Vizing and Gupta showed that the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is bounded above by $\Delta(G) + \mu(G)$, where $\Delta(G)$ and $\mu(G)$ denote the maximum degree and the maximum multiplicity of $G$, respectively. Steffen refined…

Two classical concepts of centrality in a graph are the median and the center. The connected notions of the status and the radius of a graph seem to be in no relation. In this paper, however, we show a clear connection of both concepts, as…

The {\it Randi\'c index} $R(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of 1/\sqrt{d_ud_v} over all edges $uv$ of $G$, where $d_u$ and $d_v$ are the degrees of vertices $u$ and $v,$ respectively. Let $D(G)$ be the diameter of $G$ when $G$ is…

In this paper, we refer to a asymptotic degree sequence as $\mathscr{D}=(d_1,d_2,\dots,d_n)$. The examination of topological indices on trees gives us a general overview through bounds to find the maximum and minimum bounds which reflect…

In this article, we determine the maximum Wiener indices of unicyclic graphs with given number of vertices and matching number. We also characterize the extremal graphs. This solves an open problem of Du and Zhou.

We define, for any graph $G=(V,E)$, a boundary $\partial G \subseteq V$. The definition coincides with what one would expected for the discretization of (sufficiently nice) Euclidean domains and contains all vertices from the…

The eccentric connectivity index of a graph $G$, denoted by $\xi^{c}(G)$, defined as $\xi^{c}(G)$ = $\sum_{v \in V(G)}\epsilon(v) \cdot d(v)$, where $\epsilon(v)$ and $d(v)$ denotes the eccentricity and degree of a vertex $v$ in a graph…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ and $\partial(G)$ is the spectral radius of the distance matrix $D(G)$ of $G$. The transmission $D_i$ of vertex $i$ is the $i$-th row sum of $D(G)$. Denote by $D_{\max}(G)$ the maximum of…

In this note a new measure of irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G$ is introduced. It is named the total irregularity of a graph and is defined as $\irr_t(G) = 1/2\sum_{u,v \in V(G)} |d_G(u)-d_G(v)|$, where $d_G(u)$ denotes the…

Consider a drawing of a graph $G$ in the plane such that crossing edges are coloured differently. The minimum number of colours, taken over all drawings of $G$, is the classical graph parameter "thickness". By restricting the edges to be…

Let $G$ be a graph attaining the maximum spectral radius among all connected nonregular graphs of order $n$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the spectral radius of $G$. A nice conjecture due to Liu, Shen and Wang [On the…

We consider the worst-case query complexity of some variants of certain \cl{PPAD}-complete search problems. Suppose we are given a graph $G$ and a vertex $s \in V(G)$. We denote the directed graph obtained from $G$ by directing all edges in…

The bondage number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of edges whose removal from $G$ results in a graph with larger domination number. Let $G$ be embeddable on a surface whose Euler characteristic $\chi$ is as large as possible,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, where $V=\{v_1, v_2, \cdots, v_n\}$ and $m=|E|$. $d_i$ will denote the degree of vertex $v_i$ of $G$, and $\Delta=\max_{1\leq i \leq n} d_i$. The ABC matrix of $G$ is defined as $M(G)=(m_{ij})_{n \times…

Let $G=(V_G,E_G)$ be a connected graph. The distance $d_G(u,v)$ between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is the length of a shortest $u-v$ path in $G$. The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the integer $e_G(v)= \max\{ d_G(v,u) \colon u\in…

Let $m:=|E(G)|$ sufficiently large and $s:=(m-1)/3$. We show that unless the maximum degree $\Delta > 2s$, there is a weighting $w:E\cup V\to \{0,1,...,s\}$ so that $w(uv)+w(u)+w(v)\ne w(u'v')+w(u')+w(v')$ whenever $uv\ne u'v'$ (such a…

The flip-graph of a convex polygon $\pi$ is the graph whose vertices are the triangulations of $\pi$ and whose edges correspond to flips between them. The eccentricity of a triangulation $T$ of $\pi$ is the largest possible distance in this…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

The circumference of a graph $G$ is the length of a longest cycle in $G$, or $+\infty$ if $G$ has no cycle. Birmel\'e (2003) showed that the treewidth of a graph $G$ is at most its circumference minus $1$. We strengthen this result for…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…
