For a simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, let $d(u)$ be the degree of the vertex $u$ of $G$. The general Sombor index of $G$ is defined as $$SO_{\alpha}(G)=\sum_{uv\in E} \left[d(u)^2+d(v)^2\right]^\alpha$$ where $SO(G)=SO_{0.5}(G)$ is the…

A maximal geodesic in a graph is a geodesic (alias shortest path) which is not a subpath of a longer geodesic. The geodesic-transversal problem in a graph $G$ is introduced as the task to find a smallest set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that…

A vertex $v\in V$ is said to resolve two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $d_G(v,x)\ne d_G(v,y)$. A set $S\subset V$ is said to be a metric generator for $G$ if any pair of vertices of $G$ is resolved by some element of $S$. A minimum metric…

In this paper, we study the computational complexity of finding the \emph{geodetic number} of graphs. A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{geodetic set} if any vertex of $G$ lies in some shortest path between some pair of…

A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{dominating set} if each vertex of $G$ either belongs to $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The \emph{domination number} $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of $S$ as $S$ varies over…

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 $v \in V(G)$…

A set of vertices $S$ \emph{resolves} a connected graph $G$ if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in $S$. The \emph{metric dimension} of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set of $G$.…

A walk $u_0u_1 \ldots u_{k-1}u_k$ of a graph $G$ is a \textit{weakly toll walk} if $u_0u_k \not\in E(G)$, $u_0u_i \in E(G)$ implies $u_i = u_1$, and $u_ju_k\in E(G)$ implies $u_j=u_{k-1}$. The {\em weakly toll interval} of a set $S…

A graph composition is a partition of the vertex set such that each member of the partition induces a connected sub- graph, and the composition number of a graph is the number of possible graph compositions. A partition of a set S of…

Given a graph $G$ and a set $S \subseteq V(G)$, we say that $S$ is $\Delta$-convex if the neighborhood of every vertex not in $S$ is an independent set. A collection ${\cal V} = (V_1, V_2, \ldots , V_p)$ of convex sets of $G$ is a convex…

A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex of $G$, which is not in $D$, has a neighbor in $D$. A set of vertices $D$ in $G$ is convex (respectively, isometric), if all vertices in all shortest paths…

If $x\in V(G)$, then $S\subseteq V(G)\setminus\{x\}$ is an $x$-visibility set if for any $y\in S$ there exists a shortest $x,y$-path avoiding $S$. The $x$-visibility number $v_x(G)$ is the maximum cardinality of an $x$-visibility set, and…

Any finite simple graph $G = (V,E)$ can be represented by a collection $\mathscr{C}$ of subsets of $V$ such that $uv\in E$ if and only if $u$ and $v$ appear together in an odd number of sets in $\mathscr{C}$. Let $c_2(G)$ denote the minimum…
