For [Formula: see text], we define the general eccentric distance sum of a connected graph [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the vertex set of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the eccentricity of a vertex [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the distance between vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. This index generalizes several other indices of graphs. We present some bounds on the general eccentric distance sum for general graphs, bipartite graphs and trees of given order, graphs of given order and vertex connectivity and graphs of given order and number of pendant vertices. The extremal graphs are presented as well.

Due to the rapid growth in the use of wireless communication services and the corresponding scarcity and the high cost of radio spectrum bandwidth, Channel assignment problem (CAP) is becoming highly important. Radio [Formula: see text]-coloring of graphs is a variation of CAP. For a positive integer [Formula: see text], a radio [Formula: see text]-coloring of a simple connected graph [Formula: see text] is a mapping [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the set [Formula: see text] of non-negative integers such that [Formula: see text] for each pair of distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. The span of a radio [Formula: see text]-coloring [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined as [Formula: see text] and the radio[Formula: see text]-chromatic number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is [Formula: see text] where the minimum is taken over all radio [Formula: see text]-coloring of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we present two radio [Formula: see text]-coloring algorithms for general graphs which will produce radio [Formula: see text]-colorings with their spans. For an [Formula: see text]-vertex simple connected graph the time complexity of the both algorithm is of [Formula: see text]. Implementing these algorithms we get the exact value of [Formula: see text] for several graphs (for example, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], some circulant graph etc.) and many values of [Formula: see text], especially for [Formula: see text].

Let G = (V; E) be a simple connected graph of order n with m edges. Also let eG(vi) be the eccentricity of a vertex vi in G. We can assume that eG(v1) eG(v2) ? ... ? eG(vn-1) ? eG(vn). The average eccentricity of a graph G is the mean value of eccentricities of vertices of G, avec(G) = 1/n ?n,i=1 eG(vi). Let ? = ?G be the largest positive integer such that eG(vG ) ? avec(G). In this paper, we study the value of G of a graph G. For any tree T of order n, we prove that 2 ? ?T ? n - 1 and we characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we prove that for any graph G of order n,2 ? ?G ? n and we characterize the extremal graphs. Finally some Nordhaus-Gaddum type results are obtained on ?G of general graphs G.

Let G be a connected graph. A set of vertices [Formula: see text] is called subverted from G if each of the vertices in S and the neighbor of S in G are deleted from G. By G/S we denote the survival subgraph that remains after S is subverted from G. A vertex set S is called a cut-strategy of G if G/S is disconnected, a clique, or ø. The vertex-neighbor-scattering number of G is defined by [Formula: see text], where S is any cut-strategy of G, and ø(G/S) is the number of components of G/S. It is known that this parameter can be used to measure the vulnerability of spy networks and the computing problem of the parameter is NP-complete. In this paper, we discuss the vertex-neighbor-scattering number of bipartite graphs. The NP-completeness of the computing problem of this parameter is proven, and some upper and lower bounds of the parameter are also given.

For a graph G = ( V , E ) with vertex set V = V ( G ) and edge set E = E ( G ) , a Roman { 3 } -dominating function (R { 3 } -DF) is a function f : V ( G ) → { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 } having the property that ∑ u ∈ N G ( v ) f ( u ) ≥ 3 , if f ( v ) = 0 , and ∑ u ∈ N G ( v ) f ( u ) ≥ 2 , if f ( v ) = 1 for any vertex v ∈ V ( G ) . The weight of a Roman { 3 } -dominating function f is the sum f ( V ) = ∑ v ∈ V ( G ) f ( v ) and the minimum weight of a Roman { 3 } -dominating function on G is the Roman { 3 } -domination number of G, denoted by γ { R 3 } ( G ) . Let G be a graph with no isolated vertices. The total Roman { 3 } -dominating function on G is an R { 3 } -DF f on G with the additional property that every vertex v ∈ V with f ( v ) ≠ 0 has a neighbor w with f ( w ) ≠ 0 . The minimum weight of a total Roman { 3 } -dominating function on G, is called the total Roman { 3 } -domination number denoted by γ t { R 3 } ( G ) . We initiate the study of total Roman { 3 } -domination and show its relationship to other domination parameters. We present an upper bound on the total Roman { 3 } -domination number of a connected graph G in terms of the order of G and characterize the graphs attaining this bound. Finally, we investigate the complexity of total Roman { 3 } -domination for bipartite graphs.

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

Abstract Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any d-regular graph G on n vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this conjecture when $d = \Omega(n)$ , improving a result of Han, who showed that in this range almost all vertices of G can be covered by $n / (d+1) + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths. In fact our proof gives a partition of V(G) into cycles. We also show that, if $d = \Omega(n)$ and G is bipartite, then V(G) can be partitioned into n/(2d) paths (this bound is tight for bipartite graphs).

Let [Formula: see text] be a k-dimensional vector space over a finite field [Formula: see text] with a basis [Formula: see text]. The nonzero component graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is a simple undirected graph with vertex set as nonzero vectors of [Formula: see text] such that there is an edge between two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] if and only if there exists at least one [Formula: see text] along which both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have nonzero scalars. In this paper, we find the vertex connectivity and girth of [Formula: see text]. We also characterize all vector spaces [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] has genus either 0 or 1 or 2.

Abstract Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be a connected graph. A subset $T \subseteq V(G)$ is called an $R^{k}$-vertex-cut, if $G-T$ is disconnected and each vertex in $V(G)-T$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $G-T$. The cardinality of a minimum $R^{k}$-vertex-cut is the $R^{k}$-vertex-connectivity of $G$ and is denoted by $\kappa ^{k}(G)$. $R^{k}$-vertex-connectivity is a new measure to study the fault tolerance of network structures beyond connectivity. In this paper, we study $R^{1}$-vertex-connectivity and $R^{2}$-vertex-connectivity of Cayley graphs generated by wheel graphs, which are denoted by $AW_{n}$, and show that $\kappa ^{1}(AW_{n})=4n-7$ for $n\geq 6$; $\kappa ^{2}(AW_{n})=6n-12$ for $n\geq 6$.

The intersection graph ITΓ(R) of gamma sets in the total graph TΓ(R) of a commutative ring R, is the undirected graph with vertex set as the collection of all γ-sets in the total graph of R and two distinct vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if u ∩ v ≠ ∅. Tamizh Chelvam and Asir [The intersection graph of gamma sets in the total graph I, to appear in J. Algebra Appl.] studied about ITΓ(R) where R is a commutative Artin ring. In this paper, we continue our interest on ITΓ(R) and actually we study about Eulerian, Hamiltonian and pancyclic nature of ITΓ(R). Further, we focus on certain graph theoretic parameters of ITΓ(R) like the independence number, the clique number and the connectivity of ITΓ(R). Also, we obtain both vertex and edge chromatic numbers of ITΓ(R). In fact, it is proved that if R is a finite commutative ring, then χ(ITΓ(R)) = ω(ITΓ(R)). Having proved that ITΓ(R) is weakly perfect for all finite commutative rings, we further characterize all finite commutative rings for which ITΓ(R) is perfect. In this sequel, we characterize all commutative Artin rings for which ITΓ(R) is of class one (i.e. χ′(ITΓ(R)) = Δ(ITΓ(R))). Finally, it is proved that the vertex connectivity and edge connectivity of ITΓ(R) are equal to the degree of any vertex in ITΓ(R).

Abstract Let k be a positive integer and let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) . A subset D\subseteq V(G) is a k -dominating set if every vertex outside D is adjacent to at least k vertices in D . The k -domination number {\gamma }_{k}(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k -dominating set in G . For any graph G , we know that {\gamma }_{k}(G)\ge \gamma (G)+k-2 where \text{Δ}(G)\ge k\ge 2 and this bound is sharp for every k\ge 2 . In this paper, we characterize bipartite graphs satisfying the equality for k\ge 3 and present a necessary and sufficient condition for a bipartite graph to satisfy the equality hereditarily when k=3 . We also prove that the problem of deciding whether a graph satisfies the given equality is NP-hard in general.
