In this paper we count all the subpaths of a given graph G; including the subpaths of length zero, and we call this quantity the subpath number of G. The subpath number is related to the extensively studied number of subtrees, as it can be…
A cactus is a connected graph in which each edge is contained in at most one cycle. We generalize the concept of cactus graphs, i.e., a $k$-cactus is a connected graph in which each edge is contained in at most $k$ cycles where $k\ge 1$. It…
A graph $G$ is called a cactus if each block of $G$ is either an edge or a cycle. Denote by $Cact(n;t)$ the set of connected cacti possessing $n$ vertices and $t$ cycles. In this paper, we show that there are some errors in [J. Du, G. Su,…
A geodesic is a shortest path which connects a pair of vertices of a graph G. In this paper we define the geodesic subpath number gpn(G) of a graph G as the number of geodesics in G. The number of subtrees and subpaths are already studied…

A vertex whose removal in a graph $G$ increases the number of components of $G$ is called a cut vertex. For all $n,c$, we determine the maximum number of connected induced subgraphs in a connected graph with order $n$ and $c$ cut vertices,…
Let $A(G)$ be the adjacent matrix and $D(G)$ the diagonal matrix of the degrees of a graph $G$, respectively. For $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$, the $A_{\alpha}$ matrix $A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G) +(1-\alpha)A(G)$ is given by Nikiforov. Clearly,…
A graph is sub-unicyclic if it contains at most one cycle. We also say that a graph $G$ is $k$-apex sub-unicyclic if it can become sub-unicyclic by removing $k$ of its vertices. We identify 29 graphs that are the minor-obstructions of the…
The edge-Wiener index $W_e(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the sum of distances between all pairs of edges of $G$. A connected graph $G$ is said to be a cactus if each of its blocks is either a cycle or an edge. Let $\mathcal{G}_{n,t}$…
The edge Szeged index and edge-vertex Szeged index of a graph are defined as $Sz_{e}(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}m_{u}(uv|G)m_{v}(uv|G)$ and $Sz_{ev}(G)=\frac{1}{2} \sum\limits_{uv \in E(G)}[n_{u}(uv|G)m_{v}(uv|G)+n_{v}(uv|G)m_{u}(uv|G)],$…
Let $\prod(G)$ be Multiplicative Zagreb index of a graph G. A connected graph is a cactus graph if and only if any two of its cycles have at most one vertex in common, which has been the interest of researchers in the filed of material…
Various topological indices, based on the distances between the vertices of a graph, are widely used in theoretical chemistry. The degree resistance distance of a graph $G$ is defined as ${D_R}(G) = \sum\limits_{\{u,v\} \subseteq V(G)}…

The subgraph number of a vertex in a graph is defined as the number of connected subgraphs containing that vertex. The graph and its vertex which correspond to the minimum subgraph number among all graphs on $n$ vertices and $k$ cut…
The vertex PI index $PI(G) = \sum_{xy \in E(G)} [n_{xy}(x) + n_{xy}(y)]$ is a distance-based molecular structure descriptor, where $n_{xy}(x)$ denotes the number of vertices which are closer to the vertex $x$ than to the vertex $y$ and…
A cactus graph is a connected graph in which every block is either an edge or a cycle. In this paper, we consider several problems of graph theory and developed optimal algorithms to solve such problems on cactus graphs. The running time of…
A network can be analyzed by means of many graph theoretical parameters. In the context of networks analysis, closeness is a structural metric that evaluates a node's significance inside a network. A cactus is a connected graph in which any…
We prove that, for the edge ideal of a cactus graph, the arithmetical rank is bounded above by the sum of the number of cycles and the maximum height of its associated primes. The bound is sharp, but in many cases it can be improved.…
Over all graphs (or unicyclic graphs) of a given order, we characterise those graphs that minimise or maximise the number of connected induced subgraphs. For each of these classes, we find that the graphs that minimise the number of…
The vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of a graph G is the size of a smallest vertex set in G which distinguishes all pairs of vertices (resp. edges) in G and it is denoted by dim(G) (resp. edim(G)). The upper bounds dim(G) <= 2c(G) - 1…
