چکیده

For any vertex v and any edge e in a non-trivial connected graph G, the distance sum d(v) of v is d(v) = ∑ u∈V d(v, u), the vertex-to-edge distance sum d1(v) of v is d1(v) = ∑ e∈E d(v, e), the edge-to-vertex distance sum d2(e) of e is d2(e) = ∑ v∈V d(e, v) and the edge-to-edge distance sum d3(e) of e is d3(e) = ∑ f∈E d(e, f). The set M(G) of all vertices v for which d(v) is minimum is the median of G; the set M1(G) of all vertices v for which d1(v) is minimum is the vertex-to-edge median of G; the set M2(G) of all edges e for which d2(e) is minimum is the edge-to-vertex median of G; and the set M3(G) of all edges e for which d3(e) is minimum is the edge-to-edge median of G. We determine these medians for some classes of graphs. We prove that the edge-to-edge median of a graph is the same as the median of its line graph. It is shown that the center and the median; the vertexto-edge center and the vertex-to-edge median; the edge-to-vertex center and the edge-to-vertex median; and the edge-to-edge center and the edge-to-edge median of a graph are not only different but can be arbitrarily far apart.

Second and Third Extremals of Catacondensed Hexagonal Systems with Respect to the PI Index

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index is a Wiener-Szeged-like topological index which reflects certain structural features of organic molecules. The PI index of a graph G is the sum of all edges uv of G of the number of edges which are not equidistant from the vertices u and v. In this paper we obtain the second and third extremals of catacondensed hexagonal systems with respect to the PI index.

Total domination in $K_r$-covered graphs

The inflation $G_{I}$ of a graph $G$ with $n(G)$ vertices and $m(G)$ edges is obtained from $G$ by replacing every vertex of degree $d$ of $G$ by a clique, which is isomorph to the complete graph $K_{d}$, and each edge $(x_{i},x_{j})$ of $G$ is replaced by an edge $(u,v)$ in such a way that $uin X_{i}$, $vin X_{j}$, and two different edges of $G$ are replaced by non-adjacent edges of $G_{I}$.

Line completion number of grid graph Pn × Pm

The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...

Global Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations

Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2‎, ‎\ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$‎. ‎The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the‎ ‎vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$‎, ‎where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$‎ ‎otherwise‎, ‎for each $i\in\{1,\ldots‎ , ‎k\}$‎. ‎We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$‎ ‎if $...

Chromaticity of Turan Graphs with At Most Three Edges Deleted

Let $P(G,lambda)$ be the chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ ischromatically unique if for any graph $H$, $P(H, lambda) = P(G,lambda)$ implies $H$ is isomorphic to $G$. In this paper, we determine the chromaticity of all Tur'{a}n graphs with at most three edges deleted. As a by product, we found many families of chromatically unique graphs and chromatic equivalence classes of graph...
