\noindent Let $G$ be a simple graph. For any $k\in N$, the $k-$power of $G$ is a simple graph $G^k$ with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $\{xy:d_G(x,y)\leq k\}$ and the $k-$subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{\frac{1}{k}}$, which is…

Given a finite nonempty sequence $S$ of integers, write it as $XY^k$, consisting of a prefix $X$ (which may possibly be empty), followed by $k$ copies of a non-empty string $Y$. Then, the greatest such integer $k$ is called the curling…

In a RAC drawing of a graph, vertices are represented by points in the plane, adjacent vertices are connected by line segments, and crossings must form right angles. Graphs that admit such drawings are RAC graphs. RAC graphs are…

Consider a graph $\Gamma$. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic vertex cutset, then it…

A typical result in graph theory says that a graph $G$, satisfying certain conditions, has some property $\cal P$. Once such a theorem is established, it is natural to ask how strongly $G$ satisfies $\cal P$. Can one strengthen the result…

A graph $G$ is {\it $n$-existentially closed} if, for all disjoint sets of vertices $A$ and $B$ with $|A\cup B|=n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A\cup B$ adjacent to each vertex of $A$ and to no vertex of $B$. In this paper, we investigate…

A graph is c-closed if every pair of vertices with at least c common neighbors is adjacent. The c-closure of a graph G is the smallest number such that G is c-closed. Fox et al. [ICALP '18] defined c-closure and investigated it in the…

We study the metric dimension (strong and weak) of infinite graphs. In particular, our main interest is characterizing infinite graphs with finite dimension. Our main results: (1) graphs with more than one end have infinite strong…

A hereditary class H of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a $\chi$-binding function f such that for every $G$ in $H$, $\chi(G)$ less than or equal to $f(\omega(G))$. Here we prove that if a graph $G$ is free of 1. {Chair; P$_4$+K$_1$} or…

We study the regularity of small symbolic powers and integral closure of small powers of edge ideals. We also prove that the regularity of integral closure of powers of edge ideals of graphs with at most two odd cycles is the same as the…

Recently, Kim and Park have found an infinite family of graphs whose squares are not chromatic-choosable. Xuding Zhu asked whether there is some $k$ such that all $k$th power graphs are chromatic-choosable. We answer this question in the…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is a power of the other. Let $n=p_1^{n_1}p_2^{n_2}\cdots p_r^{n_r},$ where…

The enhanced power graph of a group $G$ is the graph $P_e(G)$ whose vertex set is $G$, such that two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$, are adjacent if $\langle x, y\rangle$ is cyclic. In this paper, we analyze the structure of the enhanced…

Call a graph $G$ zero-forcing for a finite abelian group $\mathcal{G}$ if for every $\ell : V(G) \to \mathcal{G}$ there is a connected $A \subseteq V(G)$ with $\sum_{a \in A} \ell(a) = 0$. The problem we pose here is to characterise the…

Let $ G $ be a simple graph with the vertex cover number $ \tau $. The energy $ \mathcal{E}(G) $ of $ G $ is the sum of the absolute values of all the adjacency eigenvalues of $ G $. In this article, we establish $ \mathcal{E}(G)\geq 2\tau…

We introduce the class of circular-arc H-graphs, which generalizes circular-arc graphs, particularly circular-arc bigraphs. We investigate two types of ordering-based characterizations of circular-arc r-graphs. Finally, we provide forbidden…

The enhanced power graph, $\mathcal{E}(G)$, of a group $G$ has vertex set $G$ and two elements are adjacent if they generate a cyclic subgroup. In the case of finite groups, we identify some striking and unexpected properties of these…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $\mathcal{P}(G)$ a graph parameter. We say that $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is feasible if $\mathcal{P}(G)$ satisfies the following properties: (I) $\mathcal{P}(G)\leq \mathcal{P}(G_{uv})$, if $G_{uv}=G[u\to v]$ for…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labelled positive or negative. The sign of a circle (cycle, circuit) is the product of the signs of its edges. Most of the essential properties of a signed graph depend on the signs of its circles.…

In this paper, we give a characterization of the class of all circular-arc graphs whose schemes are association. Moreover, all association schemes which are the scheme of a circular-arc graph are characterized, specially it is proved that…
