We introduce the strong alliance polynomial of a graph. The strong alliance polynomial of a graph $G$ with order n and strong defensive alliance number $a(G)$ is the polynomial $a(G;x):=\sum_{i=a(G)}^{n}\, a_i(G)\ x^i$, where $a_{k}(G)$ is…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an energy graph as a simple, directed and vertex labeled graph $G$ such that the arcs $(v_i, v_j) \notin A(G)$ if $i > j$ for all distinct pairs $v_i,v_j$ and at least one vertex $v_k$ exists such…

Let $G$ be a simple, connected graph and let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. If $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of $G$, then for every real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ is defined as…

The energy of a graph was introduced by {\sc Gutman} in 1978 as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs, which can be characterized…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The {\em domination polynomial} of $G$ is the polynomial ${D(G, x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Let $n$ be any positive integer…
