The power graph of a group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $G$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if one of $a$ and $b$ is a power of the other. Similarly, the enhanced power graph of $G$ is a graph with vertex set $G$,…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, let $bc(G)$ denote the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ so that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that for every graph $G$, $bc(G) \leq n…

Let $G_1,\dots, G_m$ be independent identically distributed random subgraphs of the complete graph ${\cal K}_n$. We analyse the threshold behaviour of the strength of connectedness of the union $\cup_{i=1}^mG_i$ defined on the vertex set of…

Let $G=(V_G,E_G)$ be a connected graph. The distance $d_G(u,v)$ between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is the length of a shortest $u-v$ path in $G$. The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the integer $e_G(v)= \max\{ d_G(v,u) \colon u\in…

The enhanced power graph $\mathcal G_e(\mathbf G)$ of a group $\mathbf G$ is the graph with vertex set $G$ such that two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if they are contained in a same cyclic subgroup. We prove that finite groups with…

These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For $x \in G$, we define the solvabilizer of $x$ in $G$, denoted $sol_G(x)$, to be the set $\{g \in G \mid \langle g,x \rangle$ is solvable$\}$. A group $G$ is an S-group if $sol_G(x)$ is a subgroup of $G$ for…

Connectivity and diagnosability are two important parameters for the fault tolerant of an interconnection network $G$. In 1996, F\`{a}brega and Fiol proposed the $g$-extra connectivity of $G$. A subset of vertices $S$ is said to be a…

Given a graph $G$, a dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The domination number of $G$, denoted $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$. The independent…

Let $G$ be a finite simple undirected $(p,q)$-graph, with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$ such that $p=|V(G)|$ and $q=|E(G)|$. A super edge-magic total labeling $f$ of $G$ is a bijection $f\colon V(G)\cup E(G)\longrightarrow…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G)) $ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. An even factor of $G$ is a spanning subgraph $F$ such that every vertex in $F$ has a nonzero even degree. Note that $\delta(G)\geq 2$ is a trivial necessary…

Consider a graph $\Gamma$. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic vertex cutset, then it…

The power graph and the enhanced power graph of a group $\mathbf G$ are simple graphs with vertex set $G$; two elements of $G$ are adjacent in the power graph if one of them is a power of the other, and they are adjacent in the enhanced…

Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the cyclic group of order $q$. A $\mathbb{Z}_q$-edge-weighted $K_f$ is the complete graph $K_f$ equipped with a weight function $\omega : E(K_f) \to \mathbb{Z}_q$. A subdivision of a graph $H$ in a…

For a graph $G$ and a non-zero real number $\alpha$, the graph invariant $S_{\alpha}(G)$ is the sum of the $\alpha^{th}$ power of the non-zero signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. In this paper, we obtain the sharp bounds of…

We associate a graph ${\mathcal N}_{S}$ with a semigroup $S$ (called the upper non-nilpotent graph of $S$). The vertices of this graph are the elements of $S$ and two vertices are adjacent if they generate a semigroup that is not nilpotent…

Let $G$ be a connected finite graph with vertex set $V(G)$. The eccentricity $e(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is defined as $\frac{1}{|V(G)|}\sum_{v \in…

If $G$ is a simple graph and $\rho\in[0,1]$, the reliability $R_G(\rho)$ is the probability of $G$ being connected after each of its edges is removed independently with probability $\rho$. A simple graph $G$ is a \emph{uniformly most…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple graph. A non-empty set $S\subseteq V (G)$ is a weakly connected dominating set in $G$, if the subgraph obtained from $G$ by removing all edges each joining any two vertices in $V (G)\setminus S$ is connected.…

In this paper, we show that the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects a connected strongly regular graph into non-singleton components, equals the size of the neighborhood of an edge for many graphs. These include blocks…
