In this paper we compute first and second Zagreb indices of commuting and non-commuting graphs of finite groups and determine several classes of finite groups such that their commuting and non-commuting graphs satisfy Hansen-Vuki\v{c}evi\'c…

Extremal Graph Theory is a very deep and wide area of modern combinatorics. It is very fast developing, and in this long but relatively short survey we select some of those results which either we feel very important in this field or which…

Let $I(G)$ be a topological index of a graph. If $I(G+e)<I(G)$ (or $I(G+e)>I(G)$, respectively) for each edge $e\not\in G$, then $I(G)$ is monotonically decreasing (or increasing, respectively) with the addition of edges. In this article,…

This article provides structural characterization of simple graphs whose edge-set can be partitioned into maximum matchings. We use Vizing's classification of simple graphs based on edge chromatic index.

We describe all the trees with the property that the corresponding edge ideal of their line graph has a linear resolution. As a consequence, we give a complete characterization of those trees $T$ for which the line graph $L(T)$ is…

Graph theory provides powerful tools for modeling concepts in number theory, leading to the introduction of graphs derived from arithmetic properties. One such structure is the divisor prime graph, $G_{Dp(n)}$. For any positive integer $n$,…

We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of…

We show that for any constant $\Delta \ge 2$, there exists a graph $G$ with $O(n^{\Delta / 2})$ vertices which contains every $n$-vertex graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ as an induced subgraph. For odd $\Delta$ this significantly improves…

The revised Szeged index $Sz^*(G)$ is defined as $Sz^*(G)=\sum_{e=uv \in E}(n_u(e)+ n_0(e)/2)(n_v(e)+ n_0(e)/2),$ where $n_u(e)$ and $n_v(e)$ are, respectively, the number of vertices of $G$ lying closer to vertex $u$ than to vertex $v$ and…

The systematic study of Tur\'an-type extremal problems for edge-ordered graphs was initiated by Gerbner et al. in 2020. Here we characterize connected edge-ordered graphs with linear extremal functions and show that the extremal function of…

Do\v{s}li\'{c} et al. defined the Mostar index of a graph $G$ as $Mo(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}|n_G(u,v)-n_G(v,u)|$, where, for an edge $uv$ of $G$, the term $n_G(u,v)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ that have a smaller distance in…

We survey various aspects of infinite extremal graph theory and prove several new results. The lead role play the parameters connectivity and degree. This includes the end degree. Many open problems are suggested.
