‎let g=(v,e) be a simple connected graph with vertex set v and edge set e. the first, second and third zagreb indices of g are respectivly defined by: $m_1(g)=sum_{uin v} d(u)^2, hspace {.1 cm} m_2(g)=sum_{uvin e} d(u).d(v)$ and $ m_3(g)=sum_{uvin e}| d(u)-d(v)| $ , where d(u) is the degree of vertex u in g and uv is an edge of g connecting the vertices u and v. recently, the first and second m...

The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...

In this note we give an upper bound for λ(n), the maximum number of edges in a strongly multiplicative graph of order n, which is sharper than the upper bounds given by Beineke and Hegde [3] and Adiga, Ramaswamy and Somashekara [2], for n ≥ 28.

the first ($pi_1$) and the second $(pi_2$) multiplicative zagreb indices of a connected graph $g$, with vertex set $v(g)$ and edge set $e(g)$, are defined as $pi_1(g) = prod_{u in v(g)} {d_u}^2$ and $pi_2(g) = prod_{uv in e(g)} {d_u}d_{v}$, respectively, where ${d_u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$. in this paper we present a simple approach to order these indices for connected graphs on ...

Strongly multiplicative linear secret sharing schemes (LSSS) have been a powerful tool for constructing secure multi-party computation protocols. However, it remains open whether or not there exist efficient constructions of strongly multiplicative LSSS from general LSSS. In this paper, we propose the new concept of a 3-multiplicative LSSS, and establish its relationship with strongly multiplic...

In this paper, we study the problem of nonnegative graph embedding, originally investigated in [14] for reaping the benefits from both nonnegative data factorization and the specific purpose characterized by the intrinsic and penalty graphs [13]. Our contributions are two-fold. On the one hand, we present a multiplicative iterative procedure for nonnegative graph embedding, which significantly ...

In this paper we show that, for each chordal graph G, there is a tree T such that T is a spanning tree of the square G2 of G and, for every two vertices, the distance between them in T is not larger than the distance in G plus 2. Moreover, we prove that, if G is a strongly chordal graph or even a dually chordal graph, then there exists a spanning tree T of G that is an additive 3-spanner as wel...
