Let $\varepsilon(G)$ be the eccentricity matrix of a graph $G$ and $Spec(\varepsilon(G))$ be the eccentricity spectrum of $G$. Let $H[G_1,G_2,\ldots, G_k]$ be the $H$-join of graphs $G_1,G_2,\ldots, G_k$ and let $H[G]$ be lexicographic…

Given a simple connected non-directed graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$, we consider two families of graph invariants: $RX_\Sigma(G) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)} F(r_u,r_v)$ (which has gained interest recently) and $RX_\Pi(G) = \prod_{uv \in E(G)} F(r_u,r_v)$…

A $k$-nearly independent vertex subset of a graph $G$ is a set of vertices that induces a subgraph containing exactly $k$ edges. For $k = 0$, this coincides with the classical notion of independent subsets. This paper investigates the…

A dissociation set in a graph is a subset of vertices which induces a subgraph with maximum degree at most one. The dissociation number of a graph is the maximum cardinality of its dissociation sets. In this paper, we consider the…

The flip-graph of a convex polygon $\pi$ is the graph whose vertices are the triangulations of $\pi$ and whose edges correspond to flips between them. The eccentricity of a triangulation $T$ of $\pi$ is the largest possible distance in this…

Given a connected graph $G(V, E)$, the edge dimension, denoted $\mathrm{edim}(G)$, is the least size of a set $S \subseteq V$ that distinguishes every pair of edges of $G$, in the sense that the edges have pairwise distinct tuples of…

The imbalance of an edge $e=\{u,v\}$ in a graph is defined as $i(e)=|d(u)-d(v)|$, where $d(\cdot)$ is the vertex degree. The irregularity $I(G)$ of $G$ is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. This concept was…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph and $k \ge 0$ an integer. A $k$-independent set $S \subseteq V$ is a set of vertices such that the maximum degree in the graph induced by $S$ is at most $k$. With $\alpha_k(G)$ we denote the maximum cardinality of…

The path eccentricity of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum integer $k$ such that $G$ has a path such that every vertex is at distance at most $k$ from the path. A result of Duffus, Jacobson, and Gould from 1981 states that every…

The harmonic index of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of weights $\frac{2}{deg(v) + deg(u)}$ of all edges $uv$ of $E (G)$, where $deg (v)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $v$ in $V (G)$. In this note we generalize results of [L. Zhong, The…

The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We provide formulae for the minimum Wiener index of simple triangulations and quadrangulations with connectivity at least $c$, and…

For a simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, let $d(u)$ be the degree of the vertex $u$ of $G$. The general Sombor index of $G$ is defined as $$SO_{\alpha}(G)=\sum_{uv\in E} \left[d(u)^2+d(v)^2\right]^\alpha$$ where $SO(G)=SO_{0.5}(G)$ is the…

A vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is said to be a boundary vertex of $G$ if for some other vertex $u$ of $G$, no neighbor of $v$ is further away from $u$ than $v$. The boundary $\partial(G)$ of $G$ is the set of all of its boundary…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. Let $\kappa_G(u,v)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$. Then the average connectivity $\overline{\kappa}(G)$ of $G$, is defined as $…

Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…

It is shown that any graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ in which the average degree of the induced subgraph on the set of all neighbors of any vertex exceeds $\frac{6k^2}{6k^2 + 1}\Delta + k + 6$ is either $(\Delta - k)$-colorable or…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A set $I_0(G) \subseteq V(G)$ is a vertex independent set if no two vertices in $I_0(G)$ are adjacent in $G$. We study $\alpha_1(G)$, which is the maximum cardinality of a set…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $v$ be a vertex of $G$. The triangle-degree of $v$ in $G$ is the number of triangles that contain $v$. While every graph has at least two vertices with the same degree, there are graphs in which every vertex…

An incidence of an undirected graph G is a pair $(v,e)$ where $v$ is a vertex of $G$ and $e$ an edge of $G$ incident with $v$. Two incidences $(v,e)$ and $(w,f)$ are adjacent if one of the following holds: (i) $v = w$, (ii) $e = f$ or (iii)…

Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph, denote by d_E(u,v) their Euclidean distance and by d_G(u,v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on d_G(u,v) in terms of d_E(u,v) has received a lot of attention…
