that $G$ admits a…

Let G be a simple finite graph such that each vertex has an integer value and different vertices have different values. Let S be a finite non-empty set of primes. We call G an S-graph if any two vertices are connected by an edge if and only…

An $acyclic$ edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycle s. The \emph{acyclic chromatic index} of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic e dge coloring using k colors…

The distinguishing number of a graph G, denoted D(G), is the minimum number of colors such that there exists a coloring of the vertices of G where no nontrivial graph automorphism is color-preserving. In this paper, we show that the…

The colouring number col(G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k for which there is an ordering of the vertices of G such that when removing the vertices of G in the specified order no vertex of degree more than k-1 in the remaining graph…

A locating-dominating set of a graph $G$ is a dominating set $D$ of $G$ with the additional property that every two distinct vertices outside $D$ have distinct neighbors in $D$; that is, for distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ outside $D$, $N(u)…

The distinguishing index $D'(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least number $k$ such that $\Gamma$ has an edge-coloring with $k$ colors preserved only by the trivial automorphism. In this paper we prove that if the automorphism group of a…
