A connected graph $\G$ is called {\em nicely distance--balanced}, whenever there exists a positive integer $\gamma=\gamma(\G)$, such that for any two adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ there are exactly $\gamma$ vertices of $\G$ which are…
A ring is called clean if every element is the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent. This paper investigates the cleanness of AW*-algebras. We prove that all finite AW*-algebras are clean, affirmatively solving a question posed by…
We show that deciding whether a given graph $G$ of size $m$ has a unique perfect matching as well as finding that matching, if it exists, can be done in time $O(m)$ if $G$ is either a cograph, or a split graph, or an interval graph, or…
A matching in a graph $G$ is a set of independent edges in $G$. A perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a matching which saturates all the vertices of $G$. A fractional perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a function $h:E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$…
Topological indices are parameters associated with graphs that have many applications in different areas such as mathematical chemistry. Among various topological indices, the Wiener index is classical \cite{w}. In this paper, we prove a…
A graph is said to be circular-arc if the vertices can be associated with arcs of a circle so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding arcs overlap. It is proved that the isomorphism of circular-arc graphs can be…
A set D of vertices of a graph G=(V,E) is irredundant if each v of D satisfies (a) v is isolated in the subgraph induced by D, or (b) v is adjacent to a vertex in V-D that is nonadjacent to all other vertices in D. The upper irredundance…
We prove that $Aut({\mathbb S}^1)$ coincides with the automorphism group of the \emph{circle graph} $\mathcal{C}$, i.e. the intersection graph of the family of chords of ${\mathbb S}^1$. We prove that the countable subgraph of $\mathcal{C}$…
An arc-colored digraph D is properly (properly-walk) connected if, for any ordered pair of vertices $(u, v)$, the digraph $D$ contains a directed path (a directed walk) from $u$ to $v$ such that arcs adjacent on that path (on that walk)…
Considering connected $K_{1,3}$-free graphs with independence number at least $3$, Chudnovsky and Seymour (2010) showed that every such graph, say $G$, is $2\omega$-colourable where $\omega$ denotes the clique number of $G$. We study…
We study those rings in which all invertible elements are weakly nil-clean calling them {\it UWNC rings}. This somewhat extends results due to Karimi-Mansoub et al. in Contemp. Math. (2018), where rings in which all invertible elements are…
A graph is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum if there is no other non-isomorphic graph sharing the same signless Laplacian spectrum. Let $C_l$, $P_l$, $K_l$ and $K_{s,l-s}$ be the cycle, the path, the complete graph and the…
A mixed graph is said to be \textit{integral} if all the eigenvalues of its Hermitian adjacency matrix are integer. The \textit{mixed circulant graph} $Circ(\mathbb{Z}_n,\mathcal{C})$ is a mixed graph on the vertex set $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and…
We introduce the concept of a weak nil clean ring, a generalization of nil clean ring, which is nothing but a ring with unity in which every element can be expressed as sum or difference of a nilpotent and an idempotent. Further if the…
An ordering of the vertices of a graph is \emph{connected} if every vertex (but the first) has a neighbor among its predecessors. The greedy colouring algorithm of a graph with a connected order consists in taking the vertices in order, and…
Fix an integer $n \geq 1$, and consider the set of all connected finite simple graphs on $n$ vertices. For each $G$ in this set, let $I(G)$ denote the edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We initiate a study of…
An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called \emph{strongly $J$-clean} provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $a-e\in J(R)$ and $ae=ea$. A ring $R$ is \emph{strongly $J$-clean} in case every element in $R$ is strongly…
An $r$-graph is an $r$-regular graph with no odd cut of size less than $r$. A well-celebrated result due to Lov\'asz says that for such graphs the linear system $Ax = \textbf{1}$ has a solution in $\mathbb{Z}/2$, where $A$ is the $0,1$ edge…
A ring R is said to be VNL if for any a in R, either a or 1-a is (von Neumann) regular. The class of VNL rings lies properly between the exchange rings and (von Neumann) regular rings. We characterize abelian VNL rings. We also characterize…
In this paper, we investigate various algebraic and graph theoretic properties of the distance matrix of a graph. Two graphs are $D$-cospectral if their distance matrices have the same spectrum. We construct infinite pairs of $D$-cospectral…
