For a graph $G$, let $P(G,lambda)$ denote the chromatic polynomial of $G$. Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are chromatically equivalent if they share the same chromatic polynomial. A graph $G$ is chromatically unique if any graph chromatically equivalent to $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. A $K_4$-homeomorph is a subdivision of the complete graph $K_4$. In this paper, we determine a family of chromatically uni...

‎The Narumi-Katayama index was the first topological index defined‎ ‎by the product of some graph theoretical quantities‎. ‎Let $G$ be a ‎simple graph with vertex set $V = {v_1,ldots‎, ‎v_n }$ and $d(v)$ be‎ ‎the degree of vertex $v$ in the graph $G$‎. ‎The Narumi-Katayama ‎index is defined as $NK(G) = prod_{vin V}d(v)$‎. ‎In this paper,‎ ‎the Narumi-Katayama index is generalized using a $n$-ve...

The Wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. In addition to that a generating function, which was called the Wiener polynomial, who’s derivate is a q-analog of the Wiener index was defined. In an article, Sagan, Yeh and Zhang in [The Wiener Polynomial of a graph, Int. J. Quantun Chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attained what graph operations do to the Wiene...

given a graph $g$, the total dominator coloring problem seeks aproper coloring of $g$ with the additional property that everyvertex in the graph is adjacent to all vertices of a color class. weseek to minimize the number of color classes. we initiate to studythis problem on several classes of graphs, as well as findinggeneral bounds and characterizations. we also compare the totaldominator chro...

we find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph g by splitting g into subgraphs h and q. we use these formulas to count perfect matching of p hypercube qn. we also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in g, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...

The original aim of this paper is to construct a graph associated to a vector space. By inspiration of the classical definition for the Cayley graph related to a group we define Cayley graph of a vector space. The vector space Cayley graph ${rm Cay(mathcal{V},S)}$ is a graph with the vertex set the whole vectors of the vector space $mathcal{V}$ and two vectors $v_1,v_2$ join by an edge whenever...

Throughout this paper, R will denote a commutative ring with identity and M is a unitary R- module and Z will denote the ring of integers. We introduce the graph Ω(M) of module M with the set of vertices contain all nontrivial non-essential submodules of M. We investigate the interplay between graph-theoretic properties of Ω(M) and algebraic properties of M. Also, we assign the values of natura...

let g = (v, e) be a simple graph. hosoya polynomial of g isd(u,v)h(g, x) = {u,v}v(g)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices uand v. as is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence anddomination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of hosoya polynomial of a graph. inthis paper we study the roots of hosoya polynomials of some specific graphs.
