Erd\H{o}s, Pach, Pollack, and Tuza [\textit{J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 47(1) (1989), 73-79}] proved that the diameter of a connected $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $\delta$ is at most $\frac{3n}{\delta+1}+O(1)$. The oriented diameter…

Foucaud et al. [Discrete Appl. Math. 319 (2022), 424-438] recently introduced and initiated the study of a new graph-theoretic concept in the area of network monitoring. For a set $M$ of vertices and an edge $e$ of a graph $G$, let $P(M,…

We perform a detailed statistical study of the distribution of topological and spectral indices on random graphs $G=(V,E)$ in a wide range of connectivity regimes. First, we consider degree-based topological indices (TIs), and focus on two…

In this work, we initiate the study of fault tolerant Max Cut, where given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, the goal is to find a cut $S\subseteq V$ that maximizes the total weight of edges that cross $S$ even after an adversary…

A tolled walk $T$ between two non-adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ in a graph $G$ is a walk, in which $u$ is adjacent only to the second vertex of $T$ and $v$ is adjacent only to the second-to-last vertex of $T$. A toll interval between…

The twin-width of a graph $G$ is the minimum integer $d$ such that $G$ has a $d$-contraction sequence, that is, a sequence of $|V(G)|-1$ iterated vertex identifications for which the overall maximum number of red edges incident to a single…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained popularity in numerous domains, yet they are vulnerable to backdoor attacks that can compromise their performance and ethical application. The detection of these attacks is crucial for maintaining…

The edge-fault-tolerance of networks is of great significance to the design and maintenance of networks. For any pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ of the connected graph $G$, if they are connected by $\min \{ \deg_G(u),\deg_G(v)\}$ edge-disjoint…

It is well known that the spectral radius of a tree whose maximum degree is $D$ cannot exceed $2\sqrt{D-1}$. In this paper we derive similar bounds for arbitrary planar graphs and for graphs of bounded genus. It is proved that a the…

The variation of the Randi\'c index $ R'(G) $ of a graph $G$ is defined by\ $R(G) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)}\frac 1{\max \{d(u) d(v)\}}$, where $d(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$ and the summation extends over all edges $uv$ of $G$. Let $G(k,n)$…

A subset $F$ of edges in a connected graph $G$ is a $h$-extra edge-cut if $G-F$ is disconnected and every component has more than $h$ vertices. The $h$-extra edge-connectivity $\la^{(h)}(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum cardinality over…

Consider the family of all finite graphs with maximum degree $\Delta(G)<d$ and matching number $\nu(G)<m$. In this paper we give a new proof to obtain the exact upper bound for the number of edges in such graphs and also characterize all…

For a graph $G$, let $\tau(G)$ denote the number of spanning trees. We show that for every fixed $0 < c < 1/4$, the number of distinct values of $\tau(G)$, as $G$ ranges over simple graphs on $n$ vertices, is at least $\exp(c n \log n)$ for…

The dominance complex $D(G)$ of a simple graph $G = (V,E)$ is the simplicial complex consisting of the subsets of $V$ whose complements are dominating. We show that the connectivity of $D(G)$ plus $2$ is a lower bound for the vertex cover…

In this paper we generalise the notion of visibility from a point in an integer lattice to the setting of graph theory. For a vertex $x$ of a connected graph $G$, we say that a set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is an \emph{$x$-position set} if for any…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected and vertex-colored graph. A subset $X$ of the vertex set of $G$ is called rainbow if any two vertices in $X$ have distinct colors. The graph $G$ is called \emph{rainbow vertex-disconnected} if for any two…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ and $\partial(G)$ is the spectral radius of the distance matrix $D(G)$ of $G$. The transmission $D_i$ of vertex $i$ is the $i$-th row sum of $D(G)$. Denote by $D_{\max}(G)$ the maximum of…

The toughness of graph $G$, denoted by $\tau(G)$, is $\tau(G)=\min\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}:S\subseteq V(G),c(G-S)\geq2\}$ for every vertex cut $S$ of $V(G)$ and the number of components of $G$ is denoted by $c(G)$. Bondy in 1973, suggested the…

Albertson has defined the irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ as $ \irr(G) = \sum_{uv\in E}|d_G(u)-d_G(v)|,$ where $d_G(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u \in V$. Recently, this graph invariant gained interest in the…
