Let ${\rm Z}(G)$ and ${\rm gp}(G)$ be the zero forcing number and the general position number of a graph $G$, respectively. Known results imply that ${\rm gp}(T)\ge {\rm Z}(T) + 1$ holds for every nontrivial tree $T$. It is proved that the…

The generalized Kneser graph $K(n,k,t)$ for integers $k>t>0$ and $n>2k-t$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ with two vertices adjacent if and only if they share less than $t$ elements. We determine the…

The problem of characterizing graphs by their generalized spectra has received significant attention in recent years. This paper provides a complete proof of a conjecture proposed by Wang, Wang, and Zhu (European J. Combin., 2023), which…

Let $W$ be a $G$-graded algebra over a field of characteristic zero, where $G$ is a finite group. We develope a theory of generalized $G$-graded polynomial identities satisfied by any finite-dimensional $W$-algebra $A$, by mean of the…

We give a method of generating strongly polynomial sequences of graphs, i.e., sequences $(H_{\mathbf{k}})$ indexed by a multivariate parameter $\mathbf{k}=(k_1,\ldots, k_h)$ such that, for each fixed graph $G$, there is a multivariate…

General factors are a generalization of matchings. Given a graph $G$ with a set $\pi(v)$ of feasible degrees, called a degree constraint, for each vertex $v$ of $G$, the general factor problem is to find a (spanning) subgraph $F$ of $G$…

A $t$-tone coloring of a graph $G$ assigns to each vertex a set of $t$ colors such that any pair of vertices $u, v$ with distance $d$ can share at most $d-1$ colors. In this note, we prove several new results on $t$-tone coloring. For…

Let $t$ be a rooted tree and $n_i(t)$ the number of nodes in $t$ having $i$ children. The degree sequence $(n_i(t),i\geq 0)$ of $t$ satisfies $\sum_{i\ge 0} n_i(t)=1+\sum_{i\ge 0} in_i(t)=|t|$, where $|t|$ denotes the number of nodes in…

Graham-Pollak showed that for $D = D_T$ the distance matrix of a tree $T$, det$(D)$ depends only on its number of edges. Several other variants of $D$, including directed/multiplicative/$q$- versions were studied, and always, det$(D)$…

The (univariate) avalanche polynomial of a graph, introduced by Cori, Dartois and Rossin in 2006, captures the distribution of the length of (principal) avalanches in the abelian sandpile model. This polynomial has been used to show that…

In this paper, the investigates Adriatic indices, specifically the sum lordeg index where it defined as $SL(G) = \sum_{u \in V(G)} \deg_G(u) \sqrt{\ln \deg_G(u)}$ and the variable sum exdeg index $SEI_a(G)$ for $a>0$, $a\neq 1$. We present…

We introduce the sequence of generalized Gon\v{c}arov polynomials, which is a basis for the solutions to the Gon\v{c}arov interpolation problem with respect to a delta operator. Explicitly, a generalized Gon\v{c}arov basis is a sequence…

We prove that if a tree $T$ has $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$, then a copy of $T$ can almost surely be found in the random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,\Delta\log^5 n/n)$.

A family of polynomials parameterized by the conjugacy classes of a finite Coxeter group is investigated. These polynomials, together with the character table of the group, determine the associated generic degrees. The polynomials are…

In this work, we relate girth and path-degeneracy in classes with sub-exponential expansion, with explicit bounds for classes with polynomial expansion and proper minor-closed classes that are tight up to a constant factor (and tight up to…

A topological index of a graph $G$ is a real number which is preserved under isomorphism. Extensive studies on certain polynomials related to these topological indices have also been done recently. In a similar way, chromatic versions of…

Given a graph $G$, a total dominating set $D_t$ is a vertex set that every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D_t$ and let $d_t(G,i)$ be the number of all total dominating sets with size $i$. The total domination polynomial,…

(d+1)-colored graphs, i.e. edge-colored graphs that are (d+1)-regular, have already been proved to be a useful representation tool for compact PL d-manifolds, thus extending the theory (known as crystallization theory) originally developed…
