A 2-factor of a graph is a 2-regular spanning subgraph. For a graph $G$ and an independent set $I$ of $G$, let $\delta_G(I)$ denote the minimum degree of vertices contained in $I$. We show that (1) if every independent set $I$ of $G$…

Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…

For a graph $G$, $k(G)$ denotes its connectivity. A graph is super connected if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex. Also $k_{1}$-connectivity of a connected graph is the minimum number of vertices whose deletion gives a disconnected…

A set $D$ of vertices in an isolate-free graph $G$ is a semitotal dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set of $G$ and every vertex in $D$ is within distance $2$ from another vertex of $D$.The semitotal domination number of $G$ is…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set such that the two resulting parts differ in size by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges that connect vertices in the two parts. The perfect matching condition and…

The \emph{distance-number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge-lengths over all straight-line drawings of $G$ in the plane. This definition generalises many well-known concepts in combinatorial geometry. We consider the…

A balanced bipartite graph $G$ is said to be $2p$-Hamilton-biconnected if for any balanced subset $W$ of size $2p$ of $V(G)$, the subgraph induced by $V(G)\backslash W$ is Hamilton-biconnected. In this paper, we prove that "Let $p\geq0$ and…

Let $G$ be a graph. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is independent if its elements are pairwise non-adjacent. A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is shedding if for every independent set $S \subseteq V(G) \setminus N[v]$ there exists $u \in N(v)$ such that $S…

A $k$-regular graph is called a divisible design graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $m$ classes of size $n$, such that two distinct vertices from the same class have exactly $\lambda_1$ common neighbours, and two vertices from…

Let $G$ be a directed graph. A \textit{$2$-directed block} in $G$ is a maximal vertex set $C^{2d}\subseteq V$ with $|C^{2d}|\geq 2$ such that for each pair of distinct vertices $x,y \in C^{2d}$, there exist two vertex-disjoint paths from…

The distinguishing index of a simple graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of $G$ not preserved by any non-trivial automorphism. It was conjectured by Pil\'sniak (2015) that for any 2-connected…

Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices, and let $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$. Let $\partial_1(G)\ge\partial_2(G)\ge\cdots\ge\partial_n(G)$ denote the eigenvalues of $D(G)$. In this paper, we characterize all connected graphs…

Given a graph $G$, the $k$-dominating graph of $G$, $D_k(G)$, is defined to be the graph whose vertices correspond to the dominating sets of $G$ that have cardinality at most $k$. Two vertices in $D_k(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the…

The divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a finite group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $cs~(G)\setminus\{1\}$ where $cs~(G)$ is the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. Two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent whenever $a$ divides $b$ or $b$ divides…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that \-every vertex of $G$ is either in $D$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $D$. The domination number of $G$, $\gamma(G)$, is the minimum order of a dominating set. A subset $R$…

The intersection graph of a group $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices $H$…
