Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$. For a subset $M$ of $E(G)$, we denote by $G[V(M)]$ the subgraph of $G$ induced by the endvertices of edges in $M$. We call $M$ a semistrong matching if each edge of $M$ is…

A strong edge coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to the edges of $G$ such that two distinct edges are colored differently if they are incident to a common edge or share an endpoint. The strong chromatic index of a graph $G$,…

The strong chromatic index of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_s'(G)$, is the least number of colors needed to edge-color $G$ so that edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. The strong list chromatic index, denoted…

Recently, based on elementary geometry, Gutman proposed several geometry-based invariants (i.e., $SO$, $SO_{1}$, $SO_{2}$, $SO_{3}$, $SO_{4}$, $SO_{5}$, $SO_{6}$). The Sombor index was defined as $SO(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in…

For a graph G and integer r \geq 1 we denote the family of independent r-sets of V(G) by I^{(r)}(G). A graph G is said to be r-EKR if no intersecting subfamily of I^{(r)}(G) is larger than the largest such family all of whose members…

Dvo\v{r}\'ak \emph{et al.} introduced a variant of the Randi\'c index of a graph $G$, denoted by $R'(G)$, where $R'(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\frac 1 {\max\{d(u), d(v)\}}$, and $d(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u$ in $G$. The coloring number…

Call a simple graph $H$ of order $n$ well-separable, if by deleting a separator set of size $o(n)$ the leftover will have components of size at most $o(n)$. We prove, that bounded degree well-separable spanning subgraphs are easy to embed:…

A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A well-covered graph $G$ is called uniformly well-covered if there is a partition of the set of vertices of $G$ such that each maximal…

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of edges of $G$ such that every color class forms an induced matching. The strong chromatic index is the minimum number of colors needed to color the graph. The Ore-degree $\theta(G)$ of a…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A $k$-matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,\ldots, k\}$ satisfying $\sum_{e \in E_G(v)} f(e) \leq k$ for every vertex $v \in V(G)$,…

A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a dominating set if every vertex $v\in V$ is either an element of $S$ or is adjacent to an element of $S$. A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G(V,E)$ is called a total dominating set if…

Let $ G $ be a simple graph with the vertex cover number $ \tau $. The energy $ \mathcal{E}(G) $ of $ G $ is the sum of the absolute values of all the adjacency eigenvalues of $ G $. In this article, we establish $ \mathcal{E}(G)\geq 2\tau…

A set $D$ of vertices of a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is a strong dominating set, if for every vertex $x\in \overline{D}=V\setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x)\leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number…

A graph $G$ is $H$-free if any subset of $V(G)$ does not induce a subgraph of $G$ that is isomorphic to $H$. Given a graph $H$, we present sufficient and necessary conditions for a graph $G$ such that $G/e$ is $H$-free for any edge $e$ in…

The aim of this work is to obtain new inequalities for the variable symmetric division deg index $SDD_\alpha(G) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)} (d_u^\alpha/d_v^\alpha+d_v^\alpha/d_u^\alpha)$, and to characterize graphs extremal with respect to them.…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ consists of a graph $G$ and the signature $\sigma : E(G) \rightarrow \{+1,-1\}$. An incidence of $G$ is a pair $(v,e)$, where $v$ is one of the end vertices of an edge $e \in E(G)$. A proper $q$-edge coloring…

The conflict-free chromatic index of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours in an edge colouring of $G$ such that the neighbourhood of every edge contains a colour appearing exactly once. Its vertex analogue is the conflict-free…

In this paper we introduce a graph structure, called subspace sum graph $\mathcal{G}(\mathbb{V})$ on a finite dimensional vector space $\mathbb{V}$ where the vertex set is the collection of non-trivial proper subspaces of a vector space and…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two vertex disjoint graphs. The {\em union} $G\cup H$ is the graph with $V(G\cup H)=V(G)\cup (H)$ and $E(G\cup H)=E(G)\cup E(H)$. The {\em join} $G+H$ is the graph with $V(G+H)=V(G)+V(H)$ and $E(G+H)=E(G)\cup…

For a positive integer $k$, a $k$-colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,...,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$ and $k$, whether a $k$-colouring…
