The \emph{determinant Hosoya triangle}, is a triangular array where the entries are the determinants of two-by-two Fibonacci matrices. The determinant Hosoya triangle $\bmod \,2$ gives rise to three infinite families of graphs, that are…
The Hosoya polynomial of a graph encompasses many of its metric properties, for instance the Wiener index (alias average distance) and the hyper-Wiener index. An expression is obtained that reduces the computation of the Hosoya polynomials…
It has been known that the Hosoya index of caterpillar graph can be calculated as the numerator of the simple continued fraction. Recently, the author \cite{Komatsu2020} introduces a more general graph called caterpillar-bond graph and…
The paper presents a systematic construction of primitive Pythagorean triples. The order of enumeration on the set of primitive Pythagorean triples is defined. The order is based on the representation of a primitive Pythagorean triple by…
The traditional construction of primitive Pythagorean triples by the formulas of two independent variables does not allow their ordering. The paper shows a new view on the construction of primitive Pythagorean triples. A method for…
A caterpillar tree is a connected, acyclic, graph in which all vertices are either a member of a central path, or joined to that central path by a single edge. In other words, caterpillar trees are the class of trees which become path…
It is well-known that pythagorean triples can be represented by points of the unit circle with rational coordinates. These points form an abelian group, and we describe its structure. This structural description yields, almost immediately,…
A matching complex of a simple graph $G$ is a simplicial complex with faces given by the matchings of $G$. The topology of matching complexes is mysterious; there are few graphs for which the homotopy type is known. Marietti and Testa…
The energy $En(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. The Hosoya index $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the number of independent edge subsets of $G$, including the empty set. For any given degree…
The Pythagorean triples have the structure of a ternary rooted tree; the tree is based on the Cayley graph of a free subgroup of the modular group
Much information about a graph can be obtained by studying its spanning trees. On the other hand, a graph can be regarded as a 1-dimensional cell complex, raising the question of developing a theory of trees in higher dimension. As observed…
In a recent series of papers, Hosoya drew the attention to a particular aspect of constructing cospectral graphs by using coalescences: that cospectral graphs can be constructed by attaching multiple copies of a rooted graph in different…
A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices of diameter $D$ is called $H$-palindromic if $\alpha(G,k) = \alpha(G,D-k)$ for all $k=0, 1, \dots, \left \lfloor{\frac{D}{2}}\right \rfloor$, where $\alpha(G,k)$ is the number of unordered pairs of vertices at…
The power graph denoted by $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{G})$ of a finite group $\mathcal{G}$ is a graph with vertex set $\mathcal{G}$ and there is an edge between two distinct elements $u, v \in \mathcal{G}$ if and only if $u^m = v$ or $v^m = u$…
In this paper, topological indices play a significant role in the analysis of caterpillar trees, especially due to their applications in chemical graph theory. We presented a study on topological indices related to the Sigma index, which we…
A graph $G$ is said to be Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. In this work, we investigate the Hamiltonian completeness of certain classes of caterpillar graphs, which are trees with a central path to which all other vertices are…
For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is said to be {\it $\mathcal{H}$-free} if $G$ contains no member of $\mathcal{H}$ as an induced subgraph. We let $\tilde{\mathcal{G}}_{3}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the family of connected…
A Pythagorean triple is a triple of positive integers $(x,y,z)$ such that $x^2+y^2=z^2$. If $x,y$ are coprime and $x$ is odd, then it is called a primitive Pythagorean triple. Berggren showed that every primitive Pythagorean triple can be…
The hierarchical structure of the butterfly fractal -- the Hofstader butterfly, is found to be described by an octonary tree. In this framework of building the butterfly graph, every iteration generates sextuplets of butterflies, each with…
We classify the ultrahomogeneous complete 3-edge-coloured graphs (3-graphs) with simple theory. This extends Lachlan's result (a corollary of the Effective Classification Theorem for stable structures) classifying the stable homogeneous…
