A graph $G$ is $d$-distinguishable if there is a coloring of the vertices with $d$ colors so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the color classes. The smallest such $d$ is the distinguishing number, $\operatorname{Dist}(G)$. The…
Colouring the vertices of a graph $G$ according to certain conditions can be considered as a random experiment and a discrete random variable $X$ can be defined as the number of vertices having a particular colour in the proper colouring of…
A set $S$ of vertices is a determining set for a graph $G$ if every automorphism of $G$ is uniquely determined by its action on $S$. The size of a smallest determining set for $G$ is called its determining number, $Det(G)$. A graph $G$ is…
The classical Mycielski transformation allows for constructing from a given graph the new one, with an arbitrarily large chromatic number but preserving the size of the largest clique contained in it. This particular construction and its…
The distinguishing index gives a measure of symmetry in a graph. Given a graph $G$ with no $K_2$ component, a distinguishing edge coloring is a coloring of the edges of $G$ such that no non-trivial automorphism preserves the edge coloring.…
In this paper, we introduce a connection between two classical concepts of graph theory: \; metric dimension and distinguishing number. For a given graph $G$, let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ represent its metric dimension and distinguishing…
The general position problem for graphs was inspired by the no-three-in-line problem from discrete geometry. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{general position set} if no shortest path in $G$ contains three or more vertices of…
In this paper, we define the Mycielskian of a signed graph and discuss the properties of balance and switching in the Mycielskian of a given signed graph. We provide a condition for ensuring the Mycielskian of a balanced signed graph…
In this paper, we investigate circular chromatic number of Mycielski construction of graphs. It was shown in \cite{MR2279672} that $t^{{\rm th}}$ Mycielskian of the Kneser graph $KG(m,n)$ has the same circular chromatic number and chromatic…
The immersion number of a graph $G$, denoted im$(G)$, is the largest $t$ such that $G$ has a $K_t$-immersion. In this note we are interested in determining the immersion number of the $m$-Mycielskian of $G$, denoted $\mu_m(G)$. Given the…
Given a graph $G$, a mutual-visibility coloring of $G$ is introduced as follows. We color two vertices $x,y\in V(G)$ with a same color, if there is a shortest $x,y$-path whose internal vertices have different colors than $x,y$. The smallest…
Praeger-Xu graphs are connected, symmetric, 4-regular graphs that are unusual both in that their automorphism groups are large, and in that vertex stabilizer subgroups are also large. Determining number and distinguishing number are…
The concept of the brush number $b_r(G)$ was introduced for a simple connected undirected graph $G$. The concept will be applied to the Mycielskian graph $\mu(G)$ of a simple connected graph $G$ to find $b_r(\mu(G))$ in terms of an…
In the generalized truncation construction, one replaces each vertex of a $k$-regular graph $\Gamma$ with a copy of a graph $\Upsilon$ of order $k$. We investigate the symmetry properties of the graphs constructed in this way, especially in…
The parameter $\sigma(G)$ of a graph $G$ stands for the number of Laplacian eigenvalues greater than or equal to the average degree of $G$. In this work, we address the problem of characterizing those graphs $G$ having $\sigma(G)=1$. Our…
The Mycielskian is a standard construction studied in many an introductory graph theory course. It is natural to consider Mycielskians of cycles, some of the simplest of all graphs. This paper deals with the so-called ``dimension'' of such…
In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph into a new graph which is called the Mycielskian of that graph. In this paper we provide some…
In this paper we investigate a parameter of graphs, called the circular altitude, introduced by Peter Cameron. We show that the circular altitude provides a lower bound on the circular chromatic number, and hence on the chromatic number, of…
This is an introduction to graph theory, from a geometric and analytic viewpoint. A finite graph $X$ is described by its adjacency matrix $d\in M_N(0,1)$, which can be thought of as being a kind of discrete Laplacian, and we first discuss…
We investigate the effect of the generalized Mycielski construction $M_r(G)$ on the complementary fractional Haemers bound $\bar{\mathcal{H}}_f(G; \mathbb{F})$, a parameter that depends on a graph $G$ and a field $\mathbb{F}$. The effect of…
