Abstract Given a simple graph with the vertex set X, we discuss a closure operator on X induced by a set of paths with identical lengths in the graph. We introduce a certain set of paths of the same length in the 2-adjacency graph on the digital line ℤ and consider the closure operators on ℤm (m a positive integer) that are induced by a special product of m copies of the introduced set of paths. We focus on the case m = 3 and show that the closure operator considered provides the digital space ℤ3 with a connectedness that may be used for defining digital surfaces satisfying a Jordan surface theorem.

Given a simple graph, we associate with every set of paths of the same positive length a closure operator on the (vertex set of the) graph. These closure operators are then studied. In particular, it is shown that the connectedness with respect to them is a certain kind of path connectedness. Closure operators associated with sets of paths in some graphs with the vertex set Z2 are discussed which include the well known Marcus-Wyse and Khalimsky topologies used in digital topology. This demonstrates possible applications of the closure operators investigated in digital image analysis.

AbstractFor every positive integer n,we introduce and discuss an isotone Galois connection between the sets of paths of lengths n in a simple graph and the closure operators on the (vertex set of the) graph. We consider certain sets of paths in a particular graph on the digital line Z and study the closure operators associated, in the Galois connection discussed, with these sets of paths. We also focus on the closure operators on the digital plane Z2 associated with a special product of the sets of paths considered and show that these closure operators may be used as background structures on the plane for the study of digital images.

In this paper, we propose new definitions of digital Jordan curves and digital Jordan surfaces. We start with introducing and studying closure operators on a given set that are associated with n-ary relations (n > 1 an integer) on this set. Discussed are in particular the closure operators associated with certain n-ary relations on the digital line ℤ. Of these relations, we focus on a ternary one equipping the digital plane ℤ2 and the digital space ℤ3 with the closure operator associated with the direct product of two and three, respectively, copies of this ternary relation. The connectedness provided by the closure operator is shown to be suitable for defining digital curves satisfying a digital Jordan curve theorem and digital surfaces satisfying a digital Jordan surface theorem.

For a simple graph G with a vertex set V G and an edge set E G , a labeling f : V G ∪ ​ E G ⟶ 1,2 , ⋯ , k is called a vertex irregular total k − labeling of G if for any two different vertices x and y in V G we have w t x ≠ w t y where w t x = f x + ∑ u ∈ V G f x u . The smallest positive integer k such that G has a vertex irregular total k − labeling is called the total vertex irregularity strength of G , denoted by tvs G . The lower bound of tvs G for any graph G have been found by Baca et. al. In this paper, we determined the exact value of the total vertex irregularity strength of the hexagonal cluster graph on n cluster for n ≥ 2 . Moreover, we show that the total vertex irregularity strength of the hexagonal cluster graph on n cluster is 3 n 2 + 1 / 2 .

<abstract><p>Let $ R $ be a ring with nonzero identity. The unit graph of $ R $ is a simple graph whose vertex set is $ R $ itself and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is a unit of $ R $. In this paper, we study the radius of unit graphs of rings. We prove that there exists a ring $ R $ such that the radius of unit graph can be any given positive integer. We also prove that the radius of unit graphs of self-injective rings are 1, 2, 3, $ \infty $. We classify all self-injective rings via the radius of its unit graph. The radius of unit graphs of some ring extensions are also considered.</p></abstract>

Let k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G). A function f : V(G) → {±1, ±2, …, ±k} is called a signed total {k}-dominating function if ∑u∈N(v) f(u) ≥ k for each vertex v ∈ V(G). A set {f1, f2, …, fd} of signed total {k}-dominating functions on G with the property that [Formula: see text] for each v∈V(G), is called a signed total {k}-dominating family (of functions) on G. The maximum number of functions in a signed total {k}-dominating family on G is the signed total {k}-domatic number of G, denoted by [Formula: see text]. Note that [Formula: see text] is the classical signed total domatic number dS(G). In this paper, we initiate the study of signed total k-domatic numbers in graphs, and we present some sharp upper bounds for [Formula: see text]. In addition, we determine [Formula: see text] for several classes of graphs. Some of our results are extensions of known properties of the signed total domatic number.

AbstractLet k be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). A vertex of a graph G dominates itself and all vertices adjacent to it. A subset S ⊆ V (G) is a k-tuple dominating set of G if each vertex of V (G) is dominated by at least k vertices in S. The k-tuple domatic number of G is the largest number of sets in a partition of V (G) into k-tuple dominating sets.In this paper, we present a lower bound on the k-tuple domatic number, and we establish Nordhaus-Gaddum inequalities. Some of our results extends those for the classical domatic number.

The power graph of a group [Formula: see text] is the simple graph [Formula: see text], with vertex-set [Formula: see text] and vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent, if and only if [Formula: see text] and either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] for some positive integer [Formula: see text]. The proper power graph of [Formula: see text], denoted [Formula: see text], is the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] by deleting the vertex [Formula: see text]. In [On the connectivity of proper power graphs of finite groups, Comm. Algebra 43 (2015) 4305–4319], it is proved that if [Formula: see text] and neither [Formula: see text] nor [Formula: see text] is a prime, then [Formula: see text] is connected and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we improve the diameter bound of [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is connected. We show that [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. We also describe a number of short paths in these power graphs.

For a simple graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), a labeling $\Phi:V(G)\cup U(G)\rightarrow\{1,2,...k\}$ is  called  a  vertex  irregular  total  k- labeling of G if for any two diferent vertices x and y, their weights wt(x) and wt(y) are distinct.  The weight wt(x) of a vertex x in G is the sum of its label and the labels of all edges incident with the given vertex x.  The total vertex irregularity strength of G, tvs(G), is the smallest positive integer k for which G has a vertex irregular total k-labeling.  In this paper, we study the total vertex irregularity strength of some class of graph.

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{&#x0394;}(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.
