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,…

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of the unit-graph of the ring of $3 \times 3$ matrices over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, which is equivalently the Cayley digraph $ \mathrm{Cay}\!\left((\mathrm{Mat}_3(\mathbb{F}_q),+),…

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 $\mathcal{G}_{n,t}$…
