In this paper, we introduce a new concept namely degree polynomial for vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept namely degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{ij}(G)$, $i,j\ge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that $\{d_v(G), d_u(G)\} = \{i,j\}$. The {\em $M$-polynomial} of $G$ is introduced with $\displaystyle{M(G;x,y) = \sum_{i\le j} m_{ij}(G)x^iy^j}$.…

The $M$-polynomial of a graph $G$ is defined as $\sum_{i\le j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$, where $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,j\ge 1$, is the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that $\{d_v(G), d_u(G)\} = \{i,j\}$. Knowing the $M$-polynomial, formulas for bond…

The M-polynomial, introduced by Deutsch and Klav\v{z}ar in 2015, provides a unifying algebraic framework for the computation of numerous degree-based topological indices such as the Zagreb, Randic, harmonic, and forgotten indices. Despite…

We introduce and study, for a process P delivering edges on the Cartesian product of the vertex sets of a given set of graphs, the P-product of these graphs, thereby generalizing many types of product graph. Analogous to the notion of a…

The $M$-polynomial was introduced by Deutsch and Klav\v{z}ar in 2015 as a graph polynomial to provide an easy way to find closed formulas of degree-based topological indices, which are used to predict physical, chemical, and pharmacological…

The numerical values extracted from a graph that indicates its topology are called topological indices. A contemporary and efficient method is to compute a graph's topological indices using the graph polynomial that corresponds to it. This…

Some years ago, the harmonic polynomial was introduced in order to understand better the harmonic topological index; for instance, it allows to obtain bounds of the harmonic index of the main products of graphs. Here, we obtain several…

We study the question of polytopality of graphs: when is a given graph the graph of a polytope? We first review the known necessary conditions for a graph to be polytopal, and we provide several families of graphs which satisfy all these…

We consider the algebra M_k(C) of k-by-k matrices over the complex numbers and view it as a crossed product with a group G of order k by embedding G in the symmetric group S_k via the regular representation and embedding S_k in M_k(C) in…

We provide a general framework on the coefficients of the graph polynomials of graphs which are Cartesian products. As a corollary, we prove that if $G=(V,E)$ is a graph with degrees of vertices $2d(v), v\in V$, and the graph polynomial…

It was recently proved that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph with bounded treewidth. This paper surveys generalisations of this result for graphs on surfaces, minor-closed classes, various…

We review known results concerning powers and products of $(m,p)$-isometries with a view to providing elementary proofs based on properties of polynomials. We consider also the situation when $p=\infty$ where we find elements of graph…

Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…

In this paper, we focus on learning product graphs from multi-domain data. We assume that the product graph is formed by the Cartesian product of two smaller graphs, which we refer to as graph factors. We pose the product graph learning…

Let $\mathcal{G}^M$ denote the set of connected graphs with distinct $M$-eigenvalues. This paper explores the $M$-spectrum and eigenvectors of a new product $G\circ_C H$ of graphs $G$ and $H$. We present the necessary and sufficient…

There is presented an algorithm for computing the topological degree for a large class of polynomial mappings. As an application there is given an effective algebraic formula for the intersection number of a polynomial immersion M --> R^2m,…

Dujmovi\'{c}, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt, and Wood [J. ACM 2020] established that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a graph with bounded treewidth and a path. Motivated by this result, this paper systematically…

Mutual visibility in graphs provides a framework for analysing how vertices can observe one another along shortest paths free of internal obstructions. The visibility polynomial, which enumerates mutual-visibility sets of all orders, has…

This paper is concerned with the linkedness of Cartesian products of complete graphs. A graph with at least $2k$ vertices is {\it $k$-linked} if, for every set of $2k$ distinct vertices organised in arbitrary $k$ pairs of vertices, there…
