We introduce the concept of minimum edge cover for an induced subgraph in a graph. Let $G$ be a unicyclic graph with a unique odd cycle and $I=I(G)$ be its edge ideal. We compute the exact values of all symbolic defects of $I$ using the…

A graph of order $n$ is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices with integers from $1$ to $n$ such that each vertex has the same sum of the labels of its neighbors. In this paper we classify all distance magic…

For a signed cyclic graph G, we can construct a unique virtual link L by taking the medial construction and convert 4-valent vertices of the medial graph to crossings according to the signs. If a virtual link can occur in this way then we…

Suppose $G$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that every $(k-1)$-subset $S$ of $V(G)$ belongs to at least $\delta n$ edges, where $\delta> 1/2$. Let $\Psi(G)$ denote the number of tight Hamilton cycles in $G$, that is, cyclic…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The lexicographic product of…

Let $G$ be a simple graph. We demonstrate a method for using $t$-admissible subgraphs of $G$ to determine the regularity of the $t$-th symbolic power of the cover ideal of $G$. As an application, we compute the regularity of powers of cover…

A spanning subgraph of a graph G is called a [0,2]-factor of G, if for . is a union of some disjoint cycles, paths and isolate vertices, that span the graph G. It is easy to get a [0,2]-factor of G and there would be many of [0,2]-factors…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ be its extension graph. We inductively define a sequence $\{\Gamma_i\}$ of finite induced subgraphs of $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ through successive applications of an operation called…

An antimagic labeling of a graph $G$ is a $1-1$ correspondence between the edge set $E(G)$ and $\lbrace 1,2,...,|E(G)|\rbrace$ in which the sum of the labels of edges incident to the distinct vertices are different. The edge corona of any…

We prove that the edge ideals of line and cyclic graphs and their quotient rings satisfy the Stanley conjecture. We compute the Stanley depth for the quotient ring of the edge ideal associated to a cycle graph of length $n$, given a precise…

For a finite undirected multigraph G=(V,E) and functions f,g:V-->\NN, let N_f^g(G,j) denote the number of (f,g)-factors of G with exactly j edges. The Heilmann-Lieb Theorem implies that \sum_j N_0^1(G,j) t^j is a polynomial with only real…

For a set of distances $D$, a graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $D-$magic if there exists a bijection $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots, n\}$ and a constant $k$ such that for any vertex $x$, $\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y) =k$, where…

An antimagic labeling for a graph $G$ with $m$ edges is a bijection $f: E(G) \to \{1, 2, \dots, m\}$ so that $\phi_f(u) \neq \phi_f(v)$ holds for any pair of distinct vertices $u, v \in V(G)$, where $\phi_f(x) = \sum_{x \in e} f(e)$. A…

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n-cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. En route, we prove some sharp estimates on power…

For each positive integer $n$, the Fibonacci-sum graph $G_n$ on vertices $1,2,\ldots,n$ is defined by two vertices forming an edge if and only if they sum to a Fibonacci number. It is known that each $G_n$ is bipartite, and all Hamiltonian…

The cycle space of a graph $G$, denoted $C(G)$, is a vector space over ${\mathbb F}_2$, spanned by all incidence vectors of edge-sets of cycles of $G$. If $G$ has $n$ vertices, then $C_n(G)$ denotes the subspace of $C(G)$, spanned by the…

In this paper I survey the sources of inspiration for my own and co-authored work in trying to develop a general theory of graph polynomials. I concentrate on meta-theorems, i.e., theorem which depend only on the form infinite classes of…

The Hamiltonian cycle polynomial can be evaluated to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a graph. It can also be viewed as a list of all spanning cycles of length $n$. We adopt the latter perspective and present a pair of original…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$. For every integer $s\geq 1$, we denote the squarefree part of the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{\{s\}}$. We determine an upper bound for the regularity of $I(G)^{\{s\}}$ when…

The $r$-th iterated line graph $L^{r}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined by: (i) $L^{0}(G) = G$ and (ii) $L^{r}(G) = L(L^{(r- 1)}(G))$ for $r > 0$, where $L(G)$ denotes the line graph of $G$. The Hamiltonian Index $h(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest…
