An $L(2,1)$-labelling of a finite graph $\Gamma$ is a function that assigns integer values to the vertices $V(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ (colouring of $V(\Gamma)$ by ${\mathbb{Z}}$) so that the absolute difference of two such values is at least…

An antimagic labelling of a graph is a bijection from the set of edges to $\{1, 2, \ldots , m\}$, such that all vertex-sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex-sum of a vertex is the sum of labels on the edges incident to it. We say a…

Graphs considered in this paper are finite, undirected and without loops, but with multiple edges. For an integer $t\geq 1$, denote by $\mathcal{MG}_t$ the class of graphs whose maximum multiplicity is at most $t$. A graph $G$ is called…

A graph $G$ is said to be equitably $c$-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into $c$ independent sets that pairwise differ in size by at most one. Chen, Lih, and Wu conjectured that every connected graph $G$ with maximum degree…

A complex unit gain graph (or ${\mathbb T}$-gain graph) is a triple $\Phi=(G, {\mathbb T}, \varphi)$ (or $(G, \varphi)$ for short) consisting of a simple graph $G$, as the underlying graph of $(G, \varphi)$, the set of unit complex numbers…

We propose the conjecture that the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of a $\Delta$-regular graph $G$ with $\Delta\geq 1$ is always at most its edge domination number $\gamma_e(G)$, which coincides with the domination number of its line graph.…

If $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ is a function, then let us say that $f$ is sublinear if \[\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{f(n)}{n}=0.\] If $G=(V,E)$ is a cubic graph and $c:E\rightarrow \{1,...,k\}$ is a proper $k$-edge-coloring of…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $s$ be a positive integer. A subset $A$ of $G$ is called a {\em perfect $s$-basis of $G$} if each element of $G$ can be written uniquely as the sum of at most $s$ (not-necessarily-distinct) elements of…

We show that any $2-$factor of a cubic graph can be extended to a maximum $3-$edge-colorable subgraph. We also show that the sum of sizes of maximum $2-$ and $3-$edge-colorable subgraphs of a cubic graph is at least twice of its number of…

An eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a main eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. It is well known that a graph $G$ has exactly two main eigenvalues if and only if there exists a unique pair of…

A graph $G$ is called universal for a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if it contains every element $F \in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}(n,2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree $2$. Ferber, Kronenberg, and Luh…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $\Gamma $ an Abelian group both of order $n$. A $\Gamma$-distance magic labeling of $G$ is a bijection $\ell \colon V\rightarrow \Gamma $ for which there exists $\mu \in \Gamma $ such that $% \sum_{x\in…

For any graph $G$, we define the power $\pi(G)$ as the minimum of the largest number of neighbors in a $\gamma$-set of $G$, of any vertex, taken over all $\gamma$-sets of $G$. We show that $\gamma(G\square H)\geq \frac{\pi(G)}{2\pi(G)…

A pseudo [2,b]-factor of a graph G is a spanning subgraph in which each component C on at least three vertices is a [2,b]-graph. The main contibution of this paper, is to give an upper bound to the number of components that are edges or…

Let $\phi_c(G)$ be the circular flow number of a bridgeless graph $G$. In [Edge-colorings and circular flow numbers of regular graphs, J. Graph Theory 79 (2015) 1-7] it was proved that, for every $t \geq 1$, $G$ is a bridgeless…

Let $c$ be a proper edge colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with integers $1,2,\ldots,k$. Then $k\geq \Delta(G)$, while by Vizing's theorem, no more than $k=\Delta(G)+1$ is necessary for constructing such $c$. On the course of investigating…

Amos et al. (Discrete Appl. Math. 181 (2015) 1-10) introduced the notion of the $k$-forcing number of graph for a positive integer $k$ as the generalization of the zero forcing number of a graph. The $k$-forcing number of a simple graph…

A sequence of nonnegative integers \pi =(d_1,d_2,...,d_n) is graphic if there is a (simple) graph G with degree sequence \pi. In this case, G is said to realize or be a realization of \pi. Degree sequence results in the literature generally…

Let $\gamma_g(G)$ be the game domination number of a graph $G$. Rall conjectured that if $G$ is a traceable graph, then $\gamma_g(G) \le \left\lceil \frac{1}{2}n(G)\right\rceil$. Our main result verifies the conjecture over the class of…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. If, in addition, $S$ is an independent set, then $S$ is an independent dominating set. The independent domination number…
