An arc-weighted digraph is a pair $(D,\omega)$ where $D$ is a digraph and $\omega$ is an \emph{arc-weight function} that assigns\ to each arc $uv$ of $D$ a nonzero real number $\omega(uv)$. Given an arc-weighted digraph $(D,\omega)$ with…

Let $H$ be a graph allowing loops as well as vertex and edge weights. We prove that, for every triangle-free graph $G$ without isolated vertices, the weighted number of graph homomorphisms $\hom(G, H)$ satisfies the inequality \[ \hom(G, H…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are given (-1,+1) weights. In such a graph, the sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. A signed graph is called balanced if its adjacency matrix is similar to the adjacency matrix of…

A signed graph is a graph with edges marked positive and negative; it is unbalanced if some cycle has negative sign product. We introduce the concept of vector valued switching function in signed graphs, which extends the concept of…

The study of the edge ideal $I(D_{G})$ of a weighted oriented graph $D_{G}$ with underlying graph $G$ started in the context of Reed-Muller type codes. We generalize a Cohen-Macaulay construction for $I(D_{G})$, which Villarreal gave for…

The directed power graph $\mathcal G(\mathbf G)$ of a group $\mathbf G$ is the simple digraph with vertex set $G$ in which $x\rightarrow y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$, the power graph is the underlying simple graph, and the enhanced power…

Let $G$ be a connected edge-weighted graph of order $n$ and size $m$. Let $w:E(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{\geq 0}$ be the weighting function. We assume that $w$ is normalised, that is, $\sum_{e\in E(G)} w(e)=m$. The weighted distance…

It is an intriguing question to see what kind of information on the structure of an oriented graph $D$ one can obtain if $D$ does not contain a fixed oriented graph $H$ as a subgraph. The related question in the unoriented case has been an…

In this paper, we explicitly give combinatorial formulas for the regularity of powers of edge ideals, $\reg(I(D)^k)$, of weighted oriented unmixed forests $D$ whose leaves are sinks ($V^+(D)$ are sinks). This combinatorial formula is a…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, having an edge between two distinct vertices if one is the power of the other. The directed power graph $\vec{\mathcal{P}}(G)$ of a group $G$ is the…

The {\em independent domination number} $\gamma^i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum, over all independent sets $I$, of the minimal number of vertices needed to dominate $I$. It is known \cite{abz} that in chordal graphs $\gamma^i$ is equal…

The \emph{power graph} $P(G)$ of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, with $x$ and $y$ joined if one is a power of the other; the \emph{directed power graph} $\vec{P}(G)$ has the same vertex set, with an arc from $x$ to $y$ if…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The order supergraph of $G$ is the graph with vertex set $G$, and two distinct vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if $o(x)\mid o(y)$ or $o(y)\mid o(x)$. The enhanced power graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is…

We prove that the regularity of edge ideals of powers of forests is weakly decreasing. We then compute the regularity of edge ideals of powers of cycles.

In this paper, we characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of the second power $I(G_\omega)^2$ of the weighted edge ideal $I(G_\omega)$ when the underlying graph $G$ is a very well-covered graph. We also characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of…

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a simple graph $G$ over a field k. We prove that $${\rm reg}(\overline {I(G)^s}) = {\rm reg}(I(G)^s),$$ for all $s \le 4$. Furthermore, we provide an example of a graph $G$ such that $${\rm reg} I(G)^s = {\rm…

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a simple graph $G$. In this paper, we will give sufficient and necessary combinatorial conditions of $G$ in which the second symbolic and ordinary power of its edge ideal are Cohen-Macaulay (resp. Buchsbaum,…

We study a general class of weighted shifts whose weights $\alpha$ are given by $\alpha_n = \sqrt{\frac{p^n + N}{p^n + D}}$, where $p > 1$ and $N$ and $D$ are parameters so that $(N,D) \in (-1, 1)\times (-1, 1)$. Some few examples of these…
