We introduce the total dominator edge chromatic number of a graph $G$. A total dominator edge coloring (briefly TDE-coloring) of $G$ is a proper edge coloring of $G$ in which each edge of the graph is adjacent to every edge of some color…

The distinguishing number of a graph $G$ is the smallest positive integer $r$ such that $G$ has a labeling of its vertices with $r$ labels for which there is no non-trivial automorphism of $G$ preserving these labels. Albertson and Collins…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing stability, of a graph $G$ is denoted by…

For any graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ and without isolated edges, and a positive integer $r$, by $\chi'_{\Sigma,r}(G)$ we denote the $r$-distant sum distinguishing index of $G$. This is the least integer $k$ for which a…

Given a proper total $k$-coloring $c:V(G)\cup E(G)\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ of a graph $G$, we define the value of a vertex $v$ to be $c(v) + \sum_{uv \in E(G)} c(uv)$. The smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ has a proper total $k$-coloring whose…

Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $c \in \mathbb{Z}_k$, where $\mathbb{Z}_1=\mathbb{Z}$. A graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$ is said to be $c$-sum $k$-magic if there is a labeling $\ell:E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_k \setminus \{0\}$ such that $\sum_{u \in…

It is well known that the labeling problems of graphs arise in many (but not limited to) networking and telecommunication contexts. In this paper we introduce the anti-$k$-labeling problem of graphs which we seek to minimize the similarity…

Let $r\geq 3$ be an integer and $G$ be a graph. Let $\delta(G), \Delta(G)$, $\alpha(G)$ and $\mu(G)$ denotes minimum degree, maximum degree, independence number and matching number of $G$, respectively. Recently, Caro, Davila and Pepper…

The inflated graph $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is…

We say that an edge colouring breaks an automorphism if some edge is mapped to an edge of a different colour. We say that the colouring is distinguishing if it breaks every non-identity automorphism. We show that such colouring can be…

A {\em strong $k$-edge-coloring} of a graph $G$ is a mapping from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that every two adjacent edges or two edges adjacent to the same edge receive distinct colors. The {\em strong chromatic index} $\chi_s'(G)$…

Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov conjectured in 1999 that for every finite graph $F$, there exists a quantity $c(F)$ such that $\chi(G) \leq (c(F) + o(1)) \Delta / \log\Delta$ whenever $G$ is an $F$-free graph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The…

We study \emph{edge-sum distinguishing labeling}, a type of labeling recently introduced by Tuza in [Zs. Tuza, \textit{Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics} 60, (2017), 61-68] in context of labeling games. An \emph{ESD labeling} of an…

For a graph $G$ and a list assignment $L$ with $|L(v)|=k$ for all $v$, an $L$-packing consists of $L$-colorings $\varphi_1,\cdots,\varphi_k$ such that $\varphi_i(v)\ne\varphi_j(v)$ for all $v$ and all distinct $i,j\in\{1,\ldots,k\}$. Let…

Extremal problems involving the enumeration of graph substructures have a long history in graph theory. For example, the number of independent sets in a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices is at most $(2^{d+1}-1)^{n/2d}$ by the Kahn-Zhao…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A (proper) $k$-edge-coloring is a coloring of the edges of $G$ such that any pair of edges sharing an endpoint receive distinct colors. A classical result of Vizing ensures that any simple graph $G$ admits a…

We introduce a notion of a girth-regular graph as a $k$-regular graph for which there exists a non-descending sequence $(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k)$ (called the signature) giving, for every vertex $u$ of the graph, the number of girth cycles the…

The $k$-token graph $T_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of vertices of a graph $G$, with two vertices of $T_k(G)$ adjacent if their symmetric difference is an edge of $G$. We explore when $T_k(G)$ is a well-covered…

For a graph $G$ without isolated vertices, the inverse degree of a graph $G$ is defined as $ID(G)=\sum_{u\in V(G)}d(u)^{-1}$ where $d(u)$ is the number of vertices adjacent to the vertex $u$ in $G$. By replacing $-1$ by any non-zero real…

A $ k $-page book drawing of a graph $ G $ is a drawing of $ G $ on $ k $ halfplanes with common boundary $ l $, a line, where the vertices are on $ l $ and the edges cannot cross $ l $. The $ k $-page book crossing number of the graph $ G…
