The local chromatic number of a graph was introduced in [12]. It is in between the chromatic and fractional chromatic numbers. This motivates the study of the local chromatic number of graphs for which these quantities are far apart. Such graphs include Kneser graphs, their vertex color-critical subgraphs, the Schrijver (or stable Kneser) graphs; Mycielski graphs, and their generalizations; and...

Domination game is a played on finite, undirected graph G, between two players Dominator and Staller. During the game, alternately choose vertices of G such that each chosen vertex dominates at least one new not dominated by previously vertices. The aim to finish as early possible while Staller delay process much possible. domination number γg(G) total moves in when starts both play optimally. ...

Measures of the irregularity of chemical graphs could be helpful for QSAR/QSPR studies and for the descriptive purposes of biological and chemical properties, such as melting and boiling points, toxicity and resistance. Here we consider the following four established irregularity measures: the irregularity index by Albertson, the total irregularity, the variance of vertex degrees and the Collat...

In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph G into a new graph μ(G), we now call the Mycielskian of G, which has the same clique number as G and whose chromatic number equals χ(G)+1. Chang, Huang, and Zhu [G. J. Chang, L. Huang, & X. Zhu, Discrete Math, to appear] have investigated circular chr...

the rings considered in this article are  commutative  with identity which admit at least two  nonzero annihilating ideals. let $r$ be a ring. let $mathbb{a}(r)$ denote the set of all annihilating ideals of $r$ and let $mathbb{a}(r)^{*} = mathbb{a}(r)backslash {(0)}$. the annihilating-ideal graph of $r$, denoted by $mathbb{ag}(r)$  is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set is $mathbb{a}(r)...

two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if theirskew energies are equal. one of the open problems proposed by li andlian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs onn vertices. recently this problem was solved by ramane et al. inthis paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergeticdigraphs.

We prove that the chromatic Ramsey number of every odd wheel W2k+1, k ≥ 2 is 14. That is, for every odd wheel W2k+1, there exists a 14-chromatic graph F such that when the edges of F are two-coloured, there is a monochromatic copy of W2k+1 in F , and no graph F with chromatic number 13 has the same property. We ask whether a natural extension of odd wheels to the family of generalized Mycielski...

We study the binary Ehrenfeucht Mycielski sequence seeking a balance between the number of occurrences of different binary strings. There have been numerous attempts to prove the balance conjecture of the sequence, which roughly states that 1 and 0 occur equally often in it. Our contribution is twofold. First, we study weaker forms of the conjecture proved in the past and lay out detailed proof...
