A graph G is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function w is defined on its vertices. Then G is w-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight. For…

We study almost complete intersections ideals whose Rees algebras are extremal in the sense that some of their fundamental metrics---depth or relation type---have maximal or minimal values in the class. The focus is on those ideals that…

One studies the structure of the Rees algebra of an almost complete intersection monomial ideal of finite co-length in a polynomial ring over a field, assuming that the least pure powers of the variables contained in the ideal have the same…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

A family of independent $r$-sets of a graph $G$ is an $r$-star if every set in the family contains some fixed vertex $v$. A graph is $r$-EKR if the maximum size of an intersecting family of independent $r$-sets is the size of an $r$-star.…

In this paper, a new concept in graphs namely well-f-coveredness is introduced. We characterize all graphs with such property, whose maximum induced forests are of boundary order. Also we prove several propositions concerning with obtaining…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all maximal independent sets of $G$ have the same cardinality. In 1992 Topp and Volkmann investigated the structure of well-covered graphs that have nontrivial factorizations with respect to some of the…

In this note, we give some necessary conditions for an $r$-partite graph such that the edge ring of the graph is Cohen-Macaulay. It is proved that if $G$ is an $r$-partite Cohen-Macaulay graph which is covered by some disjoint cliques of…

A graph is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. This well studied concept was introduced by Plummer in 1970 and naturally generalizes to the weighted case. Given a graph $G$, a real-valued vertex…

A simple graph G is said to be well-f-covered, whenever any two maximal induced forest in G be of the same order. In this note, well-f-coveredness of lexicographic product of two graphs in case where the first component is empty, is…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if every minimal vertex cover of $G$ is minimum, and a graph $G$ is well-dominated if every minimal dominating set of $G$ is minimum. Studies on well-covered graphs were initiated in [Plummer, JCT 1970], and…

A graph is called matching covered if for its every edge there is a maximum matching containing it. It is shown that minimal matching covered graphs contain a perfect matching.

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $I(G)$ denote the corresponding edge ideal. In this paper we prove that if $G$ is a very well-covered graph then for all $s \geq 2$ the regularity of $I(G)^s$ is exactly $2s+\nu(G)-1$.

Let $k\geq 3$ be an integer and $G$ be a very well-covered graph with ${\rm odd-girth}(G)\geq 2k+1$. Assume that $I(G)$ is the edge ideal of $G$. We show that for every integer $s$ with $1\leq s\leq k-2$, we have ${\rm…

We show that for a vertex decomposable simplicial complex $\Delta$, the Rees algebra of $I_{\Delta^{\vee}}$ is a normal Cohen-Macaulay domain. As consequences, we show that any squarefree weakly polymatroidal ideal is normal and we obtain…

A set of edges $F$ in a graph $G$ is an edge dominating set if every edge in $G$ is either in $F$ or shares a vertex with an edge in $F$. $G$ is said to be well-edge-dominated if all of its minimal edge dominating sets have the same…

Given a graph G=(V, E), a vertex is said to ve-dominate an edge if it is either incident with the edge or adjacent to one of its endpoints. A set of vertices is a ve-dominating set if it ve-dominates every edge of the graph. We introduce…
