Let [Formula: see text] be a simple, connected graph of order [Formula: see text] and size [Formula: see text] Then, [Formula: see text] is said to be edge [Formula: see text]-choosable, if there exists a collection of subsets of the edge set, [Formula: see text] of cardinality [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] whenever [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are incident. This paper initiates a study on edge [Formula: see text]-choosability of certain fundamental classes of graphs and determines the maximum value of [Formula: see text] for which the given graph [Formula: see text] is edge [Formula: see text]-choosable. Also, in this paper, the relation between edge choice number and other graph theoretic parameters is discussed and we have given a conjecture on the relation between edge choice number and matching number of a graph.

If G = ( V ( G ) , E ( G ) ) is a simple connected graph with the vertex set V ( G ) and the edge set E ( G ) , S is a subset of V ( G ) , and let B ( S ) be the set of neighbors of S in V ( G ) ∖ S . Then, the differential of S ∂ ( S ) is defined as | B ( S ) | − | S | . The differential of G, denoted by ∂ ( G ) , is the maximum value of ∂ ( S ) for all subsets S ⊆ V ( G ) . The graph operator Q ( G ) is defined as the graph that results by subdividing every edge of G once and joining pairs of these new vertices iff their corresponding edges are incident in G. In this paper, we study the relations between ∂ ( G ) and ∂ ( Q ( G ) ) . Besides, we exhibit some results relating the differential ∂ ( G ) and well-known graph invariants, such as the domination number, the independence number, and the vertex-cover number.

For a simple connected graph [Formula: see text] let [Formula: see text] be a coloring of [Formula: see text] where two adjacent vertices may be assigned the same color. Let [Formula: see text] be the sum of colors of neighbors of any vertex [Formula: see text] The coloring [Formula: see text] is a sigma coloring of [Formula: see text] if for any two adjacent vertices [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] The least number of colors required in a sigma coloring of [Formula: see text] is the sigma chromatic number of [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text] A sigma coloring of a graph is a neighbor-distinguishing type of coloring and it is known that the sigma chromatic number of a graph is bounded above by its chromatic number. It is also known that for a path [Formula: see text] and a cycle [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is even. Let [Formula: see text] the join of the graphs [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is not an odd cycle for any [Formula: see text].

On the great success of bond-additive topological indices like Szeged, Padmakar-Ivan, Zagreb, and irregularity measures, yet another index, the Mostar index, has been introduced recently as a peripherality measure in molecular graphs and networks. For a connected graph G, the Mostar index is defined as $$M_{o}(G)=\displaystyle{\sum\limits_{e=gh\epsilon E(G)}}C(gh),$$ where $C(gh) \,=\,\left|n_{g}(e)-n_{h}(e)\right|$ be the contribution of edge $uv$ and $n_{g}(e)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ lying closer to vertex $g$ than to vertex $h$ ($n_{h}(e)$ define similarly). In this paper, we prove a general form of the results obtained by $Do\check{s}li\acute{c}$ et al.\cite{18} for compute the Mostar index to the Cartesian product of two simple connected graph. Using this result, we have derived the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, complete graphs and to some molecular graphs.

Pollution of sea waters is one of major attributes of coastal industrial centers and the norming of such emissions is one of major countermeasures. The assimilation capacity of sea waters is a major factor relevant at norming and planning of outflows into sea waters. At present time the synoptical method has been developed, which doesn’t require carrying out long time and repeated observing of the level of pollution of sea waters. This method has formed the basis for developing the integrated synoptical method for calculating sea water assimilation capacity. The suggested method provides for division of the sea waters into separated homogenous water masses. The aim of the study is to develop an inverse integrated synoptical method allowing synthesizing of such an optimum order for loading separate water masses with pollutants upon, at which the calculated total value of assimilation capacity would reach its maximum. The article shows the possibility of utilization of known synoptical method for determining assimilation capacity of sea waters in the inverse order, i.e. for calculating the maximum value of pollutant put into the fixed zone of sea waters, upon a condition of reaching the given amount of assimilation capacity and absence of essential negative effect on ecosystem. The task of calculating an optimum regime function of discrete type, upon which the integrated value of assimilation capacity would reach the maximum value, has been formulated. The solution of analogue equivalent of the formed optimization task is carried out using the Euler equation for a non-conditional variation optimization task, taking into account the accepted limitation condition. The recommendations on optimum loading of different sea water zones with determined type of pollutant have been given.

The energy of a graph G, ?(G), is the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The matching number ?(G) is the number of edges in a maximum matching. In this paper, for a connected graph G of order n with largest vertex degree ? ? 6 we present two new upper bounds for the energy of a graph: ?(G) ? (n-1)?? and ?(G) ? 2?(G)??. The latter one improves recently obtained bound ?(G) ? {2?(G)?2?e + 1, if ?e is even; ?(G)(? a + 2?a + ?a-2?a), otherwise, where ?e stands for the largest edge degree and a = 2(?e + 1). We also present a short proof of this result and several open problems.

In the network localization problem the goal is to determine the location of all nodes by using only partial information on the pairwise distances (and by computing the exact location of some nodes, called anchors). The network is said to be uniquely localizable if there is a unique set of locations consistent with the given data. Recent results from graph theory and combinatorial rigidity made it possible to characterize uniquely localizable networks in two dimensions. Based on these developments, extensions, related optimization problems, algorithms, and constructions also became tractable. This chapter gives a detailed survey of these new results from the graph theorist’s viewpoint.

Let G=(V; E) be a simple connected graph. The sets of vertices and edges of G are denoted by V=V(G) and E=E (G), respectively. The geometric-arithmetic index is a topological index was introduced by Vukicevic and Furtula in 2009 and defined as  in which degree of vertex u denoted by dG(u) (or du for short). In 2011, A. Graovac et al defined a new version of GA index as  where  The goal of this paper is to compute the fifth geometric-arithmetic index for "Circumcoronene series of benzenoid Hk (k≥1)".

The vertex-edge Wiener index of a simple connected graph $G$ is defined as the sum of distances between vertices and edges of $G$. The vertex-edge Wiener polynomial of $G$ is a generating function whose first derivative is a $q-$analog of the vertex-edge Wiener index. Two possible distances $D_1(u, e|G)$ and $D_2(u, e|G)$ between a vertex $u$ and an edge $e$ of $G$ can be considered and corresponding to them, the first and second vertex-edge Wiener indices of $G$, and the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of $G$ are introduced. In this paper, we study the behavior of these indices and polynomials under the join and corona product of graphs. Results are applied for some classes of graphs such as suspensions, bottlenecks, and thorny graphs.
