The Zero divisor Graph of a commutative ring $R$, denoted by $\Gamma[R]$, is a graph whose vertices are non-zero zero divisors of $R$ and two vertices are adjacent if their product is zero. We consider the zero divisor graph…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I$ be an ideal of $R$. The amalgamated duplication of $R$ along $I$ is the subring $R\Join I:=\{(r,r+i)| r\in R, i\in I\}$ of $R\times R$. This paper investigates the extended zero-divisor graph of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a graph with vertex set $V$, and let $a$ and $b$ be nonnegative integers. A subset $C$ of $V$ is called an $(a,b)$-regular set in $\Gamma$ if every vertex in $C$ has exactly $a$ neighbors in $C$ and every vertex in…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$. Two disjoint sets $V_1, V_2\subseteq V$ are called a total coalition in $G$, if neither $V_1$ and $V_2$ is a total dominating set of $G$ but $V_1\cup V_2$ is a total dominating set. A total coalition…

A matching in a graph $G$ is a set of independent edges in $G$. A perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a matching which saturates all the vertices of $G$. A fractional perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a function $h:E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$…

A set $C$ of vertices of a simple graph is called a completely regular code if for each $i=0$, $1$, $2$, \ldots and $j = i-1$, $i$, $i+1$, all vertices at distance $i$ from $C$ have the same number $s_{ij}$ of neighbors at distance $j$ from…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph with vertex set $V$. We suppose that $V$ admits a $G$-partition $\mathcal{B} = \{ B_0, ... , B_b \}$, with parts of size $v$, and that the quotient graph induced on $\mathcal B$ is a complete graph of…

We prove that for any graph $G$, the total chromatic number of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+2\left\lceil \frac{|V(G)|}{\Delta(G)+1} \right\rceil$. This saves one color in comparison with a result of Hind from 1992. In particular, our result…

A graph $G$ is called \emph{symmetric with respect to a functional $F_G(P)$} defined on the set of all the probability distributions on its vertex set if the distribution $P^*$ maximizing $F_G(P)$ is uniform on $V(G)$. Using the…

Let $G(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, isolate-free graph. Two disjoint sets $A,B\subset V$ form a total coalition in $G$, if none of them is a total dominating set, but their union $A\cup B$ is a total dominating set. A vertex partition…

Assume that $R$ is a commutative ring with nonzero identity. In this paper, we introduce and investigate zero-annihilator graph of $R$ denoted by $\mathtt{ZA}(R)$. It is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero nonunit elements…

An $\textit{identifying code}$ of a closed-twin-free graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices in $G$ have a distinct intersection between their closed neighborhood and $S$. It was conjectured that there exists a…

We define a perfect coloring of a graph $G$ as a proper coloring of $G$ such that every connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ uses exactly $\omega(H)$ many colors where $\omega(H)$ is the clique number of $H$. A graph is perfectly colorable…

A vertex coloring of a graph is called "perfect" if for any two colors $a$ and $b$, the number of the color-$b$ neighbors of a color-$a$ vertex $x$ does not depend on the choice of $x$, that is, depends only on $a$ and $b$ (the…

A set of Pauli stings is well characterized by the graph that encodes its commutatitivity structure, i.e., by its frustration graph. This graph provides a natural interface between graph theory and quantum information, which we explore in…
