For any directed graph G with vertex set V, the graph G^(d) is said to be a subset power of G and is defined to have vertex set equal to the set of d-element subsets of V; in G^(d), there is an edge from A to B if and only if we can label…

The power graph of a group is the graph whose vertex set is the set of nontrivial elements of group, two elements being adjacent if one is a power of the other. We introduce some way for find the automorphism groups of some graphs. As an…

Let $ir(G)$ and $\gamma(G)$ be the irredundance number and the domination number of a graph $G$, respectively. A graph $G$ is called irredundance perfect if $ir(H)=\gamma(H)$ for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$. The subclass of $P_6$-free…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-leaf power if there is a tree $T$ whose leaves are the vertices of $G$ with the property that a pair of leaves $u$ and $v$ induce an edge in $G$ if and only if they are distance at most $k$ apart in $T$. For $k\le…

For a finite group $G$ the co-prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ is defined as a graph with vertex set $G$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $gcd(o(x),o(y))=1$ where $o(x)$ and $o(y)$ denote the orders of the…

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…

Given a group $G$, we define the power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ as follows: the vertices are the elements of $G$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if $\langle x \rangle \subseteq \langle y \rangle$ or $\langle y \rangle…
