چکیده

A cut-vertex in a graph G is a vertex whose removal increases the number of connected components of G. An end-block of G is a block with a single cut-vertex. In this paper we establish upper bounds on the numbers of end-blocks and cut-vertices in a 4-regular graph G and claw-free 4-regular graphs. We characterize the extremal graphs achieving these bounds.

D-Spectrum and D-Energy of Complements of Iterated Line Graphs of Regular Graphs

The D-eigenvalues {µ1,…,µp} of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D and form its D-spectrum. The D-energy, ED(G) of G is given by ED (G) =∑i=1p |µi|. Two non cospectral graphs with respect to D are said to be D-equi energetic if they have the same D-energy. In this paper we show that if G is an r-regular graph on p vertices with 2r ≤ p - 1, then the complements of iterated lin...

On the variable sum exdeg index and cut edges of graphs

The variable sum exdeg index of a graph G is defined as $SEI_a(G)=sum_{uin V(G)}d_G(u)a^{d_G(u)}$, where $aneq 1$ is a positive real number,  du(u) is the degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper, we characterize the graphs with the extremum variable sum exdeg index among all the graphs having a fixed number of vertices and cut edges, for every a>1.

On the Regular Power Graph on the Conjugacy Classes of Finite Groups

emph{The (undirected) power graph on the conjugacy classes} $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ of a group $G$ is a simple graph in which the vertices are the conjugacy classes of $G$ and two distinct vertices $C$ and $C'$ are adjacent in $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ if one is a subset of a power of the other. In this paper, we describe groups whose associated graphs are $k$-regular for $k=5,6$.

Calculating Different Topological Indices of Von Neumann Regular Graph of Z_(p^α )

By the Von Neumann regular graph of R, we mean the graph that its vertices are all elements of R such that there is an edge between vertices x,y if and only if x+y is a von Neumann regular element of R, denoted by G_Vnr (R). For a commutative ring R with unity, x in R is called Von Neumann regular if there exists x in R such that a=a2 x. We denote the set of Von Neumann regular elements by V nr...

A survey of the studies on Gallai and anti-Gallai graphs

The Gallai graph and the anti-Gallai graph of a graph G are edge disjoint spanning subgraphs of the line graph L(G). The vertices in the Gallai graph are adjacent if two of the end vertices of the corresponding edges in G coincide and the other two end vertices are nonadjacent in G. The anti-Gallai graph of G is the complement of its Gallai graph in L(G). Attributed to Gallai (1967), the study ...
