A graph is $k$-chordal if it does not have an induced cycle with length greater than $k$. We call a graph chordal if it is $3$-chordal. Let $G$ be a graph. The distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$, denoted by $d_{G}(x,y)$, is the…

Let $d_G(v)$ be the degree of the vertex $v$ in a graph $G$. The Sombor index of $G$ is defined as $SO(G) =\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d^2_G(u)+d^2_G(v)}$, which is a new degree-based topological index introduced by Gutman. Let…

Let G=(V,E). A set S is independent if no two vertices from S are adjacent. The number d(X)= |X|-|N(X)| is the difference of X, and an independent set A is critical if d(A) = max{d(I):I is an independent set}. Let us recall that ker(G) is…

Let $G_w$ be a weighted graph. The number of the positive, negative and zero eigenvalues in the spectrum of $G_w$ are called positive inertia index, negative inertia index and nullity of $G_w$, and denoted by $i_{+}(G_w)$, $i_{-}(G_w)$,…

For a finite group $G$, the vertices of the prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ are the primes that divide $|G|$, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are connected by an edge if and only if there is an element of order $pq$ in $G$. Prime graphs of solvable…

The equator of a graph is the length of a longest isometric cycle. We bound the order $n$ of a graph from below by its equator $q$, girth $g$ and minimum degree $\delta$ - and show that this bound is sharp when there exists a Moore graph…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of curling subsequence of simple, finite and connected graphs. A curling subsequence is a maximal subsequence $C$ of the degree sequence of a simple connected graph $G$ for which the curling number…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The revised edge Szeged index of $G$ is defined as $Sz^{\ast}_{e}(G)=\sum\limits_{e=uv\in E(G)}(m_{u}(e|G)+\frac{m_{0}(e|G)}{2})(m_{v}(e|G)+\frac{m_{0}(e|G)}{2})$, where $m_{u}(e|G)$ (resp., $m_{v}(e|G)$) is…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph is called a {\it proper tree} if no two adjacent edges of $T$ receive the same color. Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and $k$ be an integer with $2\leq k \leq n$. For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|…

A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…

A $\mathbb{T}$-gain graph is a simple graph in which a unit complex number is assigned to each orientation of an edge, and its inverse is assigned to the opposite orientation. The associated adjacency matrix is defined canonically, and is…

For a set $S$ of vertices and the vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, $\displaystyle\max_{x \in S}d(x,v)$ is called the $S$-eccentricity of $v$ in $G$. The set of vertices with minimum $S$-eccentricity is called the $S$-center of $G$. Any…

We introduce the \emph{ID-index} of a finite simple connected graph. For a graph $G=(V,\ E)$ with diameter $d$, we let $f:V\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ assign \emph{ranks} to the vertices, then under $f$, each vertex $v$ gets a…

The eccentric connectivity index of a graph $G$, denoted by $\xi^{c}(G)$, defined as $\xi^{c}(G)$ = $\sum_{v \in V(G)}\epsilon(v) \cdot d(v)$, where $\epsilon(v)$ and $d(v)$ denotes the eccentricity and degree of a vertex $v$ in a graph…

An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. The smallest size of an identifying code of $G$ is denoted $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$.…
