Let $\Gamma$ be a finite connected graph and $G$ a vertex-transitive group of its automorphisms. The pair $(\Gamma, G)$ is said to be locally-$L$ if the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the set of…

We determine the extremal graph $G$ of order $n$ that maximizes the sum of the spectral radii of $G$ and its complement. This resolves a conjecture posed by Stevanovi\'{c} in 2007.

We consider extremal problems for subgraphs of pseudorandom graphs. For graphs $F$ and $\Gamma$ the generalized Tur\'an density $\pi_F(\Gamma)$ denotes the density of a maximum subgraph of $\Gamma$, which contains no copy of~$F$. Extending…

A directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) is pseudo-transitive with respect to a given subset of edges E1, if for any edge ab in E1 and any edge bc in E, we have ac in E. We give algorithms for computing longest chains and demonstrate geometric…

The stress interval $S(u,v)$ between $u,v\in V(G)$ is the set of all vertices in a graph $G$ that lie on every shortest $u,v$-path. A set $U \subseteq V(G)$ is stress convex if $S(u,v) \subseteq U$ for any $u,v\in U$. A vertex $v \in V(G)$…

Let $tK_4$ denote the family of all graphs consisting of $t$ copies of $K_4$ that are allowed to share vertices and $t\mathcal{K}_{4}^{-}$ be the set of all unbalanced signed graphs whose underlying graphs are elements of $tK_4$. In this…

A complex unit gain graph ($\mathbb{T}$-gain graph), $\Phi = (G, \varphi)$ is a graph where the function $\varphi$ assigns a unit complex number to each orientation of an edge of $G$, and its inverse is assigned to the opposite orientation.…

The eccentricity matrix $\epsilon(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is obtained by retaining the maximum distance from each row and column of the distance matrix of $G$ and the other entries are assigned with 0. In this paper, we discuss the…

Let $G$ be a (multi)graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. The maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted by $\kappa_G(u,v)$, and the maximum number of edge-disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be a \textit{$k$-threshold graph} with \textit{thresholds} $\theta_1<\theta_2<...<\theta_k$ if there is a map $r: V \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $uv\in E$ if and only if $\theta_i\le r(u)+r(v)$ holds…

For a simple graph $G$, a vertex labeling $\phi:V(G) \rightarrow \{1, 2,\ldots,k\}$ is called $k$-labeling. The weight of an edge $uv$ in $G$, written $w_{\phi}(uv)$, is the sum of the labels of end vertices $u$ and $v$, i.e.,…

Many existing degree based topological indices can be classified as bond incident degree (BID) indices, whose general form is $BID(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}$ $\Psi(d_{u},d_{v})$, where $uv$ is the edge connecting the vertices $u,v$ of the graph…
