A graceful difference labeling (gdl for short) of a directed graph G with vertex set V is a bijection f between V and {1,...,|V|} such that, when each arc uv is assigned the difference label f(v)-f(u), the resulting arc labels are distinct.…

Let $k,l$ be nonnegative integers. A graph $G$ is $(k,l)$-polar if its vertex set admits a partition $(A,B)$ such that $A$ induces a complete multipartite graph with at most $k$ parts, and $B$ induces a disjoint union of at most $l$ cliques…

In a directed graph $D$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V$ is a total dominating set if every vertex of $D$ has an in-neighbor from $S$. A total dominating set exists if and only if every vertex has at least one in-neighbor. We call the…

Strongly chordal digraphs are included in the class of chordal digraphs and generalize strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. They are the digraphs that admit a linear ordering of its vertex set for which their adjacency…

We introduce two new measures of the noncordiality of a graph. We then calculate the values of these measures for various families of noncordial graphs. We also determine exactly which of the M\"obius ladders are cordial.

The dichromatic number of a digraph is the minimum size of a partition of its vertices into acyclic induced subgraphs. Given a class of digraphs $\mathcal C$, a digraph $H$ is a hero in $\mc C$ if $H$-free digraphs of $\mathcal C$ have…

If $A$ is a finite Abelian group, then a labeling $f \colon E (G) \rightarrow A$ of the edges of some graph $G$ induces a vertex labeling on $G$; the vertex $u$ receives the label $\sum_{v\in N(u)}f (v)$, where $N(u)$ is an open…

A simple and connected $n$-vertex graph has a prime vertex labeling if the vertices can be injectively labeled with the integers $1, 2, 3,\ldots, n$, such that adjacent vertices have relatively prime labels. We will present previously…

A graph of order $n$ is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices with integers from $1$ to $n$ such that each vertex has the same sum of the labels of its neighbors. This paper contributes to the long term project of…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a finite non-simple directed graph, called an ornated graph and initiate a study on ornated graphs. An ornated graph is a directed graph on $n$ vertices, denoted by $O_n(s_l)$, whose vertices are…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…

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…

An acyclic digraph each vertex of which has indegree at most $i$ and outdegree at most $j$ is called an $(i, j)$ digraph for some positive integers $i$ and $j$. Lee {\it et al.} (2017) studied the phylogeny graphs of $(2, 2)$ digraphs and…

A graph is subcubic if it is connected and its maximum vertex degree does not exceed 3. Two disjoint vertex subsets of a graph $G$ form a connected coalition in $G$ if neither of them is a connected dominating set but their union is a…

A graph $(p, q)$ graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be $(k, d)$-hooked Skolem graceful if there exists a bijection $f:V (G)\rightarrow \{1, 2, \dots, p-1, p+1\}$ such that the induced edge labeling $g_f : E \rightarrow \{k, k+d, \dots, k+(n-1)d…

An $L(d,1)$-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment of nonnegative integers to the vertices such that adjacent vertices receive labels that differ by at least $d$ and those at a distance of two receive labels that differ by at least one,…

A labeling of a digraph $D$ with $m$ arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of $D$ to $\{1, \ldots, m\}$. A labeling of $D$ is antimagic if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u\in V(D)$ for…

A graph is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices by integers from $1$ up to the order of the graph in such a way that the sum of the labels of all the neighbors of a vertex is independent of a given vertex. We…
