Directed acyclic graphs whose nodes are all the divisors of a positive integer $n$ and arcs $(a,b)$ defined by $a$ divides $b$ are considered. Fourteen graph invariants such as order, size, and the number of paths are investigated for two…
The paper characterizes $(2t+1)$-regular graphs with circular flow number $2 + \frac{2}{2t-1}$. For $t=1$ this is Tutte's characterization of cubic graphs with flow number 4. The class of cubic graphs is the only class of odd regular graphs…
A graph $\Gamma$ is called edge-regular whenever it is regular and for any two adjacent vertices, the number of their common neighbors is independent of the choice of vertices. A clique $C$ in $\Gamma$ is called regular whenever for any…
We characterize the computational power of neural networks that follow the graph neural network (GNN) architecture, not restricted to aggregate-combine GNNs or other particular types. We establish an exact correspondence between the…
An ILD-set in a connected graph is a subset $S$ of vertices such that it is both independent and locating-dominating. The independent locating-dominating number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of an ILD-set set of $G$. A well-known…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and an integer $k$ between 1 and $n-1$, the $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ has vertices representing the $k$-subsets of $V$, and two vertices are adjacent if their symmetric difference is the two…
The Collatz conjecture states that repeated steps of $n\mathrm{\to }\mathrm{3}n\mathrm{+1}$ at odd numbers and $n\mathrm{\to }n\mathrm{/2}$ at even numbers amount to walks over root paths to the branching number $c=4$ in the `trivial'…
We study the basic properties of a prime sum graph, which is a simple graph defined on $\mathbb N$ where two vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is a prime number. Further, we investigate some specific structures that appear…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be odd (or even, resp.) if $d_G(v)$ is odd (or even, resp.) for any $v\in V$. Trivially, the order of an odd graph must be even. In this paper, we show that every 4-edge connected graph of even order has a…
A graph admitting an automorphism with two orbits of the same length is called a bicirculant. Recently, Jajcay et al. initiated the investigation of the edge-transitive bicirculants with the properties that one of the subgraphs induced by…
A cograph is a simple graph which contains no path on 4 vertices as an induced subgraph. The vicinal preorder on the vertex set of a graph is defined in terms of inclusions among the neighborhoods of vertices. The minimum number of chains…
For families of 4-regular directed circulant graphs with $n$ vertices, we count the number of primitive periodic orbits of length up to at least $n$. The relevant counting techniques are then extended to count the number of primitive pseudo…
The edge betweenness centrality of an edge is loosely defined as the fraction of shortest paths between all pairs of vertices passing through that edge. In this paper, we investigate graphs where the edge betweenness centrality of edges is…
The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper we study convex graph invariants, which are graph invariants…
A $(k,g,\underline{g+1})$-graph is a $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ which does not contain cycles of length $g+1$. Such graphs are known to exist for all parameter pairs $k \geq 3, g \geq 3 $, and we focus on determining the orders…
A graph is almost bipartite if it contains exactly one odd cycle, and it is Konig-Egervary if the sum of the independence number and the matching number equals the order of the graph. We introduce the class of Bipartite-Almost Bipartite…
A graph $\Gamma = (V,E)$ of order $n$ is {\em distance magic} if it admits a bijective labeling $\ell \colon V \to \{1,2, \ldots, n\}$ of its vertices for which there exists a positive integer $\kappa$ such that $\sum_{u \in N(v)} \ell(u) =…
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…
The inertia of a graph $G$ is defined to be the triplet $In(G) = (p(G), n(G), $ $\eta(G))$, where $p(G)$, $n(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ are the numbers of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues (including multiplicities) of the adjacency matrix…
