Let $G=(V, E)$ be a graph. A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a {\it dominating set} of $G$ if every vertex in $V\setminus S$ is adjacent to a vertex of $S$. The {\it domination number} of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is the cardinality of a…

This paper deals with the problem of finding totally antimagic total labelings of complete bipartite graphs. We prove that complete bipartite graphs are totally antimagic total graphs. We also show that the join of complete bipartite graphs…

In 1998, Reed conjectured that every graph $G$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq \lceil \frac{1}{2}(\Delta(G) + 1 + \omega(G))\rceil$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$, $\Delta(G)$ is the maximum degree of $G$, and $\omega(G)$ is the…

A graph is locally irregular if the degrees of the end-vertices of every edge are distinct. An edge coloring of a graph G is locally irregular if every color induces a locally irregular subgraph of G. A colorable graph G is any graph which…

A graph G is perfect if for every induced subgraph H, the chromatic number of H equals the size of the largest complete subgraph of H, and G is Berge if no induced subgraph of G is an odd cycle of length at least 5 or the complement of one.…

Bollob\'{a}s and Nikiforov (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859-865) conjectured that for a graph $G$ with $e(G)$ edges and the clique number $\omega(G)$, then $ \lambda_{1}^{2}+\lambda_{2}^{2}\leq…

A graph is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices by integers from $1$ up to the order of the graph in such a way that the sum of the labels of all the neighbors of a vertex is independent of a given vertex. We…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)$. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is overfull if $|E(H)|>\Delta(G)\lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Chetwynd and Hilton in 1985 conjectured that a graph $G$ with $\Delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ has chromatic…

If $A$ is a finite Abelian group, then a labeling $f \colon E (G) \rightarrow A$ of the edges of some graph $G$ induces a vertex labeling on $G$; the vertex $u$ receives the label $\sum_{v\in N(u)}f (v)$, where $N(u)$ is an open…

The mean color number of an $n$-vertex graph $G$, denoted by $\mu(G)$, is the average number of colors used in all proper $n$-colorings of $G$. For any graph $G$ and a vertex $w$ in $G$, Dong (2003) conjectured that if $H$ is a graph…

The local chromatic number of a graph G is the number of colors appearing in the most colorful closed neighborhood of a vertex minimized over all proper colorings of G. We show that two specific topological obstructions that have the same…

For any graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $S\subseteq V$ $dominates$ $G$ if all vertices are contained in the closed neighborhood of $S$, that is $N[S]=V$. The minimum cardinality over all such $S$ is called the domination number, written…

Given a graph $H$, the maximal anti-Ramsey function $f(n,e,H)$ denotes the minimum integer $f$ for which there exists an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $e$ edges admitting an edge-coloring with $f$ colors in which each copy of $H$ in…

Hadwiger's Conjecture states that every graph with chromatic number $k$ contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices as a minor. This conjecture is a tremendous strengthening of the Four-Colour Theorem and is regarded as one of the most…

Let $f: V(G)\cup E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,k\}$ be a non-proper total $k$-coloring of $G$. Define a weight function on total coloring as $$\phi(x)=f(x)+\sum\limits_{e\ni x}f(e)+\sum\limits_{y\in N(x)}f(y),$$ where $N(x)=\{y\in V(G)|xy\in…

Let $v$ be a vertex of a graph $G$. By the local complementation of $G$ at $v$ we mean to complement the subgraph induced by the neighbors of $v$. This operator can be generalized as follows. Assume that, each edge of $G$ has a label in the…

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 graph $G$ is called edge-magic if there exists a bijective function $f:V\left(G\right) \cup E\left(G\right)\rightarrow \left\{1, 2, \ldots , \left\vert V\left( G\right) \right\vert +\left\vert E\left( G\right) \right\vert \right\}$ such…

The subdivision graph $S(\Sigma)$ of a connected graph $\Sigma$ is constructed by adding a vertex in the middle of each edge. In a previous paper written with Cheryl E. Praeger, we characterised the graphs $\Sigma$ such that $S(\Sigma)$ is…

Anti-Ramsey theory was initiated in 1975 by Erd\H{o}s, Simonovits and S\'os, inspiring hundreds of publications since then. The present work is the third and last piece of our trilogy in which we introduce a far-reaching generalization via…
