A tree with at most k leaves is called k-ended tree, and a tree with exactly k leaves is called k-end tree, where a leaf is a vertex of degree one. Contraction of a graph G along the edge e means deleting the edge e and identifying its end…

We consider the graph $G_n$ with vertex set $V(G_n) = \{ 1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ and $\{i,j\} \in E(G_n)$ if and only if $0<|i-j| \leq 2$. We call $G_n$ the straight linear 2-tree on $n$ vertices. Using $\Delta$--Y transformations and identities…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of simple graphs (or multigraphs) $G$ such that for each $G \in \mathcal{G}$ there exists at least two non-empty disjoint proper subsets $V_{1},V_{2}\subseteq V(G)$ satisfying $V(G)\setminus(V_{1} \cup…

A graph can be regarded as an electrical network in which each edge is a resistor. This point of view relates combinatorial quantities, such as the number of spanning trees, to electrical ones such as effective resistance. The second and…

Let $e$ be an edge of a connected simple graph $G$. The graph obtained by removing (subdividing) an edge $e$ from $G$ is denoted by $G-e$ ($G_e$). As usual, $\gamma(G)$ denotes the domination number of $G$. We call $G$ an SR-graph if…

We give a new inequality between the energy of a graph and a weighted sum over the edges of the graph. Using this inequality we prove that $\mathcal{E}(G)\geq 2R(H)$, where $ \mathcal{E}(G)$ is the energy of a graph $G$ and $R(H)$ is the…

An edge irregular total $k$-labelling $f : V(G)\cup E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\dots,k\}$ of a graph $G$ is a labelling of the vertices and the edges of $G$ in such a way that any two different edges have distinct weights. The weight of an edge…

Consider a rooted infinite Galton-Watson tree with mean offspring number $m>1$, and a collection of i.i.d. positive random variables $\xi_e$ indexed by all the edges in the tree. We assign the resistance $m^d \xi_e$ to each edge $e$ at…

We consider the problem of two-point resistance in a resistor network previously studied by one of us [F. Y. Wu, J. Phys. A {\bf 37}, 6653 (2004)]. By formulating the problem differently, we obtain a new expression for the two-point…

We investigate the behavior of two dimensional resistor networks, with finite sizes and different kinds (rectangular, hexagonal, and triangular) of lattice geometry. We construct the network by having a network-element repeat itself $L_x$…

A graph G=(V,E) is a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree T and two non-negative real numbers `d' and `D' such that each leaf `u' of T is a node of V and the edge `(u,v) belongs to E' iff `d <= d_T(u, v)…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with $V(G)=\{1,\dotsc,n\}$. Then the resistance distance between any two vertices $i$ and $j$ is given by $r_{ij}:=l_{ii}^{\dag} + l_{jj}^{\dag}-2 l_{ij}^{\dag}$, where $l_{ij}^\dag$ is the $(i,j)^{\rm th}$…

Let $\tau(G)$ and $\tau_G(e)$ be the number of spanning trees of a connected graph $G$ and the number of spanning trees of $G$ containing edge $e$. The ratio $d_{G}(e)=\tau_{G}(e)/\tau(G)$ is called the spanning tree edge density of $e$, or…

A spanning 2-forest separating vertices $u$ and $v$ of an undirected connected graph is a spanning forest with 2 components such that $u$ and $v$ are in distinct components. Aside from their combinatorial significance, spanning 2-forests…

In this article we consider resistance matrix of a connected graph. For unweighted graph we study some necessary and sufficient conditions for resistance regular graphs. Also we find some relationship between Laplacian matrix and resistance…

The reciprocal degree resistance distance index of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $RDR(G)=\sum\limits_{\{u,v\}\subseteq V(G)}\frac {d_G(u)+d_G(v)}{r_G(u,v)}$, where $r_G(u,v)$ is the resistance distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ in…

Using the theory of electrical network, we first obtain a simple formula for the number of spanning trees of a complete bipartite graph containing a certain matching or a certain tree. Then we apply the effective resistance (i.e.,…

In the real world, networks often contain multiple relationships among nodes, manifested as the heterogeneity of the edges in the networks. We convert the heterogeneous networks into multiple views by using each view to describe a specific…

We consider infinite weighted graphs $G$, i.e., sets of vertices $V$, and edges $E$ assumed countable infinite. An assignment of weights is a positive symmetric function $c$ on $E$ (the edge-set), conductance. From this, one naturally…

Given a finite planar graph, a grove is a spanning forest in which every component tree contains one or more of a specified set of vertices (called nodes) on the outer face. For the uniform measure on groves, we compute the probabilities of…
