a emph{signed graph} (or, in short, emph{sigraph}) $s=(s^u,sigma)$ consists of an underlying graph $s^u :=g=(v,e)$ and a function $sigma:e(s^u)longrightarrow {+,-}$, called the signature of $s$. a emph{marking} of $s$ is a function $mu:v(s)longrightarrow {+,-}$. the emph{canonical marking} of a signed graph $s$, denoted $mu_sigma$, is given as $$mu_sigma(v) := prod_{vwin e(s)}sigma(vw).$$the li...

Let n 1 be an integer. The hypercube Qn is the graph whose vertex set isf0;1gn, where two n-tuples are adjacent if they differ in precisely one coordinate. This graph has many applications in Computer sciences and other area of sciences. Inthe graph Qn, the layer Lk is the set of vertices with exactly k 1’s, namely, vertices ofweight k, 1 k n. The hyper-star graph B(n;k) is...

Expressions for the Zagreb indices and coindices of the total graph, semi-total point graph and of semi-total line graph of subdivision graphs in terms of the parameters of the parent graph are obtained, thus generalizing earlier existing results.

The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...

it is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (castelnuovo-mumford) regularity. as a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph g are equal provided g is well-covered bipa...

‎let $s$ be a subset of a finite group $g$‎. ‎the bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,s)$ of $g$ with respect to $s$ is an undirected graph with vertex set $gtimes{1,2}$ and edge set ${{(x,1),(sx,2)}mid xin g‎, ‎ sin s}$‎. ‎a bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,s)$ is called a bci-graph if for any bi-cayley graph ${rm bcay}(g,t)$‎, ‎whenever ${rm bcay}(g,s)cong {rm bcay}(g,t)$ we have $t=gs^alpha$ for some $...

the concept of the bipartite divisor graph for integer subsets has been considered in [‎graph combinator., ‎ 26 (2010) 95--105‎.]. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we will consider this graph for the set of character degrees of a finite group $g$ and obtain some properties of this graph‎. ‎we show that if $g$ is a solvable group‎, ‎then the number of connected components of this graph is at most $2$ and if $g...

a multicone graph is defined to be join of a clique and a regular graph. a graph $ g $ is  cospectral with  graph $ h $ if their adjacency matrices have the same eigenvalues. a graph $ g $ is  said to be  determined by its spectrum or ds for short, if for any graph $ h $ with $ spec(g)=spec(h)$, we conclude that $ g $ is isomorphic to $ h $. in this paper, we present new classes of  multicone g...

know that prevention is better than cure but it's still the bit of general practice I have always enjoyed least. It's hard to be motivated by something not happening. It's easier to be motivated by screening, where the aim is to detect early-stage disease and there is often compelling evidence for the effectiveness of treatment. But GP enthusiasm for prevention has been dampened by ill-conceive...
