In this paper, we investigate whether the symbolic and ordinary powers of a binomial edge ideal $J_{G}$ are equal. We show that the equality $J_{G}^{t}=J_{G}^{(t)}$ holds for every $t \geq 1$ when $|Ass(J_{G})|=2$. Moreover, if $G$ is a…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $J(G)$ denote its vertex cover ideal in a polynomial ring over a field. % $\mathbb{K}$. The $k$-th symbolic power of $J(G)$ is denoted by $J(G)^{(k)}$. In this paper, we give a criteria for cover ideals…

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…

A graph $G$ is class II, if its chromatic index is at least $\Delta+1$. Let $H$ be a maximum $\Delta$-edge-colorable subgraph of $G$. The paper proves best possible lower bounds for $\frac{|E(H)|}{|E(G)|}$, and structural properties of…

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that any two edges of distance at most two receive distinct colors. The minimum number of colors we need in order to give $G$ a strong edge-coloring is called the strong…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

Denote the Laplacian of a graph $G$ by $L(G)$ and its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue by $\lambda_2(G)$. If $G$ is a graph on $n\ge 2$ vertices, then it is shown that the second smallest eigenvalue of $L(G) + \frac{1}{n}…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN1} defined the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ as $$A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha…

We develop tools to study the problem of containment of symbolic powers $I^{(m)}$ in powers $I^r$ for a homogeneous ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring $k[{\bf P}^N]$ in $N+1$ variables over an algebraically closed field $k$. We obtain results…

For a graph $G$ and a non-zero real number $\alpha$, the graph invariant $S_{\alpha}(G)$ is the sum of the $\alpha^{th}$ power of the non-zero signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. In this paper, we obtain the sharp bounds of…

The strong geodetic problem on a graph $G$ is to determine a smallest set of vertices such that by fixing one shortest path between each pair of its vertices, all vertices of $G$ are covered. To do this as efficiently as possible, strong…

A {\it star-factor} of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ such that each component of which is a star. An {\it edge-weighting} of $G$ is a function $w: E(G)\longrightarrow \mathbb{N}^+$, where $\mathbb{N}^+$ is the set of positive…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_n]$. We study the Stanley depth of the integral closure $\bar{I}$ of $I$. We prove that for every integer $k\geq 1$, the inequalities ${\rm sdepth} (S/\bar{I^k})…

For a graph $G$, let $S_2(G)$ be the sum of the first two largest signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$, and $f(G)=e(G)+3-S_2(G)$. Oliveira, Lima, Rama and Carvalho conjectured that $K^+_{1,n-1}$ (the star graph with an additional edge) is…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Nordhaus-Gaddum inequailties relate a graph $G$ to its complement $\bar{G}$. In this spirit Wagner…

If alpha=alpha(G) is the maximum size of an independent set and s_{k} equals the number of stable sets of cardinality k in graph G, then I(G;x)=s_{0}+s_{1}x+...+s_{alpha}x^{alpha} is the independence polynomial of G. In this paper we…

In a proper edge-coloring the edges of every color form a matching. A matching is induced if the end-vertices of its edges induce a matching. A strong edge-coloring is an edge-coloring in which the edges of every color form an induced…
