Continuous spline functions are defined as piecewise polynomials on the faces of a polyhedral complex that agree on the intersections of two faces. Splines are used in approximation theory and numerical analysis, with applications in data…

Let $s\ge2$ and $t\ge2$ be integers. A graph $G$ is $(s,t)$-\emph{splittable} if $V(G)$ can be partitioned into two sets $S$ and $T$ such that $\chi(G[S])\geq s$ and $\chi(G[T])\geq t$. The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Lov\'asz Tihany Conjecture…

A topological graph is a graph drawn in the plane. A topological graph is $k$-plane, $k>0$, if each edge is crossed at most $k$ times. We study the problem of partitioning the edges of a $k$-plane graph such that each partite set forms a…

A graph $G$ of order $nv$ where $n\geq 2$ and $v\geq 2$ is said to be weakly $(n,v)$-clique-partitioned if its vertex set can be decomposed in a unique way into $n$ vertex-disjoint $v$-cliques. It is strongly $(n,v)$-clique-partitioned if…

We give lower bounds on the size and total size of clique partitions of a graph in terms of its spectral radius and minimum degree, and derive a spectral upper bound for the maximum number of edge-disjoint $t$-cliques. The extremal graphs…

Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…

In this monography, it is proposed to consider the concepts of spectra of edge cuts and edge cycles of a graph as a basic mathematical structure for solving the problem of graph isomorphism. An edge cut is defined by an edge and the…

The size sz(G) of an l_1-graph G=(V,E) is the minimum of n_f/t_f over all its possible l_1-embeddings f into n_f-dimensional hypercube with scale t_f. In terms of v=|V|, the sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices of G is at most…

A set $V$ is said to be separated by subsets $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ if, for every pair of distinct elements of $V$, there is a set $V_i$ that contains exactly one of them. Imposing structural constraints on the separating subsets is often…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size at least $2$, a path in $G$ is said to be an $S$-path if it connects all vertices of $S$. Two $S$-paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ are said to be internally disjoint if $E(P_1)\cap…

The vertex $k$-partiteness $v_k(G)$ of graph $G$ is defined as the fewest number of vertices whose deletion from $G$ yields a $k$-partite graph. In this paper, we introduce two concepts: monotonic decreasing topological index and monotonic…

Graph theory provides powerful tools for modeling concepts in number theory, leading to the introduction of graphs derived from arithmetic properties. One such structure is the divisor prime graph, $G_{Dp(n)}$. For any positive integer $n$,…

The second Zagreb index of a graph G is denoted by $M_2(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}d(u)d(v)$. In this paper, we investigate properties of the extremal graphs with the maximum second Zagreb indices with given graphic sequences, in particular…

We introduce the \emph{ID-index} of a finite simple connected graph. For a graph $G=(V,\ E)$ with diameter $d$, we let $f:V\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ assign \emph{ranks} to the vertices, then under $f$, each vertex $v$ gets a…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with set of vertices $V(G)$ and set of edges $E(G)$. A subset $S$ of $E(G)$ is called a $k$-nearly independent edge subsets if there are exactly $k$ pairs of elements of $S$ that share a common end. $Z_k(G)$…

A graph $G$ consists of two parts, the vertices and edges. The vertices constitute the vertex set $V(G)$ and the edges, the edge set. An edge \( e=xy \), \( ev \)-dominates not only the vertices incident to it but also those adjacent to…

Consider two graphs G_1 and G_2 on the same vertex set V and suppose that G_i has m_i edges. Then there is a bipartition of V into two classes A and B so that for both i=1,2 the number of edges between A and B in G_i is (1+o(1))m_i/2. This…

The Wiener index of a graph $W(G)$ is a well studied topological index for graphs. An outstanding problem of \v{S}olt{\'e}s is to find graphs $G$ such that $W(G)=W(G-v)$ for all vertices $v\in V(G)$, with the only known example being…
