Let $G$ be a connected simple graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Denote $N_{i}^{(j)}(G)$ the number of spanning subgraphs of $G$ having precisely $i$ edges and not more than $j$ connected components. The graph $G$ is \emph{strong} if…

Given a finite, simple graph $G$, the independent bondage number of $G$ is the minimum size of an edge set such that its deletion results in a graph with strictly larger independent domination number than that of $G$. While the bondage…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$. 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 the mean of all eccentricities in $G$. We give upper bounds on the…

The undirected power graph (or simply power graph) of a group $G$, denoted by $P(G)$, is a graph whose vertices are the elements of the group $G$, in which two vertices $u$ and $v$ are connected by an edge between if and only if either…

The \textit{node reliability} of a graph $G$ is the probability that at least one node is operational and that the operational nodes can all communicate in the subgraph that they induce, given that the edges are perfectly reliable but each…

For a non-negative integer $s\le |V(G)|-3$, a graph $G$ is $s$-Hamiltonian if the removal of any $k\le s$ vertices results in a Hamiltonian graph. Given a connected simple graph $G$ that is not isomorphic to a path, a cycle, or a $K_{1,3}$,…

The {\it toughness} $\tau(G)=\mathrm{min}\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}: S~\mbox{is a vertex cut in}~G\}$ for $G\ncong K_n,$ which was initially proposed by Chv\'{a}tal in 1973. A graph $G$ is called {\it $t$-tough} if $\tau(G)\geq t.$ Let…
