Unigraphs are graphs uniquely determined by their own degree sequence up to isomorphism. There are many subclasses of unigraphs such as threshold graphs, split matrogenic graphs, matroidal graphs, and matrogenic graphs. Unigraphs and these…

A path $P$ in an edge-colored graph $G$ is a \emph{proper path} if no two adjacent edges of $P$ are colored with the same color. The graph $G$ is \emph{proper connected} if, between every pair of vertices, there exists a proper path in $G$.…

We say that a first order formula A distinguishes a graph G from another graph G' if A is true on G and false on G'. Provided G and G' are non-isomorphic, let D(G,G') denote the minimal quantifier rank of a such formula. We prove that, if G…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with $n$ vertices. The isolated toughness of $G$, denoted by $I(G)$, is defined by $I(G)=\min\left\{\frac{|S|}{i(G-S)}:S\subseteq V(G) \ \mbox{and} \ i(G-S)\geq2\right\}$ if $G$ is not complete, or…

A connected graph is called a bi-block graph if each of its blocks is a complete bipartite graph. Let $\mathcal{B}(\mathbf{k}, \alpha)$ be the class of bi-block graph on $\mathbf{k}$ vertices with given independence number $\alpha$. It is…

In this paper, we introduce a matrix for a mixed graph, called the integrated adjacency matrix. This matrix uniquely determines a mixed graph, as long as the indices of the matrix are specified. Additionally, we associate an (undirected)…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The matrix $S(G) = J -I -2A(G)$ is called the Seidel matrix of $G$, where $I$ is an identity matrix and $J$ is a square matrix all of whose entries are equal to 1.…

The parameter $\sigma(G)$ of a graph $G$ stands for the number of Laplacian eigenvalues greater than or equal to the average degree of $G$. In this work, we address the problem of characterizing those graphs $G$ having $\sigma(G)=1$. Our…

We consider undirected simple finite graphs. The sets of vertices and edges of a graph $G$ are denoted by $V(G)$ and $E(G)$, respectively. For a graph $G$, we denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ the least degree of a vertex of $G$ and the…
