The proper commuting graph $\mathcal{C}^{**}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph whose vertices are the noncentral elements of $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they commute. In this paper, we study the domination…

In this paper, a new graph structure called the \textit{coprime order graph} of a finite group $G$ denoted by $\Theta(G)$ has been introduced. The \textit{coprime graph} of a finite group introduced by Ma, Wei, and Yang [\textit{The coprime…

Counting dominating sets in a graph $G$ is closely related to the neighborhood complex of $G$. We exploit this relation to prove that the number of dominating sets $d(G)$ of a graph is determined by the number of complete bipartite…

We explore graph theoretical properties of minimal prime graphs of finite solvable groups. In finite group theory studying the prime graph of a group has been an important topic for the past almost half century. Recently prime graphs of…

Let $G$ be a group. The power graph of $G$ is a graph with vertex set $G$ in which two distinct elements $x,y$ are adjacent if one of them is a power of the other. We characterize all groups whose power graphs have finite independence…

Directed acyclic graphs whose nodes are all the divisors of a positive integer $n$ and arcs $(a,b)$ defined by $a$ divides $b$ are considered. Fourteen graph invariants such as order, size, and the number of paths are investigated for two…

In this note we introduce and characterize a class of finite groups for which the element orders satisfy a certain inequality. This is contained in some well-known classes of finite groups.

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p_1,\dots,p_n$ be distinct primes. If $G$ contains an element of order $p_1\cdots p_n,$ then there is an element in $G$ which is not contained in the Frattini subgroup of $G$ and whose order is divisible…

There are a variety of ways to associate directed or undirected graphs to a group. It may be interesting to investigate the relations between the structure of these graphs and characterizing certain properties of the group in terms of some…

The power graph of finite group G is a simple graph whose vertex set is G and two distinct elements a and b are adjacent if and only if one of them is a power of the other. The proper power graph of G is a graph which is obtained by…

This paper deals with combinatorial aspects of finite covers of groups by cosets or subgroups. Let $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k$ be left cosets in a group $G$ such that ${a_iG_i}_{i=1}^k$ covers each element of $G$ at least $m$ times but none of its…

In a finite group, a subset is called a Lagrange subset if its size divides the group order, and a factor if it admits a complementary subset. We provide a new and comparatively direct proof of the classification of groups in which every…
