A graph G is balanced if the maximum ratio of edges to vertices, taken over all subgraphs of G, occurs at G itself. This note uses the maxow/min-cut theorem to prove a good characterization of balanced graphs. This characterization is then applied to some results on how balanced graphs may be combined to form a larger balanced graph. In particular, we show that edge-transitive graphs and comple...

A graph is balanced if its clique-vertex incidence matrix is balanced, i.e., it does not contain a square submatrix of odd order with exactly two ones per row and per column. Interval graphs, obtained as intersection graphs of intervals of a line, are well-known examples of balanced graphs. A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. Circular-arc graphs gener...

in this paper, we first collect the earlier results about some graph operations and then wepresent applications of these results in working with chemical graphs.

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

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 wiener index $w(g)$ of a connected graph $g$‎ ‎is defined as $w(g)=sum_{u,vin v(g)}d_g(u,v)$‎ ‎where $d_g(u,v)$ is the distance between the vertices $u$ and $v$ of‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎for $ssubseteq v(g)$‎, ‎the {it steiner distance/} $d(s)$ of‎ ‎the vertices of $s$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of‎ ‎$g$ whose vertex set is $s$‎. ‎the {it $k$-th steiner wiener index/}‎ ‎$sw_k(g)$ of $g$ ...
