In a graph $G$, a set $D\subseteq V(G)$ is called 2-dominating set if each vertex not in $D$ has at least two neighbors in $D$. The 2-domination number $\gamma_2(G)$ is the minimum cardinality of such a set $D$. We give a method for the…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with the usual shortest-path metric $d$. The graph $G$ is $\delta$-hyperbolic provided for any vertices $x,y,u,v$ in it, the two larger of the three sums $d(u,v)+d(x,y),d(u,x)+d(v,y)$ and $d(u,y)+d(v,x)$ differ…

A set of vertices in a graph is a dominating set if every vertex outside the set has a neighbor in the set. A dominating set is connected if the subgraph induced by its vertices is connected. The connected domatic partition problem asks for…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without an isolated edge can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general. We prove that every…

For a graph $G$, we denote by $\sigma_{2}(G)$ the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices if $G$ is non-complete; otherwise, $\sigma_{2}(G) = +\infty$. In this paper, we prove the following two results: (i) If $s_{1}, s_{2} \ge 2$…

A graph $G$ is called universal for a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if it contains every element $F \in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}(n,2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree $2$. Ferber, Kronenberg, and Luh…

Let G be a finite graph with the non-k-order property (essentially, a uniform finite bound on the size of an induced sub-half-graph). A major result of the paper applies model-theoretic arguments to obtain a stronger version of…

In this paper, an effort is made to classify which prime character degree graphs having eight vertices occur for some finite solvable group. To approach this, we compile known results and constructions from the literature which are used to…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ is said to be $K_{k}$-isolating if $G - N_{G}[S]$ does not contain $K_{k}$ as a subgraph. The $K_{k}$-isolation number of $G$, denoted by $\iota_{k}(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a…

Let $\delta$ and $\Delta$ be the minimum and the maximum degree of the vertices of a simple connected graph $G$, respectively. The distinguishing index of a graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of…

An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D \subseteq V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G) \setminus D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A set $L\subseteq V(G)$ is a locating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V(G) \setminus L$ has…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding {\it bisections} (i.e., balanced bipartitions) in graphs. We prove the following two results for {\it all} graphs $G$: (1). $G$ has a bisection where each vertex $v$ has at least $(1/4 -…

A locating-dominating set of a graph $G$ is a dominating set $D$ of $G$ with the additional property that every two distinct vertices outside $D$ have distinct neighbors in $D$; that is, for distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ outside $D$, $N(u)…

Let ${\rm ind}(G)$ be the number of independent sets in a graph $G$. We show that if $G$ has maximum degree at most $5$ then $$ {\rm ind}(G) \leq 2^{{\rm iso}(G)} \prod_{uv \in E(G)} {\rm ind}(K_{d(u),d(v)})^{\frac{1}{d(u)d(v)}} $$ (where…

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S . The domination number of G, denoted by $\gamma$(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. In a breakthrough…

Given a set $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, we call a copy of a graph in $\mathcal{F}$ an $\mathcal{F}$-graph. The $\mathcal{F}$-isolation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,\mathcal{F})$, is the size of a smallest set $D$ of vertices of…

A graph $G$ is a link-irregular graph if every two distinct vertices of $G$ have non-isomorphic links. The link of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the subgraph induced by the neighbors of $v$ in $G$. Ali, Chartrand and Zhang [Discussiones…

A graph $G$ is said to be $2$-divisible if for all (nonempty) induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A,B$ such that $\omega(A) < \omega(H)$ and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly…

A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G$ is a double dominating set of $G$ if $|N[v]\cap S|\geq 2$ for each vertex $v$ of $G$, where $N[v]$ is the set of the vertex $v$ and vertices adjacent to $v$. The double domination number of $G$, denoted by…
