A vertex coloring is called distinguishing if the identity is the only automorphism that can preserve it. The distinguishing threshold $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors $k$ required that any arbitrary $k$-coloring…

For a given graph \(G\), the general position problem asks for the largest set of vertices \(M \subseteq V(G)\) such that no three distinct vertices of \(M\) belong to a common shortest path in \(G\). A relaxation of this concept is based…

Let $G$ be a graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)$ and maximum multiplicity $\mu(G)$. Vizing and Gupta, independently, proved in the 1960s that the chromatic index of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+\mu(G)$. The distance between two edges $e$ and…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The neighbourhood corona of…

A graph $G$ is Hamiltonian-connected if there exists a Hamiltonian path between any two vertices of $G$. It is known that if $G$ is 2-connected then the graph $G^2$ is Hamiltonian-connected. In this paper we prove that the square of every…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex (edge) labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. It is known that for every graph $G$…

The generalized distance spectral radius of a connected graph $G$ is the spectral radius of the generalized distance matrix of $G$, defined by $$D_\alpha(G)=\alpha Tr(G)+(1-\alpha)D(G), \;\;0\le\alpha \le 1,$$ where $D(G)$ and $Tr(G)$…

A total coloring of a simple undirected graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to its vertices and edges such that the colors given to the vertices form a proper vertex coloring, the colors given to the edges form a proper edge coloring, and…

A subset $M$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a mutual-visibility set if any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $M$ ``see'' each other in $G$, that is, there exists a shortest $u,v$-path in $G$ that contains no elements of $M$ as internal vertices.…

For a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, a vertex labelling $f:V(G)\to\{1,2\ldots,k\}$ is said to be $k$-distinguishing if no non-trivial automorphism of $G$ preserves the sets $f^{-1}(i)$ for each $i\in\{1,\ldots,k\}$. The…

Call a colouring of a graph \emph{distinguishing} if the only automorphism of this graph which preserves said colouring is the identity. Let $H$ be an arbitrary graph. We say that a graph $G$ is \emph{$H$-free} if $G$ does not contain an…

Let $c:V\cup E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ be a proper total colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. We say vertices $u,v\in V$ are sum distinguished if $c(u)+\sum_{e\ni u}c(e)\neq c(v)+\sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$. By…

The dissociation number ${\rm diss}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum order of a set of vertices of $G$ inducing a subgraph that is of maximum degree at most $1$. Computing the dissociation number of a given graph is algorithmically hard…

A symmetric digraph $\overleftrightarrow{G}$ is obtained from a simple graph $G$ by replacing each edge $uv$ with a pair of opposite arcs $\vec{uv}$, $\overrightarrow{vu}$. An arc-colouring $c$ of a digraph $\overleftrightarrow{G}$ is…

An edge-coloring of a graph is called asymmetric if the only automorphism which preserves it is the identity. Lehner, Pil\'{s}niak, and Stawiski proved that all connected regular graphs except $K_2$ admit an asymmetric edge-coloring with…

Suppose $G$ is a controllable graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A$. Let $W=[e,Ae,\ldots,A^{n-1}e]$ ($e$ is the all-one vector) and $\Delta=\prod_{i>j}(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)^2$ ($\alpha_i$'s are eigenvalues of $A$) be the walk matrix…

We consider the following extension of the concept of adjacent strong edge colourings of graphs without isolated edges. Two distinct vertices which are at distant at most $r$ in a graph are called $r$-adjacent. The least number of colours…
