Let K [ G ] denote the edge ring of a finite connected simple graph G on [ d ] and mat ( G ) the matching number of G. It is shown that reg ( K [ G ] ) ≤ mat ( G ) if G is non-bipartite and K [ G ] is normal, and that reg ( K [ G ] ) ≤ mat ( G ) − 1 if G is bipartite.

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A function $f : V(G) \rightarrow \mathcal{P}(\{1, 2, \dotsc, k\})$ is a \textit{$k$-rainbow dominating function} on $G$ if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$ for which $f(v)= \emptyset$, it holds that $\bigcup_{u \in N(v)}f(u) = \{1, 2, \dotsc, k\}$. The weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function is the value $\sum_{v \in V(G)}|f(v)|$. The \textit{$k$-rainbow domination number} $\gamma_{rk}(G)$ is the minimum weight of a $k$-rainbow dominating function on $G$. In this paper, we initiate the study of $k$-rainbow domination numbers in middle graphs. We define the concept of a middle $k$-rainbow dominating function, obtain some bounds related to it and determine the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of some classes of graphs. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the middle $3$-rainbow domination number of trees in terms of the matching number. In addition, we determine the $3$-rainbow domatic number for the middle graph of paths and cycles.

We give a formula for the v-number of a graded ideal that can be used to compute this number. Then, we show that for the edge ideal I(G) of a graph G, the induced matching number of G is an upper bound for the v-number of I(G) when G is very well-covered, or G has a simplicial partition, or G is well-covered connected and contains neither four, nor five cycles. In all these cases, the v-number of I(G) is a lower bound for the regularity of the edge ring of G. We classify when the induced matching number of G is an upper bound for the v-number of I(G) when G is a cycle and classify when all vertices of a graph are shedding vertices to gain insight into the family of W2-graphs.

Abstract The regularity $${\text {reg}}R(I(G))$$ reg R ( I ( G ) ) of the Rees ring R(I(G)) of the edge ideal I(G) of a finite simple graph G is studied. It is shown that, if R(I(G)) is normal, one has $${\text {mat}}(G) \le {\text {reg}}R(I(G)) \le {\text {mat}}(G) + 1$$ mat ( G ) ≤ reg R ( I ( G ) ) ≤ mat ( G ) + 1 , where $${\text {mat}}(G)$$ mat ( G ) is the matching number of G. In general, the induced matching number is a lower bound for the regularity, which can be shown by applying the squarefree divisor complex.

On the one hand, Ohsugi and Hibi characterized the edge ring of a finite connected simple graph with a 2-linear resolution. On the other hand, Hibi, Matsuda and the author conjectured that the edge ring of a finite connected simple graph with a [Formula: see text]-linear resolution, where [Formula: see text], is a hypersurface and proved the case [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we solve this conjecture for the case of finite connected simple bipartite graphs.

Abstract Classical applications of resolving sets and metric dimension can be observed in robot navigation, networking and pharmacy. In the present article, a formula for computing the metric dimension of a simple graph wihtout singleton twins is given. A sufficient condition for the graph to have the exchange property for resolving sets is found. Consequently, every minimal resolving set in the graph forms a basis for a matriod in the context of independence defined by Boutin [Determining sets, resolving set and the exchange property, Graphs Combin., 2009, 25, 789-806]. Also, a new way to define a matroid on finite ground is deduced. It is proved that the matroid is strongly base orderable and hence satisfies the conjecture of White [An unique exchange property for bases, Linear Algebra Appl., 1980, 31, 81-91]. As an application, it is shown that the power graphs of some finite groups can define a matroid. Moreover, we also compute the metric dimension of the power graphs of dihedral groups.

For a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most, one isolated vertex, a labeling φ:E(G)→{1,2,…,k} of positive integers to the edges of G is called irregular if the weights of the vertices, defined as wtφ(v)=∑u∈N(v)φ(uv), are all different. The irregularity strength of a graph G is known as the maximal integer k, minimized over all irregular labelings, and is set to ∞ if no such labeling exists. In this paper, we determine the exact value of the irregularity strength and the modular irregularity strength of fan graphs.

AbstractA simple graph $$G=(V,E)$$ G = ( V , E ) is said to be k-Zumkeller graph if there is an injective function f from the vertices of G to the natural numbers N such that when each edge $$xy\in E$$ x y ∈ E is assigned the label f(x)f(y), the resulting edge labels are k distinct Zumkeller numbers. In this paper, we show that the super subdivision of path, cycle, comb, ladder, crown, circular ladder, planar grid and prism are k-Zumkeller graphs.

For a simple graph G=(V,E) with no isolated vertices, a total Roman {3}-dominating function(TR3DF) on G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,3} having the property that (i) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥3 if f(v)=0; (ii) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥2 if f(v)=1; and (iii) every vertex v with f(v)≠0 has a neighbor u with f(u)≠0 for every vertex v∈V(G). The weight of a TR3DF f is the sum f(V)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) and the minimum weight of a total Roman {3}-dominating function on G is called the total Roman {3}-domination number denoted by γt{R3}(G). In this paper, we show that the total Roman {3}-domination problem is NP-complete for planar graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. Finally, we present a linear-time algorithm to compute the value of γt{R3} for trees.
