let $g$ be a connected graph with vertex set $v(g)$‎. ‎the‎ ‎degree resistance distance of $g$ is defined as $d_r(g) = sum_{{u‎,‎v} subseteq v(g)} [d(u)+d(v)] r(u,v)$‎, ‎where $d(u)$ is the degree‎ ‎of vertex $u$‎, ‎and $r(u,v)$ denotes the resistance distance between‎ ‎$u$ and $v$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we characterize $n$-vertex unicyclic‎ ‎graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resista...

let g be a simple connected graph and {v1, v2, …, vk} be the set of pendent (vertices ofdegree one) vertices of g. the reduced distance matrix of g is a square matrix whose (i,j)–entry is the topological distance between vi and vj of g. in this paper, we obtain the spectrumof the reduced distance matrix of thorn graph of g, a graph which obtained by attaching somenew vertices to pendent vertice...

let $g$ be a connected graph, and let $d[g]$ denote the double graph of $g$. in this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $d[g]$ in terms of that of $g$. finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topologica...

distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the followingproperty: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closerto v than to u. basic properties of these graphs are obtained. in this paper, we study theconditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.

A set of vertices $S$ in a connected graph $G$ is a different-distance set if, for any vertex $w$ outside $S$, no two vertices in $S$ have the same distance to $w$.The lower and upper different-distance number of a graph are the order of a smallest, respectively largest, maximal different-distance set.We prove that a different-distance set induces either a special type of path or an independent...

the emph{harary index} $h(g)$ of a connected graph $g$ is defined as $h(g)=sum_{u,vin v(g)}frac{1}{d_g(u,v)}$ where $d_g(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $g$. the steiner distance in a graph, introduced by chartrand et al. in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. for a connected graph $g$ of order at least $2$ and $ssubseteq v(g)$, th...

the reciprocal degree distance (rdd)‎, ‎defined for a connected graph $g$ as vertex-degree-weighted sum of the reciprocal distances‎, ‎that is‎, ‎$rdd(g) =sumlimits_{u,vin v(g)}frac{d_g(u)‎ + ‎d_g(v)}{d_g(u,v)}.$ the reciprocal degree distance is a weight version of the harary index‎, ‎just as the degree distance is a weight version of the wiener index‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we present exact formu...

In this paper we prove that any distance-balanced graph $G$ with $Delta(G)geq |V(G)|-3$ is regular. Also we define notion of distance-balanced closure of a graph and we find distance-balanced closures of trees $T$ with $Delta(T)geq |V(T)|-3$.
