چکیده

The basis number b(G) of a graphG is defined to be the least integer k such thatG has a kfold basis for its cycle space. In this note, we determine the basis number of the corona of graphs, in fact we prove that b(v ◦T)= 2 for any tree and any vertex v not inT , b(v ◦H)≤ b(H) + 2, where H is any graph and v is not a vertex of H , also we prove that if G= G1 ◦ G2 is the corona of two graphs G1 and G2, then b(G1) ≤ b(G) ≤max{b(G1),b(G2) + 2}, moreover we prove that if G is a Hamiltonian graph, then b(v ◦G) ≤ b(G) + 1, where v is any vertex not in G, and finally we give a sequence of remarks which gives the basis number of the corona of some of special graphs.

On the saturation number of graphs

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. A matching $M$ is maximal if it cannot be extended to a larger matching in $G$. The cardinality of any smallest maximal matching in $G$ is the saturation number of $G$ and is denoted by $s(G)$. In this paper we study the saturation numbe...

On the super domination number of graphs

The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...

Detour Monophonic Graphoidal Covering Number of Corona Product Graph of Some Standard Graphs with the Wheel

A chord of a path $P$ is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of $P$. A path  $P$ is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest $x-y$ monophonic path is called an $x-y$ detour monophonic path. A  detour monophonic graphoidal cover of a graph $G$ is a collection $psi_{dm}$ of detour monophonic paths in $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ is an internal vertex  of at most on...

On exponential domination and graph operations

An exponential dominating set of graph $G = (V,E )$ is a subset $Ssubseteq V(G)$ such that $sum_{uin S}(1/2)^{overline{d}{(u,v)-1}}geq 1$ for every vertex $v$ in $V(G)-S$, where $overline{d}(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u in S$ and $v  in V(G)-S$ in the graph $G -(S-{u})$. The exponential domination number, $gamma_{e}(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of an exponential dominating set....

ON THE EDGE COVER POLYNOMIAL OF CERTAIN GRAPHS

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.The edge covering of $G$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. The edge cover polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial$E(G,x)=sum_{i=rho(G)}^{m} e(G,i) x^{i}$,where $e(G,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $G$ of size $i$, and$rho(G)$ is the edge covering number of $G$. In this paper we stud...

Computing PI and Hyper–Wiener Indices of Corona Product of some Graphs

Let G and H be two graphs. The corona product G o H is obtained by taking one copy of G and |V(G)| copies of H; and by joining each vertex of the i-th copy of H to the i-th vertex of G, i = 1, 2, …, |V(G)|. In this paper, we compute PI and hyper–Wiener indices of the corona product of graphs.
