Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph, and for each $e \in E(G)$, let $L_e$ be a list of real numbers. Let $w:E(G) \to \cup_{e \in E(G)}L_e$ be an edge weighting function such that $w(e) \in L_e$ for each $e \in E(G)$, and let $c_w$ be the vertex…

A locating-dominating set in an undirected graph is a subset of vertices $S$ such that $S$ is dominating and for every $u,v \notin S$, we have $N(u)\cap S\ne N(v)\cap S$. In this paper, we consider the oriented version of the problem. A…

Many applications in graph theory are motivated by routing or flow problems. Among these problems is Steiner Orientation: given a mixed graph G (having directed and undirected edges) and a set T of k terminal pairs in G, is there an…

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that any two edges of distance at most two receive distinct colors. The minimum number of colors we need in order to give $G$ a strong edge-coloring is called the strong…

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph, and $G^\sigma$ be an oriented graph of $G$ with the orientation $\sigma$ and skew-adjacency matrix $S(G^\sigma)$. The skew energy of the oriented graph $G^\sigma$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}_S(G^\sigma)$,…

Let G be a bipartite graph with positive integer weights on the edges and without isolated nodes. Let n, N and W be the node count, the largest edge weight and the total weight of G. Let k(x,y) be log(x)/log(x^2/y). We present a new…

It is known that every multigraph with an even number of edges has an even orientation (i.e., all indegrees are even). We study parity constrained graph orientations under additional constraints. We consider two types of constraints for a…

A multipacking in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $M\subseteq V$ such that for every vertex $v\in V$ and for every integer $r\geq 1$, the ball of radius $r$ around $v$ contains at most $r$ vertices of $M$, that is, there are at most…

Given a proper edge coloring $\varphi$ of a graph $G$, we define the palette $S_{G}(v,\varphi)$ of a vertex $v \in V(G)$ as the set of all colors appearing on edges incident with $v$. The palette index $\check s(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum…

Given a graph $G$, a proper $k$-coloring of $G$ is a partition $c = (S_i)_{i\in [1,k]}$ of $V(G)$ into $k$ stable sets $S_1,\ldots, S_{k}$. Given a weight function $w: V(G) \to \mathbb{R}^+$, the weight of a color $S_i$ is defined as $w(i)…

We consider the {\em stochastic matching} problem. An edge-weighted general (i.e., not necessarily bipartite) graph $G(V, E)$ is given in the input, where each edge in $E$ is {\em realized} independently with probability $p$; the…

We prove three results conjectured or stated by Chartrand, Fink and Zhang [European J. Combin {\bf 21} (2000) 181--189, Disc. Appl. Math. {\bf 116} (2002) 115--126, and pre-print of ``The hull number of an oriented graph'']. For a digraph…

Let G be a finite undirected graph. A vertex dominates itself and all its neighbors in G. A vertex set D is an efficient dominating set (e.d. for short) of G if every vertex of G is dominated by exactly one vertex of D. The Efficient…

A simple undirected graph is said to be {\em semisymmetric} if it is regular and edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. Every semisymmetric graph is a bipartite graph with two parts of equal size. It was proved in [{\em J. Combin.…

An $(r, \ell)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a partition of its vertex set into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. A graph is $(r, \ell)$ if it admits an $(r, \ell)$-partition. A graph is well-covered if every maximal independent set is…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and let $d(u,w)$ denote the length of a $u-w$ geodesic in $G$. For any $v\in V(G)$ and $e=xy\in E(G)$, let $d(e,v)=\min\{d(x,v),d(y,v)\}$. For distinct $e_1, e_2\in E(G)$, let…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a proper path if no two adjacent edges of the path are colored the same. For a connected graph $G$, the proper connection number $pc(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of colors needed to…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if the following holds: For any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers,…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with order $n$ and adjacency matrix $\mathbf{A}(G)$. Let $\phi(G; \lambda)=\det(\lambda I-\mathbf{A}(G))=\sum_{i=0}^n\mathbf{a}_i(G)\lambda^{n-i}$ be the characteristic polynomial of $G$, where $\mathbf{a}_i(G)$ is…

For any graph inverse semigroup $G(E)$ we describe subsemigroups $D^0=D\cup\{0\}$ and $J^0=J\cup\{0\}$ of $G(E)$ where $D$ and $J$ are arbitrary $\mathcal{D}$-class and $\mathcal{J}$-class of $G(E)$, respectively. In particular, we prove…
