‎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...

let g be a graph. the first zagreb m1(g) of graph g is defined as: m1(g) = uv(g) deg(u)2. in this paper, we prove that each even number except 4 and 8 is a first zagreb index of a caterpillar. also, we show that the fist zagreb index cannot be an odd number. moreover, we obtain the fist zagreb index of some graph operations.

In this research paper, we present a novel frame work for handling $m$-polar information by combining the theory of $m-$polar fuzzy  sets with graphs. We introduce certain types of edge regular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs and edge irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. We describe some useful properties of edge regular, strongly edge irregular and strongly edge totally irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. W...

We consider multi-party computation (MPC) in a hierarchical setting, where participants have different capabilities depending on their position in the hierarchy. First, we give necessary conditions for multiplication of secrets in a hierarchical threshold linear secret sharing scheme (LSSS). Starting with known ideal constructions, we then propose a modified scheme with improved multiplication ...
