In this work we present the notion of greyscale of a graph as a colouring of its vertices that uses colours from the real interval [0,1]. Any greyscale induces another colouring by assigning to each edge the non-negative difference between…
The concepts of domination and topological index hold great significance within the realm of graph theory. Therefore, it is pertinent to merge these concepts to derive the domination index of a graph. A novel concept of the domination index…
A new polynomial sieve is presented and used to show that almost all integers have at most one representation as a sum of two values of a given polynomial of degree at least 3.
Given an edge-coloring of a graph, the palette of a vertex is defined as the set of colors of the edges which are incident with it. We define the palette index of a graph as the minimum number of distinct palettes, taken over all…
We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
In this note we introduce a representation of simple undirected graphs in terms of polynomials and obtain a unique code for a simple undirected graph.
For a degree sequence, we define the set of edges that appear in every labeled realization of that sequence as forced, while the edges that appear in none as forbidden. We examine structure of graphs whose degree sequences contain either…
Recently, Gross, Mansour, and Tucker introduced the partial Petrial polynomial, which enumerates all partial Petrials of a ribbon graph by Euler genus. They provided formulas or recursions for various families of ribbon graphs, including…
We extend our previous algorithm that generates all labeled graphs with a given graphical degree sequence to generate all labeled triangle-free graphs with a given graphical degree sequence. The algorithm uses various pruning techniques to…
In this paper we consider the separability problem for bipartite quantum states arising from graphs. Earlier it was proved that the degree criterion is the graph-theoretic counterpart of the familiar positive partial transpose criterion for…
A vertex with neighbours of degrees $d_1 \geq ... \geq d_r$ has {\em vertex type} $(d_1, ..., d_r)$. A graph is {\em vertex-oblique} if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and…
Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…
A strongly polynomial sequence of graphs $(G_n)$ is a sequence $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of finite graphs such that, for every graph $F$, the number of homomorphisms from $F$ to $G_n$ is a fixed polynomial function of $n$ (depending on $F$).…
In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…
We study provably effective and efficient data reduction for a class of NP-hard graph modification problems based on vertex degree properties. We show fixed-parameter tractability for NP-hard graph completion (that is, edge addition) cases…
We study theorems giving sufficient conditions on the vertex degrees of a graph $G$ to guarantee $G$ is $t$-tough. We first give a best monotone theorem when $t\ge1$, but then show that for any integer $k\ge1$, a best monotone theorem for…
The power graph of a given finite group is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the group itself, and there is an edge between any two distinct vertices if one is a power of the other. In this paper, we find a precise formula to…
A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices that observes every vertex in the graph by combining classical domination with an iterative propagation process arising from electrical circuit theory. In this paper, we study the power…
Let $G$ be a simple graph. Consider all weightings of the vertices of $G$ with real numbers whose total sum is nonnegative. How many edges of $G$ have endpoints with a nonnegative sum? We consider the minimum number of such edges over all…
Graph polynomials are deemed useful if they give rise to algebraic characterizations of various graph properties, and their evaluations encode many other graph invariants. Algebraic: The complete graphs $K_n$ and the complete bipartite…
