let $g=(v,e)$ be a‎ ‎simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$‎. ‎an $r$-matching of $g$ is ‎a set of $r$ edges of $g$ which no two of them have common vertex‎. ‎the hosoya index $z(g)$ of a graph $g$ is defined as the total‎ ‎number of its matchings‎. ‎an independent set of $g$ is a set of‎ ‎vertices where no two vertices are adjacent‎. ‎the ‎merrifield-simmons index of $g$ is defined as the tota...

the wiener polarity index wp(g) of a molecular graph g of order n is the number ofunordered pairs of vertices u, v of g such that the distance d(u,v) between u and v is 3. in anearlier paper, some extremal properties of this graph invariant in the class of catacondensedhexagonal systems and fullerene graphs were investigated. in this paper, some new bounds forthis graph invariant are presented....

Todeschini et al. have recently suggested to consider multiplicative variants of additive graph invariants, which applied to the Zagreb indices would lead to the multiplicative Zagreb indices of a graph G, denoted by ( ) 1  G and ( ) 2  G , under the name first and second multiplicative Zagreb index, respectively. These are define as     ( ) 2 1 ( ) ( ) v V G G G d v and ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 2...

Let S ∪ {f} be a set of symmetric polynomials in noncommuting variables. If f satisfies a polynomial identity P i h ∗ i fhi = 1 + P i g ∗ i sigi for some si ∈ S ∪ {1}, then f is obviously nowhere negative semidefinite on the class of tuples of non-zero operators defined by the system of inequalities s ≥ 0 (s ∈ S). We prove the converse under the additional assumption that the quadratic module g...

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. For any integer $kge 1$, a signed (total) $k$-dominating functionis a function $f: V(G) rightarrow { -1, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ ($sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge k$)for every $vin V(G)$, where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)cup{v}$. The minimum of the values$sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functi...

For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...

The energy of a graph G is equal to the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G, whereas the Laplacian energy of a graph G is equal to the sum of the absolute value of the difference between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of G and the average degree of the vertices of G. Motivated by the work from Sharafdini an...

‎The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$‎ ‎such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial‎ ‎automorphism‎. ‎For any $n in mathbb{N}$‎, ‎the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $pi(G)$ be the set of all prime divisors of $|G|$. The prime graph of $G$ is a simple graph $Gamma(G)$ with vertex set $pi(G)$ and two distinct vertices $p$ and $q$ in $pi(G)$ are adjacent by an edge if an only if $G$ has an element of order $pq$. In this case, we write $psim q$. Let $|G= p_1^{alpha_1}cdot p_2^{alpha_2}cdots p_k^{alpha_k}$, where $p_1

a graph $g$ is called a fractional‎ ‎$(k,n',m)$-critical deleted graph if any $n'$ vertices are removed‎ ‎from $g$ the resulting graph is a fractional $(k,m)$-deleted‎ ‎graph‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we prove that for integers $kge 2$‎, ‎$n',mge0$‎, ‎$nge8k+n'+4m-7$‎, ‎and $delta(g)ge k+n'+m$‎, ‎if‎ ‎$$|n_{g}(x)cup n_{g}(y)|gefrac{n+n'}{2}$$‎ ‎for each pair of non-adjac...
