On the saturation number of graphs
Authors
Abstract:
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 number of the corona product of two specific graphs. We also consider some graphs with certain constructions that are of importance in chemistry and study their saturation number.

On the fixed number of graphs
A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is called a fixing set of $G$, if only the trivial automorphism of $G$ fixes every vertex in $S$. The fixing number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of a fixing set. The fixed number of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$, such that every $k$-set of vertices of $G$ is a fixing set of $G$. A graph $G$ is called a $k$-fixed graph, if its fix...

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...
full textOn Open Packing Number of Graphs
In a graph G = (V,E), a subset $S⊂V$ is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of S have a common neighbour in G. The maximum cardinality of an open packing set is called the open packing number and is denoted by $ρ^{o}$. This paper further studies on this parameter by obtaining some new bounds.
full textGraphs with Induced-Saturation Number Zero
Given graphs G and H, G is H-saturated if H is not a subgraph of G, but for all e / ∈ E(G), H appears as a subgraph of G + e. While for every n > |V (H)|, there exists an n-vertex graph that is H-saturated, the same does not hold for induced subgraphs. That is, there exist graphs H and values of n > |V (H)|, for which every n-vertex graph G either contains H as an induced subgraph, or there exi...
full textOn the zero forcing number of some Cayley graphs
Let Γa be a graph whose each vertex is colored either white or black. If u is a black vertex of Γ such that exactly one neighbor v of u is white, then u changes the color of v to black. A zero forcing set for a Γ graph is a subset of vertices Zsubseteq V(Γ) such that if initially the vertices in Z are colored black and the remaining vertices are colored white, then Z changes the col...
full textThe locating chromatic number of the join of graphs
Let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $G$ and $Pi=(V_1,V_2,ldots,V_k)$ be an ordered partition of $V(G)$ into the resulting color classes. For a vertex $v$ of $G$, the color code of $v$ with respect to $Pi$ is defined to be the ordered $k$-tuple $c_{{}_Pi}(v)=(d(v,V_1),d(v,V_2),ldots,d(v,V_k))$, where $d(v,V_i)=min{d(v,x):~xin V_i}, 1leq ileq k$. If distinct...
