An edge colored graph is said to contain rainbow-$F$ if $F$ is a subgraph and every edge receives a different color. In 2007, Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov, and Verstra\"ete introduced the \emph{rainbow extremal number} $\mathrm{ex}^*(n,F)$, a…

Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$ without isolated edges and with maximum degree $\Delta$. Given a colouring $c:E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$, the weighted degree of a vertex $v\in V$ is the sum of its incident colours, i.e., $\sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$. For any…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph. The first Zagreb index and the forgotten topological index of a graph $G$ are defined respectively as $\sum_{u \in V} d^2(u)$ and $\sum_{u \in V} d^3(u)$, where $d(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$ in $G$. If the…

The energy $E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of $G$. An $n$-vertex graph is said to be hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n$ and strongly hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n-1$. In this paper, we consider…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring $c: E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,...,q\},$ $q \in \mathbb{N}$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree $T$ in $G$ is a $rainbow tree$ if no two edges of $T$ receive the…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The edge revised Szeged index of $G$ is defined as $Sz^{\ast}_{e}(G)=\sum\limits_{e=uv\in E(G)}(m_{u}(e|G)+\frac{m_{0}(e|G)}{2})(m_{v}(e|G)+\frac{m_{0}(e|G)}{2})$, where $m_{u}(e|G)$ (resp., $m_{v}(e|G)$) is…

The Randi{\' c} index of a graph $G$, written $R(G)$, is the sum of $\frac 1{\sqrt{d(u)d(v)}}$ over all edges $uv$ in $E(G)$. %let $R(G)=\sum_{uv \in E(G)} \frac 1{\sqrt{d(u)d(v)}}$, which is called the Randi{\' c} index of it. Let $d$ and…

For a set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$, a vertex $u$ in $V(G)\setminus S$, and a vertex $v$ in $S$, let ${\rm dist}_{(G,S)}(u,v)$ be the distance of $u$ and $v$ in the graph $G-(S\setminus \{ v\})$. Dankelmann et al. (Domination with…

The zeroth-order general Randi\'c index of graph $G=(V_G,E_G)$, denoted by $^0R_{\alpha}(G)$, is the sum of items $(d_{v})^{\alpha}$ over all vertices $v\in V_G$, where $\alpha$ is a pertinently chosen real number. In this paper, we obtain…

A graph $G$ is called collapsible if for every even subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, there is a spanning connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $R$ is the set of vertices of odd degree in $H$. A graph is the reduction of $G$ if it is obtained…
