Let $G$ be a connected graph. The notion \emph{the rainbow connection number $rc(G)$} of a graph $G$ was introduced recently by Chartrand et al. Basavaraju et al. showed that for every bridgeless graph $G$ with radius $r$, $rc(G)\leq…

We study the following two functions: d(n,c) and $\vec{d}(n,c)$; d(n,c) ($\vec{d}(n,c)$) is the minimum number k such that every c-edge-colored undirected (directed) graph of order n and minimum monochromatic degree (out-degree) at least k…

We introduce a notion of a girth-regular graph as a $k$-regular graph for which there exists a non-descending sequence $(a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k)$ (called the signature) giving, for every vertex $u$ of the graph, the number of girth cycles the…

An $(r-1,1)$-coloring of an $r$-regular graph $G$ is an edge coloring such that each vertex is incident to $r-1$ edges of one color and $1$ edge of a different color. In this paper, we completely characterize all $4$-regular pseudographs…

A signed graph $\Sigma = (G, \sigma)$ is a graph where the function $\sigma$ assigns either $1$ or $-1$ to each edge of the simple graph $G$. The adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$, denoted by $A(\Sigma)$, is defined canonically. In a recent…

The rainbow connection number, rc(G), of a connected graph G is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its edges, so that every pair of its vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. In…

We prove that a signed graph admits a nowhere-zero $8$-flow provided that it is flow-admissible and the underlying graph admits a nowhere-zero $4$-flow. When combined with the 4-color theorem, this implies that every flow-admissible…

For a directed graph $G$ without loops or parallel edges, let $\beta(G)$ denote the size of the smallest feedback arc set, i.e., the smallest subset $X \subset E(G)$ such that $G \sm X$ has no directed cycles. Let $\gamma(G)$ be the number…

This paper concerns $(r,c)$-constant graphs, which are $r$-regular graphs in which the subgraph induced by the open neighbourhood of every vertex has precisely $c$ edges. The family of $(r,c)$-graphs contains vertex-transitive graphs (and…

Among other things, it is shown that for every pair of positive integers $r$, $d$, satisfying $1<r<d\leq 2r$, and every finite simple graph $H,$ there is a connected graph $G$ with diameter $d$, radius $r$, and center $H.$

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ with a signature $\sigma$ labeling each edge with a positive or negative sign. Two signatures of $G$ are switching equivalent if one is obtained from the other by changing the signs of all edges in…

A shortest circuit cover ${\cal F}$ of a bridgeless graph $G$ is a family of circuits that covers every edge of $G$ and is of minimum total length. The total length of a shortest circuit cover ${\cal F}$ of $G$ is denoted by $SCC(G)$. For…

We give results concerning two problems on the recently introduced \textit{flip colourings of graphs}. For positive integers $b, r$ with $b < r$, we say that a $b + r$ regular graph is a $(b,r)$-\textit{flip graph} if there exists a…

For a graph $G$, we define $\sigma_2(G)=min \{d(u)+d(v)| u,v\in V(G), uv\not\in E(G)\}$, or simply denoted by $\sigma_2$. A edge-colored graph is rainbow edge-connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct…

Suppose that $\Gamma=(G, \sigma)$ is a connected signed graph with at least one cycle. The number of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$ are called positive inertia index, negative inertia index and…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ together with an assignment $\sigma$ of either a positive sign or a negative sign to each edge. A signed graph is unbalanced if it contains a cycle with odd number of negative edges. The spectral…

A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$,…

I propose that most problems about circles (cycles, circuits) in ordinary graphs that have odd or even length find their proper setting in the theory of signed graphs, where each edge has a sign, $+$ or $-$. Even-circle and odd-circle…

Let $\Gamma$ be a multigraph with for each vertex a cyclic order of the edges incident with it. For $n \geq 3$, let $D_{2n}$ be the dihedral group of order $2n$. Define $\mathbb{D} := \{(\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & a \\ 0 & 1 \end{smallmatrix})…

A signed graph is an ordered pair $\Sigma=(G,\sigma),$ where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph of $\Sigma$ with a signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow \{1,-1\}$. In this article, we define $n^{th}$ power of a signed graph and discuss…
