An arc of a graph is an oriented edge and a 3-arc is a 4-tuple $(v,u,x,y)$ of vertices such that both $(v,u,x)$ and $(u,x,y)$ are paths of length two. The 3-arc graph of a graph $G$ is defined to have vertices the arcs of $G$ such that two…

The 3-arc graph of a digraph $D$ is defined to have vertices the arcs of $D$ such that two arcs $uv, xy$ are adjacent if and only if $uv$ and $xy$ are distinct arcs of $D$ with $v\ne x$, $y\ne u$ and $u,x$ adjacent. We prove that Hadwiger's…

For a graph $G$, the central graph $C(G)$ is the graph constructed from $G$ by subdividing each edge of $G$ with one vertex and also by adding an edge to every pair of non-adjacent vertices in $G$. Also for a graph $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ and…

Consider two horizontal lines in the plane. A pair of a point on the top line and an interval on the bottom line defines a triangle between two lines. The intersection graph of such triangles is called a simple-triangle graph. This paper…

Given a graph G, of arbitrary size and unbounded vertex degree, denote by |G| the one-complex associated with $G$. The topological space |G| is n-arc connected (n-ac) if every set of no more than n points of |G| are contained in an arc (a…

In this paper, we introduce and study a new distance parameter {\it triameter} of a connected graph $G$, which is defined as $max\{d(u,v)+d(v,w)+d(u,w): u,v,w \in V\}$ and is denoted by $tr(G)$. We find various upper and lower bounds on…

A 3-tournament is a complete 3-uniform hypergraph where each edge has a special vertex designated as its tail. A vertex set $X$ dominates $T$ if every vertex not in $X$ is contained in an edge whose tail is in $X$. The domination number of…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a dominating set, if every vertex in $V(G)\backslash S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The $k$-dominating graph of $G$, $D_k (G)$, is defined to be the graph whose vertices…

The dominating graph of a graph G is a graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of G and two vertices are adjacent whenever their corresponding dominating sets differ in exactly one vertex. Studying properties of dominating…

For a simple graph $G$, the $3$-distance graph, $D_3(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $3$ in the graph $G$. For a connected graph $G$, we provide some conditions for…

A set of vertices of a graph $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ is either in the set or is adjacent to a vertex in the set is called a dominating set of $G$. If additionally, the set of vertices induces a connected subgraph of $G$ then the…

A \emph{directional labeling} of an edge $\emph{uv}$ in a graph $G=(V,E)$ by an ordered pair $ab$ is a labeling of the edge $uv$ such that the label on $uv$ in the direction from $u$ to $v$ is $\ell(uv)=ab$, and $\ell(vu)=ba$. New…

In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V is dominated by at least one vertex in S. The domination number gamma G is the minimum cardinality of a…

A sequence of vertices $(v_1,\, \dots , \,v_k)$ of a graph $G$ is called a {\it dominating closed neighborhood sequence} if $\{v_1,\, \dots , \,v_k\}$ is a dominating set of $G$ and $N[v_i]\nsubseteq \cup _{j=1}^{i-1} N[v_j]$ for every $i$.…

The $k$-dominating graph $D_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined on the vertex set consisting of dominating sets of $G$ with cardinality at most $k$, two such sets being adjacent if they differ by either adding or deleting a single vertex. A…

Given a graph G=(V, E), a vertex is said to ve-dominate an edge if it is either incident with the edge or adjacent to one of its endpoints. A set of vertices is a ve-dominating set if it ve-dominates every edge of the graph. We introduce…

In a RAC drawing of a graph, vertices are represented by points in the plane, adjacent vertices are connected by line segments, and crossings must form right angles. Graphs that admit such drawings are RAC graphs. RAC graphs are…
