In this paper, we study the Cartesian product of signed graphs as defined by Germina, Hameed and Zaslavsky (2011). Here we focus on its algebraic properties and look at the chromatic number of some Cartesian products. One of our main…

A graph property is said to be elusive ( evasive) if every algorithm testing this property by asking questions of the form "is there an edge between vertices x and y" requires, in the worst case, to ask about all pairs of vertices. The…

Given a non empty set $S$ of vertices of a graph, the partiality of a vertex with respect to $S$ is the difference between maximum and minimum of the distances of the vertex to the vertices of $S$. The vertices with minimum partiality…

We characterize the graphs with loops whose degree sequences have no repeated values and find their adjacency spectrum. In the case of simple graphs, such graphs are called anti-regular graphs and are examples of threshold graphs. The…

Which graphs admit an integer value harmonic function which is injective and surjective onto $\Z$? Such a function, which we call harmonic labeling, is constructed when the graph is the $\Z^2$ square grid. It is shown that for any finite…

Given a finite, simple, vertex-weighted graph, we construct a graded associative (non-commutative) algebra, whose generators correspond to vertices and whose ideal of relations has generators that are graded commutators corresponding to…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and $f$ be a 0-1 labeling of $E(G)$ so that the absolute difference in the number of edges labeled 1 and 0 is no more than one. Call such a labeling $f$ \emph{edge-friendly}.…

A sum graph is a finite simple graph whose vertex set is labeled with distinct positive integers such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the sum of their labels is itself another label. The spum of a graph $G$ is the minimum…

A sharp asymptotic formula for the number of strongly connected digraphs on $n$ labelled vertices with $m$ arcs, under a condition $m-n\to\infty$, $m=O(n)$, is obtained; this solves a problem posed by Wright back in $1977$. Our formula is a…

A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…

Several variants of hypergraph products have been introduced as generalizations of the strong and direct products of graphs. Here we show that only some of them are associative. In addition to the Cartesian product, these are the minimal…

We extend the definition of the Cartesian product to graphs with loops and show that the Sabidussi-Vizing unique factorization theorem for connected finite simple graphs still holds in this context for all connected finite graphs with at…

In this paper, we prove that for all $m\geq 1$ and $n=1$, the graph $ m\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_9)+n\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_4)$, for all $n\geq 1$, and $m=1$, the graph $m\overline{\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_6)}+n\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_9)$, for all $m\geq1$,…

A connected undirected graph is called \emph{geodetic} if for every pair of vertices there is a unique shortest path connecting them. It has been conjectured that for finite groups, the only geodetic Cayley graphs are odd cycles and…

The $k$-th symmetric product of a graph $G$ with vertex set $V$ with edge set $E$ is a graph with vertices as $k$-sets of $V$, where two $k$-sets are connected by an edge if and only if their symmetric difference is an edge in $E$. Using…

For an arbitrary set of distances $D\subseteq \{0,1, \ldots, diam(G)\}$, a $D$-weight of a vertex $x$ in a graph $G$ under a vertex labeling $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots , v\}$ is defined as $w_D(x)=\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y)$, where $N_D(x)…

A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A, B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. It is easy…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E such that |V| = p and |E| = q. For integers k\geq 0, define an edge labeling f : E \rightarrow \{k,k+1,....,k+q-1\} and define the vertex sum for a vertex $v$ as the sum of the labels of…

Let $G$ be a finite simple undirected $(p,q)$-graph, with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$ such that $p=|V(G)|$ and $q=|E(G)|$. A super edge-magic total labeling $f$ of $G$ is a bijection $f\colon V(G)\cup E(G)\longrightarrow…

An undirected graph is said to be cordial if there is a friendly (0,1)-labeling of the vertices that induces a friendly (0,1)-labeling of the edges. An undirected graph $G$ is said to be $(2,3)$-orientable if there exists a friendly…
